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

Overall some good changes but one thing i would like to see in regards to the new Thai line is for the F-5A and F-5T to be foldered together.

It seems like a relatively decent patch thus far, though I have to say, I question the rationale for adding a Revenge-class Battleship to the Soviets before the UK. That said, Rodney is a pretty neat addition, only leaves the US lacking a ship with guns larger than 14"

I would like to see multipath reduced again.
After the June update reduced multipath, the game continues to function normally and most players routinely avoid radar-guided missiles by notching them.
However, even today, exploiting multipath is still very powerful in some terrains because it allows you to continue attacking even when attacked by the enemy in missile combat.
Flying below 60 meters is no longer so difficult with the addition of radar altimeters, as you will see in practice.
Please reduce it to make missile combat fair and fun.

Is there any chance of seeing an indian rafale in the UK tech tree at any point in the future?

iirc correctly, something something those sources are what was planned for the Typhoon and cant be used or soemthing.

But I do beleive there is better evidence for AMRAAM on the inner wing pylon, but Im not sure if its been reported yet. I was personally expecting a 4+6 fit for the Typhoon, not the 6+4 or 2+6 fit we have.

It will only make jets without SARH/ARH missiles nearly unplayable. No one wants to be a sitting duck for the whole match.

I’m not sure the amount of potential bugs has been assessed when adding new content. I’m almost certain they outsource some of the development to devs who have zero quality contril. The issues in the image are a perfect example

Feedback on the Italian additions:
‐ Kinda strange to see F-2000A in the line after F-16ADF, I think a better position would be after Tornado ADV.
Like here for example:

Spoiler


Theoretical full Italian Ground Forces tech tree

While please make Italian F-16ADF look like Italian F-16ADF, give it its AIM-120 and AIM-9M (or AIM-9L/I-1) as being asked by the Italian playerbase and br can be increased. There is no need to artificially nerf Italian F-16 and keep it at 12.7, if you need a filler in this line just add F-104S.ASA-M with its AIM-9L/I-1 missiles.

‐ Another disappointment is a lack of Italian Pzh2000, Italy is the second largest user of this SPH after Germany and also produced it under license, I hope we will see it in the future with Italian features like LWS and Vulcano shell. Hungarian premium looks nice though.

M44 and Strela-10M, I don’t mind copypaste, but… can you focus more on Italian and unique Hungarian/Romanian additions? Every update Italy mostly gets reused models of other nations and nothing ingenious (apart from joint ventures like Typhoon this time). The addition of something unique, such as AMX or Leopard 40/70, happens only once in a blue moon, there are so many cool stuff to add for this nation, but we continue to mostly get copypaste, only naval part somehow is slowly adding unique stuff to the tech tree each update (RN Ghibli this time, would be nice to see more of these large torpedo boats).
PS when will you stop to troll Italy with squadron vehicles? Squadron vehicles encourage people to start new TT and some nations having 5, but one still 0 is just ridiculous and unfair.

Other feedback:

  • overall I like to see Thai jets reinforcements for Japan, since I’m exactly at 9.x brs now (both ground and air) and haven’t touched any Alpha jets and F-5s before;
  • Chinese T-26 rework looks pretty cool, nice to see it finally changed;
  • Su-33, while I hate that another squadron vehicle gets added, but not to Italy, I still enjoy the addition of this plane, I’m on the way to Su-34, but grinding slowly, so maybe I’ll get this one first, absolutely love how it looks btw.

Still better than nothing. Other aircraft like Sea Harrier still have no lock marker at all… = )

Oh no, I know; I’m just saying it would have been nice to see them add Royal Sovereign in the RN TT as well, rather than just adding her to the Soviet tree. That said, I’m hoping they don’t just skip over the QE/R class and go right to the KGVs

Sadly I’m not feeling great about the update.

While it’s cool for European nations they get to be top dog in air for a while, for ground it’s a pretty miserable update so far. It’s clear the focus this year has been on air, but this update it’s especially evident.

Some things of note:

  • Endless copy paste of the new M44 and Strela does not equal quality additions for most nations involved. Especially where it gets in place of cooler, more unique or domestic vehicles. The M44 in Germany is really polluting the tech tree, as if the M109 next to Tigers and Panthers wasn’t bad enough. Just being able to add it does not mean you should, in order to preserve the identity and uniqueness of the tech tree. Not feeling great about more USSR tech in UK tree either to be honest.
  • The BMD-4M being premium is extremely disappointing. Back then (years ago) you promised a tech tree variant, this would have been the moment to do so. Especially as we’re now a full year (!) without a tech tree vehicle in the USSR tech tree that is not a premium or a SPAA. Where are the MBT’s, IFV’s and WW2 vehicles of which there are still plenty of? Please make the BMD a tech tree vehicle, give it APFSDS and put it at the top of the light line. This being the fourth premium addition in this tree (T-80UD, T-80UE-1, Obj 140) this year is crazy.
  • Once again an update for Italy ground without anything domestic. The subtree curse is real.
  • US air is looking barren so far, time for a WW2 or early CW addition?

Things I do like:

  • Pzh 2000 is cool, M44 (as an US tree addition, great model too), VBCI (finally a tech tree IFV for France), Namer Tsrikhon (more non MBT’s for Israel).
  • Rodney is looking awesome. Finally some real love for UK naval.
  • Just being able to test drive a Su-33 is lovely. Squadron vehicle means I can actually get a Su-27 (variant), one of my favourite planes.
  • Attica looks cool, hopefully it plays the part.

Overall disappointing though.

Some quick fixes:

  • Make BMD-4M a tech tree vehicle as promised (yes there are still other variants but it’s still sour), give it APFSDS
  • Preserve identity of tech trees by not copy pasting out of place stuff everywhere

Not a quick fix, but I still hope for some quality additions for ground. Preferably WW2 or early Cold War.

Yes it does; more is always better.

Just don’t play the things which don’t interest you.
