Meet the “Firebirds” Major Update!

Ok, yesterday was ok. Today i got 2 bugs.

  1. when I was flying M2K D R1, i coudln’t chaff/flare when I was going faster than 1 mach and had bombs attached. Too funny to be true :)
  2. during other match in the same airplane wile flying around 100m above water, the plane flying straight 1 390 Km/h IAS just on its own went nose down and crashed. Intrernet connection was perfect all the time.

And everyone, everywhere is complaining about the stat card being removed.

Anyone played the M41 yet? The mobility is worse than a Maus almost lmao. Can barely go up the hill. A bush will stop you dead. xD what the hell…
Edit: perhaps a winter specific thing. Grass mobility was fine. Weird.

Why is the new text/font for Artillery and other stuff right on top of the reticle? Can’t it be a little bit higher so it’s not in the way? Kinda annoying

So is that true like in that other WT forum post?

That this blur/fog like filter on every TAA and TSR and even this directx12 intel thing is caused by bloom which is now permanently turned on and cant be turned off?

My eyes feel very uncomfortable with that bloom thing, and i need TAA or TSR to get rid of flickering of fences and other things when i move, i am scout i really need to see everything.

So anyone knows if it is confirmed bug or does it stays like that forever?

First all: Thank you very much for not fiddling with joystick settings in this update. I mean the reset bug for xbox players is still there, but currently i have to adjust just 3 settings on my HOTAS profile each time i want to play wt…

But others (like in this bug report - see comments) are forced to invest 40 minutes each time before they can play wt. This requires a lot of passion…

In addition it would be great if you can say something about the changes implemented in Air RB - mainly the denial of enemy markers at further distances.

  • I mean with some luck you can benefit from that, but on cloudy and/or large maps it is almost impossible trying to keep teammates alive as you can’t make informed decisions.

  • I mean if two teammates get in danger you want to know which threat they face (number and type of enemies) in order to assess your chances of helping them - so is it realistic that you can help him before he is dead.

  • Currently you see just own players getting killed and you have zero clue when he was attacked, so if he got killed by a current attack or if he crashed minutes later…

A short response would be highly appreciated.

I think the same. This nerf to interface during battle is a big one and should be discussed and tested properly before introduction. I have some funny experiences now with M2K D R1 (no A2A radar). During matches, I can’t see enemies for 95% of the gameplay. I understand fully that’s the “Realistic” part of the game, but it’s somehow ruining the game experience a lot.

I noticed that if you want to change the FOV in the game, it doesn’t change until you restart the game. So at least it works this way.

Though aircraft periscopes are still nonfunctional with anything other than 0 value on the zoom.

PostFX sharpening no longer works. Big problem. Could be DX12 specific.

Are you guys plan in doing some follow ups on your road map? Are we going to get a new road map next year?

Any chance you guys plan on fixing the flare launching bug sometime soon? Kinda game breaking

If you’re on socials, no matter if its the forum, reddit or whatever, always remember that that’s a very small minority. Most people don’t care enough to get on any of those.

It also means people usually don’t care enough about something minor like a statcard visual change to make a big deal out of it, especially not enough to quit the game over it.

Plus, people tend to use “YOU WILL LOSE PLAYERS OVER THIS” and “I WILL QUIT THE GAME IF THIS ISNT CHANGED” as empty threats towards the devs to get what they want and then keep playing anyway. a very small percentage of those will actually quit over that.

Like, even back when the review bombing happened there were groups of people telling others to not play for a couple days, and even those groups themselves still played several hours daily anyway. Go figure.

Wrong, it’s the large amounts of people saying this across multiple social and non social platforms including In Game Chat, Discord, etc…you have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ve already stopped playing the game and moved on and know hundreds more…remember it’s all about MONEY. Gaijin will feel the financial hit from this and then beg us to come back but it will be too late.

Right, I’m sure the new players buying top tier packs en masse are devastated about not showing off their medals like an off brand Korean general. The upset is quite silly really…

You mean all the low rank new Asian hackers who will be banned anyway in 30-60 days?

“Muh Stats” are what I use to movitate MYSELF, not you or anyone else. No one cares about others’ stats anyway, but if I want to see it in game, I should be able to.

The fact that you said the entire continent of Asia is hacking just shows it’s not worth talking to you
