Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

[Phrysenberg]

Expect the worst, but hope for the best, and Israel players have reasons to because Popeye and AGM130 were competitors

They did not say that a BMD-4M was going to come to the tech tree.

[x-GeeNo_MS-x]

but it says BMD brother in christ how many BMDs exist? well think about one of those and you have the answer.

[Morvran]

Knowing the Soviets. 150? Maybe 200? variants :P

[Shay]

@x-GeeNo_MS-x

how many BMDs exist?

More than you seem to think.

@Smin1080p_WT Given this rumor proved true and as such is now highly credible due to ‘target point creation from map click’ feature coming to the game this major update - any chance we could get a comment on if we might see some more of these implemented in the near future? (especially the top 3, those small changes would be a godsend and really appreciated by a great many players)

@skilz2kil

I’d like to start a rumor that this next major will have some popular qol aircraft controls updates with;

• autoleveling taken out of SAS mode toggle and given its own independent keybind, and
• optional separate engine thrust axis’s added so we can finally use split throttles (especially since we have had port/starboard engine axis controls for SHIPS for a while now but somehow not aircraft yet lol)
• countermeasure series keybind added same as heli’s already have (so we can just hold it to constantly dispense countermeasures instead of spam clicking)

Additionally, there is a highly credible rumor with more cockpit functionality/sim improvements slated to come including;

• working keybinds to slew target point designation around from solely inside cockpit view (functional TGP mfd controls)
• INS navigation instruments made functional to point towards current target point
• target point creation from map click

"The missile and the target fly towards each other, and therefore the missile is capable of shooting down targets with greater speed."In his eyes, intercepting a target flying at 3 mach means only intercepting a target approaching at 3 mach.

no

@battlerog

is the HQ-17 gonna REPLACE the THOR-M1 , or will it just be added as it is and the THOR stay’s available ?

Thor is not being replaced. Both will be available.

Hoping its not done but it appears the F-5T is still missing quite a bit.

It doesnt have the MFDs in the cockpit its supposed to have
It doesnt have the additional Python 3 underwing (which im 100% sure just isnt ready)
And then no Python 4 which atp isnt very suprising

[Swokе]

@XSpaz1NOuTX

It doesnt have the HMD

But it has both IR HMD and Radar HMD

[XSpaz1NOuTX]

Maybe I missed it then thank you for the correction :p

Ah I see it now thank you

[XSpaz1NOuTX]

I see that @MAUSWAFFE is way ahead of me and has bug reported it. Thanks :p

[TheAceOfAces]

Is the Pzh2000 HU going to be a store pack?

If so, any word on if it’ll be a pre-order ?

[_Renzo]

You mean the devblog from the original BMD-4 years ago?

[Dogsbody40]

if its anything like the VIDAR its probably a pack, but we’ll have to wait for a devblog or if it appears as a preorder

[SidLol]

we aint getting a second one

[_Renzo]

Not a second one necessarily, but I would be suprised if they update the dev server tomorrow and extended it slightly.

[Torpid_Hunter]

When do you guys think the update is dropping?

[TheAceOfAces]

Based on historical dates for this update, should likely be next week.

(Probably why they pushed out Teaser + Dev this week on a Monday / Tuesday, instead of the usual Thursday / Friday).
