SECOND DEV SERVER | New Skins, Cockpits, Sounds, & More

[@jaek_898]

By the way, the viper demo team and Iraqi air force skins are only available for 200ge, you can't unlock them with kills. The bushmasters camo needs 185 kills in ARB and the gamblers camo requires 375. MiG-29's Algerian camo requires 375 ARB kills.

Dude I’m so psyched for “missile incoming”sound

[@Kumyar]

That sounds is primarly a "hard" radar lock. The RWR doesnt actually know that a missile is coming, unless its a Fox-3 when it goes active.

[@matthewriley6446]

@@Kumyar 🤓☝️”uh actually” stfu it said missile in the rwr. so I’m going with that

[@Kumyar]

@@matthewriley6446 I know, but still thats not a "missile incoming" sound. Unlessy as said bf, its a Fox-3 that went active. This fast paced sound is your RWR saying, hey the radar strenght i recieved from this plane became much stronger and i think he hard locked us and there is probably a missile coming for us.

[@kajmak64bit76]

​@@Kumyarstill no... A lot of RWR's can detect difference between being locked on and a missile is fired There are 2 different things... 2 different sounds... You can get locked on and tracked without a missile... once missile is fired some RWR's knows this and detects a difference in like signal or something and you get a Missile Launch warning

[@Kumyar]

@@kajmak64bit76 I havent heard in WT this missile being fired sound. It was always search tone and when you got locked. Now they made it realistic-ish. I wonder if you're gonna get Fox warning if enemy shoots at your friendly near you.

[@ace0fdiamonds]

I too am not a fan of the new vehicle pictures. I liked how they made them time period appropriate, gradually getting higher quality as the ranks increased.

[@jacobsong6199]

i agree it makes it more unique

[@kajmak64bit76]

Fun fact some of those pictures did not follow that blueprint I think for example BTR-80A was black and white or something despite it being Post Soviet Russian vehicle

[@Cavernsparten]

I think the 3d renders are ok for the newer stuff, but I liked the period-setting that comes from the images for the older vehicles. In a way, it's something that makes each vehicle stand out far more than just having a 3d render. I disagree with that change for sure.

[@GeneralLee2000]

OK that circular radar indicator is interesting.

[@devingraves8044]

Genuinely devastated by the change of the stat card pictures, that was pretty much the last bit of old warthunder left

[@ToreDL87]

Don't worry, we still have imbalance to keep us grinding, powercreep to keep us grinding some more, and the same sh*tty old gamemodes (effectively Ferrari's in Destruction Derby at this point). You can safely hang around for another 10 years 🙃

[@ODST_Parker]

Good changes overall, except for the awful stat card images. Someone should get slapped for even allowing that idea to get this far, and someone should be knocked out if it goes through.

[@cainthegreat3056]

C'mon, they don't look that bad. I do like the classic picture stat card better though

[@ODST_Parker]

@@cainthegreat3056 They wouldn't look that bad if they were there from the start, but what they're replacing is much better. Not bad on their own, but a bad change.

[@No_Feelings]

The 9km ACM mode change for the F-16 may be accurate but damn, I really have no reason to use this thing over the adf except the 9M. Great video, you quickly turned into one of my favorite info channels in the past few weeks.

[@dawae3080]

hmd????, better cas and radar it is much better

[@No_Feelings]

@@dawae3080 the HMD is only for seeker slaving, i don't play CAS because I don't play ground + the pantsir exists, the other F-16's radar was already good enough.

[@dnfluffles772]

@@No_Feelings on top of what dawae3080 said it also has TWS mode and more thrust from its upgraded engine.

[@Kumyar]

​@@No_Feelings Sad they didnt give us radar HMD. I dont understand why. It can absolutelly do that IRL but i guess Gaijin draws a line where realism stops.

[@haloskillplayer]

​@@dnfluffles772the added weight nullifies the engine upgrade significantly and the ADF will beat the C without much effort in a dogfight

[@ryanwilbur3554]

My man using that Gran Turismo 3 dealership menu music. A real banger!

[@marty4286]

I think they did the new thumbnail style because you can automate them. Just have a program to load a model, orient it in a preset way, and you're done. With the scenes they had before, you actually had to set them up, pick a nice camera angle, and basically pose them with the terrain in the background in mind, and so on I'll miss the old thumbnails for sure, they definitely looked better, but the part in me that likes efficiency and wants them to commit more time to worthwhile things is okay with the visual downgrade

[@boxtankgamer6014]

AH-1Z got the 9M too

[@log1125]

this is my first vid coming across your channel, i really like how u put a ton of info into such a short video, i think if u continue this kind of format u can be pretty successful

[@Blanchboi]

Inside the F-16C's cockpit I have two issues: 1.) There is a brown smudge on the canopy if you look up 2.) The HMD looks awful (it's just 2 circles). It should, at a minimum, show locked targets outside the HUD. At best, it should basically show what the HUD shows.

