Need… gamba…

Eveyone has their own subjective opinions about whats important to them or not. What may be nothing at all to you could be huge to someone else. Take the British APHE for example, Spitfire bomb racks, or many of the other QoL based loadout reports that came in the last major.

Naturally these are not game changing reports, but reports of relevance and importance to many.

Because it doesn’t apply personally to you doesnt mean it doesn’t matter. Everyone has their own personal wishlist of reports.

So whatever helps the marketing department most is priority right?

Especially huge when considering the fact that the Churchill 7 had to go to 5.0 for that? Yea no I’d rather not.

I mean… it’s not subjective opinions, it’s about how bigger issues should be prioritized over virtually insignificant ones; a whole nation’s Top Tier tank family having broken steering that doesn’t allow it to move properly is objectively more relevant than a tank being 0.1 km/h slower, or having a different coaxial machine gun.

British APHE was one of the bigger changes that was on par with the ones I mentioned, although it came at the cost of the tanks being up-BR’d, but that’s a different topic.

But this is a matter of majorities. If I made a post about Type 10’s broken steering, like I already have, several thousand users would show up to show their dissatisfaction with the situation. However, I doubt many people ever knew or cared about Conway being 0.1 km/h too fast.

IDK man, I would say it was pretty gamechanging to the churchill VIIs especially given how massively it improved their capability. Higher AP level AND 1 shot capacity being massively buffed for them, very gamechanging.

And for the UK TT as a whole too in general getting APHE which put them on par in 1 shot capacity was big.

(a big part of why i went to play them again, and i 100% felt the improvement immediately, as did my stats)

I am still waiting on the Tiger UHT getting the same loadout options as the Tiger HAC, which got them on release.
When the UHT reports existed since years.

I already gave up on making you forward them, since it got ignored either way by the devs…

That the UHT lacks the capabilities of the HAC is just sad

I would say the CVRT family missing them is a big thing on there too, would massively improve their survival and has been up for over 2 years.

Im not sure what relevance this comparison has here, as nobody made that claim they were directly equal.

Its been explained many times before, that whenever a tank(s) thats already perfoming on or slightly above the average for its BR receives a more powerful shell, its BR is highly likey to also increase due to their performance increases. We Initally held of the British APHE for this reason, and explained that was a consideration. People still wanted to see it. So we introduced it. As expected, their new performance then required a BR increase. So there really wasn’t anything unexpected there.

As we have already mentioned, a deeper steering wide review is planned. This is part of that. It doesn’t mean other matters can be addressed in the meantime, or that nothing else matters.

Oh, I am aware of the new planned steering standards across ALL tanks! However, Type 10’s steering is broken within current steering standards. It would have been cool to have it fixed within current standards before the new ones finally come to the game. It’s been 6 years of the tank pulling a 180º turn over pressing A/D for 0.47 seconds.

In any case, I am looking forward to all of that, since you’ve mentioned it; and, like I’ve said other times, I hate sounding grumpy and I’m sorry I raged again about these issues hahah, but I’m just sad that some Top Tier MBTs have been broken for 3-6 years with “accepted” bug reports that are yet to actually be addressed, like the numerous proven missing spall liners (2PL, CR2s, 99A…), CR2’s ammo rack issues (size and replenishment speed), SEPs’ side CE armor and all Abrams fuel tank bulkheads (still wrong in plating and thickness even in the reworked ones), 99A’s carousel positioning being way too low and thus directly having a negative artificial impact on its survivability, etc.

On the topic of bug fixing, when’s the radar HMS going to get vibecoded into the game for the tech tree F-16AM?

The report has been fixed internally, so likely the next major update.

Speaking of HMD’s any hope more fixes will come for some with this update? Stuff like missing radar lock boxes, working RWR symbology, and blue forces trackers for the ones that should have it (JHMCS for example)? If you can say that is.

HUDs, MFDs and cockpit symbology are a constant WIP featured in every major update. So its highly likey this one will be no exception to that too.

@Smin1080p_WT Can you confirm gamba is tomorrow?

Speaking of, is there any update on the 6pdr APHE now that the dust has somewhat settled on the 75mm APHE? Or do we need to start banging the drums again haha

Did we ever get any clues on the delayed Indo tanks?

And if you were to take the wishlists of say 100 people and notice 80 out of 100 have an overlapping wish for bug X to be fixed along with the other bugs you would fix bug X and move on to the next most important bug

Oh thank god, this really pissed me off and i am sure glad its finally fixed!!
