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

My bet is on the French M46 then. Literally checks those boxes.
Unless of course the trollface takes it into another league entirely lol

Well no need to look far since this issue was fixed for Soviet/Russian aircraft soon after “Alpha Strike” came out.

There is nothing new in this report to pass. The A-10C has the features it should have and there is a suggestion open for the F-16C to receive HMD/S features. The Devs are aware of it.

That’s the problem, developers said those features do not exist in-game now (tactical datalink). The report is talking about inconsistency.

This answer was given some time ago. As I said above, the issue of what the F-16C is missing is known and there is an open suggestion on it. Comments on the A-10C were already passed at the time. There is nothing not already known in this report to pass.

The dive bomber could be the A-36 used by RAF

So probably a french sbd?

I fear that one of us is misunderstanding something.

  1. The A-10C got its datalink IFF feature first before the F-16C.

  2. The F-16C then had datalink IFF feature reported for it.

  3. Developers responded that datalink IFF does not exist in-game (but this contradicts #1).

I completely understand that the F-16C has an open suggestion for datalink IFF for when tactical datalink arrives into the game, but this doesn’t answer why A-10C has datalink IFF when tactical datalink is not yet in the game.

Or is it a Thai SB2C?

There for sure is no misunderstanding.

The F-16C response was posted some months ago. At the time, the OP of the report raised this and it was already forwarded back to the Devs. The report is a suggestion and was not closed and the Devs have already been made aware it exists on the A-10C.

There is therefore no need of another new report for anything here.

That would be incredibly disappointing, and I hope it isn’t that.

However, I do wonder what the vehicle to break the camels back for the community being against copy+paste vehicles will be.

I see a lot of any C+P sentiment, and I doubt it will get better until gaijin stops adding more.

Brit tree tank
Soviet tree bomber

If Gaijin stop adding C&P there will just be a new group of dissidents that will be demanding C&P vehicles, it isn’t like the whole player base is against it, there are some for and some against, and with valid enough reasons on both sides, so Gaijin are just going to continue to do what they want, and C&P makes for easy filler vehicles and allows them to continue pumping out 40 vehicle updates 5 times a year which is what the community expect of them.

I mean C&P isn’t clearly defined in the first place.

Is there any specific reason why the APG-76 was denied in having MTI modes added?

In fact, the developer response was that the radar would not receive any further improvements.

Is there a specific explanation also for why a radar or aircraft would be refused in having any more improvements done to it?

For a long time, there’s been speculations that Gaijin refuses to action reports on certain vehicles in order to ensure those vehicles suit certain battle-ratings, but we never had such confirmation.

Here’s the reports I was referencing:

Soviet pershing? I dont play the US or soviet so i dont care, but not really neccessary though the object 248 is already mid enough

Regarding these reports, there appears to have been some discrepancies with the test, RCS specified and and modes spesifed. So no changes could be made as a result of these reports.

We have in fact confirmed the opposite multiple times.

I guess the plane is SB2C-5 either Thai or Marina Militare.

Could you go into detail? What were the discrepancies? Was something wrong with the source itself?

I’m speaking in specific reference to the missing MTI modes which are modeled on aircrafts in-game. I’m curious why “no further improvement” will be done in that regard.

This is not relivant to the topic and hand and I would prepferaby not like to trigger an off topic radar sprial.

The developer comment was as follows:

2m^2 RCS is not specified, 5m^2 RCS is used. Notch width for airborne target tracking mode is not specified, there is actuall no notch in A-Atracking mode, but in WT all MPRF radars have it.*

If you have further information that was not provided in these reports and wish too, please feel free to make a new report. These reports were concluded over a year ago.
