But the OCU stays as it is 😔

Lots of cool stuff in there

I’m a bit iffy about that, drones are very hard to shoot down with early gun based AA platforms and even with the longer cooldown being able to scout the entire team with impunity and broadcast their positions to your team feels a bit much.
You can do it to a certain degree currently but its much shorter and more manual.

And more flares (used to have 90), which was removed for some reason.

Thank god, scared me a little.

Hey. The Tornado IDS has been tested with the B-61. Since the aircraft wont have national markings (as with all nuke carriers in game), its not required for a nuke to have been in German inventory.

Gotta say, the balance is now getting a bit unfair against the autoloaded tanks (no, I am not saying their original immunity to having loading interrupted was fair!).

If every little part in the loading chain is going to count as an autoloader failure and have to go through a full repair cycle to reload, the human loaded tanks without every little bit modeled are going to be far harder to disable loading on. Not only is it harder to hit the loader than this whole array of parts, but with crew skills trained up it is far faster to replace the loader than do an autoloader repair.

Are we going to get the knee switches for the Leo 2 and Abrams ready racks (full ammo in Abrams case) modeled? Will damaging the ammo doors interrupt loading on them? Will the deploying gun shield on the British L30 that must be deployed to fire be modeled to damage?

If only having the carousel is oversimplifying all the parts that can be damaged to interrupt loading, so is only having the human crewman on manually loaded tanks.

Battlecruiser or battleship?
Russian versions states battleship

“Линкор” is a battleship. Battlecruiser is “Линейный крейсер”

So no discussion on fixing the compression problems nor the fact that all the current new SPAA have no reason being the same BR as the SLM great…

No news on any new tech tree though :(

But the IDS doesnt have a MAW system, where as the F111 and SU24 both do? Just for parity and balance sake…

Okay so there’s A LOT to unpack here.
First, I want to applaud the teams that keep bringing UI/UX updates. I have some friends starting out high tier air, and the radars changes are godsend.

The new nukes are also very nice to see, that was a bit issue at 11.0 and above especially with the new SAM. I hope that them being 11.3 and higher also means further ground decompression, that would be very appreciated.

Those detailed helicopter cockpits are awesome, well done to whoever makes them

Would have been nice to have some teasing/clues for the new SAM, but oh well, let’s wait for further news :(

I do appreciate the new SP mechanics for planes with ground ordinance. I hope this will also be followed by a decrease of the cost of Fox 3 missiles. To need to have as much SP as laser guided ground weappnry is a bit stupid.

I’m sad to see the decrease in SP and cooldown increase with the scout drone, but on the other hand the mechanic is more streamlined.
I’m not sure I’m fully onboard with this reduction applying when not in the drone, since once launched it can not be brought back. In this case it would make more sense to apply this reduction only within 5s of exiting the drone view or something like that to prevent abuses of the drone scout mechanic and have it work line regular scouting

All in all lots of positive things, I’m hyped for these changes

Edit : a new UI change that I would appreciate is adding information on the laser range finder (activated or not), because I find the current implementation with the little green circle a bit too hard to see (especially when the targeting pod can’t see the target point, you don’t see that circle so you don’t know if it’s on or off)

I hope the radar overhaul won’t be too obstructive, and that it doesn’t mess up all the keybinds set for the radar…

Let’s just say I’m quite used to my keybinds

Any chance the MH-60 will get a properly modelled cockpit soon?

I hope its the latter, the list of available battlecruiser options isn’t all that exciting (IMO)

(having said that, other than Tirpitz the available battleships dont really float my boat either)

Are we expecting the EFV/AAAV? This one is a very cool choice if it’s at least, I’m very excited for modern amphibious designs like this one and the BMMP.

Will there be any semblance of sensor fusion process this update?
