@Smin1080p wrong video

Known thanks. Will be fixed.

There’s something funny about the fact that there are now so many T-80’s, even the devs/community managers start getting them confused.

[Yontzee]

Recommendations:

• F-16A Block 20 MLU - AIM-120A’s (As placeholder for AIM-120C’s), and AIM-9M’s/AIM-9P-4’s.
  • At least the 9M’s/P-4’s at the minimum.
• JH-7A - PL-12’s due to equipping them IRL and having the RADAR capability for them.
• Allowing full payload of 8x AIM-120’s/AAM-4’s for the new F-15’s unless dev’s specifically state this is held of for a specific reason and will be implemented in the future.
• Improve the F-15 Improved Baz by equipping it with the proper cockpit, and providing more indigenous weaponry for the aircraft considering it has a lot of ground and air ordnance missing.
• R-77’s and AIM-120(RB99)'s for listed respective aircraft (not all inclusive, just at the top of my head):
  • F-20 Tigershark
  • Su-39
  • MiG-21 Bison
  • JA37D Viggen
  • JAS39A Gripen
• AIM-9L/i for the ICE.
• AAM-3 for the F-4EJ Kai.
• 3BM60 for the T-80UE-1 considering it has the upgraded capability for it.
• JANUS for Freccia and other similar modules for other vehicles since new modules are being added. A vehicle module review.
• HOT-3’s for MEPHISTO (will never let this one down, especially since there are other vehicles [whether French or BeNeLux vehicles] that can fill its place as the MEPHISTO is slightly moved up in BR, making it comparable to AFT09.)
• AGM-114L’s for the Apache, we’re more than ready for it.

Where do I find the full list of dev server changes?

[Stona_WT]

Changelog updated - new entries marked with GREEN font.

[Apollo_1641]

Thanks 👍

[SPANISH_AVENGER]

@Stona_WT

• The ability to shoot off wheels for all wheeled vehicles has been added.
• New functional internal modules for armored vehicles have been added. These new types of modules do not require the Improved Parts modification module to repair them.
• Autoloader — destroying this module stops the ability to reload the gun, but the possibility of shooting ammunition already loaded into the barrel remains.
• Fire Control System (FCS) — destroying this module blocks subsystems linked to the FCS depending on the combat vehicle, such as rangefinders, night vision devices, LWRs and the gun stabilizer. The list of parts can be checked in the module tooltip in X-ray mode when hovering over the FCS module.
• Power system — damaging this module can cause a module fire and also stops the operation of associated systems such FCS, or the radar. The list of parts can be checked in the module tooltip in X-ray mode when hovering over the Power system module.
• Driver controls — damaging this module stops the possibility of driving and turning.
• Electronic equipment — damaging this module stops the possibility of using sensors such as IRST, LWR and radar.

This is very, very, veeery nice

As well as this:

@Stona_WT

An option to display the crew has been added to the Protection Analysis. To use it, go to the Armor > Protection Analysis section in the hangar. Select the camera angle on the ship and click the “Show crew distribution” button. The density of the crew will be projected on the ship’s hull. The green areas show the places where there are the least number of crew, and red areas where there are more.

[Apollo_1641]

Can anyone with access to dev server tell me if XM800T traverse speed has changed?

[rpsgc]

14º/s horizontal, 2.2º/s vertical – stock, no crew.

[Apollo_1641]

Ah, so still placeholder then (I hope xD)

Thanks!

[Cedvinvu]

It did get an increase in engine power, a stabilizer and the ability to swim though.

[Navy_Phantom]

@Stona_WT

New spalling parameters have been added for armor penetration using shaped charged warheads of aerial AGMs and ATGMs of a caliber of more than 170 mm. The amount of spalling, the spreading cones and the damage of individual shrapnel pieces has been increased. The change affects all variants of the following missiles with a shaped charge warhead: AGM-114, AKD-10, AGM-65, Ki-148 I-Go 1B.

Finally Hellfires and Mavericks getting fixed

[Navy_Phantom]

They did Germany dirty this update, Benelux sub tree going to France was mistake and they should’ve given the F-16AM to Germany, not France that already has competent jets that get’s the best Fox 3’s MICA’s

[Zaepheo]

The Desert Warrior is still missing it’s thermals. Even in the new dev blog it has 2nd gen thermals.

[Cpt_Bel_V]

@Psusennes : problem is :

Original design for Swiss airforces?
From all i can find on the internet, Switzerland never built in a single aircraft, even before WWII (they had Bf-109’s at that time)

[Psusennes]

Switzerland never did build, but modified them all to have more Swissness ;-)

[HeartBreaker6]

Still No AGM-114L disappointment

[Morvran]

@Stona_WT

External fuel tank additions:

• J-8B, J-8F, JH-7A, Jaguar A, Jaguar E, Jaguar GR.1, Jaguar GR.1A, Jaguar IS, F-5A, F-5C, F-5E (all variants), F-20

I really hope this list gets longer, wing tanks for F4s and drop tanks for the Harriers would be awesome this update. I also hope the IDSs get the Hinderburg tanks

[Dontkev]

Hinderburg?

[Morvran]

Spoiler

The 495 gallon tanks on the F3 Late. Their nickname was “Hindenburg tanks”
