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

AWACS, Tankers and Cargo aircraft as new Air Sim AI targets would be awesome. Would also enjoy splitting current objectivers into different types.

For example the recon plane sometimes being a drone at 5000 ft and other times being a recon aircraft like a Harrier or something at 20k ft. Maybe even sometimes being something higher still at 40k ft.

There is so much they could do with the current 5? or so objective types in War Thunder with assets that already exist.

The issue is, “the future” can sometimes mean within the next few weeks/months OR it can mean within the next 2-3 years OR it can sometimes just mean never.

I assume it wont be the last one, but it could be anywhere from next week to 2 or 3 years time and in the meantime, the vehicle is barely usable.

If there was any new news on a subject of that sort of scope, we would announce it somewhere quite visable. Not here :)

(This is me trying to get to a better more covered spot, and might i add going sideways on hills tends to give vehicles better traction…)
You want feedback okay, give it 20 missiles in the ammo box reduce the reload to 5 seconds 15 seconds to reload with an ace crew is outrageous when you have the least range and worst amount of ammo and you need to wait for the missile to be ready even once they are on the rack. Give the vehicle far better traction and at least it can move forward. It may not be able to turn but getting over basic hills would be tolerable.

@Clap6005-live have you not scene any of my clips, this vehicle needs far more than its mobility fixed but in no way should i be stuck with only 4 missiles and then need to go to a cap point to get ammo when the mobility is this bad, if it was somewhat decent then i wouldn’t complain nearly as much but it has no benefits.

Honestly would be cool atleast if they released some of the assets used in these videos as user models on WT Live. Atleast then these models won’t be sat collecting dust for years.

Yeah… It is a shame

@Smin1080p_WT sorry to bother you but do you know or could you ask if the devs would be open to releasing some of the assets used in the Moments of Valor videos like the A400M as user models on WT Live so they can be used in custom missions / the mission editor? Would be a great to use them for ourselves since more than likely the assets like these would just be collecting dust never to be seen again.

This isn’t a feedback topic. Its the next major rumor roundup:

Lets please avoid further off topic here.

Most of the models used are only purely for cinematic purposes. Thus both their quality and licensing reflects that generally. Some sadly may not be possible or in a state for public release.

So at the moment, there are not any plans too. But its worth leaving feedback in the Moments of Valour topics on it, so we can pass it along.

Damn that’s a shame, thanks for answering though

I know it’s in a laughable state atm.

It’s currently being hindered by the trailer.
Basically the front part is a “tank” and the trailer is just dead weight atm causing excess friction and hindering it from turning when it articulates.

Apparently Gaijin can’t add power transmission to the trailer even if they could I doubt it would fix its turning problems as it needs regenerative steering to function properly

Never tought about it but how does licensing in WT work?

Do the devs have to get a license to add the systems into the game?

Naturally many of the vehicles may require them. It also depends on the source of the model.

It needs to be removed and replaced with a different SPAA, its clearly not ready for the Live server and never will be. Sweden has access to nearly 7 different systems gaijin could add from its allies and domestic tree.

Sweden-

RBS 23 Bamse

IRIS-T SLM (would be the easiest C&P but id prefer something unique i will highlight the unique options.)

Finland-

Buk M1

Norway-

NOMADS (basically Elde but different chassis)

SLAMRAAM

NASAM HML

Denmark-

Mowag Piranha skyranger

If the Elde cant function in this game engine it should simply be replaced.

Cant wait for an German Moments of Valor, I could see some A7V → 2A7V supported by Tornado (maybe an ASSTA3.1 or even SLE)/Eurofighter and Eurocopter

SLM too :P

Technically yes but id rather like to let Germany keep their spaa as its something unique to them and sweden has other options, dont get me wrong id love SLM but id rather something more unique even if its worse than SLM

I’d much rather it be removed and Sweden waits until the september or october update when the other remaining nations get their new AAs, nations which deserve them more than Sweden ground as these nations have actually suffered at top tier ground for a while (unlike Sweden top tier ground).

Hopefully*

Without bringing in Bedish Swias as you’re doing, i do agree. Id much rather see the vehicle be removed entirely and for Sweden to be a focus alongside all other nations that did not receive new spaa this patch. The Elde fails to do the most simple task required by SPAA at 12.0 and 1.0 and fails to be a competitive addition and thus no value is lost when the vehicle is removed.
