Thief posted:also explosives in this game have been mostly nerfed into fireworks and hardly represent the actual horrific damage they can do In the typical Gaijin approach they nerfed the ordinance instead of addressing the underlying cause. Namely planes can easily spot ground vehicles in these games.

Even if it were significantly harder, watching for MG fire, cannon fire, scouting tank reports, etc would still make CAS viable.

My AB stats are still horribly inflated from old AB where the Yer-2 could kill 60 ground targets in ~3 40 second reloads and the low tier Brit lineup basically guaranteed you like 12-15 kills a game. Especially the Beaufighter and Boomerang  EDIT: Kinda hosed up to think about how long ago that was now Mazz fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Feb 15, 2018 |

My early thought is this: 1) Normally ground vehicles only show up when the plane is within 500m of them 2) Any vehicle that fires will show up at 1km for a few seconds 3) Spotted vehicles show up 3km out 3) Tracers render normally This should be able to be handled server side by just not sending the client the information about non-visible vehicles. Ideally there would be a system where it would only render vehicles specifically where the player is looking about (like a 10 degree arc of view in the center of the screen) but I think that would be too vulnerable to cheating

Taerkar posted:My early thought is this: That seems like a weird artificiality. A grey Tiger hanging out on a sandy beach is visible from really far away, and it should be. A green T-34 sitting still in a green field probably shouldn't pop out the way they do in game, though. But my complaint is harder to fix, in actuality, I suspect.

That would effectively require people to buy camo. And I know it's artificial, but simply put spotting stuff from the air is a lot harder when you're actually flying a plane and not trying to die compared to a video game.

Ehh... M900 would be ok. But M1IP is pretty necessary for protection. Theres gotta be another Leopard 2 as well because the prototype wont be up to snuff. T80B for Russians maybe?

No matter which M1 they choose it gonna have better protection than the Challenger 1 and it gonna be just a smidgen slower than the Leopard 2K so I'm pretty sure the 105mm will be the single thing keeping it back from being overpowered as poo poo. Keep in mind Challenger 1's LFP is a glaring weakspot vulnerable to RPG-7s and whatnot. Even XM-1 will be tough loving nuts from the front.

Might be really drat good if they include decent 105mm ammunition. It wouldn't be great against the T-64B, T-72B, or T-80 but would be plenty to punch through the T-64A and T-72A hull at the ranges you usually fight at on WT maps. I want a proper Leopard 2 and the T-64B. Don't really understand why the Leopard 2K is gonna be a thing if they're going whole hog into the 80's.

free hubcaps posted:This would essentially confirm AAMs this update too right? I think that was all but confirmed by the strings for Nvidia highlights including "missile_evasion" event which some people try to explain with ATGMs or dumbfire rockets but it doesn't really make sense to me because with those it would be pretty hard to actually judge if it was a miss or an actual evade (particularly considering how finicky the hit detection is to begin with. Now, I'd not be sure they're confirmed for 1.77; they might come in the next one, or go into some new form of CBT sometime in between, but i'd say they're 100% coming sooner rather than later.

E2; gaijin gets a lot of poo poo (and a lot of it is justified) but god drat, I could probably just stare at their models for hours, the detail is just incredible. The fact that there’s a pretty good game built around them is all the better. VVV  VVV

Yeah it’s going to be very much on ammo choices, if the M900 is in it solves any real issues. My concern was/is mid-80s gives potential for things like the T-64BV, as already mentioned in that leak. They have always represented Russia well in terms of vehicle choices and there are a lot of good tanks on paper in the 80s there. Either way them going balls deep into the Cold War is very much my jam. Game is way more fun when the tanks are actually capable and fun to drive. I really hope the early ATGM helicopters they mentioned are still on the table soon. I wanna waste a bunch of spawn points by missing my two HOTs and crashing like right loving now.

So that Magach 3 could be pretty good for a high tier premium, no more crippling cupola weakness, more power, and all ammos unlocked. If you can actually get the M48/M60 fully researched and don’t get wrecked by a cupola APHE shot, it’s a very solid tank. Also you can uniquely gently caress w/ any nazis you run into.

If it didn't, it will be a pretty decent 7.7. If it did, it would be pretty drat great even at 8.0.

MrLonghair posted:RB EC lineup This is pretty accurate, I just spent two and a half hours as the only player in a match. Was okay for research, 36k rp in a stock tempest with no way to effect anything except soft targets, if I'd had bombs unlocked or an attacker of some sort in my lineup I could've probably gotten more. Queues are also incredibly stacked on the allies' side right now, not many people queuing for Germany.