[@televisio8652]

Takes too long to code. The 29 didn't get it's correct HMD either. In the 29 there is only 1 green circle which then follows the enemy plane once locked on and starts flashing when you are within launch parameters.

[@Kumyar]

Real F-16 HMD wouls be an overkill in the sim battles. The situational awerness would be unmatched. Until F-18 comes.

[@adrianstachowski9422]

@@Kumyar yeah and this is why f16c is so good in real air to air combat and this is why blk50 absolutely shouldn't be added in this patch

[@Kumyar]

@@adrianstachowski9422 Agreed. Should have gone for Blk 25 or 30. Why they jumping this far ahead is beyond me.

[@FairFireFight]

the digital gauges screen on the SMT was always a thing on helis.

[@Thisious]

first ive seen side by side missile comparisons

[@tnterror8085]

How will the smokeless motor do anything unless the missile diamond is removed or reduced (I mean I guess you could still spot it if it burned out and you see the trail if it didn’t have a smokeless motor) Edit: I would like to know what it does, does the missile diamond disappear or change in any way?

[@SpencerBaum]

It'll be huge in ground RB. Basically makes the missile invisible and unflareable. If your team is getting recked by enemy fighters, an f16c with 6xaim9m could just out the entire sky

[@jaek_898]

Right now if you look around right after a missile has burned out you can still see the smoke plume hanging out which makes it possible to know there was a missile launched at you, seeing smoke plumes has saved me quite a few times even if the missile diamond is already gone. Without a smoke plume that won't happen.

[@Mikestriken]

@@jaek_898 As of the current dev server is the diamond completely gone for the Aim 9M? By your wording it sounds like the diamond is still there even with the smokeless motor.

[@televisio8652]

​@@Mikestrikenit is still there and it better stay that way. There would be no counters for the 9M if it had it removed and would make the polarization of match makings in favor of only 1 country.

[@BlessedSeal]

i have a question, how do i test drive any plane in the game even if its locked

[@Kumyar]

Unless it is a premium, you cant untill you started researching it. Or if you bought vehicle before it.

[@macekeeks3085]

The 530D changes are massively effective it went from a pretty average missile to one of the best bvr

[@Kumyar]

One of the best? Eh.. it still has 45 sec battery so if you turn cold, it will quickly self destruct. Basically you have to use it at a super close range. Both R, ER and 7M outrange it.

[@macekeeks3085]

@@Kumyar Range doesn't mean shit tbh if the seeker cant see that far and if you can honestly tell me someone is firing sparrows from 40km and maintaining a lock. The speed is the second best for radar missiles. It is the most efficient game when it comes to energy now and it pulls 30gs how is it not one of the best if not the second best to 27er. As well as soon there is a report that is being investigated all 530s don't self explode they should simply keep flying straight till another target is painted or till battery dies which is 55sec not 45sec.

[@Kumyar]

@@macekeeks3085 I just cant agree on the "range doesnt meam shit". If that was the case, noone would invest in research and production of long range AAM. But we know that range does matter. And AIM-7M, with its monopulse seeker, will absutelly have no trouble seeing enemy targets. Coupled with great radar of F-16C with max range of 38miles it simply outclasses Super 530D; 25miles.

[@macekeeks3085]

@@Kumyar I'm sorry but you will never fight at these ranges irl has nothing to do with it situational awareness is so much higher in warthunder the most you fight at normally from game to game with sarh is like less than 25km and from my experience having a Mach 5 missile with better acceleration and amazing auto pilot makes it far better than the sparrow

[@adrianstachowski9422]

And in typycal gaijin style, every plane receives the same rdr sounds which is F15 radar search ping and F14/F18 (present only in F14 and F18) alert xD It's litteraly 15min research to learn how rdr sounds in different aircrafts -.- Same with voice warning system. Same with smokeless rocket engines present only on aim9m while aim54c should have it also. C'mon, they're trying to implement cool modern stuff, but every single time gives 50% finished work

[@jaek_898]

AIM-54C's motor not being smokeless is correct for the thrust and burn time or so I'm told. They had several different motors and apparently even variants of each motor.
