Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

And then what? My point is it leaves things rather vague and then people take it upon themselves to bug report certain vehicles. Should be a bit more structured or apparent what the plan is when they add something like this. Larger communities, TTs that have more players would have a higher likelihood that someone would properly report the “missing” feature.

Would be nice to know when adding new systems what their plan is.
In the blog about changing missile physics for less dense air at altitude and motor changes they stated their intention of adding it to to all missiles not just the AIM-54, something like that for other additions would be nice.

Something like ESM should have been fixed before the update even went live. The idea that ONLY soviet aircraft had built in ESM was just dumb.

As for missile aerodynamics changes, yes that would be good to get a timeline for everyone else, but they are probably waiting for hte community to do the research for them

I think COIN aircraft armed with similar weapons (like the AT-6E or the Textron Scorpion with access to hellfires, LGBs, GBU-53s, etc) could be fun to have, even if they are only useful for infantry mode or nuclear escalation.

Reports are generally encouraged for anything in game thats “missing” (unless we have specified its not something to be reported) so that there are publicly traceable links / reports for everyone to see and use the status of. However its generally known what aircraft have what systems and comes down to when they are planned to be added and implemented. This could vary based on available information and other factors.

Almost spall liners all over again

So, soviet aircraft being hte only ones to get internal ESM was intentional?

Don’t forget ESM also making them IRST Fox-3 launch capable

That drives me nuts too.

Especially when STT auto-swaps and blocks you from using Fox-3s as well.

I tried to ping mods with clips at hand but no one replied to me except for Gunjob, but issue still there ofc…

Yeah… It wont be fixed anytime soon

@Smin1080p_WT May I ask of you if you can find a report for the PzH 2000 and missing DM121, I saw there was a report for DM111(L15A1), but nothing for DM121

Reminds me of the meme template where patrick says “we fix 1000 bugs in each major” but spongebob shows around his house and even outside quintuple the amount being generous XD

Last time this bug was active it got nuked in like 2 or 3 weeks at max(?)

Now it’s been almost 3 months. (for as long as ESM got introduced basically)

The difference is what nations it affects. Last time, I dont think it was the Su-30SM2s

Unironically it was the SM back then, and eurofighters, but it was to fix the annoying IR/PD autoswitch that blocked Fox-3 launches.

Now it’s basically every ESM capable Ru and China jet (that has an IRST ofc).

game has always been quite buggy but damn the more majors come out the more it’s visible how nimble the code of the game is (who knows if it is truly AI coded like a certain advertisement site implicates :)) you cannot add one BS properly that it breaks 2 or 3 others, we arrived at a point that we do a bingo of what it will be broken each patch…what a disaster…

Though if im not mistaken, only the EFTs get blocked now when STT swaps to IRST.

I think so yeah

Tried to replicate with my german Aesa Eurofighter, but in no way I was able to fire through PIRATE, and that’s because the Euro doesn’t have ESM for some unlogical reason.

Yep. half the issue is the underlying foundational code is broken or hopelessly inadequate
