Hey Smin, the new loading screens found in the files look fantastic.

I’m so sorry to ask, but I was confused. The M55 Arty Loading Screen shows them in what appears to be the Gulf War with A-10s firing Mavericks. However, on the side of the image is also an F-100.

The F-100 and M55 are correct, both being in service at the same time, with the M55 being retired in 1969. However, A-10s didn’t enter service until 1976, and the Gulf War didn’t start until 1990, more than a 20-year gap.

I am more just confused if anything, unless I’m wrong about something or making a mistake. I apologize for making a ping to you about a datamine. But wouldn’t a Vietnam-style background make sense?

Hey. Some loading screens are more for cinematic / rule of cool purposes rather than recreations of a particular battle or time period.

None the less, we will forward your feedback and thoughts on the matter.

Heat for the heavies and APCBC for most lights and light MBTs.

Honestly the reload is what makes it look super fun. Hopefully it get’s the faster replenishing speed that was bug reported and accepted.

Less but better missiles, seems like a fine trade off.

exactly

Thanks for the response Smin.

Yeah, I totally get the rule of cool. I was just curious about the combination of two separate eras, so wanted to ask, even though all the loading screens look great regardless.

Thanks again though, I didn’t mean to bother.

Since we are talking loading screens here, I would like to have more diversity.

I don’t know exactly when loading screens were added into the customization list, but I think it’s more or less when rank VI was added for ground, so there’s a lot of late cold war/modern stuff and far less of the older vehicles (A striking exemple is the lack of Sherman tank while every tree has a least one :) ).
Coastal ships are also poorly represented; and I think low tier as well (for all kinds of vehicles).

Honestly, I am starting to have my doubts that Gaijin will actually give B-66 radar aimed guns, and not give it the mechanic under some BS technicality like how F-86F’s arent getting CCRP even tho LABS is functionally very similar and is already modelled on F-84F and F-100 and the 3 aircraft use the same exact ballistic computer system and gunsights

Dev server is now open!

Dare I ask what that is?

@Smin1080p_WT question: will we get more detailed vapor clouds and stuff in the future? at the moment we only have lerx vapors, it would be cool to have the effects appear on the rest of the fuselage as in reality or even in the way proposed cm covert disclosure from some time ago. Thanks for the reply in advance

Hey. Perhaps in the future, the feature may be expanded in that way. But no news on that right now.
