Gaijin where’s my Sopwith Camel, Fokker Dr.1, and other WW1 planes at? (And don’t just say in Aces of Thunder it’s been delayed for a year now and we still don’t have a release date let alone a release window)

400ft tall skin but 800ft tall and 600ft wide hitboxes get to a point, especially when i can stack two su27s nose to tail and still be shorter than the tree

Last year’s Q&A said they’re not sure how they want to implement missile ships yet. It definitely seems like we’ll get submarines first.

Since we have a couple ships with AA missiles, I assume they mean anti-ship missiles.

not enough missile based ship/boats, play sea power and you’ll know what i mean :)

Can’t wait for the Moskva (Slava Classed Missile Cruiser) i’m British but i love soviet war machines i don’t know what it is about them XD

I almost hope these missile ships never come, hahah.

I can already see Bismarcks being one-hit killed by some Tomahawk from an Arleigh Burke.

No Not you Spanish, i thought you of all people would have love the introduction of these…

Of course the BR spread would need to be done! to prevent what your describing :)

Imho, they should split the TT at that point so they don’t go against each other in battle, its like F-14 going against Zeros’ lol Cough The Final Countdown Cough Cough.

Ah, yes! If they are completely and really separate, then I think it could be lovely.

I wonder how they would make missile controls to be entertaining so matches don’t consist of just spawning in, clicking to launch missiles, getting kills and dying, though!

Unfortunately, seeing Ground WW2 BRs invaded by ATGMs, modern HE slinging SPGs and HEATFS makes me feel rather pessimistic about it.

Britain, as part of the Commonwealth, naturally has a larger share of vehicles within its market, and that fact alone gives it a stronger presence. While I agree that other nations should receive greater investment and resources, it’s important to consider the situation from a business perspective.

If the majority of revenue is concentrated in the top three or four nations, companies will inevitably prioritize those markets first. This ensures a steady flow of income to sustain sales, pay staff and shareholders, and support the next 12 months of internal plans and roadmaps.

Additionally, this approach isn’t just about immediate profit, it’s about long-term stability. By focusing on the strongest markets, businesses can secure the financial foundation needed to expand into emerging regions later.

It may feel unbalanced in the short term, but from a strategic standpoint, prioritizing high-value nations is what enables growth, innovation, and eventually broader accessibility across the Commonwealth and beyond.

Tbh I’m half expecting gajin to add ents that randomly detonate nearby vehicles for the laughs

i dont think they should be completely seperate.

To begin with, the map size would need to be expanded significantly, at least tenfold to properly accommodate the scale and complexity of modern engagements. This enlarged environment would allow for deeper strategic play, particularly when focusing on new mechanics surrounding missile deployment and advanced counter-countermeasures (ECCM/CCM) - Which more of a modern Surface platform has, in its arsenal.

By introducing these systems, the gameplay naturally evolves to highlight the importance of naval aircraft and helicopter operations, bringing them to the forefront as critical assets (Anti Ship missiles, Missile Launched Torpedoes etc)

Such an expansion not only enhances the tactical depth but also opens the door to integrating layered defense networks, long-range strike capabilities, and electronic warfare scenarios. (like AWACS / Growlers and ASW tactics)

Mig29m is a sidegrade as its more of a a2a focused version of the smt. The mig 35 is 100% not a sidgrade. 1. it would actually get a targeting pod. 2. It would/should get access to better missiles, like r77-1, and kh38. and those are just the ones we have in game, there’s obviously better fox 2’s that are compatible with the Mig35. 3. It would get a PESA/AESA radar depending on what the snail decides on going with. The mig35 is just a much newer airframe than the 29smt, and as a result its got better weapons and avionics across the board. Though it probably wouldn’t fly any better than the smt, probably worse due to being heavier with the same engines.
