Ground Locations Reworks & Arresting Gear in the Heavy Cavalry Update!

[joshje100]

@Morvran_

need the arrestor hook added as a seperate keybind I think.

Perhaps something like.

• Toggle Gear & Arrestor hook
• Toggle Gear
• Toggle Arrestor hook.

Or maybe have a toggle in settings to go between these options. Either have it on automatic separate from the landing gear, deploy with the landing gear, or a manual keybind in which case you would then be prompted to add a keybind.

question for arrestor on land, will it have the weaker one than the carrier, which some jets like F-15 and F-16 would able to use?

On all maps, we’ve strived to preserve the navigation and gameplay players are familiar with, while also implementing a major visual update aimed at creating a more realistic, atmospheric, and cinematic combat environment. We hope you enjoy! Ash River locations, and a new version of the winter Ardennes map will be added.

something in this text seems buggy @Stona_WT

The new order

[Morvran]

Yeah, that would work too

[AydanL44_Hunter]

Should work with everything probably, it’s qol mostly after all
I don’t think hooks have a max speed modelled either

[Morvran]

Waaaay too much room for flanking

[WalletWorrier]

Or just two and if you want to deploy both at the same time bind them to the same key

SINGAPORE MENTIONED RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

:copium:

[Metal_Bandit]

Too large !!! remember in WT sniping is boring !!!

Really stop modifing the old maps. Eastern Europe, Big Sinai and now Ash River. In 2017 with the half of the maps i rarely skip a battle and today are like 30 maps i never play. I spend more time in crewlock than playing.

[NajmiCreative]

I mean, any jet that has hook but not rated for naval ops like F-15, F-16, F-5E, EF Typhoons, land Rafale C

but yea that would need minor model update unless those hooks already future proofed

[JuneQT]

I mean I assume the hooks are largely for naval aircraft that don’t have drag chutes and thus take forever to stop

[AydanL44_Hunter]

Yeah I mean those will probably work, in game they’re counted as having arresting gear and have a hook, and pretty sure they even work on carriers for some reason

[Morvran]

@AydanL44_Hunter

I don’t think hooks have a max speed modelled either

Im thinking they should. Add a consequence to using the hooks. If you land too fast, the hook rips your tail off.

It also gives a meaningful difference to the Naval aircraft that should be stronger. As schindibee mentioned, its wierd seeing an F-104 land on a carrier

[AydanL44_Hunter]

True

[BossyBandit_TTV]

Press F to pay respect

@Stona_WT

First, we’d like to show you the first screenshots of the locations for Ground Battles.

Please don’t be worse, please don’t be worse, please don’t be worse…

Yooooooo my suggestion for arrestor gear finally got implemented!

As much as I put in the suggestion for this, I do agree with everyone here that a separate button for arrestor gear would be welcome!

Also, will both arrestor gear AND a drag chute deploy? Would be kinda wonky

[FutureFlash2034]

Absolutely agree, I for one DO NOT want arrestor landings all the time.

I want it as a keybind just like reverse thrust on aircraft that have it. So that those who want to use it all the time can.

And those of us who only want to use it in an EMERGENCY can CHOOSE when to use it or not.

Highway airstrips use them as it does slow a plane down fast. Huge chunks of the USA highway system is built to handle aircraft after being inspired by the Germans in WW2 1945 use of the autobahn highway for aircraft. Your airbase gets nuked you got all this highway cant nuke all that!
