Fuel Dumping and other new mechanics (Past, Present and Future)

Dev Server "Leviathans" General Discussion - Dev Server

At the moment on the dev server. The Only aircraft with the fuel dumping mechanic is the F-111A which seesm rather stupid to me as it means the only players that can actually test this new mechanic are those with the F-111A unlocked.

This isnt the first time either, for example we had Typhoon Radar changes last major and the only players that could test them were players with the German Typhoon unlocked, Italian and British players just had to wait till live to provide feedback.

Whilst a lot could be said about just making sure more aircraft got new mechanics, there is a simpler, easier change.

Allow for all vehicles to be test drived on the dev server without any pre-requirements to unlock the vehicle first. This would massively increase the amount of feedback you would get per dev server and allow everyone to try out everything. (there is an argument for this to be added to the live server as well)

Should the dev server remove pre-requirements for test driving vehicles?

On other games, test server gives players pre-cooked/pre-baked accounts without relation to their normal gameplay account progression specially trimmed to encourage and simplify the process of testing new content.

The fact that Warthunder does NOT do this absolutely boggles me.

The SS13 server I contribute to had better playtest environment and curation.

why does this restriction even exist?

I assume its just because it does on the live server. Though there is arguments to remove it form that too. Like making bug reporting easier and to trial vehicles before grinding a tree

Rather than only giving CCs this privilege through insane GE funds on the dev servers, the ability to test drive all vehicles should be added to the dev server (and imo the live one as well, but that’s another topic).
