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

Ah, ok thanks.

I missed it in the changelog

US top tier uncooked?

Does this include the J20 as well?

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…

Early variant btw

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

any news on the rp and sl requirement reduction for rank 8 and 7 planes?
since a new rank was introduced

Also i think you forgot +10 issues with the jas39e, 12 pylon flares are cool but id like my rwr to be 360°, my maw to be functional, my hmd to be the targos 2 and ill skip over the others issues.
