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

Would be cool to include some volunteers players into balancing team, but people who play all nations and aren’t biased towards any or at least not as biased as naval developers.

What if I tell you that volunteering is one of the main issues of the bug report system being unable to forward fixes and documentation to developers in due time?

In theory, volunteering sounds wonderful as people do it on labor of love. In practice, their own motivations work as their revenue.

You must hire technically capable people with a proper payroll to bring arbitrary results.

Hi, @Smin1080p_WT What about the linear T-72B3A(12.3 br)
You forgot to lower the br to 12.0 for the T-72b3a tank.Linear b3 was reduced to 11.3, marathon b3a to 11.0, so why did b3a (linear) remain at 12.3?

Because it shouldn’t get anything new due to logical reasons “it’s the only one that doesn’t have all aspect missiles” is not an argument.
It has Fakur-90 which are somehow, somewhy better then Phoenix missiles, but whatever and that would be enough for F-14 IR

any real news on the patch yet?

I think the mig 29 being able to face early arhs while sporting a butcherd fm, 2 decent yet sarh missiles, and useless 4x r60ms is a crime against humanity and a masochists wet dream

Just give up, we had that exact “monitoring mig29 with these changes in mind” for the last how many years since the 29 was added?

Ok so you’re about to get blocked for obvious ragebait, but humor me for a second, how on earth is having a categorically worse missile than all it’s peers “not an argument”?

You’re also just incoherent for at a minimum 50% of what you have to say so I’m not sure how you even created your account without a prefrontal cortex. Much less engage in discussion.

It has other better missile and you want to make it even more imbalanced

It has the Aim-7 which is borderline trash and the Aim-54 Phoenix, one of the worst radar missiles in the entire game. Nice try bud. Continue eating my Phoenixes please people like you make my talisman worth it.

Aren’t your talking about IRAF F-14?
It has R-27 and Fakur-90, that’s quite enough for it.
Also it’s even too much for a jet, that is free given to too many people and for a jet that can be bought instantly in any level

Aces of Thunder has now finally released this morning.

So you pay for the game and then have to pay for more aircraftS ? Or am I missing something ?

Yeah it has VR support but dear god the stutters. Stutters worse than the Kings Speech.

Yeah in the game where they said “you just pay for the base game additional aircraft are grind free” they have now implemented DLC packs. You also need to grind for weapon options too I saw a loadout for bombs and rockets for the IL-2 require 50 kills.

I honestly don’t know why I ever thought that Gaijin could make VR properly. Suffers from all the same performance issues and rendering issues.

The hand controls are cool in concept but for the sake of the menu have been done poorly. Here’s me trying to change the cloud settings to medium for 25 seconds because instead of it being like other VR games where you point and then click you can only point but it cycles through all of the options at once.

Spoiler

The WW1 planes are awesome but suffer from very limited choice. Hopefully we get more of them at some point (+ add them to WT).

Spoiler

But also since there aren’t many players the lobbies are full of bots which still have the same issues as in War Thunder where they completely overperform.

Spoiler

Anytime a player gets behind an AI they go turbo mode and just pull vertical loops without any loss of speed and insane turning circles. They don’t do this when other AI are going for them only when a player does.

Overall I’d give it a 5/10. Cool in theory, poorly done, but the WW1 is still cool. If it wasn’t for the performance issues and them just not fixing the rendering issues from WT VR then I’d give it a higher score.

There is another VR WW1 flight game called Warplanes WW1 which while being more arcady does them a lot more justice. Has more options for planes, renders ground targets a lot better, has both multiplayer and single player missions.
