There is no new news currently to announce about anything related to WWM.

would be a neat way to test out ASM and Naval SAMs

Sorry, but just fed up of getting nothing for so long.

1 new map per year to year and a half I dont think is unreasonable. But nothing in nearly 3 years? Is a let down.

Game breaking bugs like the fact CCRP still barely works on Afghanistan or that most Ai convoys still travel underground half the time. But still no fixes there.

Shooting down F-86 Sabres in the Typhoon is just wierd.

No new Sim Brackets.

BR changes are rare

Heck, that doesnt even mention all the VR related bug reports that have sat acknowledged for months or even years.

The Falklands mention in the CM thingy, was hope that maybem, just maybe. We’ll get something, anything even little.

And the official devblog is for ARB only with only a “It might be planned for Air Sim but I have no idea”

its just a let down

There will be aircraft naturally in the major update, so you can rest assured there, but we have been clear that this is not an air focused update.

Though Ark Royal has no AA unlike Forestal which does create a lot of imbalance in Air SIm.

Attacking Ark Royal is stupidly easy, but Forestal is very very hard to attack and survive.

Especially with how buggy Carriers are

Still yet to take off from a carrier in my F-4J or F-14… Now we have F/A-18s… All these naval planes… No carriers in sight…

could be balanced out if she is escorted by type 21 and type 42 with SAMs

Yeah, or replaced with HMS Invincible that had SAM batteries

Though would only be the SHar that could take off

what a lovely day year to be a air sim main

Yeah…

I use to play loads. Now I might play one match in a blue moon. Its just become stale

Also all the bugs relating to aircraft cockpits that ruin the Sim experience.
Broken HUDs (+HMDs + Cockpit MFD Issues)
Well over 100 bugs listed now that still aren’t fixed with some going back years now.

Also on about cockpit issues @Smin1080p_WT could you expand on below please?

Spoiler

Back during Storm Warning the changelog said that many aircraft got radar tracked target markers added to them and amongst the listed was the J35XS and F-4 late modifications, but there actually isn’t any marker added to their HUDs. Was it just a typo or is something broken with them?

Lucky the F-2 counts as naval focused, so it’s clearly prominently featured in the teaser, right?

Right?

Right?

Spoiler

I have 5kg of salt and I’m not afraid to use them

Because they took them away…?

As someone who read CM notes No.6 I already knew this.

Standard answer but still doesn’t change the fast we are on day 7 and not a single aircraft was shown, I’m feel like your hiding something here
