you know its looking bleak when people say this stuff

that’s true

this update has had very little surprises so far, the leak list was extremely on point and nothing new came during the Dev server that wasn’t already there which is the first time this happened iirc

There will be a squad of people spamming the F-5 key that got tie’d in a knot ;P

In my opinion, there’s a possibility that F-5E Tiger II & F-16A Block 20 MLU from ROCAF armed AIM-9P-4 and could get this major update

In the future AIDC F-CK-1A, F-CK-1A MLU & F-CK-1C access AIM-9P-4

To be fair to gaijin (and I can’t being to describe how painful that is) the new sensor view thingy is the most impressive thing in the patch. Not only is it great for understanding exactly what’s happening in the game but it will also be invaluable for reporting several bugs with A2A missiles that have been around for years. I can’t being to imagine how much of a nightmare codding that in has been considering the spaghetti code that’s running the game

isn’t that pretty much just a visualisation for what the server already calculates?

Oh yeah all the data was already there, the magic is that you can see it. It’s obvious how much of a shitshow adding it in has been when you look at the sub 10FPS people were getting on the dev server if there were more than 5 missiles in the air at any one time

A supposed naval map is yet to be shown

what do you mean? It shouldnt be weird to dream of famous historical figures.

No, I had that too. I reload it at times and it picks back up but becomes very laggy again not too much later.

Smin said there was a small surprise not yet shown.

Hopefully, it is not the Tank Rocket League they just announced another rerun of.

Unfortunately this isn’t correct, it still underperforms in all regimes. And would most certainly affect flight performance especially at low speeds. There is only 1 scenario which can’t be modelled, and that is for 45° sweep with manoeuvre flap. There is no need to artificially buff 45° sweep until that point, the effect of the slats is not significant enough to need that. The FM could be reworked and it would be a buff in all ways, eventually when the flaps are fixed it would be a nice little buff too.

A second sub-tree would have already been shown.

If there was anything with a new nation it be for a new tree. But it’s most likely a not-yet-shown vehicle.
