Major Update “Seek & Destroy” — DEV Server Changelog (11.06.2024)

[Scoobissy]

Yeah. It says it can’t find profile after connecting for like 5 minutes.

[asd072]

How upgraded F-15J got “Kai”?
I’ve searched a lot of stuff about F-15J and it upgrades and never seen any mention of it upgrades called kai. I feel like variant is just completely made up from assumptions with 0 sources read by devs.

[milansoede]

Are python 4s for the F15c imrpoved baz being looked at?

[Bringer_Of_War]

dev server is extremely poor it took me 5 minutes to connect and it takes forever to get back to hangar whenever you test drive or play

[Fenrir2020]

I think too many people trying to connect at once

[SPANISH_AVENGER]

Why does Gaijin keep applying such blatant double standards to favour Russia and handicap America?

F-15C should get stock AIM-9M the same way SU-27, SU-27SM and MiG-29SMT get stock R-73; and the RP grind for AIM-120A and R-77 should be equal and not have a 24,000 RP difference. [doublestandards]

[x_Shini]

F4F Ice : “You guys get Aim -9Ms?” <.<

@GenOfGames07

Someone buy me the A-1a Amx, im not in my home state right now and can’t play dev so you might aswell buy me it.(40 hour drive but im here for 2 weeks)

How about you buy one for me ;)

[卡缇娅还想再躺九下]

The current J11A is just the old J11 + R77.
Can we get the complete form of J11A (N001V / New MFD / RWR /MWS ) when development is completed?

[CmdrVince]

I’m currently away from my computer: but can someone tell me how dodgeable the ARHs are? Currently grinding out the F-15 and F-16A, and neither exactly are fun stock… Is it worth it to just never play them again because ARHs will be impossible to avoid

[HoluhovskyCZ]

the SPO-15L is a new RWR? How much different is it from the SPO-15 and SPO-15LM?

Super Hellcat — the engine HP has been reduced from 460 HP to 400 HP. Source: Stuart A history of the American light tank by R.P. Hunnicutt (New Vanguard 097) M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer 1943-97 by Steven Zaloga/ (AFV Weapons Profile 26) - Hellcat, Long Tom and Priest

Literally none of the sources stated have any mention of the horsepower of the Super Hellcat.

Give us the actual reason why it was nerfed, will you?

• MiG-23 (all variants) — aerodynamics and wing polars at different wing sweep angle settings have been made closer to the real ones. The time of a steady turn has been made closer to the time graph of the steady turn from the technical documentation for the MiG-23ML (~27s at 50% sweep and ~34s at 100% sweep at 850-950 km/h at an altitude of 1 km with a weight of 12750 kg and 2xR-23 equipped).
• Su-17, Su-22 (all variants) — the normal acceleration of a steady turn in the intermediate and main positions of the wing has been made closer to values from the documentation. Additional wing settings have been added for 50% sweep angle for more accurate interpolation in intermediate wing positions.
• F-8E, F-8E(FN) — steady turn normal acceleration has been made closer (reduced by G ~0.5) to the values ​​​​in the flight manual.
• JA37C, JA37D, AJ37, AJS37 — steady turn normal acceleration has been made closer to values ​​​​in the flight manual (reduced from ~15.5 to ~14.2 °/s at 40% fuel, with no secondary weapons).
• J35 (all variants) — steady turn normal acceleration has been made closer to values in the flight manual (turn speed has been reduced to ~ 12 °/s at M0.9 at 10000 kg weight, with no secondary weapons).
• JAS39 (all variants) — steady turn speed has been reduced by ~1 °/s.
• MiG-21 (all variants) — steady turn normal acceleration has been reduced by G ~0.2.
• F-4J, F-4J(UK) — lift-induced drag of wing is set closer to aircraft with wing without slotted leading edge slats, steady turn normal acceleration reduced by G ~0.3.

man those are a lot of FM changes

[BleedingUranium]

Yak-3, Yak-3P — aircraft model has been updated.

