We’ll get ground focused updates soon, but probably not in the way you are waiting to see
new CAS weaponry ofc
ARM counts imo :P
Was thinking about infantry, coz you know, those are ground forces as well
But I guess CAS counts as ground content lol
I wonder if they are still working on those Electronic Support Measures (ESM) that they were talking about when announcing that they would start adding more capable SAMs
They did claim that ARMs wouldn’t be a priority or necessity and that they would be looking into ESM stuff first
Im wondering if it could be a bit of a combo update.
- ARM
- Some much needed radar updates
- ECM
- CM updates (like finally fixing BOL and modeling chaff better)
- Reworking ARH seekers a bit
etc etc
Could all be adjacent features
Thinking about it more, ARM and ECM could share a lot of code depending on how offensive EW was modeled
Would be nice to finally see ECM or at least counter measure updates, but I feel like they would have talked about that stuff by now if they actually were working on that stuff
Maybe we’ll hear something about this in the next Community Update
Spoiler
I’ve got no hope for that tho, they’ll just throw (H)ARMs into the mix, as if SAMs/SPAAs weren’t completely screwed already

Hopefully when we do get ECM they don’t just keep it for aircraft. The lack of ECM in-game and specifically ground vehicles was one of the reasons why we got the neutured Brimstones and denied AGM-114L.
Maybe they can work it so tanks with ECM protect an area around them basically like DIRCM but a bit bigger so it can be used to cover allied tanks that may not have ECM capabilities. Then instead of just lobbing off all of your missiles at random you would need to coordinate with your team so that they can take out the tanks with ECM so that you can than use your missiles effectively.
Or maybe they could implement multi-spectral smoke.

Yeah, definetly a possibility. Though no idea what or even if any MBTs have the necessary ECM to jam MMW
Why would they fix what’s not broken in their opinion?
Unfortunately this is the case. Until such time there is an Su-30 with BOL at least, then it will be top priority

Inb4 Su-47 with 4000 BOL CM’s and suddenly they announce a BOL rework.

Hear me out: They could replace the current multipathing implemenation with “ground bounce” ECM which is effectively the same.

Probably would deal with the current… buggyness that can occur with MP
In a similar vain we should ask for a premium Harrier to go to Russia so that they fix it’s proper FM, engine temp issues, the actual Sea Harrier HUD + EEGS, a correct GR.1 cockpit etc etc.

Well, why do you think they haven’t implemented the “Tor M2DT” yet? Because they would have to collateral fix the swedish SLS SPAA :D

Gaijin would rather let the sun implode then fix the Elde. I can almost tell you the elde will rot and they will make the Tor M2DT the best off road vehicle for sure

Welp, I’ve spent the whole day on ER and may have to stay for a while, apparently my heart is damaged and failing, among other issues I had been dragging for some time
Perhaps I may actually not get to see regenerative steering, or… all of those fixes I always wanted to see after all hahah
All along… I said it as a joke yesterday, but who knows now. Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing too bad but guess I had to blow off some steam.
Anyway, I will try to stay up to date and stay online. I’ve got my phone with me so it’s something I guess
