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

Dev Server Dev Server Changelog

Vickers GBT 155 rate of fire seems to be way slower then what was suggested by Vickers documents?

10 seconds “best” reload for the ready rack when it could fire 3 rounds in 13 seconds and intense (in game sustain reality lol) a 10 second reload after that.

Currently way slower on both sides of that equation. 13 seconds on the ready rack per shot, and 18 seconds(?) after that. Stock reload ofc, when ace crew it goes to 10 seconds ready rack and im not sure for after that, but still worse then the 6 rpm of the document.

Is this changing or need a bug report?

Ooooooh

ACLOS?

With a BR increase to 14.7 right?

Is that it, is that all the Typhoon reports you could be bothered to fix?

Nothing for the Harrier of course

The Patton family of vehicles really just ping-pong their gun handling characteristics every few years don’t they?

M47 went from good gun depression, to atrocious, to good again.

M47 went from average turret traverse, to incredibly fast, to average, to incredibly fast again.

M46 has went from decently fast turret traverse, to mediocre, to now decently fast again.

In the whole update, I’m most curious about those points.

Could it actually be that the Stormer HVM becomes useful?!?

From Discord discussion. It might need work

Test room wise it feels like its become an ACLOS system, which is exactly what it should be.

I do wonder how it works in a live setting though with enemy dodging and ping considerations.

Why the hell did they cut the Su-30SM2 radar target illumination from 8 to 4? And they didn’t even write about it?

So relieved that yall didn’t get rid of the A/B variant, the D or C5 alone just wouldn’t cut it.

Like…how can the f-16c weigh more than the sufa wtf? I’ve compared the performance of the new f-16 against the sufa, and it’s worse in every single aspect…

GB keeps eating good.

Awesome, it will be nice to finally have a not fat Mig-29 with IRCCM missiles

Glad to see that the Stormer HVM can now randomly miss its target even when you are pointing directly on it
Thanks…

With the expanded use of these bombs, it would be cool if the bomb model could be updated to reflect the true appearance of EGBU-24 and further differentiate it from GBU-24, the same way other Enhanced Paveway EGBUs are modelled

It got worse
The missiles now can just miss on their own because they are spread out much more
