Major Update "Ninth Wave" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)


hey guys i have an idea! lets screw up the WS-10B even more at high altitudes which is the most played way of top tier air rb and give low altitude a pointless buff!! for both J-10C and J-15T

As far as I can tell the version we have on the dev server is the 2016 Centauro II prototype.

Images of 2016 version

Main differences between the 2016 and 2018 production version are few and quite subtle:

  • replacement of the four lateral Guardian H3 jammers with a new antenna system
  • new driver hatch for improved visibility
  • improved internals like for example better lithium batteries, etc
  • and most notably the Type B add-on armor kit, which can make it withstand up to 40mm AP.

All in all the version we have ingame is essentially the production version.

Please correct me if there is missinformation in this post

Also Centauro 2 has two different type of loading system iirc.

One is semi automatic which we have in game and the other one is fully automatic which can load any type of shell in 3-4 seconds.

So basically they decided to add earlier version with semi automatic loading system first if thats the case.

J-10C, J-15T worse at higher alts due to someone being incapable of making good engines ingame. 120D/PL-12A got new statcards but no changes to the actual missile, the MiG-29M is seemingly a squadron and the hornet got it’s IRST pod

Is this optional similar to the gun diameter or is it depending on the production year?

I’m not sure tbh, I don’t have extensive knowledge when it comes to Italian vehicles.

Ok; Ariete’s WIP armor model and modules is now present in all of them (except Certezza) and not just baseline Ariete!

Still clearly WIP, I maintain hopes.

We are getting autoloader, it’s just WIP.

Judging the dev server stream reload time was based on human loader.

You sure about that?

It was said in devstream

Oh I missed that part.

Well then its good for Centauro in this case.

okay I looked it up. The HITFACT Mk2 turret comes standard with an autoloader. The manual loading is more of a fallback in case of malfunction

That nice to hear that.

Not relying on human factor is always nice when it comes to reloading, especially if you have pretty quick loading time.

Yes, you can check X-ray and description + it’s been mentioned iirc on dev-stream.

I will once I’m done with my job.

Tho I have to finish grinding booker first before the changes happens so I might not be able to check dev server during these days.

Sad, no changes to the Schwerer Waffenträger :(

Is gaijin seriously going to C&P the J-11B/ OG J-15’s cockpit to the J-15T?

Atleast give it the correct HUD…

Man as always every time theses dev servers come around I’m actually enjoying the game being 4v4ish most of the time, sad to know that once this ends I have to go back to the dumb hell that is 16 jets with 8-12 missiles.

like being able to maintain Mach 1.6 in the 15c ge constantly even after fighting multiple players and defending is so enjoyable.
