Meet the “Storm Warning” Major Update!

If it wasn’t for the trashy “if x was hIStOriCAl” series, or that annoying tone being in his other videos I wouldn’t be so upset at his content.

People can have a positive attitude, and give accurate statements, with great critiques.
I am just so tired of people ranting over things when they could be: “Yeah, this is wrong. It upsets me a bit.” Rather than yelling that the house should burn down just cause they spotted a spider.

Weird update… just don’t think there’s enough overpriced premiums

Feedback:
Kinda strange update
Air

  • it looks interesting in terms of high tier air additions, such birds as Eurofighter and Rafale are added + Thai subtree, which despite doesn’t have a lot of uniqueness, still adds more options for Japanese tech tree, especially for GRB (as CAS);
  • no props additions (some nations are still missing a lot interwar/WW2 era additions, want my Caproni planes);

Ground

  • Howitzers are fun, but imo they are kinda misplaced, for example Pzh2000 looks weird at 7.7 and it isn’t like it can’t go higher, especially considering its reload time is longer for balance purposes;
  • A lot of copypaste, well I don’t mind it, but with the amount of C&P we are getting each update, there should be an option to skip grinding for the same vehicle multiple times, like you’ve researched Hungarian T-72M1, now you can also buy the same tank in Finnish and German tech trees (after you buy other vehicles in respective lines of course);
  • Multiple vehicles pack, well I’m ok with idea of such reskins, but a presence of single AA prototype (which doesn’t even have a photo confirmation of its existence afaik) twice in the TT is meh, what is the point of that politics regarding unfinished designs then? Can we see P43 or 44M TAS? Or the same ship in different TTs (Giulio Cesare, Duca d’Aosta, Regina Maria and etc)?
  • finally Chinese T-26s have proper models, wish other copypaste vehicles get more differences;

Naval

  • not much to say, only playing Italian Navy, so I’m happy to see unique RN Ghibli, hopefully it won’t suck too much, still don’t know what respawn it gets;
  • not sure if Germany needed that canceled Ersatz Yorck ship though.

would it kill the devs to give ground forces some leeway from the cas?

Gebt der Rafale ihre richtige bewaffnungs Anzahl.
Es kann nicht sein das der Typhoon seine bekommt und die Rafale nicht.

Auch die Anzahl der AASM und GBU49 ist Falsch aber der Typhoon hat seine 18 Brimstone

You are looking at the wrong Rafale variant.
You can be happy already gajin was so nice to give you the HMD that never was in french service with thar version.

Besides that doesnt even look like a reliable source

and SU-33 missing all surface guided munitions meanwhile someone still complains about how rafale dont have enough guided bombs

147

That implies people researching things quicker, so being less prone to spend hundreds on a pay-to-win. Next question.

Wow what a rushed update and it shows.

This is still untouched since its release, meanwhile it has been accepted but nothing has been done, please fix that.

second the incosistency on ho the vehicles are presented in the tech trees.

Placement of Strela and its requirements

Strela and Osa are of the same BR for realistic and simulator battles and they do not differ that much. Plus in Italian and UK TT they are in bracket.

Plus the requirement for research is different

Germany (350k RP)
image

USSR (300k RP)
image

UK (175k RP)

Italy (175k RP)

CV 90 MK Iv and Namer Tsrikohn are no rank 8 vehicles

There is no justification for them to be in rank 8. Their BR is 11 or bellow its counter parts like PUMA/PUMA VJTF or Lynx are of same BRs and are in rank 7. Even HSTLV with 11.7 is rank 7.

Tornado IDS should be rank 7 nd A-10A should move after A7 and into bracket with 10C

Tornado IDS ASST 1, Tornado IDS MFG, Tornado GR.1, Tornado IDS (1995) are no top tier fighter aircraft. As its Br is of 11.7 and 11.3 it makes sense to be put into rank 7 instead of 8.

Other counter parts like SU-24M or A-10C are in rank 7.

While I am at A-10C I believe A-10A Late should be moved after A7 and folded into brackets with A-10A Late

I wont mention obvious and previously stated.

Please fix this inconsistencies

I really don’t understand why there is so much real estate either side of our profiles. Surely you can let us select other things for the side panels, or even three of the same (such as three favourite vehicles)

They literally just have. Giving Strela to UK and others is the equivalent of a no fly zone for CAS.

@gromvoiny where are the new Packs for PlayStation?
The BMD-4M is allready aviable m, but the RDF and Two Fronts pack are still not there

Hello.

Research point cost can be different per nation, as it’s based on that particular nations RP requirements and the number of vehicles that they have both at that rank and in that line.

As such, this is not incorrect for them to have different RP requirements.

Thank you for the report. We will be taking a look at this.

You know the update is rushed when Gaijin drops the developer blog of the HQ-17 after the actual update lmao.

Devblogs have occurred after updates for years.

Why Italian 100-mm Minizini cannons still have different RoF on Italian and Soviet vessels? Another Italian one, RN Ghibli, has been added with lowered RoF, compared to same cannons in Soviet service.
There are differences in documents, but isn’t RoF a balance factor or Soviet ships have that worse statistics?

156

It isn’t a frequent thing and do you honestly believe this update isn’t rushed? I absolutely love it when my Eurofighter turns into a literal submarine!
