AAM-4B is not dual pulse, its literally just a AAM-4 with AESA
same motor
Let me know when either of those foreign operators become US sub trees
US doesn’t own F-16V, they have F-16C PoBIT which is the same thing anyway
Viper G then, USAF is showing interest in that iirc

F15 from saudi trust
I don’t trust Gaijin to add them to the USA EX ever since they tried to pull that stunt with the F-15E/F-15I
I just mentioned that above
it got fixed so I do have hope that USA mains we carry the bug reports

A collection of the more interesting statements made by BVVD during the “Eagles Shadow” dev stream
Aviation
- NE sim, maybe in future, but not soon
- New NE map (Vulcan Valley) and a new hidden map. Another location with lots of AI boats
– will feature improved boat AI with better SPAA
– Not ready yet
– No map bans for now - 50s NE is heavily delayed (top tier NE is more popular)
– BVVD wants a “deeper” experience for current NE BRs - NE long range radars will now spot and mark enemies on the map
- Weather system rework
– New nimbus clouds with lightning
– Unlikely to be added to random battles due to reduced visibility
– Some weather conditions will be limited to BRs (most locked to top tier) - Not sure if night mode for air is needed since markers exist
– Might add more weather options for dawn and dusk where it is almost night
– Balancing issues due to blinding effect when sun is low - New missile smoke
- New wing vapor / LERX vortices effects
– Depends on local humidity - Bomber DM will take more damage from fuel tank fires, if the fire is big enough
- IR missiles will now target the engines on bombers
- Different cluster munition types - HE or HEAT
- All nations will get cluster munitions on one or multiple planes
- New feature being teased for the Fulmar but it is not ready yet
– “The smart ones will guess what I wanted to show, its just not ready now” - New feature, when locking enemy tanks it now locks the module u were looking at
– E.g.: Driver hatch, commander hatch, roof, engine etc.
– Will be a available for MITL as well - F-15EX might get more than 12 missiles, but forced to 12 ARH only, others IR
- F-15IA is the better variant due to MAW
– “MAWS offered for export and not for domestic planes” - Secret French plane which is not ready yet
Ground vehicles
- Not all stuff (mobility reworks) will be added this patch
- Gas turbine engines power delivery rework (T-80 / Abrams better low speed torque)
- New dust, mud, etc. textures and logic, corresponding to vehicle geometry (soon snow as well)
– When shooting dust gets blow off and snow melts around the exhaust - Break lights cannot be destroyed
- DM63 is not much better than DM53 pen wise (might be added)
- Question about Object 640 “Black Eagle” tank
→ → We aren’t sure it was a battle ready tank - Question about remote controlled tanks
→ → We are thinking about it, but early ones were quite limited without the ability to look from perspective of the controlled tank. It was mostly engineering tanks or flame throwers.
Naval
- Submarines are almost ready and will be available in random battles
– There will be a test after the update releases
– They will maybe come in the December update - Vehicle stats are mostly realistic aside from the sink speed (high in both NAB and NRB)
- Subs are mostly invisible and can only be spotted by special instruments
- They take brain to play
– Gameplay centers around remaining unseen and unheard
– Minigame to search for and find enemies
– Find right frequency to calculate the right torpedo trajectory
– Running aground makes a lot of noise (no damage from collision)
– Below ~70m depth you can’t be found
– When at periscope depth you can be shot at by boats
– Near explosions can kill you - More torpedo types are planned for future updates
- New indicator for torpedo turrets (similar to the gun turret ones)
– traverse and reload indication
Misc
- “We have no intention to apply the dynamic BR system on every vehicle in game, especially for mid\low”
– Done to avoid adding multiple variants of the same vehicle
– Will apply it to vehicles where there is a huge difference in capabilities (e.g.: J-22M1A with 4 different BRs)
– Might be added to ground vehicles as well - Shadow, lighting, tree and horizon rework
– More seamless horizon
– Tree graphic setting for air will be separate from ground
– Dovbleg about this soon™ - Dynamic weather system is being considered for some game modes
– Not very good for competitive gameplay
– Can be very disbalancing - Another new game mode will be added this year
- Some “hidden feature” will be added to the dev and announced sometime later
- No comment on the Korean TT
- No comment on FNF Heli for Sweden (haven’t found one yet / come up with one yet)
Please refer to the WT Snail Mine discord for the original translations made by digod, Tovarish_Shura and Lamoan.

IR missile kinematics reworked? or just seeker adjustment?
There goes technical compatibility
Night air battles should only come when fighters get their lights

I wonder what stuff is coming that we haven’t seen yet, its looking awesome already!
Just wondering, were the CBU-97 SFW or CBU-105 SFW shown in either of the dev streams? I didn’t see it in there. All I saw was the CBU-87 CEM
what about their favorite compatibility
yea like so many stuff we have now were ready
