I don’t have the dev server, I’m too busy currently to justify taking the time to explore it myself. Hence why I’m wondering if others have tried it out and can share their experiences.
happy to inform you, so far so good, though its still frame gen so it will come with the usual issues
I definelty need to give it a proper go when it hits live. DX12 kills my frame rate for some reason. So I am hoping that Frame gen might allow it to run a lot mroe smoothly
just use dx11 then, doesnt really make a difference if youre not gonna use rt anyways
It’s not necessarily the gunner though. It can also loft and use data-link from another source (often an Orion drone), to do all the terminal guidance.
More importantly, it’s the same class of missiles we’re all talking about anyways.
Possible, that or a drone, like I mentioned above.
Spoiler
in case anyone cares enough, id love to hear some good and objectively wrong opinions
Which is what I normally do. but there are a few settings in DX12 which i’ve heard is handy for helping with things like MFD sharpness
Yk, I’m kinda disappointed with the British three-tank pack, on the surface it appears to be themed around Operation Overlord and the D-Day landings, but is largely not good picks imo.
Firstly you have the A30 Avenger, a largely post war development (in fact the project was canned in 1950), a bit weird historically no? (for those that don’t know Avenger was an improvement programme for A30 Challenger, new turret and rolling in improvements on the Cromwell chassis that where fitted to the Comet).
Then you have the Firefly just isn’t a great pick for newbies, it’s got bad gun depression and isn’t the most nimble or stable, nor does it have great armour.
The SPAA is fine I guess, but the Crusader AA mk.2 isn’t anything special tbh, and the damage is lackluster.
The Camo netting isn’t super historical, should be much more colourful, probably just a dev server thing though, and more random in pattern.
Personally I would have done a Canadian, or South African pack, but if you wanted to keep it British there’s better options too. (Keeping to the same range as the other packs, 5.3 to 6.0. 4.7 isn’t a great BR in general).
Canadian (1944):
- Firefly with APDS (5.0)
- (Open to suggestions here tbh, maybe the QF Ram? Could also do Achillies with APDS. Captured German thing maybe?)
- Skink (5.3)
South African, Timeline is extremely fuzzy lmao:
- Comet (5.3)
- Not sure, Concept 3 with APDS or something maybe?
- Bosvark (5.3)
British (Late 1944/Early 1945):
- Comet (5.3)
- A30 Challenger with ADPS (5.3)
- Skink (5.3)
Or a British “Experimental testing” pack (End of WW2ish)
- Centurion Mk.1 (6.0)
- A30 Avenger with APDS (~5.3) / Black Prince (6.0)
- Skink (5.3)
why is my F-4E facing F-16 and F-18
what the hell
uptier
Well, just tried it on the Dev server. apparently my RX6700 XT doesnt meet the requirements for Frame Gen. Wont let me enable it
insane uptier then
What’s the difference between Paveway 3 and Gbu-24?
weird, pretty sure fsr3 should be available all the way down to the gtx 900s lmao
Actually. I think i mgiht have got it too work by resetting the graphics and putting them back. Wierd bug, but now have an option for it
Wow two Bismark blogs in one day lol.

How was this off topic, the blog was literally today about an addition to the game in the next update, I just find it amusing that two Bismark blog from two games dropped on the same day
TBH for the South African side, I would have been 100% fine with them going to the Ratels.
Premium…
Ratel 90
Ratel 20
throw in either the ystervark or the G6 Rhino (given its often used as a SPAA anyway).
A little higher in BR zone sure, but would have been more interesting still and rather unique.
new spaa derv log
get snailed nerd
Eh, I get the feeling these packs are more intended for low to mid skill players wanting to skip the interwar and early war grind, so the Ratels would be a bit much for a newbie imo. Though I’d love a premium Ratel 20 though, (I do always have fun with it, and personally I prefer premiums of something I already enjoy).
