There’s too many side grades, for all gaijin’s faults generally they not to add to many similar things at once, unless they’re line up padding that is,
e.g. FV432 30 is literally the same turret and vibe as the Namer 30, Leo 1A6 VT-2 is a slightly more armoured 1A1A1 L/44, AMX-10PAC is a mars 15 AMX-10P hybrid, etc
Yeah… that has to be one of the most stupid decisions they’ve ever made
like it cant be that hard to add the flames to the other aircraft
Not even that much. Realistically speaking, that is a novelty, but not really the main functionality.
Sure, only add the flames to the F-111s to begin with, but why not add fuel dumping to everything else (and I mean every single other aircraft in game that had it) and then just add the aesthetics of the fuel dump mechanic over the following major updates piece-meal like they;ve done for fuel tanks.
It would have been an incredibly useful mechanic in aircraft like the Harriers (and basically anything else that does carrier landings at a bare minimum)
it would also enable you to take more fuel
and if you have to dogfight you can just dump some of it to get lighter
Yep, and with no limit, it would have allowed heavy fighters to dump down to below 30%.
But half the reason I take fuel tanks is for a psuedo fuel dump mechanic
Also as a whole the mechanic is just…why? Of all the things they could have added Fuel dumping really shouldn’t have been one of them. Or at least its relatively low on the ladder for mechanics that could be added.

I Dont entirely agree with that. It is a core mechanic of aircraft, that many have been asking for, for years and is a critical mechanic for some aircraft. But they priorotised the flames over the actual mechanic, that was bottom of the ladder
I’ll post my predictions in a “build your own update format,” curious to see what people think is likely or what they’d prefer.

3.New air battles exclusive mechanic, pick one (submit your own)
4.Rank VIII pack premium for Russia, pick one
- MiG-29K
- MiG-31
- Su-37
5.New Airframe, pick two
- Super Hornet
- BAe Hawk
- F-CK-1
- F-106
6.New vehicle class, pick one (three nations will get one vehicle of the chosen class)
- Submarines
- Carriers
- Strategic Bombers
- Jet interceptors
- Self-propelled mortars
7.Pre-1945 air or ground vehicle, pick 2, one must be a copy-paste (Submit your own)
8.Subtree, pick one
- Norway air for Sweden
- Thai ground for Japan
- Swiss ground for Germany
9.Three WW2-era bluewater vessels, one must be a rank VII battleship, one must be a premium (submit your own)

I hope for some cool props like the C-3604 again, it’s so sad to see the last of the BF 109 developments not in game the Spanish Tripala and the Buchon you could add at least 4 variants : (
Merlin engine 109 with hispanos made in 1950’s, fever dream of an airplane

Not just Merlins my boy but HS 12Z-17 engines too hence K in the K1L’s
K = HS 12Z-17 engine
M = Merlins
@quartas121 Btw the HA-1109 the first prototype had the HS 12Z-17 engine and 2x 12.7mm wing pods
2 Likes
which 12.7mm? .50 or 12.7x108
I still need to find the K2L as sources say they changed from wing pods to above the engine but I can’t find any pictures of that
Im hoping Air Sim map given its been 3 years.
Falkland Island
ASMs to everyone (given the sea skimming code, they must be working on something for them.) If not CBUs.
Hopefully. Its about 2-3 years overdue at this point and is a solid addition for higher tier
Im guessing sooner rather than later. THe fact the latest event frigate has loads of depth charges is… interesting.
Im still holding out for a Mosqutio Light bomber (no gun but the same bomb load as a B-17), has been a viable addition since the introduction of split BRs. 2.0 ish for ARB but 5.0 for GRB.
Im guessing Thai Ground.
HMS King George V (might be rank VIII)
(Premium Rank VII for at least 2 nations. Im guessing for Britian that will be HMS Royal Oak (R-Class) or HMS Nelson)
A County-Class Destroyer like HMS Devonshire would be perfect. Its not a battleship which we’ve gotten a lot of recently and it would add a reasonable SAM destroyer that has a perfectly reasonable N2N loadout with the same firepower as multiple of our current destroyers.
I dont know my coastal stuff all that well, but a Type 21/22 wouldnt go amiss

They are definetly long overdue
