Major Update “Hornet's Sting” — DEV Server Changelog (10.03.2025)

I cannot see any reports relating to a change that would remove that, so it should be considered a bug.

Hey Smin I was wondering if anything other than the premium Netz is planned for Israel this update? SPICE potentially?

Ive seen this question ignored like 3 times now on this sub.

Well it’s the same with me trying to get a date on the F/A-18 late. I am just taking it as they don’t have an answer.

Unfortunately like other nations in the past it may just be the premium vehicle…

You have to DM them a lot, sometimes the reason they refuse to answer is because its a model that never existed (cough cough)

Hey. The final contents of the major are still subject to change, but we dont have anything to announce in that regard right at this moment for Israeli ordinance.

i think i speak in the name of every ground player. no one likes the current traction sistem, regardless of the surface ur on the tank feels like it’s always slipping (wheels and tracks). the traction nerf from many years ago was bad and this is too. give back traction to tanks and block unwanted spots with rocks or redzones instead please =(

Please don’t. I’m not even a Senior nor a Community Manager and i get enough Messages as it is, i can only imagine what their inboxes look like… So i ask that you do not spam messages nor encourage others to do so. It won’t make things faster and more likely than not just make the recipient annoyed.

id understand not adding the manuever mode to every plane but labeling it not a bug is like throwing a genuine report in the trash which isnt okay

Hi smin
There was a big bug report on the merkava armor value that was accepted long time ago
What the situation with it?
Devs are on it?

I made a new report for the MLU. It can carry two EBGU24 as per the photo. In this configuration there is no laser pod but the bombs are guided by gps.

The issue becomes how to designate the GPS coordinates without a tpod. Might be possible via the map target system these days, but Im not sure you would achieve the level of accuracy needed to properly use them nor whether they would allow it.

They’ll probably maintain the requirement for the Tpod, preventing 2 from being taken.

So I guess the website from the Royal Air Force is fake right? Mach 1.8 is fake right? Just making a point here.

There are planes already with JDAMs which have no TGP, like the F-15C.

But it being also laser guided might make this an issue, as I’ve seen that in loadouts with LGBs without designator (sometimes loadouts are broken on the dev initially) the game gives you a laser designator anyways, which has full spherical coverage even (seen this on the F-111F when it was added). So it’d be a technical game issue preventing it rather, but I don’t know if the same issue applies to DMLGBs.

I don’t know if it’s fixed already, but if not, the F/A-18C late on the dev has a LJDAM loadout without TGP, so you could test if the same problem still exists.

Just like other JDAM bombs, the EBG24 could potentially be used without a pod. This configuration could be considered, as there is already an existing setup with three GBU-31s without a laser pod for the MLU. Many other aircraft also use JDAMs without pods.

In the game, the EBG24 has the following guidance: Laser + IOS + GNSS.

If a JDAM in the game, which uses GNSS, can be deployed without a pod, then it is reasonable to assume that the EBG24, which supports both laser and GPS guidance, could also function in a similar way.

Hu… my bad. Didnt realise they allowed that. figured it was a hard requirement. Even in the GR4 with a built in FLIR is required to take a tpod for its GPS guided weapons.

In that case, i’ll upvote that bug report and perhaps we can get 2x EGBU-24Bs on the GR4 too
