Can we ever expect to see these smaller 3-5€ packs come to consoles, such as the ‘Slick flanker’, ‘TOP SECRET’ and recently the smaller E-Sports packs.

They are nice, easy ways to get a few hundred GE alongside a unique title, something we rarely get the chance to earn/buy on console.

Maybe in a similar way to how CC discounts work, where we can access the Gaijin Store to purchase the smaller packs and redeem them on the console??

Any chance a rework for BOL countermeasures is planned for the future?

[HoluhovskyCZ]

B-25 cockpit looks exciting, hope the PBJ gets it aswell

@magazine2

Also on the cards is a highly unusual experimental bomber, it’ll have a rather special playstyle

[Pvt_Wade]

For most players, it can be a bit tedious to get the same map twice in a row, especially if it’s a map that doesn’t align with your playstyle or one that you don’t have the most suitable lineup for. Due to this, over the last few weeks we’ve been testing a new matchmaking system that will drastically reduce the likelihood of getting the same map twice in a row. When selecting a map for battle, the matchmaker now takes into account the map history of all players in the queue — it sees the map that each player previously played on, and will reduce the chance of selecting that map again for the upcoming battle.

Please make it so if a player has liked a map it is excluded from this. There’s some maps that people (including me) really like and wouldn’t mind playing a few times in a row

@magazine2

With this in mind, we’ve decided to implement a new feature to help. We’ll be adding a random ground vehicle spawn option in Ground Arcade and Ground Realistic Battles in lineups of 9.3 and above. This will work similarly to the aircraft spawns for Naval Battles, where you have the option to spawn a random fighter or bomber. For Ground Realistic Battles, there will be two options: a random spawn for tanks and another for SPAAs, while Ground Arcade Battles will just have a tank option.

I really love this and hope it is further expanded. It would be really fun if you could choose to bring a single vehicle from another tree to your lineup to help.

@magazine2

We’re planning a handful of advanced SAM systems for several nations in the next update. We’ll be adding a few, but we think you’ll especially like the two we have planned for Japan and Sweden. We also have some very interesting light vehicles in the works…

Still no I-Derby ER for the SPYDER and the Python 5 still wiggles itself to death :c
Cmon, give that thing some love

[Chxnxlmx-live]

Some really good changes in here,

Hell yeah to bomber cockpits, map rotation revisions, we’ll see with the GRB changes but it sounds promising (extra random spawn), be good to see the guns only mode back with more BR availability.

[RowanFW]

Those naval damage reward changes are looking fantastic! Can’t wait to see them in practice!

Though I am curious whether the isdue of “last hit kills” will get looked into too. Setting a fire close to a magazine leading to eventual detonation is still creddited to whoever hits the target last. And not to whoever set the fire.

But either way, as a naval fan I’ve got a lot to look forward too! (Hopefully some stuff below the waves too))))))

For Japan and Sweden?
Japan could use more combat vehicles all round.

[XxBLAZEFIRExX]

To give people more spawns?

[HoluhovskyCZ]

good

@magazine2

NO！no，Do not randomly SPAAs

Nigel is always among us, but he’s hiding.

This is great, I will be using this decal for sure

@magazine2

Testing new Matchmaking to avoid repeat maps

Welcome addition. Will you consider giving more ban options than one for the map filter? Or maybe weighting the likes and dislikes more heavily. There are some maps I’d rather not play on at all, if possible.

@magazine2

We’ll be adding a random ground vehicle spawn option in Ground Arcade and Ground Realistic Battles in lineups of 9.3 and above

This sounds like a good addition, but I’ll have to try it to be sure. I hope the random vehicles will not be in completely stock condition? Maybe half modded?

However, there is one thing I think the community deserves an answer to, and it’s this thread: Custom flags functionality. All we’re asking is for all in-game operators to have access to their flags.

Cheers!

this wack thing?

Theres a chance for Patriot…

[GamerFromSpace]

What if it’s that flying wing thing, can’t remember the name

[dotKEYツ]

@magazine2

We’ve been testing this for around three weeks on the live servers, and have been gathering data in the meantime. Based on the matchmaking results and the data we’ve collected, the number of players experiencing a repeat map has dropped by orders of magnitude across the board (by more than ten times).

Can we also get a increased chance of getting Maps that the players upvoted?

I have upvoted Sinai and sometimes i wont got sinai in 4 days!

@XxBLAZEFIRExX

To give people more spawns?

Absolutely not.
Gives gaijin the chance to sell even more top tier vehicles to newbies? Yes.
