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

On modern fighters they are fixed. Convergence is normally used if the ammo effects the trajectory of center mounted convergent guns. Since the nose is below the Pilot on the F18’s hud it was aimed up to help since you dont need to pull the nose as much to be able to get your gun on target while allowing the pilot to have a better view of their rounds trajectory. From the fews times ive been over with our F16s ive never seen them adjust the angle, i could always ask my buds when they are off work but convergence nowadays should basically be stuck as we dint have a need for convergence since most guns are already set with the determined angle for optimized aiming like the gun on the F16 and F15.

If the F15 and F16 weren’t angled youd have to aim the plane at an angle to hit most targets ahead of you.

Ah well, then the incorrect elevation should definitely be fixed

Man, i cant wait for this next update. Its surely will be one of those “subsequent updates” that will put the “Hungarian” into the Hungarian aviation subtree. It will be so fun to use the Nimrod and its HEAT grenade, oh and also the ME210 with its 40mm, surely next update wont be a premium jet/C&P jet/top tier jet update…oh and did I mention jets?

Now there is no discussion if the F-22 is still good. All we need is F-47 and nothing and i mean nothing will be able to beat it.

Oh yeah! I cannot wait to see it flying. Will be almost unbeatable.

It won’t be almost it will be Undefeatable. Think of the F-22 barely anything can beat that and this is just better

If I had to guess it could be becuase of 2 contracts.
Like the F-16 and F15. Maybe we will see lockheed come out with a different aircraft with different capabilities

Aren’t lockheed still on that F/A-XX for the US Navy?
That could be why.

Swiss f-18 i can guess

The website for Aces of Thunder has been updated:

We’ve already been told that WW1 aircraft and tanks won’t come to WT, so the four Great War aircraft that have been devblogged there so far( plus any other that appear later ) likely won’t be coming here.

However, the WW2 aircraft that Aces shares w/ WT might see some changes here - they might have their visual models reworked to a higher fidelity since they’ll be viewed from closer than before, similar to how tanks shared w/ Enlisted have gotten visual overhauls as of late.
