Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Trust me, do it regularly.

I’d not opened my laptop up for a good 3 years, and jesus wept it was hideous. I took some photos and it was just fluff that was black like coal soot.
I got myself the most unprofessional of cleaning tools for the cooling fans (toothpicks) but dear christ it sounds much happier now. Runs noticeably better too, and doesn’t heat up nearly as much, or as quickly.

Clearing the fans unprofessionally helps no end, but a quick sweep of hardware will never go amiss. Gives a nice opportunity to air any bits and bobs too.

You have a 3080, but only a 750W PSU?

I use dry air spray (dont remember the eng name).

Most people just call it spray duster or duster spray

Wouldn’t the Floréal-class be a good top-of-the-line vehicle for the French coastal then?

Floréal-class:

  • 100 mm gun
  • two 20mm’s
  • exocet launchers (inoperable in WT ofc for now, but were also removed later, so might not need to be modeled)
  • Helicopter platform

Or the D’Estienne d’Orves-class, which is more like the other frigates/small destroyers we have at ‘top’-tier coastal right now.

Lieutenant de vaisseau Lavallée - D'Estienne d'Orves-class:

  • 100 mm gun
  • 2 x 20mm’s
  • exocet launchers (inoperable in WT ofc for now)
  • 4 x L3 or L5 type torpedoes in four fixed catapults
  • option of a twin Mistral launcher
  • option of a rocket launcher

Or a Belgian one with the French 100mm as a secondary option (after a french one is added first of course!): Wielingen-class

F 912 BNS Wandelaar

  • 1 x Creusot-Loire 100mm gun
  • 1 x Mk-29 launcher for 8 x RIM-7 Sea Sparrow SAM
  • 4 x MM38 Exocet SSM launcher
  • 1 x Bofors M/50 375mm multiple ASW rocket launcher
  • 2 x ECAN L5 Mod.4 533mm (21”) torpedo tubes

But french naval is definitely not complete! There are so many more frigates that can be added.

Dunno everyone of them but yeah they looks cool as end of the line for coastal.

I would also like the Jeanne d’Arc 2.0, transformed as heli carrier, 4x100mm and 6 Exocet launcher, nice punch for a little heli carrier

Résumé

Once again not a lack of choice, ending with the La Combattante in wich Gaijin didn’t even give SS12 but just SS11 that are way more bad, it’s sad. Dunno how a ship like that can be 4.0 when things like koln are 4.3.

Also really want the 2 meme vehicle like the sherman barge and the boat with FL10 turret.

If the Brits can get the barge with the 57mm turret, then the french can get a meme LCS as well XD

And if the Russian can have so many boat with their tank turret on it, where are mine ?! :D

And of course little eyes on the cruiser i want the most, the Colbert C611, wich could pass the USS Atlanta for an amateur :p


10x2 57mm AA
8x2 127mm

Later variant got Exocet alongside other weaponry.

Don’t rule out a game-related issue after the update… I’ve seen many people in Latin American forums complaining about a drastic increase in CPU temperature. This may have damaged your power supply.

Oh wow imagine gaijin atcually making game breaking updates, I know it’s not funny as these can cost a bomb but this issue needs to be shorted and fast. As gaijin could end up in legal trouble iirc.

F-16 being worse aerodynamic in some aspect is expected and something I’ve already accepted, but aim9x being worse on top of generally worse flight models could be a bit of an issue. 1 solution could be US getting early AESA like the an apg 63v2 to account for worse wvr performance. But ig we will have to see how it is.

Hopefully they don’t make US irrelevant at top tier, and hopefully they don’t fumble eft

I feel like they would simply have to change their recommendations for hardware to evade any trouble

I reckon they’ll just mitigate the Typhoon/Rafale by giving everyone else better ARH and leaving Typhoon/Rafale with what we’ve already got in game .

For now, I imagine they’ll come with what we’ve got already for now. But in the future. Not a lot can really be done. Except lean even harder into BVR combat

That’s also quite likely

Also, Im expectng AESA this year and I dont think it will be as big of an upgrade as most think it will be.

Maps are too small for major benefit from it and ARH ignore the launch aircraft when they go active at hte moment, so it wont make AMRAAM or any other ARH any more effective than they are already. We already have very fast scan rate mechanical radars like the Foxhunter. So wont be a major upgrade over those either.

They’ll be good, but not game breakingly good I think

They will definitely be much more nice to use, especially in sim, I don’t know a huge amount about AESA but there’s definitely more than just faster scan rates, better range and being able to lock multiple targets

Sensor advantage is why f14 is so good

I think there is more unique stuff than you might think

Go have a look at that link ^ especially the “RAAF series 2” and “RAAF” series 3 section and see for yourself.

Why does it use comic sans?

No comic sans but the lack of SSL certification os probably worse 😂

I don’t think Typhoons and Rafales are going to be much better than what we have with how Gaijin does flight models. I’m even concerned even the F-2 won’t be much better than the F-16C and could even be worse if they just copy/paste the F-16C and add weight.
