How did Gajiin manage to goof so hard with this hotfix? Try to pitch down manually with the AOA limiter off? Nope. Not unless you’re the Su-30 from what I’ve tested so far. (I know it’s not just me either because my friend is having the same issue.) So far tested in the Rafale, F-18C late, and J-10A. Also had it happen with the standard instructor in the J-8F but only once for now. The best part is that it was working fine until this hotfix update.
101% throttle doesn’t turn on the AB on the Rafale.
The Gripen in arcade sets your throttle to 105% when the afterburner runs out and you have to turn off the afterburner to get it above 105% again.
And I hope you like dusk/evening maps in RB because that’s going to be 70% of your battles at least for 13.0+
It’s fun trying to multipath over trees in the dark and not spotting planes until you’re <3km away from the enemy, right? (If you’re lucky. I’ve literally stared at unspotted people and have them not be spotted until they enter the absolute detection radius. It’s not a rare occurrence in night maps but that’s nothing new.)
These are just the bugs I’ve found after a couple of hours of playing. Feel free to add any bugs you’ve found that I haven’t yet.
This update is a joke. The amount of bugs they added is staggering. My personal favorites were the missiles looking like they’re flying off to Narnia when they’re actually tracking on launch day and the new Russian hover tech on the Su-33 with the cursed landing gear. Also loved the HORRIBLE server desync that existed on launch day and locking on to guys 4km away only for it the instantly lose lock regardless of aspect or altitude. Gajiin didn’t leave this update in the oven anywhere near long enough.
I see why they called it Hornet’s Sting. (HINT: It’s not because of the F/A-18)
