Patch notes reflect only key changes, meaning they may not include a complete list of all improvements made. Additionally, War Thunder is constantly being updated and some changes may not require an update. Changes reflected in patch notes are formed by taking reactions and requests of the community from the bug reporting service, forums and other official platforms into account. Bug fixes and changes are implemented in order of importance, for example a game-breaking bug will be worked on and implemented sooner.

From the ingame text; “…ESM sensor…”
ESM doesn’t have its own sensors in planes like EF, or Rafale.
It uses existing sensors on the aircraft, just interpret the results in a manner that enables missile hand off.
If anything, ESM should be in RWR, or similar format.

Please consider these points for the next rounds of Nuclear Escalation:

*Bug fixes (AGM-88 does not cause damage or does not hit EWR antennas. Missiles from enemy anti-aircraft systems passing through trees or water. IR-guided bombs inaccurate and missing moving targets in convoys. And other bugs mentioned by the community);

*Optimize performance (preferably without reducing graphics quality or removing resources);

*Increase rewards to encourage and engage players in the mode. (For Research Points and Silver Lion, it is much more viable to play Realistic Air Mode, because the amount of time you spend on a Nuclear Escalation match, you can play several matches in Realistic Air Mode in the same period of time and get much more rewards);

*Add reward bonuses for destroying high-value targets, such as aircraft carriers and large anti-aircraft systems, and add an assist bonus for all players who damaged these systems. This would generate a great incentive for teamwork to destroy these targets. (We would have a risk versus reward issue, where the more important, dangerous, and difficult the target, the more rewarding its destruction will be);

*Add new maps (either completely new maps or adapt existing ones);

*From these new maps mentioned in the previous topic, add new scenarios based on historical conflicts (Gulf War, Falklands War, Iran-Iraq War, Vietnam War, Ukraine War, and more…);

*Add new features (RCS for weapons, hit/miss rate of interception of anti-aircraft systems, modern strategic bombers with cruise missiles, among other features suggested by the community);

*Remove or reduce cloud intensity. Or another option would be to add thermal sight capabilities to see through them;

*Increase the stabilization limit of modern targeting pods above 30 kilometers. (Currently, you lose aiming stabilization in targeting pods when attempting to target targets beyond 30 kilometers, making it difficult to search for and use stand-off weapons at long distances);

*Making access to nuclear bombs more difficult should be sporadic, tactical, and a reward for performing good deeds throughout the match. (Currently, players perform very little action in the match and manage to access a nuclear bomb and destroy an entire airfield, jeopardizing all the efforts of that team that is striving with conventional means to destroy enemy defenses).

I can understand the speed issue with Pampero, but why also change the TNT mass from 4Kg to 3Kg? I don’t see any report
