yay more time to pray for challenger 2 buffs
also @Smin1080p_WT sorry for 2 pings but i have an actually useful question this time but could we possibly see the aim120d on the eurofighter or gripen soon as its arguably still worse than a mica (in its current state)
Currently its not planned for the Eurofighters or Gripen to receive AIM-120D right now.

It’s not needed. Can’t wait for Meteor or ASRAAM next update when they add the F-22 though.
Doubt
When is the update dropping geez… so much devs and no live servers
Where’s the agm142?
i mean the aim120b and c-5 compared to the mica on the rafale isnt exaclty a fair match and considering the rafale is the eurofighters “competitor” i guess u could say i dont personally understand it
That is a incorrect interpretation fo the source then.
It does state Sigma1, that is the average spread for ~50% of the shells, and then it stats max spread.

Is there an updated changelog?

do you have any news on the improved auto pilot being added to the aim-120D as stated by BVVD?

I know everything is subject to change, but if that new HE shell that the Centauro II and Arietes got remains as it currently is it should be pretty nice for bonking ground vehicles.
3 kg HE filler is good enough and 1050 m/s makes it one of the faster HE rounds at top tier.
As a follow-up to show just how mindboggling using the figure for KDA and KDE is;
This is the Vector GA35
This is the Oerlikon 35 mm automatic cannon type KDE
How does anyone even believe that the source for GA35 is even remotely viable as a source for the two oerlikon cannons, when it is literally a completely different gun?!
At the same time, what @Smin1080p_WT said previously doesnt paint the whole picture
The brochure quite literally states the maximum deviation values right below the typical (1 Sigma) ones.
or does “max” mean “maybe, nah actually 0.6mrad max means 1.66mrad max”
Even if you argue that the values above it are more “reliable” this still does not, in any way shape or from, justify nerfing ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CANNONS on the sole bases of “can fire same ammo” (it cant fire all rounds that KDA and KDE can btw but who cares if we are now nerfing gun dispersion based on a completely different gun, eh?)
After double-checking, it turns out it fires ammunition that vastly differs from the oerlikon ammo:
Differing values are;
- Much higher max and average gas pressure (KDA/KDE: 385MPa max)
- Different Muzzle-Safety (KDA/KDE HEI, HEI-T, APHEI-T: 20m)
- Different Tracer Duration (KDA/KDE: >4s)
- Different SD time (KDA/KDE: 5.5s)
Edit 2:
I just realised that they flat out lied about the dispersion it had previously:
Before the changes, the maximumDeltaAngle was 0.08°, which corresponds to circa (<) ~1.4mrad, i.e. 1.4m at 1000m and NOT 1.3m as they claimed.
They then ALSO lied by claiming they increased it by 15% to 1.5mrad, i.e. 1.5m at 1000m as they changed the maximumDeltaAngle to 0.095°, which corresponds to 1.66mrad, i.e. 1.66m at 1000m.
1.3m * 1.15 = 1.495m
even using maxDeltaAngle its still a lie:
0.08° * 1.15 = 0.092°
Datamines, DEV-version: 2.54.0.20
Reference: Smins response
The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Ninth Wave”! — 16.03.2026 (Dev Server is OPEN) - #1570
So ig the new summary is:
→ Takes source for GA35 that lists typical and maximum values
→ Ignores maximum values and calculates them based on typical ones instead (arguably justfiable)
→ Nerfs two ENTIRELY UNRELATED AND COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CANNONS (KDA/KDE)
→ Lies about previous ingame dispersion value
→ Lies about new ingame dispersion value (or accidently messes it up, idk)
This is so incredibly absurd and dishonest in every single way you can imagine it.

Oh, hey, hey!
I am VERY glad to see you are finally venturing into implementing the new physics to the side skirts and mudguards of tanks!
These may only be a visual improvement; but it really makes tanks feel A LOT more dynamic and realistic. Excellent job!
These are one of the main highlights of this update for me.
I just hope you give the Merkavas their famous chains… that would be the cherry on top! :D
Also hope to see these physics added to Type 10s’ skirts, ZTZs, T-72/90s, and more over time. Good job!

It has 0 IOG drift = updated autopilot (I guess, idk)
Any plans on updateing the Pz IV Ausf.E and or StuG III Ausf.A model, they are also rather incorrect and heavily outdated.
AGM-84Hs…nice.
