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

Sadly yes

Stupid decision though, even if not adding for all aircraft some should still get it like the Harrier GR7 or the A-10C, maybe even the Tornado GR4 too.

The game can’t really handle dynamic gun limits, so they pick the lesser of two evils when modelling stuff that enters that territory, either not making cosmetic things move, or letting the player shoot through non-cosmetic things. For example with the CTWV RCV the player can shoot through the CITV mast. With the T86 the snorkel/exhaust is purely cosmetic, so the “best” solution in this case is just not extending it.

RCV shooting through it's own CITV when extended

They also broke aim9x high off bore shots. they did something with the PID guidance which cooked it.

Yeah…

Unfortuantely. The only light at the end of the tunnel is the recent SEAD event could be added to ASB and them apparently working on an RB EC like gamemode which might then get the attention needed for ASB.

In the meantime.

Yeah… Shooting down F-86 sabres in the Typhoon is just sad

That would be the alleged dual-plane maneuverability.

Also if you want landmass air SB: Afghan; the best ASB map IMO, and people are just playing Denmark instead…

Then we could at least get the 0 guidance delay. That in itself would be quite a decent WVR buff

Its about getting new maps. Doesnt matter if its Falklands or a Pyrenees map or whatever. I think 1 new map every 1 to 1.5 years for ASB isnt an unreasonable request. (especially as, if done right, could be used for other gamemodes as well) Its fast approaching 3 years since our last map. Rocky Canyon

Falklands could have been the first of actually larger maps. Ideally we need 300km x 200km for the full thing. But even just 180 x 180 would have been a great start and that would have probably enough land mass for multiple AFs (and therefore can be added to ASB) and still have room for at least 1 carrier a side. They dont exactly need to be far apart, just look at Tunisia, Port Stanley and Sicliy

Made a bug report for LITENING A-A functionality (should just be the same as the F-14B TISEO or how Sniper is on the F-2A where the camera slaves to the radar) which it should have since the new TGP MFD screen says it’s using A-A mode.

[DEV] LITENING TGP Missing Air-Air functionality

Doubtful about this one though since:
  1. The devs seem to forget this exists sometimes (was broken on many aircraft for ages and still is with the Typhoons not having this ability with the PIRATE camera even though one of the main points of PIRATE is for passive/visual target ID.)

2-1. Actual official documents are, to quote the War Thunder Twitter account “it’s sort of turbo-illegal” to use since they are not publicly available, only sources are either from the Rafael or Northrup Grumman websites with brochures and videos but they can be funny with these for bug reports a lot of times.

2-2. Best look at how LITENING A-A mode works is from DCS which obviously isn’t a usable source (but honestly with the lack of legal official documents we should be able to use accurate models such as those in DCS for certain things such as this.

Someone actually leak document of C-5 flight performance(its performance) im pretty sure(TheKnightZero?) close it down and said “breached the guidelines” and close it
not sure if he deleted it
i saw it tho, havent look into it yet, im gonna dig back and see whats that about
not that im gonna leak it bcuz im not sure if its declassified either

Sadly the Aim120C existed and unlike a certain Kh missile Gaijin can’t just make up values for it…

They definitely can if all relevant information on it is still classified.

Once again a common sense approach is required…We are dealing with systems that are in service and again a NATO (Jet, Missile, Tank, SAM or even Boat) is being purposely held back to not upset the Russians who are using their current in service missile!

Okay I gotta ask: Why does Soyuz gets the best reload (which according to gaijin is a soft stat/balance stat) of 8.7 BBs when it’s already arguably the best?

Its soviet. The soviets of course were known for their amazing navy.

Soviets families were killed if they didn’t hit those reload targets…

whats a real shame is that British 15" and 16" guns should reload 5 seconds faster than they do currently and its been thoroughly reported, But so far the response has been “they are fine, they dont need a buff”. Would have been really nice on Vanguard to finally get that 25 second reload to set it apart from the Hood. Its really hard to justify playing 8.0 over the 7.7s at the moment

Any word on the silent engines fix? It’s been MONTHS!

not even on the aircraft of the people that made it. doesnt make sense at all.

Yes, common sense of guessing up the values.

Glad to see this fixed!!

what? This is unacceptable. Giving American tech to other countries and not even considering it this update?!!! Not to say that the AIM-120C-5 is so popo that they plan to add the C-7. Also, when are we going to adress the whole plethora of bug reports for American jets??
