Escape from Tarkov Dev Tracker

True, but the price of the mosin skyrocketed during the player driven economy event which suggests that something isn't right with it. The combination of it being an easy one hit kill to the chest, very cheap, easy to get hold of and almost guaranteed to come back via insurance makes it quite unbalanced in a risk/reward game like Tarkov. I have a few suggestions for balancing it:

- Make insurance less reliable for items that are cheap, relative to the players wealth. So a new player would get every mosin, every magazine, every little bit of gear back like they do now, but experienced players would not.

1. How is Hideout upgrading gonna work?

2. There's been sight misalignment specifically with the Val/VSS in which almost all reticles are above the point of impact, haven't seen anything in the patch notes about this. Is this a known issue for you and if so, when can we expect it to get ironed out?

Big thanks, man. You're doing gods work with this game and I'm happy I can be part of it!

Are there any plans to remove Macros from the flea market? As it stands, a player without macros has to get very lucky to get the item they are after.

How's the progress with the smartphone app? Is it in development, or still planned?

Is direct x12 possible with this game?

Any plans to make the mosin more scarce? I agree it should be powerful but making it so available leads to everyone using it because it's so unbalanced from a risk/reward perspective.

Is the ballistics, sniper rework (functional bipods maybe? :)) coming this year or is it planned to come out later before release?

Is the animation overhaul that You have presented almost a year ago coming anytime soon? 0.12 or 0.13 maybe? :)

If everything goes well; how big of a deal do you think the unity engine (and sound engine) upgrade will be for performance/stability?

Will the compass and VOIP come with 0.12?
