Major Update “Leviathans” — DEV Server Changelog (16.06.2025) - dev server is closed

Dev Server "Leviathans" Dev Server Changelog
931

New lines added:

Sweden

  • F/A-18C MLU 2 (Finland)
  • Saab F-35 (Squadron Vehicle)

Japan

  • UH-1B — detailed damage model has been added
  • Kh-29 (all variants) — a limitation on missile launch at 1.01M has been added. Source: «Авиационная управляемая ракета класса «воздух-поверхность» Х-29» МАИ.
  • Tiger UHT — the targeting optics zoom has been changed from 3.7x-92.1x to 9.2x-131.5x. Sources: Sagem Défense Sécurité - OSIRIS, Sagem Défense Sécurité - Gyrostabilization, Military Helicopter handbook 2008 Page 90.
  • The mechanics of fire spreading inside the barbettes has been updated. The fire in the barbette (elevator fire) can still start because of a shell exploding inside it or spread from the main caliber turret being on fire. Previously the fire in the barbette originated in the center of the elevator and grew in size spreading equally up and down eventually resulting in the whole elevator being on fire. Now the fire can originate from any point of the elevator. So if the fire spread from the turret to the elevator, it will spread from the very top of the elevator to the very bottom to it, giving the player more time to react, however, if the shell hit the bottom of the elevator, the fire will start there giving the player little to no time for to react. The “Ammo Wetting” modification still works: it reduces the chances of detonation when the magazine receives fire damage. The probability of detonation is checked constantly while the fire affects the module. This fire spreading mechanic works only for the big crewed elevators of main caliber turrets. Other elevators that lack rooms and personnel can not be set on fire and don’t conduct the fire through themselves.
  • The indication of fires on the player’s ship has been added to the damage panel (in the bottom-left). The fire icon appears where the fire has started, just like in the hit camera.
  • New camouflages that can be purchased with Golden Eagles for Coastal fleet vessels for all nations have been added.
  • Striker, Scimitar, Fox — these have received their own characteristic engine sounds.

None of them will reach 4 km unless u are ultra fast and up relatively high or is firing down. Really in real situations R73 and PL5E has around 3km and AAM/PL8 has 4.

Still better than gatewidth by far. Should still be best IR missile in game.

933

i wouldn’t put too much stock on statcard values, going by the missile sheet python 5 has a dV of ~1200m/s

934

OMG F-35!!! Cant wait to launch aim120C-7 from across the map undetectable by the enemy

935

I agree.

China would probably be my favourite MBT nation if not for these armor and survivability nerds…

Where are the spall liners!? They were so perfectly reported so long ago. There’s zero reason why it could possibly be taking so long other than being intentional.

This sounds great, I can’t wait to get home to test and check the current values!

But it really does sound great.

937

dV is used to describe how much energy the missile has and not its max speed

The max speed is what the stat card says

i agree I was just repeating the numbers the other guy was giving so he couldnt argue against them

939

launching a missile from a speed of 0 (ground launched) heavily reduces the max achievable speed and the range of a missile compared to launching the same missile from a moving platform (a plane going mach 1)

940

The Fox scimi and striker got new sounds, will they receive their corrected armour, mobility, or optics?

941

None of them will reach 4 km unless u are ultra fast and up relatively high or is firing down.

But all of them do. If you’re referring shooting at an enemy that’s flying away at ~650 knots, then you might be correct. But then you have to clarify. All of these missles generally easily reach 10km or more.

DEv Server closing tomorrow and we have not seen neither premium swiss hornet nor the regular swiss hornet …

943

Does the F-35 have all of its textures, ordnance etc on dev now or is it still a WIP?

944

Probably not. I really dont understand why features aren’t delayed until they’ve implemented them across all affected vehicles. Its the same with the turret baskets. What vehicles are getting them this update? Gaijin said more were coming so where are they?

946

yes WIP

947

Do hope this report on the falcon gets actioned soon, It’d be an even greater insult to actually have the missile the aircraft was designed for and not have it on it but actually is in game now

948

is this a buff or a nerf for battle ships?

949

i think it depends on where the fire starts. if the fire starts above the middle of the elevator, its an improvement. if the fire starts below the middle of the elevator, youre worse off then before.
either way still a bad change and they should go back to pre april fools fire mechanics

Judging from the current progress, I think the official server will be postponed until early July

951

or like gaijin fashion they rush it and left it to dead
Just look at stuff last update
