Major Update 'Alpha Strike" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

to each their own. Props are fun too. I’m personally very interested in modern jets, using radar and all that

I have a switch pro-controller would that work?

Interesting. I mean yeah as long as you can connect it to your PC I don’t see why not. Just convert whatever the equivalent is on the PS/XBOX controller onto your switch controller

Mig25 can’t not reach over 1.M at sea alt, I think Gaijin could skip mig25 and add mig31

I agree. Mig25 is very iconic but not exactly ideal. Would be cool as an event vehicle though.

Would give naval aviation a useful niche.

Could allow for more modern patrol planes and helicopters, making for more fun.

Really not generally realistic in PVP, but definitely something fun for PvE with large installations in a EC version of Air RB/SB.

Indeed. I’ve said this a few times but my most wanted nations biggest problem is that ASW helis have no place in the game right now.

And in turn means they have no helis.

All 3 of those, plus a few other things could make WT into a pretty insane combined arms powerhouse, if Gaijin decides to ever delve into combined arms EC events

Imagine just outright recreating the Gulf War lol

Really is frustrating they have a golden gamemode yet fail to fully use it…

EC is the kind of thing that can be split into multiple different types of gamemodes and whatnot lol, as well as dividing it into PvP and PvE

Or anything real or semi-historical or historical-fiction even. All would be fun to play.

Doing deep strike missions into NATO lines as a massive armor wave attempts to cross the Fulda gap? Imagine if they could give you points for friendly vehicles surviving to a waypoint or whatever. Would be super fun.

I’d love for a true “combined arms” mode.

Land,sea and air.

As a primarily ground player TO would be nice but a full combined arms is what I truly want for added game modes.

Exactly! There is so much damn potential

Before I got my Thrustmaster Hotas 4 joystick setup, I was also stuck with mouse and keyboard.
When I only had mouse and keyboard, I used Bombers, was so stupidly easy flying bombers with mouse and keyboard. Especially since Bombers get 3rd person via the Gunners.

So I’d suggest flying bombers for the time being.
(I bought the Ju288C just so I can use it in Sim and grind German air).

TLDR: Fly bombers in Air Sim if you don’t have Mouse and Keyboard. Really easy.

I’m gonna leave it at that so the Mods don’t get upset lol.

EC sim with air/ground/naval playable when?
They can seriously just dump it all in, maybe with ground/sea spawns reaaonably near AI ground/sea battles and then let the rest figure it out by themselves. Polish comes later.

If certain vehicles suck, well, thats EC sandbox style. Right now you can also fly B-17’s in top tier if you so please. You can also chose not to. Having it all in would be great for people that want to goof around in it.

Will be a lot easier with dynamic BR changes too. And it would breathe some life into certain vehicles that just don’t get representation, like the Vulcan or other strategic bombers, or one of my personally desired ships, the USS Hornet CV-12, who after retrofits would basically only be an anti-submarine helicopter carrier. Where else is the Hornet going to play? Lmao

I want this but without being forced to play all vehicle types. I just wanna fly.

i had made the executive decision to not look at the rumor roundup this season for obvious reasons but i was wondering if anyone knows if the dev will open again

We do not.
