Is the smoke shells problem fixed???

When is the damage model and penetration calculator realistic? I think it’s time to correct these two biggest problems in the game.

Good. Can i also hope to see the merkava MK1/MK2 engine bug fixed anytime soon? The engine clipping inside the metal plate behind it is quite a survivability nerf and is here since those tank were event veichles in 2020

Any plans to tweak mach cloud so it’s not obstructing the view? I mean “pilot” doesn’t fly in third person view so why player has to suffer this annoyance when trying to line up a shot? High tier planes that bearly hit mach and hold it get constant mach cloud effect that not add any value to gameplay only adds frustration. Someone will say “slow down” or “speed up” but that’s not the case since there’re situations prevent to do so. All I ask is for more toned down mach cloud effect that is more transparent, I pefer to lose “realistic” effect than gameplay to suffer.

i believe that you should fix the rocket trajectory … one rocket that leave the tube dont fall off… but go straight … as leaving. what i mean… if the i-tow missile goes on the ground… in a straight line… when is used over a hummer… or on the shoulders of the person… they will never make it in production… but for some reason… on 901 you aim somewhere and goes other site… thats something that makes the rocket unusable… and has not the effect… as the MGM-51B Shillelagh that for some reason… lick the ground… even you aim high and in range … to do so… only unaffected missiles where the russians…again…
thats make even weaker the other nations… vs russia… the reworked ATGM in that patch was a full Failure sorry …
