Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Sometimes I still can’t believe I’m 27, as I still remember 2017 like it was literally weeks ago, hahahah.

Sometimes, I say “hey, the other day I came across (whatever)”, and “the other day” is 2016 lmao.

When people ask me how old I am, I have to stop for a moment and ACTIVELY remember or even check in which year we are, and I’m like, “ah, 27 it is… okay then” :')

Yep! I supposse and hope that the devs are working on an advanced and polished build before releasing anything.

I’ve just been fishing with the Sea Eagles

It is kinda fun seeing how close you come to crashing each time you have to take off of Baku

Yep, which is the exact same tactic we’ve been forced to do in ASB for years. Which is fine if you’ve got them. Infuriating if you dont. and whilst I dont play it much. I know the AA is just as strong at lower BRs where there are no guided weapons or even CCIP.

I might try it. Maybe, I dont know if I can be bothered. I find the gamemode actually a bit boring overall. Waaaaay too much emphasis on just nuking everything. The gamemode is just

  • Farm SP
  • Get into something with nukes
  • Nuke everything.

The moment nukes are available, carefully aiming a 1000lb bomb is totally redundant, and the gamemode can only be won by nuking everything too. So there is even more reason to just jump immediately into a nuke carrier.

it was a fun gimmick for the april fools, but as a serious, permamnent gamemode… I think the nukes need to be totally rebalanced, if not maybe removed and the gamemode reworked without them.

And god help you if you spawn on the Baku by mistake.

Its clear the devs just didnt pay attention to what they were doing. Like at all…

Smin denied Singaporean stuff for Israel so far.

You can with the bucc, but you have to only carry missiles, back up and then go.

I watched a teammate do it and sacrifice the landing gear to the sea

yeah, unless you’re a harrier or Yak-38 you have some trouble,

Bucc can just about manage with a load of weapons

Which is just stupid it requires that at all though.

Especially when its a forestal on the otherside which a catapult.

I mean I could do it with the Viggen but probably not if we get RBS 15, maybe lol, either way it’s funny to occasionally watch new players attempt to fly and then become submarines

Personally prefer if the AJSH-37 is added for anti-ship purposes. Also Sweden doesn’t have a lot to choose for new aircraft

I mean we did look at mounting Shrike on our F1000F here in Denmark but we ended up skipping the ARM since newer missiles were coming out.

Gaijin could add RB04E though for Lansen and
image-18

You get the idea though, too bad we’re not allowed niche domestic missiles, RB72 my beloved

@Smin1080p_WT could acting upon all the accepted but not implemented bug reports in regards to missing drop tanks be looked in to? With all these nuclear thunder tests it’s very apparent that drop tanks are now important, especially in the Vietnam test. Some aircraft just feel straight up unplayable because by the time your at the action, it’s time to head back to base.

Furthermore, some aircraft already have them, but only in the centerline. A great example would be the F-4C. If you want to take the tank you have to lose your very important gunpod. This could easily be solved by adding its missing wing drop tanks.

No he said ther Singaporean stuff will go where they fit the most, and if I am not wrong F-15SG has some Israeli systems

I gotta ask why the AJSH tho? Realistically no need for a heavier Viggen in a game mode where it’s already outclassed given the devs have admitted they don’t want to remove the artificial weight increase

If i remember correctly i saw somewhere (can’t remember where or if it’s true) that the EldE 98 actually already has regen steering in-game because it needed it to work in any reasonable way with it’s trailer (that IRL isn’t a trailer). If that’s true then they have indeed already done some testing with it.

I believe we will see more than one aircraft in Israeli tech tree

Yes Elde was given the code everyone uses for regen steering because the devs admitted the game engine can’t handle dual drive vehicles like the Elde which begs the question why add a vehicle if the devs can’t add it in a way that’s playable

Don’t worry the devs also managed to make the Elde replacement worse than the Elde on launch too lmao

Me too, I hope for a full Greek subtree as the fifth line of the TT

That was where the original push for regen steering came from.

The point is though, that the code for 90% of regen steering (or at least a reasonable facsimile) already exists and memebers of the community have already applied it to basically every single MBT and more than a few light tanks too (scimitar for example) and the results have been impressive.

If a single modder can take code already in-game, and apply it to a load of tanks also already in-game in about a week.

Then surely the devs can do it in a year, even with a lot of effort being on a single gamemode. Especially as it would be unlikely for them to apply it to everything at once and instead cherry pick a few each major update for a year or 2

Let alone the 8-9 years that preceeded it.
