Major Update “Storm Warning” — DEV Server Changelog (10.12.2024)

[J_ackal]

They are open to using literal toilet paper when it comes to nerfing something. Forget the USSR air at this point, they probably can’t milk it anymore. Now the EFT vs Rafale will be just like the f16 vs mig29 were, you can already tell by the trailer just like last time, emphasis is put at the EFT (f16 last time). Watch it overperform for months in the live

I’ve seen nothing regarding further testing of raytracing on non-Nvidea cards and can’t select Raytracing features on the test server with my AMD card.

Are there any plans of continuing the test of Raytracing on non-AMD cards, or is now just internal work nessesary?

The death of an AI attacker now takes away victory points only if it was destroyed by a player. Death by anti-aircraft guns, crashing into the ground or being shot down by a bot does not affect victory points anymore.

F I N A L L Y
It was so annoying seeing the tickets drop for seemingly no reason because a attacker swarm on the other end of the battle decided to all suicide bomb into a single howitzer target.

@Stona_WT

A separate mechanic for punishing an attack on an allied nuclear-armed aircraft has been added. When any damage is inflicted on such an aircraft, the player is awarded penalty points in the amount necessary to disconnect them from the current game session. The awarded penalty points will not only lead to an immediate disconnection from the session, but will also be used in calculating the need for longer-term automatic bans.

Great to see more being done about the team killing problem, Cant wait for all the “I got ban for no reason!!!” posts everywhere.

Once again, almost every single situation the nuke has been tk’d was not accidental.

Well, you said it yourself, almost every one. That means there still were some accidents.

@_ShadowFang_

If a teammate didn’t take care of the enemy that is now too close to me, they are already too late, just let me die.

So, that enemy crippled/severely damage the nuke carrier, now what? Do you expect people to now just ignore that enemy because it still is in the general vicinity of the nuke carrier that is considered as alive by the game, but for all intents and purposes dead?

If I can hit people as a relative noob to full-real controls in furballs without also hitting my friendlies, everyone can.

[Crimson_Hound]

No ww2 Thai camos or planes for Japan :(

It’s been a while since we got something for lower tier aircraft :(

[CaptKaMeLRo]

Can we use right-click to set the bombing point on the map instead? It’s a bit slow to use this currently.

I’d love to see that.

Also, anyone checked if setting point of interest actually sets seekers, TGP’s and CCRP points there?

[Cpt_Bel_V]

Ain’t like US recieved 2 jets last update, one which dominates the Top-tier games.

[CaptKaMeLRo]

yes, but we need to click at bottom right again if we want to change the point of interest and then select on the map

I said almost because I can’t guarantee it never happened, but I am willing to guess the instance of it being an actual accident are less than 1%. This does not negate why this is being done, so cherrypicking won’t help your argument.

Or just… don’t shoot near the nuke carrier? You’re trying to argue for people be negligent. It’s already obvious you ignored them (the enemy) before the nuke carrier anyway.

Soooo… Sholef v1 will get the missing stuff in like the next 3 to 10 updates… (or about 2 to 3 years)

[thethrill820]

Was hoping to see the Chinese M36 changed to the proper variant of M36B2, maybe a few more years.

Air Realistic and Air Arcade Battles:

• Tickets for ground vehicles are deducted from the team only if the vehicle is destroyed by a player. If the ground vehicle is destroyed by bots, victory points are not deducted.
• AI attackers (that appear 4 minutes into the session) now prefer to attack tanks (leaving easier targets for players) rather than attacking everything indiscriminately as before.
• The death of an AI attacker now takes away victory points only if it was destroyed by a player. Death by anti-aircraft guns, crashing into the ground or being shot down by a bot does not affect victory points anymore.

The Fighter mafia wins again. Attackers and Bombers nerfed once more.

The only thing that gave non-Fighters a win condition was triggering the A.I ticket bleed that came 15 minutes later.

Very cool change, glad to see it coming.

@Stona_WT

PUMA VJTF — the driver’s night sight has been changed to a GEN 2 thermal imager. (Report ).

Is this going from Gen 3 to Gen 2…?
No fix for the tracks exploding when being hit in the turret?

[Nicolaser]

Meteor is part of F3R upgrade

[noamax]

It will come when israel will get top tier spaa so like in 3 years🥲

[AlvisWisla]

Which doesn’t matter because Meteor’s intended targets [F-35s] aren’t in the game.
You can have Rafale vs F-35s in the future when they’re added.

[gapst]

Please give us more map bans. Number of maps is increasing and we are still have only 1 ban with premium account. I think there should be 3 bans aviable - one as a default, second with premium account and third with battlepass activated (for example).

[Nicolaser]

Meteor were never developed to engage f35 specifically it was more intended to engage high value target : tankers and awacs
