Firebirds: Improved Mud On Ground Vehicles & Naval Effect Improvements

Not just separate for naval.

quite needed, in general I’d want to not be deafened on the runway in air RB but also be able to hear an enemies engine in ground without changing my audio settings,

Bingo, but even Sound Presets won’t fix developer’s decision to deafen ARB players who just want to play the planes and have to take off with other 10+ loud engine noises.

Currently bomb timer carries between Realistic modes which makes me constantly bomb myself in GRB after playing Naval RB, I just doubt that devs can carry out this good feature (that you proposed) without messing all bomb time fuses for several months.

Mud devblog to pass time until update is crazy

Oh wow, i’ve been wanting this feature ever since i unlocked my first radar plane!
Such a nice QoL change <3

Additional point to this; Being able to select control-mode with specific key binds instead of cycling through the options.

Now we just need this for other settings like ballistic computer, auto wing sweep, and a few others im forgetting

Is more dirt on your tank really a good thing? Right now my tank often gets very dirty quite quickly and it is not pleasant to look at. If it gets even worse, who will actually enjoy seeing this (apart from the devs who did this instead of making useful improvements)?

For Helicopters cannon ballistic computer is turned off by default for some silly reason. I helped a mate to discover this in Heli PvE and he was super amazed coz he did not know about this.

Its off by default for aircraft too. Really annoying

Good additional update.

whatever the bar is that displays the ammunition shells, smoke etc normally on tanks. Whenever I shrink it, yes it stays down, but every start of a match I have to shrink it which is just annoying. It’d be nice if it was just an option to have it there or not for air battles specifically.

Yes, there is a configurable button for that, and if you tap it, it closes/opens the action bar.

But if you hold the button for 2, 3 seconds, the action bar hides permanently until it is activated again (again by pressing the button 2, 3 seconds). And this is persistent, also between matches, and even after restarting the client.

it’s not sadly. every time I have gotten into a new match or restarted the game it very much is back to its original state

Hm, strange…

Maybe should be submitted as a bug.

Yeah sure it will be awesome when it comes out next year

Any updates on visual or environmental improvements?

Terrain deformation would be a fantastic addition, similar to the level of detail in Mudrunner. It could lead to vehicles getting bogged down and the need for logistical vehicles to come to the rescue. This would open up possibilities for minelayers, bridging vehicles, and even supply vehicles for ground battles.

Are there any plans to improve naval guns as well? Enhancing the firing effects and the way ships maneuver through water, leaving realistic wakes, would add an immersive touch.

Lastly, it would be amazing to see more interactive crew actions in ground vehicles and ships

Imagine a commander using binoculars when scouting and then being tucked inside the tank when not in use. Having the crew visibly interact with reloading and firing would bring a new level of realism.
