Ok thanks!
just a quick question that was on my mind, but will more drop tanks come to more low teir props that could use them at all?

For most prop aircraft, drop tanks wouldn’t serve any meaningful gameplay benefit. Matches typically don’t last long enough to make them as valuable as they are for jets. So most of our efforts are focused on expanding them for new and existing jets.
However, its something perhaps for the future to consider. We certainly don’t rule it out entirely.

Actually another one from me but this time it’s about hangers, I don’t really like how you have to swap to three different hangers when you have a huge line up as your screen get’s juggled up with blur half of the time. Is there a way to turn this off as it can get quite annoying sometimes
@Smin1080p_WT will gen 4.5 aircraft be prioritized to have their reports resolved in order to ensure they are competitive against 5th gen in the lead up to their introduction?
Reports on Gen 4.5 like Typhoon should be prioritized before the addition of Gen 5 for sure.

TCU uses 9M, and removing the Derby would be a problem. All the other missiles here are IR-seeking, why would you get rid of the only ARH/Radar missile? It could easily go to 13.3/7 (depends what other vehicles get the armament) w/ Derbies.
(Wing drop tanks for the Phantoms comes to mind)

I’m afraid that 5th gens are gonna need the most attention to not get dunked on by current 4.5 gen aircrafts.
If 5th gens got added let’s say tomorrow, most of them would be ahh.

as much as i would love that, its less likely to happen, and more likely to just be another jet with said things
More drop tanks would be great. Obviously not needed for most but would sure be a welcome addition. Stuff like the:
P-51
F4U
Spitfire
Bf-109
Bf-110
Also for jets and helicopters like the:
F-86
F-4
F-104
Harrier 1
Harrier 2
Mi-28
Obviously wouldn’t be useful for helicopters but moreso for the looks.

I could see Su-57 flying around as a wonder weapon with 360 DIRCM preventing IR missiles from hitting it, and actually having proper climb and acceleration to launch R-77-1s while notching to guide in the missiles.
Explain? Especially the part about another jet with said things.
Yeah that’s the only one I wanted to leave out of my previous statement, since on paper it’s quite literally the most suited for the type of meta we have.
I doubt that 5th gens are planned for the first update of the year, but June could be a possibility, so I hope that in the meantime they work on the aforementioned “new mechanics” and actually change how air RB works.
4.5 gen reports being worked on like you mentioned is not out of the question tho, them getting new missiles is already quite the step, but still, they could see a gazillion of reports being implemented.
Also the Ouragan, that thing almost always had its tanks irl
the Brazilian one would be ok as an event.
I’ve got a feeling that the event vehicle is gonna have nothing to do with the actual Chinese Zodiac
The Shir (Shir means lion btw) wasn’t related to the year of the snake, the Object 292 had nothing to do with the year of the dragon, I would be surprised if this years event vehicle is somehow related to the year of the horse
I don’t think 5th gens are coming anytime before the second half of 2026 for sure, I think developers intend to keep their word on it. My issue is that they’ll keep focusing on adding more slop vehicles (content) rather than fixing reports in the lead up to the introduction of 5th gen.

Hello @Smin1080p_WT. I had a question regarding making a report for IRCCM of some missiles. Through the shared datelined values of FoV reduction IRCCM, I have been able to compare them to real life values. I would want to make a report on that, but I know that datelined values aren’t accepted for most reports.
There’s also no way to get accurate values for FoV reduction IRCCM, since there’s no in game way to see them. There was a report made (proposing) to add such visual representation when FoV reduction on some missiles but it was refused (Community Bug Reporting System).
If I where to make a report using datelined values, would it be possible to still get it accepted ?
I am kind of stuck in this situation
