By gaijin?

Nvm thanks

Oh, this actually answers one of the questions I had!

So, apart from Ray Tracing and vapor effects, there will be more!!! YAY!

I wonder what else there is to add though

Oh I know their coming, just thought to share my excitement, plus had a busy few days with work

Why someone sure gaijin skipped USN F/A-18A in 1980’s ?

Or it might new premium pack rank 8 in the future ?

Early batch F/A-18C/D 1980’s radar, FLIR & laser designator pods, engine and armament like F/A-18A ?

Hopefully better afterburners, ones you can download are infinitely better

I’m curious to what planes will get them, I’m hoping that all top tier planes at a minimum

It will probably be a global thing like the vortices on the tip of the wing, who knows

One thing I wish they changed is the sound rounds make whenever they hit the ground. Current one sounds old and weird like hitting a bag of sand with a bat

Do you know anything about ray tracing or other graphic changes?

You can clearly see from these photos the OS2U Kingfisher livery was changed in Russian service…

Note the lack of the previously prominent fuselage star n bar.

Russian stars were added later

I doubt it will be global, as seen from images it’s already different between f16 and gripen. Shape, size and placement of vortices is greatly affected by aircraft geometry, I assume they made internal tools to add vortices easily to aircraft

When do you guys think the teaser will drop?

Hopefully, tomorrow; and the day after tomorrow, stream and server.

Otherwise, if they wait till next week, there would be too little time between the dev server and the update release to fix most of the issues that will surely be present.
