I did actually. The F-106 is turning out to be really cool.
Gonna be really sad when they move it to 9.7 (or higher), but I’m gonna enjoy it before that happens.

I mean the only unique things they mentioned so far is the T84 and Stingray soooo. We already know what SAMs the USSR, France and Italy are most likely getting. Britain we dont know but its probably CAMM. And we might be getting superhornet or some low tier ducth thing all of 2-3 people care about. So far nothing controversial really…

@gromvoiny Will we see more rank 8 air pack premiums?

Hey @Smin1080p_WT

In the latest dev letter it was mentioned that the radar screen will become interactive, and that you will be able to cycle through targets with the mouse cursor:

Does this mean that these keybinds will disappear?

I’m just asking this because, if they were to get removed, it would be very annoying to have to press ALT + Mouse cursor to cycle the targets on the radar, instead of having way faster keybinds set.

EDIT:

Quick example scenario:

  • With keybinds you can cycle through targets while using mouse aim to preemptively notch away while still being able to target enemies.

  • With mouse cursor only (ALT + Mouse movement) you can only use the cursor to cycle targets and can’t move the jet.

If we are getting a German battlecruiser this update, 99% we are getting its sister ship in an event

Except Seydlitz of course but I wonder why anyone would bother to model it in 2025

Praying for a dope Chinese 14.0 and delta dagger now! F14D would also go hard.

Saw on reddit, maybe those weird F-89 scorpions in the files are coming back

It could be, but that’s the A in the picture. All the Ds had the big camera nodule under the nose.
