Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Any chance of the base-bomber re-balance post that was said to be coming? Still unfair the tornados are at different BRs for “reasons”

Or any further news on Challenger 2 improvements. Several items said to be coming in the Dev post for the overhaul have yet to arrive like ammo stowage changes and the list of outstanding bug reports keeps getting longer and the CR2 keeps getting weaker.

And do I even need to mention the state of the Harriers?

A new update “Kings of Battle 2: Electric boogaloo”

Personally the questions I’d like to know are;

  • Will we see more armed trainer aircraft/modern bombers in the future?

  • Could we more single player missions/expanded campaign?

  • Could we see some utility aircraft added in the future maybe with some added objectives? (Such as C-47/A-400M/C-130 aircraft or V-22/UH-1Y Venom to deliver AI to capture points) Would be fun in Sim.

  • Is there the possibility of adding playable helicopters to Air Sim? (Again, drop AI off to capture points or just for attacking ground units. (But first atleast dial down the SPAA aimbot.))

  • Could we see a base bombing rework? (More bases/faster respawning bases/infinite health but bigger bases with rewards for bomb tons dropped)

  • Will there be improvements to AI bots? (Fix for supersonic subsonics, custom battle minimum BR doesn’t affect bots, give bots secondary weapons instead of fuel tanks)

  • Will any improvements to VR be made in the future with the release of Aces of Thunder? (Maybe interactable cockpits, walkaround hangar, general VR improvements)

  • Will we see functional MFD displays for Sim? (Slew controls, proper rendering, better displays for the various TGP MFD’s)

  • Could we see some general cockpit/HUD improvements/fixes? ( I recently made a topic here listing many issues I have found with bug reports that should be fixed however many issues have been reported for years and haven’t been fixed or even looked at.)

  • Could we see convertible RP finally get a purpose other than being a cashgrab? (Perhaps let us use it to skip mods or maybe let us use it for free but at a 50% penalty compared to using with GE?)

Is it possible for other forms off transparency from the devs such as releasing game data (like lichess does ik they are open source but it would be nice) or the sources devs have used to model vehicles

this would be a nice one to have, given that those sources have to be publicly available, and too many times do Gaijin turn down reports because they prefer their own secret sources over the ones presented by the community

Finally I will see Yamato 1945 and Nagato 1944/45 :)

But before these battleships, I would like to get the heavy cruiser Takao 1944 and Maya 1944 into the research branch.

Let’s say F-16C & F-16D Block 40 Barak II lose all medium-range Air-to-Air Missile and AIM-9M replace with Python 4

F-16C & F-16D Block 40 Barak II battle rating up to 14.0 or stay 13.7 ?

I don’t mind F-5T SCU Tigris move to early rank 8 and battle rating higher 11.3

But Python 3 stock instead AIM-9L x2 and received Python 4

Fingers crossed for G3 for Britain.

Already done

I know, but not officially in-game as a purchasable skin. Smin can’t show off his favourite aircraft to everyone else in the match without it otherwise 🤣

Honestly I don’t think the AMRAAM/Derby should be removed in favour of Python 4. IR only aircraft at higher BR’s are just tragic to play. The US F-16A and the Belgian F-16A at 12.7 and 13.0 respectively are awful to play. Granted Python 4 will be far better than AIM-9L and AIM-9M but lacking medium-long range missiles heavily restricts how you can play. I just don’t think it would be fun.

Id imagine these things(yamato, iowa etc) goes to 8.0. They are unironically going to face canberra and il28 etc and somehow still not worry about AA.

Now the question is, what would Italy, France, the Soviets and Germany offer to deal them? Britain could take out the vanguard and even possibly lion. Alsace would be a far strech, vittorio veneto has nothing but pen and mediocre protection at best, sovietsky soyuz is only worse, and Germany is stopping at bismarck.

Researchable Drones When?

What kind of drones? Strike UCAVs are out of question. FPVs would be a big no as well.

This one we can indeed answer right now, as we have most recently in the last few major updates added SPAAs in this era. We will always aim to fill more gaps, including SPAAs moving forward too.

No new news on this front currently.

CR2 hasn’t had any negative reductions since its overhaul. Which also had some positive improvements too.

The devs will be working though any outstanding reports on the vehicle. The main overhaul was completed however.

Hi smin, will seperate aircraft BRs for naval RB/AB be considered soon? Aircraft gameplay in naval does not offer huge significance half the time.

Su-30 early variants for soviet/russia and china coming to the first major update before Su-30SM, Su-30MKI (post Super Flanker upgrade) and Sino-Flanker ? 🤔
