Next Major Update "Sky Odyssey" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

i really hope this message doesn’t ping him cuz i don’t mean to

i’m just excited for the j16 tbh. when the pl12 and pl12a get fixed, china will finally be enjoyable with the normal amount of flares and proper missiles isntead of ones that do 25g’s max. dope update!! i like it.

It does, but dont worry. Im used to it over this last week ;-;

It does seem like being a community manager is a fast track to developing hypertension )))

Guess I will have to come to terms with it then.

The mobility feels really good IMO. I think Arjun will make a lovely side-grade to the Vickers Mk.7

just imagine how many pings you are going to get inbetween the dev server closing and the update releasing

Oh Smin you mentioned we might see something else for the UK tree a while back in the thread, that was the hawks right?

especially with the typical war thunder players fr. nothing satisfies them. point me to another military game that has realistic aviation, ground AND sea battles that feels fun and tries its best to balance the game. the sparrow is insane after this update.

i sometimes forget that this game isnt just about aviation and i can play tanks too lol.

my only issue with it is its at one of the best british line in the game which already has a ton of content so what do you not bring for a sub par tank

i wonder if we can have colored afterburners back in the future though

back when they were 2d it could be any color depending on the skin, but its only mach rings now (or whatever they were called). i don’t know if war thunder allows modelers to change the color of the burners and the modelers are just too lazy to do it, but given how i didn’t see any after the firebirds update, its probably the game doesn’t allow them to do so.

You can actually change the afterburner skin like a user skin, you need to find the afterburner files and then change the colours. Just look up in the internet

really? i’m gonna need some guidance on this but that sounds awesome… as well as hard.

R-27ER casually hitting Mach 5.8 after update:

Hey @Smin1080p_WT,

With the latest update we’ve been seeing a lot with new and updated HMDs for a variety of aircraft, most notably on the J-11s/15T and MiG-35S. I’m of course very happy to see these get implemented, and they make me more excited for future improvements for other HMDs.

I am curious, however, on when we can expect certain HMDs will get updated, and how they will be updated. As it seems a few details have been misidentified within source material.

For example, Targo-II and JHMCS-II have completely mismatched symbology. In the promotional images on their brochures, we see

  • A crosshair is visible in the middle of the image
  • A dotted red box represents a hostile being locked (presumably by radar)
  • A smaller yellow/red diamond represents the missile lock.

But in game the “crosshair” is represented by the dotted red box, and there is no radar lock symbology at all.

See Images for Details

Radar lock symbology has been an issue for older representations of JHMCS as well on various F-16s and F-15s, despite radar lock symbology being a core feature of the HMD.

To summarize, I have two questions:

  1. Can (/when can) we expect HMDs like Targo-II and JHMCS-II to receive updated / more accurate symbologies?
  2. Can (/when can) we expect missing features like radar lock symbology to be added to HMDs that are missing it (like Targo-II, JHMCS-I/II, Scorpion, etc.)?

And all are glorious, I just now hope for a nice Gnat or Ajeet and I will be pretty much content as heck with the UK air tree xD. Though I do hope the hawks get more kit, they seem very lacking.

I do hope though that gaijin expand the HEDP they put on the alpha jet DEFA to other DEFA/ADEN trainers though to help toughen them up a bit, that would be nice.

can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not due to the unexpected change of the sparrows but if 27er’s go hypersonic thats wild

They can, briefly, pre changes. You just have to be Mach 2+ at high alt.

Also,

It was announced before?

Some people got to learn patience
