What was the reason? Just the typical bias?
The standard of supposedly having sources that they won’t show us, denying or doing nothing about every report saying they should be better, and very quickly implementing every one that states they should be worse.

So about a third of this update is just DoA? Sort of figured there was going to be a catch. The trailer did a fairly good job hyping it up and it looked like it was going to be a solid update for once. Good to see the “not” Russian company stick to the Russian bias tactic.
More like two thirds.

Well its honestly the whole thing really. Im not one of the seven people who play naval and I have no desire to grind Japan. Was trying to be kind.
I have a question, ehen will the live update happen? For all consoles and pc? For the leviathans update.
Next week would be the soonest I would expect
We’ll see. If the aircraft (especially Mirage and Tiger) get the proper armament, they may be very good, actually…
It’s Swiss. Everything is very expensive here, in this WT is actually very authentic…

What day will the update come out?
They don’t know
Just like anyone else
First the dev server has to end before the update releases and it doesn’t seem that it is going to be closed before Friday
I am really hoping the dev server closes ASAP and they just get on with the live update.
I am tired of waiting to be able to grind all this stuff.
Plus the dev server changes aren’t exciting enough to want to grind over the existing live server grinding obligations.

It is closed, as anounced about half an hour or so ago…
Still, in my eyes a lot of open questions, expecially for example still uncoreected armament of Swiss aircraft. Also, another plane was mentioned to be added to dev yesterday, but never actually was added. So I wonder if not another Dev server may follow later on…
I’d rather have them test and optimize longer than go live with too many bugs and errors…

Yes but somehow every time the dev servers follow this pattern.
First patch, basically nothing works, sometimes stuff causes crashes.
First few patches, stuff is brought to a less broken state, things somewhat work.
All the rest of the patches, nothing is brought to live server level of quality, dev server closes with nobody having played a live server quality vehicle.
Live drops, everything is at the quality you would expect from a public test server instead of an internal QA build.

I highly doubt anything major changes from this version of the dev to live.
Gaijin is clearly adding the swiss aircraft to fit at specific BRs in the German tree. The proposed armament changes in the suggestions I saw would likely mean an increase in br for most of the swiss aircraft.

Well, if they targeted specific BR’s they should have modelled the actual aircraft variants at that BR’s, so no upgraded Mirage and Tiger that would require more advanced missiles and a higher BR…
Atm it’s what I call Frankenstein-aircraft, with late-service modifications and early service armament.
I wasn’t talking about the quality of the vehicles, but rather the fact that the two domestic Swiss planes both are premiums and the copy paste is TT.
There are no domestic Swiss vehicles coming to the actual TT, similar to the Hungarian subtree, which also failed to introduce domestic Hungarian planes to the TT.

I mean is that really suprising? half the high tier vehicles are frankenstein vehicles.
However I wouldn’t mind them getting their appropriate missiles and appropriate BRs (except for AIM-120 for the premium 18C(early), that is never going to happen):
- F-5E gets 9P-5 and moves to 11.3
- Mirage IIIS gets P-5 and moves to 11.0
- F/A-18C(early) receives 9P-5s and moves to 13.0 (it was already better than the US 18C(early) even without this missile lol).
Similar example of aircraft in an upgraded version carrying weapons of the original version?
- F-5E would have to go to at least 11.7, 12.0 more likely as it has the most advanced radar of any F-5E (which IRL it never had…), and IRCCM missiles if it gets the 9P-5.
- MIRO with 9P-5 should be 11.7, maybe 11.3 if it only would get 9P-4
- Hornet: ok
As to tech tree vs. premium/pack, well, that’s always something that may annoy people, and not at all exclusive to those Swiss aircraft. I personally find that unique aircraft as pack/premium is perfectly ok, underlining their uniqueness. So for me perfectly ok to have C-36 and P-16 as premiums/packs, for example.
The second “group” of packs/premiums are of course the grinders, so basically +/- tech tree equivalents, maybe with a few minor changes, but realyl intended to allow players to grind.
What are you talking about?
Hunter Mk.58, P-16, Mirage IIIS, F-5E F-18C (Late) are swiss domestic vehicles. GJ could not copy and paste it, because of Swiss modifications. There is no other Mirage with a TARAN-18 Radar in any other TT. There is no Hunter with Mavericks, RWR and TV in cockpit. The Tiger F-5E has a unique radar and cockpit. No copy&paste either. And lastly we don’t know what the F-18C )Late) will be like, because it was left till today in raw format, unfinished. Maybe we see another DEV Server before release.
