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

[TheGhOsTGeneral]

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…

[Smugspite]

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

[Morvran]

Yeah, or replaced with HMS Invincible that had SAM batteries

Though would only be the SHar that could take off

[Sakyuz]

@Morvran_

No new maps
No new content
No BR changes
No new BR brackets

what a lovely day year to be a air sim main

[Morvran]

Yeah…

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

[joshje100]

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?

@Stona_WT

A radar tracked target marker has been added to several HUDs. If the target is outside the HUD viewing zone (Target Locator Line), the target marker will remain at the edge of the HUD viewing zones and blink, indicating the direction to the target. Indication has been added for the following aircraft (as well as aircraft using similar HUDs): Su-27, MiG-29, Yak-141, F-16, F-15, F-14, F-20, F-5, Su-34, Mirage 2000/4000/F1, Super Etendard, J-8F, F-4 late modifications, J35XS, JA37.

@Smin1080p_WT

we have been clear that this is not an air focused update.

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

[TheGhOsTGeneral]

Because they took them away…?

[Deathmisser]

@Smin1080p_WT

but we have been clear that this is not an air focused update.

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

@Smin1080p_WT

There will be aircraft naturally in the major update, so you can rest assured there,

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

[Cpt_Duck]

Am I correct in thinking that 130km^2 makes Falklands the biggest map? Other questions I have are “is 130km^2 the practical playable area? Or the actual total size.”

[Joke_MaN]

You mean C-704KD and CM-704KG?

[NCC105]

yes, possibly unfinished. lazy as always.

[Morvran]

Yeah, I am very concerned that when Aces of Thunder releases they’ll just delete Air Sim for War Thunder

[AWACS_Ghost_Eye1]

I didnt even know her model exists but yeah, im more thinking to make sure it is absolutely balanced

[ron_23]

can i give you a few more HUD/cockpit reports?

[SPANISH_AVENGER]

Have we ever had a teaser on the same day as a dev blog, or have they always come alone? I can’t remember…

[joshje100]

Go for it yeah, post them in that topic and I’ll add them.

They were marked on the list, so should have been part of it. Therefor if its not present, a new report can be made.

[Fireraid233]

Maybe with a particular boom stick ;)

[TheGhOsTGeneral]

Normally its teaser than blog after if on the same day. If memory serves me right
