What's Changed Since the Last Beta? - Broken Arrow Dev Blog 8

[@lovepeace9727]

I don't really like that USMC lost it's HIMARS as that's what they have irl and rely on quite a lot, but ehhh, Marines also don't have any tanks irl, so whatevs. Everything else sounds awesomepossum!

[@colemangeiger8757]

Thanks for the work!

[@Bandanner]

You are welcome.

[@chrisstopher2277]

I don't know, man. I was infantry from 2009-2015. We were pretty squishy. We took a monster VBIED at a smaller COP and the building collapsed killing 6 soldiers inside. It's depressing as shit but it happened.

[@Bandanner]

Well that's depressing :(

[@operator9858]

Drones were not terrible in the last edition. They could almost guarentee destruction of targets with saturation and were some of the best recon units...

[@tomfahey2823]

No wonder they're delaying the game - they're going absolutely balls to the wall with these additions and customisations! Really looking forward to the upcoming biter!

[@dfmrcv862]

Nukes are pretty cool, but I'm more hyped for the conventional changes like being able to assign better protection to other tanks and infantry. Can't wait to find out what the next specs are.

[@Bandanner]

Nukes just make for pretty screen shots and videos really haha. I agree the other changes are very welcome.

[@RomanHistoryFan476AD]

I do worry though though the Nuke will end up like the one in World in conflict. something not really used at all by players.

[@Bandanner]

@@RomanHistoryFan476AD well I don't think they want it to be used loads, I think its more for fun... but we will see.

[@dfmrcv862]

@@RomanHistoryFan476AD I'd argue it probably won't be used as much given all the other bombing options available, but I think, if done right, it can be a strategic weapon for some play styles, which is what Broken Arrow is the most about. That's what I love about it, it gives you so many options given the modern arsenals that exist.

[@WurstWesen82]

Not a fan of nuclear weapons though, but the changes sound good so far. And BETA comes from the greek alphabet and is spoken like the US boys do (for once they are correct) "BATA" not "BEEEETA". 😛 Sounds like "Peter! Tea is ready!"

[@Bandanner]

It is from the greek alphabet and is pronounced "veeta" (yes with a v sound, though some argue ancient greek sounded more like a b ) so not like the US boys. You have engaged in epic failure please do your research! 🤪

[@WurstWesen82]

​@@Bandanner Very cool. But the "e" was my priority. But all right.

[@Bandanner]

@@WurstWesen82 you seem confuse still, the "e" sound remains correct in greek 😉

[@WurstWesen82]

@@Bandanner Old greek. Not new greek.. My bad.

[@OniTenyuTTV]

I wasnt going to say anything about it, but I will say that linguists and etymologists modern american english is significantly closer to how england used to speak english than current UK english speakers, so we probably say it correctly. However the greeks pronounced Beta as Vita so really were all wrong and it should be pronounced Vee-tah.

[@Bandanner]

So you admit you are wrong Yank! Glad we agree.

[@OniTenyuTTV]

@@Bandanner Im not above admitting it, but at the end of the day we're wrong because England taught us wrong.

[@Chuc503]

I believe SRAW's pronounced as "Sch-RAW"

[@АлексейКиселёв-н5т]

10:25 A little bit wrong. The stress is on the first syllable. Skr'ezhet

[@Bandanner]

Ooo thank you, not too far off then 🙂

[@RomanHistoryFan476AD]

I was just thinking, if they do add in other NATO nations like: UK for example they are going to struggle to add in equipment in enough quantities of tanks for example since I think we only got 40 functional. Jokes aside though, I wonder if the UK is in game later on will it have access to Boxers and Challenger 3 and even Ajax?

[@Bandanner]

Haha, well if the game is popular enough I expect we will be added at some point. At a guess it might be like a combined UK and commonwealth forces DLC or something. And yes I suspect we would get chally 3 and Ajax.

[@RomanHistoryFan476AD]

@@Bandanner Hoping to see Boxer as the IFV as well, but I won't mind seeing the old Warriors IFV again. UK and Commonwealth together would make the most sense, get the challenger 2/3 and then Leopard 2s as well, along with a lot of US equipment already in game.

[@Bandanner]

@@RomanHistoryFan476AD Yeah I think you are right, we will see probably the warrior and older stuff like a few Chieftain tanks too :)

[@RomanHistoryFan476AD]

@@Bandanner Not sure about Chieftains we don't use them at all now or keep any in storage.

[@Bandanner]

@@RomanHistoryFan476AD No but its a video game and they will need to fill stuff out. Remember they said they aren't going total realism, they can't really for the sake of balance.

[@e-machine-ol1987]

Most American pronunciations of words are actually more accurate to how the words were originally said then how the brits say them. This how ever does not apply in the context your complaining about as far as I'm aware.

[@Bandanner]

Possibly? Though my experience has mostly been the opposite and Americans getting it wrong :P Another example in the past was tourniquet, which for some reason Americans pronounce as tor-ni-ket… it's a french word so it's tor-ni-kay (which I found very annoying being a trained doctor :P).

[@e-machine-ol1987]

@@Bandanner ya that one’s weird, also great video probably should of said that in my original comment but I’ll likely be staying up to date through you and nice guys channels for this game.

[@Bandanner]

@@e-machine-ol1987 haha that's fine glad you enjoyed it. To be fair me commenting on stuff like that just encourages a bit of engagement which is good for the channel ;)

[@josephvip2771]

So what you tink is better warno or broken arrow ?

[@derg1362]

Broken arrow

[@Bandanner]

They are two different games and play differently. Right now Warno is better because its actually out and available I guess. But it depends on the type of game you are looking for. WARNO aims for more realism within reason.

[@justinsantiago9555]

Basically, the only reason I'm gonna buy this wargame is because of the usable nukes (my World in Conflict inner self is screaming at me)

[@xrolando]

wic nukes and carpet bombs were neat

[@azdiamondback]

it's pronounced bay-ta since 1776.

[@Bandanner]

@@azdiamondback Nope 🤪

[@xrolando]

LETS GOOOO!!!

[@Bandanner]

Did you manage to play the last beta?

[@xrolando]

@@Bandanner sadly no

[@johnnydogs6041]

Im not american but how do you pronounce Belgium

[@Bandanner]

Lol not as Baylgium that's for sure :P

[@Ziflin]

Literally just Beljum

[@MrEmre3294]

The problem of this game is evrytng is so sqishy. Usin best full + full tank and dying in seconds. Callin f 35 dying in seconds nothin live longer in seconds so sttachments are useless

[@789panda987]

I'm sorry but it's pronounced ''Beta'' not ''Beta'

[@Bandanner]

Exactly!

[@lukematney7062]

Beta is greek. 😅😅😢

[@Bandanner]

Yes I think we all know that? Incidentally they also pronounce it with an "e" sound.

[@sadglitterbunny]

do you mean BETA like in "beat all people who say it wrong" or do you mean BETA like in "Better learn to speak properly"

[@Bandanner]

I couldn't possibly comment 🤪

[@sasuce52]

you are wrong beta is a greek word and its not pronounced BYtah

[@Bandanner]

It is pronounced veeta in Greek and Beeta in the UK. Thanks for playing ;) No one said anything about bytah? The Americans pronounce it bayta.

[@sasuce52]

@@Bandanner bruh you are saying Vita. That's not how you're supposed to say it.

[@Bandanner]

@@sasuce52 no I say it Beta because I'm British. Not sure what you are saying, you certainly can't be Greek :P

Bayta Bandanner, not beta 🤭
