Is the image quality going to decrease further with each tick that’s being added?

A good blog is only when I see my fokker T.V : P

Perhaps

I think it’s just a matter of time for both Lion and H-39

When lickblog? :)

Q&A is here

Some things noticed from it.

  • ARM’s probably in the first half of 2026.
  • No indirect fire mechanics for artillery vehicles.
  • No smoke artillery.
  • White Rock Fortress is “in active development and might comeback before the end of the year.
  • Not planning on replacing ARB with ARB EC or mixing it into the normal matchmaking.
  • Aerial Warfare mode in development.
  • World War Mode development is slow.
  • Planning on more test modes.
  • Strat bombers are planned, not as meta additions but collector vehicles.
  • More BR decompression.
  • Working on submarines, no date set.
  • No more map bans.
  • No plans for heli PvP, no plans for making heli PvE better.
  • Differential steering maybe? (But they reduce mobility.)
  • You can use the map filter to get bigger maps if you want. Players prefer smaller maps with 1 team getting spawn trapped.
  • Basement guy trapped.

Well, based on the CM post I’m gonna assume that the likelihood of the Chu-SAM and HQ-11 coming is pretty high.

The unusual bomber it was talking about probably is the DB-LK. I would have hoped for something like the YB-35 or YB-49, but the DB-LK looks fun as well.

Judging by mentions of the MiG-25 earlier this year, that one will most likely be one of the four Christmas event vehicles.

Now let’s watch him answer previously answered questions

Ohhhhh noooooo lol

So smaller maps are better because people want to see the action, is BvvD really this out of touch ?

Meanwhile we have almost coverless naval maps with players spawning almost 20km away, making almost any shots miss…

Smaller maps is good for the economy.

Oof Israel takes another L. Got a barely functional AA which will get stomped into the ground again by ARMs only because the AAs from other nations were too dominant.

Thank god

I sure hope that this will be a replacement for ARB EC, because I’m really getting mad about their refusal to just add ARB EC as a seperate mode

Hell yeah

This was in response to mostly identical vehicles of lower ranks that were added in recent years (M44, M55 etc).

The Su-30MKI is different to the Su-30s we have in game and top tier vehicles are a different matter for consideration and not what the context of the question being asked was.

These vehicles would be great to add to the game

  • SU-57 (br 15.7)
  • F22 (br 15.7)
  • F35 (br 15.7)

Some great weapon additions would be:

  • Python 4 and 5 for planes (give kurnass 2000 python 4)
  • banana gun (a bit OP but we could try)
  • AIM-9X with the addition of 5th gen planes

Some great other things could be

  • pls fix BR of bmp-2m
  • bring Ayit back to 9.3 >:(
  • remove france
  • In Ground realistic add it so when you leave your vehicle at the airfield you can switch your set up
  • Add back the D point to certain large maps like maginot line

Good

The Su-30MKI can wait until we have more important subtree vehicles like the Tejas and Cheetah :)

There is a LOT east german vehicles possible to be added trough that system.

Russians waiting for tor m1 as well

The sum up from the Q&A:

  • ARM’s probably in the first half of 2026.
  • No indirect fire mechanics for artillery vehicles.
  • No smoke artillery.
  • White Rock Fortress is “in active development and might comeback before the end of the year.”
  • Not planning on replacing ARB with ARB EC or mixing it into the normal matchmaking.
  • Aerial Warfare mode in development.
  • World War Mode development is slow.
  • Planning on more test modes.
  • Strat bombers are planned, not as meta additions but collector vehicles.
  • More BR decompression.
  • Working on submarines, no date set.
  • No more map bans.
  • No plans for heli PvP, no plans for making heli PvE better.
  • Differential steering maybe? (But they reduce mobility so we might give a public test first.)
  • You can use the map filter to get bigger maps if you want. Players prefer smaller maps with 1 team getting spawn trapped.
  • Basement guy trapped.

We waited over a month for that.
