How is the radar screen going to fix your latency issues? That’s a problem with your internet not the game
The radar control interface can automatically provide lead, guiding the missile toward the target. However, my main concern is whether the developers will address this issue promptly. Why are you focusing on this point?
Would the august update be a big one or a small one? Since we just had lots of stuff in Leviathans, I reckon it’d be a small update. Just givin FR/ITA some new AAs, USSR gets a new air premium, all of the things confirmed in the last stream and a bit of copy paste, that’d be it.
We don’t have august updates
The next major update is in a middle of September. After that it’s November and December
August as in the first dev comes out late August, but yeah, you are right
Well, if we don’t account for naval stuff in Leviathans, it’s actually very small update with extreme amount of bugs.
Modern SPAAs were clearly pushed to it from September major due to amount of errors with them. So…I guess more SPAAs for the rest of nations and a lot of fixes to already introduced ones.
Limited SEAD/DEAD implementation, maybe even some LOAL to counter SPAAs.
Another useless mechanic just because every update has to have it. I guess we’ll even see it soon in new community update.

I doubt if we would see any SEAD/DEAD in formal implementation, if there would be any, it would be like the last event I guess. LOALs depend on gaijin, if they feel like it then yes, but still, I think the addition of new SPAAs does not counter gaijin’s former rhetoric for not adding LOALs (as in they are not counterable by smoke grenades or switching positions)
LOAL is terrible from a gameplay perspective, if you give CAS the ability to launch guided ordinance
(not just GPS guided)
from cover without ever being visible to AA you can guess the result for top-tier
Same thing with MIL mode weapons
Already happens in the opposite direction
Basically any heli except Mi-28NM or new chinese one can’t even take off if there’s an SLM on a battlefield. SAM starts flying the moment heli spawns and hits 100% of the time due to high flare resistance.
And yes, SPAAs can intercept missiles
optical is enough actually, radar is just providing search
guidence is provided by the launch vehicle
There is too much to really cover in a single post to explain, but the short and sweet version is that every suggestion is factored in with considerations to existing currnent plans (normally spanning a year + in advance mapped out for vehicles, with some possible minor changes), avalable resources on said vehicle (sometimes, a vehicle may have a detailed suggestion, but when a deeper investigation is conducted, there is a lack of info, images or other core info that would he required on the vehicle avalable preventing it being possible), as well as the practicality and demand for the vehicle.
These are but a few considerations.
As for status updates, unfortunately its simply not practical or possible to provide individual responses to each specific vehicle as to why or why not it was rejected or included in plans. Each one can be different.

How was the CS/SA5 added then?
there are 0 available sources for any of the electronics on it like radar, Optics, tracking radar. Even on the missile itself the only publicly available information is guidance mode and range.
This isn’t the only example like this
Using the same methods for all other modern vehicles, as we explained for armour here (but the principles remain the same): [Development] Reports concerning the protection of post-war combat vehicles - News - War Thunder
Thanks, i hadn’t seen or read this before.
You didn’t seem to get what I was saying
Once is a fluke, twice a coincidence, three times a pattern and four times a standart.
There is a difference between one plane beating another once and one plane beating another more often in different conditions with different pilots
Smin, will the upcoming update be big?
Gaijin has stated that a new type of vehicle will arrive this year, and December is usually a aviation update.
Spoiler
Or… strategic bombers in December???
Wonder if it’s subs to break the streak. Though bombers are much more likely.
Would love to get strategic bombers but I hope Gaijin takes their time with them, properly sort out a game mode for them or some kind of rework to make them functional.
Also take their time with them and actually model the cockpits. If we get an update focused on these strategic bombers and we end up with 3 dials, a first gen iPad MFD screen and playdough pilot models as the cockpits it will be very disappointing.

Gaijin can’t be bothered to model a cockpit on a 50$ pack heli, which was one of main things in update trailer
Don’t think they will model them for bombers
That’s true. I reckon though they gave it such an awful cockpit placeholder because they realised the pilot sit’s in the front seat not the rear seat. The rear seat actually looks better than the cockpit placeholder we got to be honest, atleast it actually looks like the Comanche’s cockpit.
The rear seat looks almost finished other than being low res and no working MFD's
