IR tracking because they don’t have that one specific module installed even though they can relatively easily install it

Did the CV90 ever have it’s IR tracking installed? If it did, even if it was once, then there shouldn’t be no reason for it not to have it. But if it never did, then I understand the situation. Though, I do find it ironic that non-US Apache gets DIRCM on the pretense of, “it can be easily installed/compatible” regardless that it is more complicated than that.

I wouldn’t know. In general it’s better to ask things like this to the Community Managers. I do know that munitions are sort of a balance factor to give or not (with the requirement that the vehicle can use the munition) and is less restricted by historical loadouts.

I think they are going based off of compatibility and balance. They could give the AIM the KEW-A2 but that would require “balancing” but it wouldn’t really change much anything since the M1A2 is at 12.0.

comprehensive posts in that way but rather individual answers from the Community Managers.

This is where a part of the issue lies, if there isn’t a comprehensive guideline on what is and isn’t allowed then post like these come up.

I have no idea why the devs are trying to hold themselves to a “standard” they can’t keep.

The bug report system is also flawed because the burden of proof is up to the reporter to prove the devs are wrong. Instead, it should go both ways. Best way it can be done is to have a database of all sources used should be accessible to verify where they got the information from.

It would make the bug report system so much more bearable.

“But they can’t share their sources as some are from private archives, though”

At very minimum all they would need to do is provide a title, and cover page, and some way to reference a specific excerpt(e.g. figure or page number). Similar to the way we do for reports and let us track them down.

Only ever proven in the Technical Demonstrator, which is why the LVKV 9040C has it in-game.

But if it never did, then I understand the situation.

I think the biggest problem many have is that the CV90’s does in fact have a version of air tracking IRL, just in a way that is currently not a mechanic in-game yet. (TLDR; Laser pulse + trigonometry “cruise control” aim. Better explanation here: CV 90 MK.IV data and discussion - #104 by Necronomica ).

Agreed.

Apart of me feels like this is done on purpose to feign ignorance
