I mean it’s close, very close, but I rounded my values off to one decimal like in-game. If I extend it, we will find my values are like 14,732…x for the 65A or 29,478…x for the 65B, ever so slightly off. It gets worse on the guided weapon spreadsheet on some other weapons, where some have the same FoV values in-game but get slightly different magnification values on the spreadsheet (min zoom of PGM-500/2000 vs min zoom of Kh-29TD, etc, same FoVs but different magnification). And AFAIK FoV and magnification in-game are directly tied to eachother (so they all assume the same focal length).
In what sense might they? I thought they already did it, or will the Su-34 not be armed with the Kh-38?
BTW in my opinion, this trailer contains outright propaganda, and it’s false. Because the scene with the Abrams tanks looks very similar to a reference to the Battle of 73 Easting.
No.
That famous top attack missile. Doing its best to hit turret faces and the most armoured part of a tank

Why would you have a main feature of the trailer be the patriot missile and patriot missile avoidance and yet not have it in the game?
You all spend more time on teaser trailers than actually working on gameplay features.
It’s just new shiny vehicles and barely anything else.
Air gameplay has needed work for YEARS and the Gaijin team doesn’t even bother responding to questions about its future.

It does actually. Scene where Su-34 avoids Patriot missile is Ctrl+C - Ctrl+V from the real situation that happened like 2 months ago.
Fun fact: information about launch of the missile is given by A-50 AWACS because Su-34 did not have functioning RWR in that mission (also you can’t see a lock from Patriot missile untill it is like 1second away from you (Patriot is TWS system unlike S-300 and it’s derivatives))
Is there anything CAS worthy for German players planned? Cause a Phantom with 2 Mavericks and a Tornado with just one GBU-24 isn’t really competitive at top BR. There are 10.3 jets with more elaborate loadouts for other nations…

IRL of course there is, but in game… Meh
Germany suffers heavily in terms of CAS. F-18 could improve the situation but i have no idea when it can be implemented

In that situation, there were no tricks with a smokestack, yet the missile still hit.
But I’m talking about another episode — the one where a group of Abrams tanks was flanked by T-62s, and they started frantically calling for air support. As far as I know, nothing like that happened in reality. Iraqi tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed by the hundreds, with the only loss being a Bradley (which didn’t burn like a T-72 when hit).
By the way, there was an episode when a pair of reconnaissance Bradleys ran into 13 defending T-72s and managed to destroy 5 of them before reinforcements arrived.
I know a little bit about service history of Bradleys and Abrams, so yeah, it confused me too. That scene could be made differently and much more accurate
Well Wheres Germany’s Counter part to all this?? They Should be getting A Tornda GR4 to but more Air-Air combat?

It wasn’t meant to be accurate, yes it is clearly a reference but Gaijin is still trying to keep themselves semi-distant from IRL conflicts, even if they’re more open to it now.
They could’ve just flat out used the real audio for the Su-34 part, but they didn’t.
With the first major variant being the Hawk 2A.
Idk about the RWR thing. Fighterbomber did a breakdown, and apparently there’s tactical aviation controllers all over the front, and behind it. They were talking to the Su-34 apparently at some point noticing the launch etc. etc. It’s standard to have air controllers in the Russian Air Force who help vector planes onto targets, and also help with battlefield management. Nowhere did I hear they didn’t have RWR, although I can’t say your wrong either.
That wasn’t just a reference; it was a direct quote from an incident that happened in the current conflict. Given the recent scandal with their community manager, there’s only one conclusion to be drawn (I won’t get banned for this, right?).

I’m so frikking hyped to test out the new graphics as well as hit analysis thingy!

That is still just a reference. Whether you want to assume anything else from it is up to you.
No, but they have already cleared a bunk in the Gulag for you.
