I wonder, in case of the F/A-18C Late, would only proft the US one or all of the C Lates because same plane?

Dev server update 2.54.0.38 ~150MB

  • small changes to the J15T (and J11 / J10) like afterburner size

  • Centauro 2 received a bunch of 5mm armor on the turret

  • Dragoon turret is now 7.31mm RHAHH instead of 32mm aluminium

  • some new explosion effect added to a lot of ships

So I’m a bit confused here @Smin1080p_WT
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/ODWaYlV5d6db

The book I quoted is not an Encyclopedia, it’s a collection of photographs and scans of various placards from Chinese airshows and absolutely nothing else. It’s not a book that contains detailed entries or articles on weapons with summaries gathered from multiple sources (what an Encyclopedia is), the only thing the book has is photos from airshows. I only used it to provide a clear view of the placard in my photo. You can see that the page in question is a literal scan of the placard in my photo which is a bit blurry. Even with the blur however, you can somewhat make out what the placard is saying and it’s pretty clear they are the exact same.

This book has zero text other than a table of content and the locations of these airshows and the year they took place in. It’s a photo reference book. This book contains a lot of photos from airshows that we do not have access to otherwise. (As unlike the author of the book, we don’t have the means to attend every single one of them and take so many photographs)

Not only that, but when I reported the SD-10(A)'s maximum speed using an AVIC placard and a scan of it from this book in the same fashion it was accepted (Community Bug Reporting System)

Dev: “should we work on making the J-15T actually somewhat enjoyable to play in actual battles?”

Other dev: “yeah no, lets just go screw around with the afterburner visuals”

(And before anyone takes this too seriously, I know that people who work on the visual aspect generally don’t work on balance stuff)

@Smin1080p_WT Is it intentional by the devs that the AGM-154A-1 is modelled off of the C variant?

In-game it has a camera which only the C variant should have as it uses it for terminal guidance.

Will we be seeing it on other air frames or just the F-16C PoBit for now?

This is F-16AM from Ukr btw

Greek 50s have different loadouts too including AGM-84D, and this is a 50+. Do they use Mk 83 1000lb GP bombs, cause that would explain the dual racks.

Surely the accepted PL-12A reports will be implemented by Monday copium

how hard can it be to adjust max speed values behind the scenes, on the statcards and adjust thrust values? like a 5 min job, max

It may take a few days like it did with the I-Derby ER to give them the benefit of the doubt, but if not implemented within patch release then I doubt the accepted PL-12A reports will ever be actioned.

Only half of it is getting a report passed, the other half is praying the devs actually want to change anything.

Probably. But I/we do have to remember the PL-12A bug report(s) isn’t the only thing they could be working on at a given moment. So I guess a delay (even if inconvenient) is fine I guess.

Here’s hoping it’s not sent to “Accepted” purgatory for 1+ years! 🍻

And now… my watch begins. Day 1 of waiting for the update to release:

Yeah, fixing the PL-12A would require quite a few revisions and it wouldn’t be straightforward to figure out a proper propellant and burn time/force ratio. (Of course there’s the option to just linearly scale up the PL-12’s motor based on how much extra propellant it has but this is not exactly realistic)

It’s nice to see that the J-15T’s afterburner clipping got fixed tonight, though the rest of my visual error reports haven’t been accepted yet and those issues remain. One example is the J-15T’s cockpit not being unwrapped properly.

Seeing as how Gaijin doesn’t provide sources for any changes they make, I have contacted Kongsberg themselves for more information regarding their MCT30 system, wish me luck. Could you check to see if the VBCI-2 (MCT30) is still Aluminum 4050 on the dev server please?

I did some quick searching online, and could literally find nothing that said the MCT30 was RHAHH. But I did see a couple sources stating it was an aluminum alloy (wouldn’t be acceptable as sources though, of course), SPECIFICALLY Aluminum 4050A. Why is everything such a damn fight with this company.

Nope, the VBCI-2 still it’s armor scheme like on the live server.

Had exactly that type of metal alloy beforehand. No idea what provoked Gaijin to make this change

I’m not sure either, hopefully time will tell. Would anyone happen to know how to ask Gaijin for sources used, is that even possible?
