Thunder show died for me when Bruce vanished.

Considering the original stat card it was probably still a copy paste CanDATS at that point.
Thundershow is just full of some of the most boring clips now with a light sprinkling of actual skill/luck. Like the majority of it is either some guy that got a good flank or a Pe-8/Lancaster nuking a lobby (which itself is 80% just killing 2-3 tanks with the bomb).
But don’t get me wrong some genuinely good clips do make it on there, however we just get the same stuff over and over again, Thundershow just isn’t what it used to be.

At least someone who will actually prepare for the stream and won’t repeat “you know” after each phrase.
You know that not a bad idea you know and just to say you know I agree with you, you know lol

Ight peoples, what have I missed this weekend?
Nothing baring more bugs
So nothing too surprising?
Fair enough.
They are adding cruise missiles and player controlled ICBM
Lemme guess, unconfirmed leak (someone’s wishlist, probably) or something?
Or are we just saying stuff and seeing how people react?
Joking, added ICBM part so it’s really obvious
We rge players have decided James May should host the next devstream
m’kay, yeah I figured it was something along those lines.
Just tired from trying to figure out VR piloting with my new HOTAS lol

fun.
guess I’ll have to find time to actually watch it if they decide to pull something like that (we all know they won’t ):

Not old enough to down a stubby with the mates, it seems.

depends on where in the world you are.
In America, no. In Europe, yes. (I’m American)
When will we have cruise missiles? It won’t break the gameplay since we already have the glide and propel bombs. The new thing with the cruise missiles would be that they follow the terrain without crashing into a mountain like a glide bomb would. Don’t shoot too much. It would just be necessary for the cruise missiles to be considered as planes so that the AAA or enemy ships can defend themselves a little without letting themselves die.
and I can well imagine in the equipment options choosing whether we want the missile to hover or fly at 8000 meters like the explosion time for a bomb
The issue is range. Grom-1s were rightly removed because they had too great a range. True Cruise missiles take that to an absolute extreme and we simply dont have maps large enough to properly balance them. As much as Id love Storm Shadows. They would break gamemodes like ASB

The Grom-1 is different, it’s a gliding bomb that can go beyond Mach 1. I’m talking about cruise missiles. Gaijine nerfed the FOX 3 because otherwise the maps would be too small too. So they can also nerf the cruise missiles which are subsonic
The big advance in gameplay with cruise missiles would be terrain tracking, otherwise it behaves like a gliding bomb that maintains its speed at Mach 0.9
