The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Ninth Wave”! — 16.03.2026 (Dev Server is CLOSED)

@kizvy

it has worse flight performance than the B model

AFAIK NAVAIR -1.1 manual says B and D model has exactly same flight performance/characteristics.

Even if there are difference, it should be ignorable, just like Bf 109 F-4 and F-4/trop.

@Smin1080p_WT
Any updates of those bug reports?

Kfir Canard - Incorrect drop tank capacity

Kfir Canard - Incorrect G-load limits

[Atomic_Gamming]

So we are getting R-73’s, AAM-3’s, Magic-2’s all at or under 13.0, but the F-14B can’t get the Aim-9M… what is this blatant disregard for it? We also just got the Aim-7P with the F/A-18, but the F-14 doesn’t have it… Gaijin, please remember you need to treat all aircraft with love, not just the new ones.

@Smin1080p_WT

It is strictly forbidden for anyone to make claims about any future content based on information that has been “datamined,” especially when these claims are presented as certain or “confirmed” without existing confirmation or a statement on the topic from official Gaijin channels.

A bulk of data in the game files (vehicles, event strings, parameters etc.) goes unused, is experimental, outdated or otherwise irrelevant for the future of the game. When mined, this data is interpreted without any context, and so claiming that anything is confirmed based on this information will inherently be inaccurate. This causes confusion, false expectations, and potentially allows for this data to be deliberately interpreted maliciously to provoke and cause issues.

[mineLo]

Ngl, I wouldn’t be surprised if the patch drops next week Tuesday or sth.

[RenderTenderUwU]

Literally unplayable

[Stona_WT]

Dev Server will stay opened until March 12th (07:00 GMT)

For technical reasons, the dev server may close immediately at any time before the indicated time, so please make the most out of the opening window!

[exeisdefeatable]

Does this mean no dev server next week?

[Lawrence777]

Not sure if the devs know this, But some of us are having memory leak issues where the video cards are getting hung.

Presumably due to lower VRAM graphic cards. Unfortunately couldnt hop on dev this time at all, whilst live remains fine. Not sure if dev are aware, but others faced similar issue as parts of their screen were blacking out due to it.

Not sure if i can even make a bug report on it without much more evidence.

[SPANISH_AVENGER]

Excellent news! I hope to see more fixes and improvements to review over following updates, including many reported since 2021+.

And Merkava’s chains, no reason why they shouldn’t have them yet!

Also hoping to see Ariete’s fins rework and Ventauro II’s implementation.

I will look forward to it!
