Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

But has to be teaser before that, tho

( in my opinion, what it should be: continuous devblog every day, teaser by this week’s end,
dev stream by next week’s Thursday, dev server by next week’s Friday
~ this gives the devblogs more importance and engagement/discussion than get spoiled by the early dev stream within the 1st week [which makes the devblogs lose most of the interest ] )

A lot of cockpits needs reworks tbf

Yep, im just hoping they finish some they started last major update. SHar’s is virtually unusable at the moment

iam still waiting for in cockpit EEGS for the EF

i reported that on the storm warning dev server
and nothing happend

Yeah… Perhaps, and this is just pure copium, the reason why it and the SHar’s EEGS hasnt been added yet, is that they are updating the code for it to work a bit better and arent adding anymore until then.

Though that being said, I was hopiuming that was also the same for GMTI, and then the Su-30 got added with GMTI and the Typhoon and Rafale still dont have it

Rafale has it
F-18 has it
Su-30 has it

Bombers? some fighters dont even have cockpits, even PREMIUM ones at that…

F-4E is also doing real good

Yeah… but maybe the Typhoon is just so much better than them and thus, would be too OP :P

Bombers need them more

For anything wondering why it wont happen:

TldR: Its too expensive, and nobody uses them. A quote from devs on old forums:

A bomber cockpit costs 12,000 euros to design, about as much as an entire external model and flight model. A new aircraft without a cockpit will benefit 100% of the playerbase while the cockpit would benefit less than 1% of the playerbase, maybe in sim, that’s why we aren’t going to make them."

And more recently, they have stated that making just the bomber cockpit is “2-5 times more work than a full single seat plane” and that “we do not see any growth in their popularity. [gaijin dev] was talking only about SB mode (but [they] also have statistics about usage of cockpits in RB mode)”.

that has to be it

we just need to wait for 5 more rounds of Rafale buffs and then it will be fair to add EEGS for the EF

Its funny, because they aren’t popular because of the terrible cockpits and SB has been abandoned by the devs.

They like shooting themselves in a foot.

You’ve ruined my christmas, thanks
