Hello, @Smin1080p_WT ! Sorry for asking you, but I asked in general and no one is replying to me, hahah. And, after all, no one will be able to reply as you would;
Do you know whether the developers happen to be working with regenerative steering or general modern MBT mobility?
I believe I notice smoother turns and lower speed drops in turns on the Dev Server! But it could also be the frame-generation that may be fooling me, and me being really tired today, so it could be placebo/hallucination, hahah.
So if you could confirm it for me, I would be grateful!
Thank you! I came back to work a biiiit too early, but… I needed the capital and wanted to help out my boss, who is a sweetheart and was having trouble, hahah. I’ll manage!
Anyway- gonna keep taking a look at today’s Dev update! I am hopeful about next week’s Abrams-related news.
a recent report regarding the MiG-21 2000’s cockpit accuracy has been denied despite presenting multiple archived sources from IAI, the creators of the IAI MiG-21 2000 modernization program. https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/o6HikRxXJKPu
The developers replied with two images and said it was Not a Bug, citing one image from Elbit systems with a caption claiming a popular image of the cockpit was just a mockup, and another image they claim is the real cockpit:
They did not cite the source of the “real” cockpit image, which is where confusion from myself and others stem from.
We have visual imagery directly showing the cockpit was not a mockup, but a integrated and working system installed within the aircraft, as shown in these videos which were provided in the bug report:
Important Frames:
Video Links are found within the bug report if needed.
It may have been a mockup at some point, but video and pictorial evidence suggests this was not always the case, and it possibly never even was a mockup to begin with. The image caption is either relating to an earlier image of an actual mockup, or is wrong.
May we know have the source from the cockpit image provided so we can trace it and review it ourselves, and can we know why the promotional videos and images from the manufacturer of the modernization program aren’t being prioritized? Thanks in advance!
What is the intention behind prioritizing detailed modules only for Western tanks like the Abrams, when they don’t even model the lower turret basket for Soviet tank turret drives, nor do they implement things like FCS or APUs at all? War Thunder is clearly a game. Do the developers not know where to draw the line when it comes to module implementation?
Plus, with too many modules added, repairing takes forever. I think they need to change the repair mechanics, or at least let the equipment be partially operable when it gets hit and damaged.
To make a correction, while Soviet MBTs also had an FCS, as far as I know, they didn’t have mechanics where the NVD gets disabled, like you see with the FCS on the Abrams’ gun mantlet.
