Q: Can old April fools updates be brought into custom battles as a "for fun gamemode", it would fun, and a great way to relax.

[@Apollo_JP05]

It would have been nice if they made it into an arcade mode and gave us a big rewards too

[@andhikamaharetsi625]

Thiswould be cool

[@Suo_kongque]

@@Apollo_JP05 nah, I think just having them as custom games would be fun. No need for rewards, gaijin probably wouldn’t add them anyways if there were rewards, seeing as how a lot of the events didn’t give rewards or cost repair.

[@version229]

Q: For planes, is fuel spread out amongst the fuel tanks, or is it centralized? (Ex: each fuel tank in the F-80A has at least some fuel it)

[@starfighter1043]

I'm not 💯 but I'm pretty sure if you would take a full fuel load there would be fuel in every tank and like a 10 min or 20 min fuel load would centralize the fuel in the fuselage first before filling the wing tanks...I could be totally wrong tho but I'd assume that's what they'd do unless it's more common for aircraft to fill the wing tanks first then that's what giajin woulda went w

[@fdenrico9861]

They've talked about this before but it's so long ago, if i'm not mistaken, it's spread evenly between fuel tanks, so if for example your right wing fuel tank got hit and catch fire, by the time the fire went out, you'll see that you lose several minutes of fuel, that way you'll get a better chance to land with whatever fuel's left

[@shadowfighter126]

Q: Will there ever be historical events in the game like in the good old days, for example Battle of Midway?

[@napalm5941]

[@jago10ben72]

I can't bear to think of "The Shooting Range" without bruce's voice, keep it up my man!

[@americanhat3766]

Q: Why should I use HEAT shells over the normal shells of a tank IF that tank's normal shells are better?, a specific example; The WaffenTrager's base shell (The Pz/Gr 39/43) has more pen than its HEAT shell at all ranges and angles according to the 'Distance Penatration' plus it fully pens then explodes inside instead of shooting off it's explosive.

[@paramite67]

try to look at the fuze sensivity, some vehicles have an armor so thin that they don't trigger the fuze of APHE rounds, whereas HEAT round fuze is very sensitive

[@Jan191]

You'd ideally want to use that on light targets as you not only guarantee a penetration but you also have a chance to overpressure the vehicle because of the high amount of explosives inside. But to be honest it's not worth switching your shell just to shoot at a light target. In short it's good if you wanna make sure your shell doesn't just overpenetrate and not explode.

[@eesmaaura4961]

Like your example the German 8'8 the stock shell are already the best round you can have which is reasonable to only used it, but from your experience let say you encounter an enemy that you met often that require more than 1 round to kill because from penetration cam the stock round does not detonate either cause of thin armour or the spacing of the crew are very spacious, i.e a SPAAG or a light tank. Than its better load some couple HEAT round to minimize time on target.

[@kajmak64bit76]

@@Jan191 switching shells is VERY GOOD if you don"t want to mess around with weird open tops and light tanks like Werbilwind and it's relatives... it just one taps it... but standard shell not so much or is very weird... either one shot or more then rhat... but with HE it's reliable one shot overpressure

[@kevinl2482]

You don't have to use it. It's only there for the historical accuracy since it could use it irl

[@Estenba_2]

Q: Will we ever be able to test-drive vehicles that you can't research yet in a nations tech tree.

[@mathewmacduff7569]

Q. Since the vautour, mirage, MIG23-27 are already in the game when can we expect to see a F-111A or F-16A added? F-111 (1967) could fit in nicely seeing as the sweep wing mechanic is already in the game and is around the same era as the mig27 (1975) Guided bombs and rockets already have their mechanics in game so would be a nice new addition to allied tech trees

[@TryingDesperatelyToBeAPilot]

I would have 1000x more fun if you could test fly, not just the the premium planes but the normal unlockable planes. PLEASE add this, because I can't win a single game that would be an awesome feature. I need it

[@Registered_Simp]

Q: When will the USA get the late-stage naval Phantoms like F-4J? F-4E is really starting to feel the feature-creep from the competition against skilled pilots.

[@chubbz_3192]

Q: when could u guys update the tank crew voice lines?? I think it would add more to the games atmosphere if we had more voice lines for tank crews

[@NoOneAlive_]

Exactly, just like GHPC. Those voices lines are terrifying.

[@voyhager3]

Q: Will consoles ever get a graphics quality setting? The older consoles are starting to struggle with the outstanding graphics and physics from the past few updates. Oil, smoke, and large city maps make it a struggle to play the game, and it would be a great help if graphics setting were added.

Q: Why there is a shield-shaped device with the white cross on the rear of most post war German tank? It's present on nearly all Bundeswehr armor and also on the Italian Ariete tank.

[@Kalashnikov413]

[@Tman2bard]

Q: So, how close are we getting to getting stuff like the F-14. BTW, good job using an Ace Combat skin instead of a real one on your thumbnail

You'd need to wait on things like the F-4J and F-4S. This is also assuming things like the F-4E, F-4S, and F-5E get their AIM-9Ls.

Q: can the B-29 get a lower br? At 7,3 it's at the edge of impossible to get to the bombing points at long range maps because enemy fighter jets gets up to your alt faster than you can reach the bombing points. And then there is 50k repair cost. Please change the repair or br.

[@HIFLY01]

I feel you. I don't use the b29 but I use the A2D-1 which also suffers from the jet spam. 7.0 realistic and 9.0 arcade. Its really only good for bombing a base or 2 but fights jets twice as fast. They could allow the bombers and attackers who are uptiered spawn closer to bases
