Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

So many mistakes in the word Australia…

Or, @F-16D_Barak_II could look at our sheet. :)

Of course it’s not directly applicable to bug reports, but at least you don’t have to test everything, and only have to gather evidence on the broken ones.

Now that the Great War is over, maybe the O/400 will get some of it 's unused larger bombs:



They would’ve been overkill in the event w/ no SPAA, but now that that 's over they’re normal for the BR range that can see the Stuka already.

These would be cool, but the need to find an OEM so that the bomber can shoot over the tail area and not be fighter bait is still going to be a major issue for it sadly. (I mean really, who is going to be able to find an OEM about that lol, even the designs for the rail systems in the manuals/building instructions for smaller more produced planes were iffy for the time and varied in if followed or not)

Only thing I can find close to talking firing arcs is about the V1500 and it needing a tail redesign because it would block firing over the rear area too much, doubt its enough for gaijin.

It’s really interesting the way Gaijin make event choice.

They never do (afaik) stuff like celebrating the end of WWI.

But they can do stuff for some Russian hockey player.

In a war game.

That explains a lot why we haven’t seen any cool ideas recently lol

Was that meant to be a pun?

Nope just would explain why we have yet to see sub nations tabs = dev not interested

They had a news post for Armistice Day last year and for the Remembrance weekend in 2023. They’ve posted about it in 2016, but considering that WW1 isn’t really relevant for WT, it’s not very surprising that they don’t do actual events for it.
They have D-Day, VE-Day and VJ-Day events every year however and the V-E Day event always comes with a huge sale, cosmetics and one or more event vehicles.

If WWI is not relevant for WT, what an hokey player is doing here?

I don’t know either, I’m just letting you know that they do acknowledge Armistice Day and the Remembrance Weekend.

I really don’t understand why people think this is a deal killer. It really isn’t much of an issue when, first of all, age ratings do not stop kids from playing games. I’ve played Halo since I was, like, 10, and back then the series was rated M. So long as it isn’t AO or similar, it’s unlikely to matter, especially when Fortnite, which is explicitly targeted towards kids has the same age rating, and rather explicitly features peoples killing peoples. And, If they are that concerned with their age rating, there are ways around it that can allow them to implement FPS infantry without raising the age rating.

The 12+ age rating allows Gaijin to do a lot more advertising for WT. They wouldn’t be able to do nearly as much advertising if the game was 18+.

Fortnite does not feature blood, gore, realistic weapons or excessive violence. Similar to WT the characters in Fortnite also do not die.
On top of that Fortnite uses a cartoon style to have it be less realistic, which helps keeping the age rating down.

There aren’t when the game is as realistic as WT.

He was playing for the Russian team in the world championships as late as 2015.

Yeah didnt know that. In footbal (soccer) some players with two citizenships play for the soccer team in which their non national team is

Well he isn’t a US citizen.

And WT, rather explicitly, bills itself as a ‘realistic’ vehicle combat game, and already has infantry in the game, not just in the odd event, but also in the single player missions, which would affect the rating.

As for violence, the simple answer is to not use blood, gore, etc and say that people get ‘knocked out’ instead of killed. Basically, what they already do.

That only holds water if you ignore the infantry in the SP missions, those in the events, and the numerous vehicles in the game that feature crew present on the vehicle, where they get ‘knocked out’ from a shell the size of their head smashing into said head at supersonic speed.

So, you think Enlisted could get the same age rating as Fortnite just by getting rid of the blood and the gore and claiming that infantry doesn’t die, but rather get knocked out?

Why am I even trying to argue with you anymore, you apparently are the expert and know better than the rest of us.

I am pretty sure the AIM-54C (and the ECCM variant) would have the same max overload of 17Gs as the AIM-54A and B. These missiles are limited in their maneuverability in WT because bank-to-turn is not a thing in WT.

We both know that we won’t be getting modeled RIOs anytime soon lol

It does however stop Gaijin from marketing to these kids.

Just look up the descriptions of the pegi 12 and pegi 16 online. If you seriously think WT fps infantry and fortnite fit in the same description you are funny.
