Discuss it here!

Please note all specifications and dev server details are subject to change and NOT FINAL.

The calculation for protection against HEAT ammunition operates incorrectly with the current algorithm for “volumetric” shells. The anti-HEAT protection of vehicles is overstated at the moment.

We will raise it again with the devs.

The cat is not a lie. When the cat is able to come out it will.

I said stay tuned to the news, not necessarily for the cat alone. There may be something else soon™

1.101 is the technical patch number name for the update. We have made many patch numbers in the past such as the 1.70.1945 update.

Just for clarification, we made no mention of a "2.0" or any promise of such a jump after 1.99 / Starfighters. There was no deception here. People freely assume whatever they wish and speculate whatever they want to come, but that does not make it deception on our part because people speculated about something without any word or news from us.

We showed details on the stream yesterday.

Not with this patch.

We know what variant it was and as I said, its not these two.

Neither of the two in this update are the correct variant of the German one. So not for now.

Yes because we would defiantly add a Helicopter barely just in service and with missiles not even finished being trialed and with literally no meaningful information to really go on

Nope. Its not the Wildcat and that wont come anytime soon at all.

Your bug reports were not deleted. You did not follow the guidelines and combined several issues into a singular topic all clustered.

There are no Italian ground vehicles this patch.

Dev Streams and Dev Servers are always very much preliminary and often dont show everything that will be in the patch.

Can you PM me the reports for the radar and any other F-104S reports. I will see where things currently are.

Right now, as you saw from the test server today, the only one we can speak about is the F-4E. As was said on the stream other nations will get them too, but as for specifics, right now we cant say.

At this stage, no.

Blue.

And sorry, I must have not been paying attention, I always say hi back in game

Yes, they will receive an aircraft.

Given the amount of times people asked for the 2A6 in blogs this week, its now pushed back to 2026