Fokker G.IA

Spitfire FR Mk.XIVe

Haguro

Bering Sea

Always good to see updates. Excited for Haguro and the G.I, and it’s great to have a Mk XIV in a tech tree! :D

Another winter Naval map is very welcome. :)

 

Location and mission updates

Holy hell that’s a ton of map adjustments, across all three modes! Most of these sound positive too. :)

 

Pz.II C, Pz.II C (DAK), Pz.II C TD, Pz.II F, Pz.Sfl.Ic — the turret rotation speed has been increased from 14° to 25°.

20 mm Hispano SAP-I — the amount of explosives has been increased from 3 to 11.66 grams.

A5M4 (all variants), A6M2 (all variants), A6M3 (all variants), A7M (all variants), J2M2, J2M3, D3A1, D4Y (all variants) — engine Fire System has been added.

Yes! :3

Woah. :O

Definitely nice to have! :)

 

The complete blocking of ship control when the navigation bridge or conning tower is destroyed has been disabled — instead, a decrease in the controllability of the ship has been added until the repair of the bridge is completed.

That’s a big change, and I’m not sure I’m a fan. :/

[HoluhovskyCZ]

RideR2 was hard at work

[ghost_rider123]

“the tracks have been replaced with physical ones”
what does this mean?

[Ghostmaxi]

@Stona_WT

Pz.II C, Pz.II C (DAK), Pz.II C TD, Pz.II F, Pz.Sfl.Ic — the turret rotation speed has been increased from 14° to 25°. Sources: D651/9, Gerätebeschreibung und Bedienungsanleitung des Pz II Ausf. A bis C und F.

Dam should have written 30°/sec, basically its a Gearless free traverse, so you can go as fast as you are strong and fast enove. XD

Also super happy to see some other stuff also fixed, like the Sd.Kfz.222 armor and the armor of the Hängelafette of the 234/1 and 140/1.

[Ghostmaxi]

Its a better 3D model with real physics and not pre generated movement.
The old model is multiple (visibly) layers of textures with air inbetween. The new ones are REAL 3D models with correct volume and realistic interaction with the environment.

[Matias_Durg]

So, literally the only non-copy/paste ships are the two cold war ships (MPK and Bernau)? Well that’s trash. Only one new WW2 era plane (Fokker G.IA), and no WW2 era vehicles. So another trash update for us naval mains and lower-tier ground/air players. Sigh. What’s even the point in adding a French naval tree if all the new ships in it are just copy pastes from already existing French ships or from other nations?

And this:

Volcanic Island — boat spawns have been moved a little closer to the center of the map so that players can sail to the central area faster. The small islands in the center are a more natural shape now, higher and more varied in relation to point B. Some islands on the collision path between Bluewater fleet vehicles have been removed.

• Fuego islands — in both [Domination] missions some islands near the C points have been removed, and the remaining ones have been moved away from the map center. In the low-tier mission the spawn points of Bluewater fleet have been moved East so that straight paths from them to the C point form a more acute angle.
• South Kvarken — there were too many islands for Bluewater fleet vehicles. For boats, these islands were also large and there was too much space between the islands in the boat area. The southern part has been cleared of islands.
• Aleutian Islands — the islands blocking and preventing the passage of Bluewater fleet vehicles to point C have been removed. Boat spawns have been moved closer to points A and B respectively. Larger ship spawns have been moved further away from point C to make movement the movement path a little more parallel between the two teams.

Do we REALLY need to have even less cover on naval maps? One of the biggest on-going issues is the utter lack of cover for spawnpoints and coastal ships, not too much cover.

[Grantaire]

Guichen may be an italian copy pasta underneath, but in terms of armament she’s nothing like the Scipio Africano she once was. So its almost fair to say that France got its first genuinely ‘new’ ship :)
and HMS Queen Mary isnt mentioned in the notes but thats new too
