They seem pretty normal to me ))

Same thing, but I went back to CoH3 and BG3. Chally not very fun.

It isn’t even just chally, the teams you get with Britain being stuck with the yanks is just horrible.

Anyway.

To get back to the point. Too many top tier vehicles in the British Tree have game breaking bugs/issues that were reported well over a year ago. Not one has been addressed yet or even a comment stating they are being worked on.

Things like SHar HUDs or CR1/2 ready racks or BOL fixes

I wouldnt say no to them not adding a bunch of Soviet C&Ps from India and instead see things like this addressed. I would have quite happily taken some much needed and long overdue SHar and Tornado TLC over the F-111C for example.

Even with the coming Tornado Gr4. still no work on their radar systems and we have yet to see if things like BOL will be given to it.

Yeah, there is that as well

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

while we get that its still a shame for the UK to have 2 SPGs and neither of them were domestic options, compare that to Japan that has 2 domestic options, or China, it would just be nice to get our own domestic SPG for once, not to mention it should have the same crazy HE shell the japanese Type 99 has

I’d like them to honestly stop adding stuff for an update and unfuck minor nation kit. Leclercs, Arietes, Challies, Strv 103s (I want arguably my favourite tank to be good plz)

I think every nation would benefit from that except maybe the soviets.

I have been summoned.

Soviets technically have some underperforming armour. But we also don’t know what the armour is to update it.

As the name suggests, there 's six of these launchers on this map object:

There 's also two named radars:

No sign of the command post yet, and this doesn’t specify if the radars involved will be just the two added w/ the launcher originally a few months ago, or if one of them is the new Fan Song E which only recently appeared in this devserver.

Seems like static SAM sites might replace minibases, this is a similar file template to how those " dynbase " objects work.


Loading screens are going to be banger:

The two do not corrilate.

As we have already explained (im sure also ive answered you on this before) multiple HUDs for several aircraft of all nations across the board are WIP. HUDs and MFDs are all being updated (as you can see in this very update).

This has nothing to do with the addition of new vehicles, especially ground ones that that like the Osa. Separate teams handle those matters.

honestly letting people who are level 1 buy top br bracket premiums is such a terrible idea

That would be good, hopefully they’ll come to SIm, been too long sicne it got any TLC

Crying UK mains are worse than crying Frenchies on Plebbit at this point. :D
I mean 2 subtrees, competetive top tier planes. Fleshed out TT to make lineups at every bracket. Multiple vehicles being added every update. Not even USSR being treated that good as UK lately.

Japan and China have an entirely different set of SPGs available too them and they do not directly compare to the UK. The UK has more options possible for the future. Once again, the M109 was not “instead of” something else.

Any actual threat that isn’t just a gepard with the aim of Zeus would be nice.

But I do beleive the latest word on Phimat being added to the Tornado F3 wasnt “no” but rather “we are too busy working on other stuff so maybe in the future when we get a chance”.

If thats the case, then its a real shame the Tornado F3 is left essentially without effective chaff at top tier, because the devs are “busy working on other stuff”

The Gepards are fine, you get RWR pings from them. Its the SIDAM-25s that snipe you from 5km away with no warning is the problem

Maybe I phrased that wrong, I was more referring to the historical presance (In British service it participated in one major operation, desert storm, and most of its service life was overshadowed by Abbot), I’m happy with pretty much any addition in game.
