Thank you for bringing those issues to my attention.

Yes

And the reports for many RWR are up or will be up soon.

Viggen shows up as F-16 on RWRs, you will know it’s a Viggen/F-16-like vehicle coming at you.
All PD radars are still identified on at least AN/ALR-56 onward.
I have not checked AN/ALR-46 however, though it appears ALR-46 only got missile warning changes [not removed].

Oh Jesus I’m gonna have a stroke. I have no way to help with Gripen’s RWR but I can already tell the players are getting shafted with this “Make a report”.

So any chance at a dev response on this? Judging by the response of likes (14 and counting) it seems to be a major issue to us naval players. At what point, in any of these dev servers, will the concerns of naval players be addressed? It’s not even asking for something NEW, just to NOT implement something we were never asked about or asked FOR.

Looks like a good update so far.

What I like:

  • Graphical improvements. Love to see those. Hope a rework of trees and bushes are next as they are starting to look rather ancient.
  • Solid and varied selection of new vehicles and weapons. For me the highlights are: T77E1, F-15E/I, Object 140 (beautiful tank, preorderd for nostalgia’s sake), Su-34, Scimitar, PLZ05, Sabra, Dunkerque
  • Filling SPAA gaps
  • Continue adding new top rank battleships. Really hoped for Warspite instead of Repulse though.
  • More vehicles with detailed interiors, keep it coming
  • Freccia buff
  • New camouflages, always welcome
  • As always a great many changes improving realism

What I don’t like:

  • Leopards in French tree. Apart from being a detriment to the overall tree, this is the second update with only non-French vehicles added to the ground tree. It makes me feel it hinders addition of the much cooler domestic vehicles. Feels like a waste to me.
  • Same with Italy really, not many good domestic additions last updates apart from ships.
  • There could be more WWII content… also would love to see more 50’s and 60’s aircraft. Those periods feel neglected.

In general I don’t like how subtrees are evolving. I like a subtree like South Africa and to a lesser extent Finland as they have unique vehicles or don’t detract much from the character of a tree. But I don’t like Benelux at all so far. Yes, it’s good for line-ups but C&P Leopards and F-16’s in every tree with almost no unique vehicles is not the way to go imo. It only seems to get in the way of more interesting additions (of which the French have plenty) so far. Maybe it’s time to revise how subtrees work, there is a nice proposal on this forum that would improve things.

A message to the devs: we hear your silence on the by far most popular forum poll right now. The F-15E deserves the PW 229 engine. 88% of people, almost 1000 votes says so.

You have been giving this poll the silent treatment, you’re posting updates without addressing it. YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS. It is the largest complaint you have received and you have to say something about it.

Why can’t people care that much about non top tier stuff, it’s extremely annoying.

Why isn’t the largest complaint about the RWR changes, which affect a ton of planes instead of just a single plane.

You don’t even know lmao, the Flanker is 72 feet long and the B-17 is 74. That’s some real perspective.

the player’s opinions aren’t always the most balanced way to make the game

new gbu-54b will stay like gbu-38 or like new paveway 4 with capabilities to laser guide?

Give me mode 3 Brimstones 😜

why not 9?

So not only does Gripen not receive gbu 39s, on top of that they’re taking a hachet to the rwr for laughs?

Can’t access dev server. “Connection error: 81110013 Failed to load player profile”.

Okay I thought I was the only one having this problem. The MAWS on the new GR.4 kept crashing my dev client every time its triggered.

  1. Long await premium Viggen. First (inevitable) Rank 8 premium going to a minor/smaller nation instead of the big three. Big win.
  1. Of course the new Russian helicopter is getting an AESA radar that’s “broken” now but won’t stay that way for long.
  2. Patriot Missile system in trailer was just a trailer gimmick despite the Rolands guarding airfields are wildly ineffective these days and has been for a while now.
  3. No ARMs/HARMs yet.
  4. With how the F-15Es are being implemented in such Frankenstein manners, all the hype for F/A-18s is just gone. You would honestly just be better off playing DCS really if this is the way they’ll do it.
  5. Gaijin basically demanding they want classified documents in order to reverse the RWR nerfs.
