Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

And at least according to BVVD, they’re content to stay at WW2 levels.

I do hope that we get more cold-war era vessels in game one day, but limiting the scope to WW2 and expanding with submarines and carriers (and of course all of the game mode and map fixes this would necessitate) is probably the right call for the moment.

They cant have the mobile game have more modern ships?
But it would take a lot of work to model modern (80s/90s) era naval ships.

They could go as late as vessels like the Sverdalov, the last proper gun boats

how is it looking,
f18?

The mobile game has lots of things the desktop game doesn’t, including missile ships and submarines. No doubt it’s a testing ground for implementing new features, but it also doesn’t try to simulate nearly as much as the desktop game does.

I bet we absolutely will see the ships that are currently in WTM in the main game at some point.

… It’s in the game already?

i were talking about this type of aircrafts lol i did not mind them lol

I know, but that’s about as late as they can go, I don’t know any later gunships of the top of my head

DO NOT TELL ME YOU MADE HIM SIT ON THAT THING!

That is Chinese counterpart to EA-18G

Can we expect VR improvements, with the development of Aces of Thunder ???
with this can we get a better VR experiance with ships and tanks, planes work, but happy to get more improvements in that department.

Been doing alot of Sim Air in VR, its amazing!!!

I think skink should be 5.0 at most

Guys recently went rank III france air tree, why do I get one-shot almost systematically while at rank II my plane very well survived plenty hits? Is that just bad luck or skill issue or is it a fact

Likely an increase in the number of canon armed aircraft.

With the lowest BRs, smaller calibre MGs are the most common and to get kills with those, you often have to put a sustained burst into the target to set fire to the engine or kill the pilot.

When you start to encounter heavy MGs like the 12.7mm/50cal and the 20mm Canons like teh Hispano, the damage dealt by these shells increase significantly. 20mm rounds can blow apart a fighter sized target in just a few rounds.

Rank 2 can be a mix of both small calibre and larger calibre, but as you enter rank 3, they tend to have much better ammo capacity.

If you want to see the size difference in the rounds used during WW2, this is a great video for the spitfire

Makes sense ig… Also why is the VB.10-02 ranked much higher than the D.520 while it maneuvers like shit? Its only strength is its weaponry fr

I have no idea.

Speed and armament I would assume, time on target for the VB.10-02 is very low, and it can presumably control engagements better thanks to its speed, though I haven’t spent much time in either so that’s just my guess

Just add super hornets w/ LRASM and air launched Harpoons then. And gulf war Iowa class

Thats pretty modern stuff, Iowa modernised would be cool

Unfortunately the Iowa class doesn’t really help much, it’s role is better suited to land attack, and it’s air defences aren’t great, and one Hornet isn’t quite as potent as a Tico, a solo Nimitz class is pretty defenceless too, the issue is that modern US navy doctrine requires a group to do anything, whereas the Soviet anti capital ship cruisers while not amazing at anything, can do a bit of everything

Now I don’t know a huge deal about naval battles, but I do know that anything that requires teamwork doesn’t work in war thunder
