Hi @Smin1080p_WT
I had a question concerning the mechanic of planes having both an internal camera and a TGP.
As of now, when equipping the TGP, you loose the ability to see through the onboard optic and those loose all the vertical coverage to lock on planes for exemple.

As answered in this report, it’s an intended mechanic, which I believe was added after the Harrier Gr7 having lots of bugs when both were available.

But now that the PiP was improved with the addition of the drone camera on the minimap, are there any intentions for the devs to try and add that mechanic back ?
For now, it’s not game breaking in the slightest, but for exemple, the rafale should be able to aim and fire all type of missiles passively at an airplane (IR missiles but also Fox 3 thanks to the IRST+rangefinder combo), while tracking ground target to deliver ground ordinance, and it’s not possible as of now

Pretty sure we only will be able to keep the ones that are listed multiple times,of which all are tanks, not planes

Edit: the H.P. 12 seems to be in the actual TT too, so maybe there is one plane that stays

Not for the foreseeable future as it created some technical issues. However it’s not ruled out entirely.

2089

I can play Battlefield 1 all over again LETS GOOOOOOO

2090

So, while it’s marked as Not a Bug, it’s it actually more of a suggestion until the technical issue can be fixed ?

2091

Yes yes holy yes haha

2092

The British tank could be fine, if it gets the proper gun. Not sure about the A7V tho lol

2093

While the fighters are not obtainable in this event, in the future you’ll be able to try them in our VR game, Aces of Thunder!

Please let this change. The SPAD S.XIII and the Fokker D.VII would be great to keep aswell.

I mean the H.P.12 is cool and all but the fighters would be great to keep too.

2094

Oh no it’s a zeppelin and not the bomber. The bomber would have been quite good with 2tons of bombs

2095

A Pz. II, M2 LT or BT-5 is still going to run circles around it while none of the ww1 tanks can do anything about it.

2096

Pilots can obtain the H.P.12:

The fighters will be available in Aces of Thunder.

So all the ww1 tanks are also event rewards that you can earn and keep?

pretty cool ngl.

2098

This event features a special difficulty mode where the mobility of the tanks has been improved relative to their real characteristics. The tanks that can be obtained in this event will have their historical speed and maneuverability when using them in regular Ground Realistic Battles.

It’s almost like WW1 vehicles would be too sluggish for most players lol

Imagine a T95 without any redeeming qualities of the T95.
