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

True. Considered mentioning it but wasn’t 100% sure if it still could use weapons, I hadn’t seen anything that said it can’t but I wanted to leave it out for in case I was wrong.

The only Finnish modified vehicle (No Stug, no T-34, no Pz.IV) and it is a premium. Stone that HQ ASAP.

Edit: Also there are two premium KV-1 variants for Finland, specifically implemented so that Sweden is denied a heavy tank

Actually we got one step closer to Block 30 but Gaijin is ignoring it. The US ADF could have stayed with Sparrows but it was equipped AIM-120s alongside the Italian one.

Equip with a renamed radar and better engines and have your Block 30.

Smin has stated the KV-1B would evalue the German players who got it which is why they won’t add it

Of course he won’t say what devs imply.

Not the same thing, the Merk 1A has only NVG no therm, and a worse round while also having a different exhaust model for some reason.

It technically is different as it’s an earlier model

Yes it is. If its not, there is always a chance something can be missed before the update.

No reporting it is a zero sum loss loss.

Russian vehicles generally have the same number of reports as any other nations vehicles. Naturally English language reports are going to be more numerous towards western tanks. But Russian reports also exist.

Unfortunately this is personal perception.

Community Bug Reporting System not to go on about the challenger to much but is this report going anywhere cause it would greatly improve OES sales (and vehicle performance)

Any updates to the report at this stage would be reflected in its status or comments.

New mechanics and features generally come first for Russians wherever applicable and then rolled out for the others later unfortunately. Aster-30 still doesn’t have PIF-PAF mechanism while the new Pantsir gets correctly configured the new proxy fuze system which still has not yet to be rolled out to any other vehicles likely because developers are relying on reports to come in to expand this system.

It still remains that it is routine for new mechanics or features comes to Russian equipment or vehicles initially before being expanded to others through bug reports. Russian vehicles may still get bug reports, that is true, but more often they do not need bug reports for certain features or mechanics as developers have already done the research on the Russian vehicles.

This disparity is a double-standard for developers treatments of vehicles unfortunately. Some vehicles need to be bug reported and wait for reports to be resolved after several years while Russian vehicles do not need to be bug reported for certain mechanisms and features at all as developers have configured them to have those features in the first place.

ill be back for more challenger buff questions one day but thanks Stwin

So during the development of the Dragoon, you’re telling me that every single person working on it missed the videos of it firing PABM? Or how about the fact that it is well documented that it is based on the flat bottom hull ICV (M1126), which is also well documented to have spall liners? The report for spall liners wouldn’t have been needed to begin with, if you guys had fixed the M1128 missing spall liners, which was reported 2 YEARS ago. I feel like I hardly ever see a vehicle receive missing content until it’s like, several years after its addition.

No, im telling you currently that:

A) Everything on the dev server is work in progress, NO vehicle is considered final

B) During this stage, whilst the devs work on the finalisation of vehicles, anything that can be seen on the the dev server to be “missing” should be reported anyway so it receives a response from the devs or is correctly picked up on and resolved

Not reporting things always has a chance that things can, inevitably unfortunately get missed. That is why, rather than keep posting about it / asking about it, we encourage a report be made so that there is a fully traceable and trackable public place for people to see its progress and/or dev response.

Guys, if you want to dicuss “bias”, balance and otherwise, please use the open longstanding topic [Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

Unfortunately there isn’t enough transparency in regards to where progress is on reports. For instance if we ask you what the status is on a report, it is usually one of two answers:

“Report remains open and is still being investigated”
Or
“Report is resolved and waiting on deployment”

There’s no in between. There isn’t explanation exactly on what else is missing in terms of research or investigation that could assist the report in being resolved.

Because there precisely is no in-between. Sadly we cannot give more detailed updates when there is no progress or updates to report on.

not that i dont agree but does smin and stona and all those people get a hard time like this all the time

yes
