Kings of Battle — Answering your questions from the dev server

[Zrzut ekranu 2023-10-30 151012] Hi everyone. We’ve collected a decent amount of questions from several different platforms and have compiled the most common questions into a dev server response. Thank you for leaving comments, suggestions and feedback during the last dev server! Aircraft Q: With the Type 81 being introduced, having a very advanced IR anti-air missile, as well as other IR missile improvements and addition of new carriers of such missiles, can you tell us anything about the lo…

In the blog post they just said

@Gaijingles

We knew you’d ask, so we’ll include it here too. We know your anticipation about skill bonuses in RP as well as research bonuses for new nations, and we’re working on these right now too!

Oh you beautiful !

Q: With the recent BR changes, and other recent additions, several aircraft at 11.3 now have AIM-9L and/or Python 3. Have there been any reconsiderations for the British Phantoms to receive AIM-9L too?

A: We have looked into this based on feedback, however the British Phantoms already are well balanced in terms of their overall efficiency at their current Battle Rating given their current loadouts. Adding AIM-9L to these aircraft will naturally increase their effectiveness and thus likely drive their BR up to 11.7. Right now Britain currently has a total of 4 aircraft on Rank VII. An increase in BR to 11.7 will also lead to an increase in rank too. So there are numerous considerations to be made that currently means adding more advanced weaponry to them is not suitable at the moment.

BRUH

[Deathmisser]

Ha lol

Q: With the addition of the French M26, is it possible we will see the M26A1 variant?

A: Currently the standard M26 is what we plan to include for the French tree. But we don’t rule out the inclusion of other members of the Pershing or even Patton family in the future for the French tree.

[Deathmisser]

French M48 inbound hehe

[Michael-IR]

This is a lie.

[Deathmisser]

I guess this mean the update is tomorrow

What the hell…

Not entirely surprised but i’m still disappointed. Took my beloved FG.1 for a spin and it stands no chance in ARB 12.3 matches, which is the majority of matches right now. I’m able to bag one or two kills consistently but the moment anyone starts to focus me it’s hocus pocus and back to the hangar you go.
9Gs are long in the tooth and Skyslug ahem sorry Skyflash is hopeless. 5km shots are just about reliable kills, but in a 1v1 BVR duel it doesn’t stand a chance.

Also no… they wouldnt. EJ Kai has a better radar, better radar missiles, better flt performance than the FG.1, yet… we’d be at the same BR because we both have 9Ls? The Tornado F.3 has 9Ls at 11.3, along with a better radar and far better radar missiles… what the.

[SuTa_basuto]

maybe spey is too powerful

[Michael-IR]

External gun pod too op

[Deathmisser]

So adding better misses to an aircraft is not ok

but adding a new powerful variant that a tech tree doesn’t need is ok

WTF is this logic
