Aircraft

  • JAS39C, JAS39EBS HU C — a bug that prevented the radar page on the MFD from showing up has been fixed.
  • FA-18E — excessive bank angle after tight turns while using mouse aim control has been fixed.
  • JAS39E — a restriction on the combined use of the under-fuselage SPICE 250s with the LITENING III targeting pod has been added. The Battle Rating in Ground Realistic Battles has been changed from 12.7 to 13.0.
  • CCRP has been removed from all nuclear bomb carrying aircraft, as it wasn’t of any meaningful use on them and could instead interfere with the bomb drop if the point of interest was activated accidentally.
  • OS2U-3 — engine name has been corrected from R-985-48 to R-985-AN-2. (Report).

Ground Vehicles

  • A bug that caused the penetration and damage of 76–105 mm HE shells to be slightly overestimated compared to 120–155 mm HE shells has been fixed. This was due to using a linear, rather than quadratic, approximation for how shock wave parameters vary with distance.
  • BMPT, BMPT-72 — a bug where destroying the ATGMs and/or automatic grenade launcher’s ammo pack would result in the loss of the vehicle has been fixed. A bug where, when switching between gun belts, the sight, fire control system, and rangefinder would take into account the ballistics of the first belt, not the currently selected one has been fixed.
  • Ajax — a bug that caused the Scout UAV to lack thermal vision has been fixed. (Report).
  • Type 03 — a bug where the launcher vehicle was not located next to the TDS vehicle when viewing it in the hangar has been fixed.
  • TOG II — a bug that prevented the 76 mm howitzer from working has been fixed. (Report).

Naval Vessels

  • USS South Dakota — full name in the stat card has been corrected. (Report).

Interface

  • A bug that caused the key icons in the Controls menu to be stretched vertically has been fixed.
  • Khrizantema-S — a bug where the radar indicator fill was greatly stretched horizontally has been fixed. (Report).
  • An issue where markers would be missing in replays in the sensor view when watching the player’s view while the player was controlling a ship has been fixed.

Customization

  • F/A-18E, FR-1 Fireball, J-10C, MB-326B, Rafale M F3-R — additional camouflages have been added.

Xbox

  • A bug that caused the game to frequently crash has been fixed.

Other

  • A bug where battles may end early with no rewards being given has been fixed.

its a clipping issue because they modeled the pylon wrong, not a limitation IRL, it makes no sense to remove that loadout just for that

I would be surprised if we get a fix within the next 4 weeks since gaijin most likely wont consider it a “major problem” or bug+Infantry mode CBT gonna start somewhat soon so a big focus of gaijin will also be on that

I think their hoping it won’t bug the rest the game

14

saving controls on pc creates a file on your desktop so im not even sure if it would work for consoles

15

its does save them but when you load a controls scheme its all messed up, for me it even changed one of them to be R on a keyboard (I dont have one)

16

oh i thought you ment it wasn’t even an option for consoles

17

no it is an option, its just unusable because of how broken it is lol

cant use Hotas because of it

Sounds more like a balancing decision than anything else. The cap has been 6x FnF on Fixed wing for years, with the F-16i increasing that to 8 (though they are glide bombs at heart). So they probably wanted some restriction to mitigate being able to take 16. Like not having a Tpod.

But its stupid considering:

though as we have seen with things like BOL modeling, and other things like many many missile modeling, this statement is rarely actually followed

16 SPICE-250s with either 2 SPICE-1000s or 6 Brimstones was in no shape or form balanced, you can still run 18 FnF weapons you just have to choose not to have a TGP which is more then fair, people complaining about the nerf just want the most OP thing they can think of lmao

The first part, I agree with, that kind of loadout is quite strong. at least in a pure A2G, as in that config, your only A2A is 2x Aim-9M.

The second though, not being able to use a Tpod with the Spice-250s does seem kinda extreme given the fact that Spice-250s naturally mitigate themselves being glide bombs with more limited range.
