I’m a software developer and I can tell you right now that either the “fix” wasn’t tested at all or the tester was on something when they did it as it was screamingly obvious it wasn’t fixed with about 5 minutes worth of testing. Again, it’s a lack of care and not giving a crap.
And then they wonder why people get so angry with them are are so hostile, it’s a problem of their own making.
I’m not a software developer but I do a lot of coding in Python for data wrangling and statistical analyses. If we released an analysis as broken as this situation, and left it like that for this long, we would be in serious trouble. Game development in general seems to be much more relaxed about testing and quality assurance, but GJN absolutely takes the cake. I’ve never seen another company leave a gameplay element unplayable for this length of time. Then again, most developers don’t have to dedicate time to “researching” sources to justify their decision making.
Honestly they could just pick the lazier option and give us either Starburst or LMM. Or they could pick the even lazierer option and leave us with this broken mess.
For some reason, I keep hoping that the stormer air defence will be dropped in quickly to help.
Stingers and a 25mm cannon on a stormer chassis. We have the gun, we have the missiles, we have the chassis. It literally just needs the turret modelling and we’re good to go.
Our research shows the warhead on british stingers was actually replaced by styrofoam in order to attempt to reduce the weight, therefore the missile will only deal kinetic damage.
On further development we’ve found that the foam in fact contains healing properties that apply to Russian aircraft, so on detonation they act to repair already damaged control surfaces XD
