Its been reported and under investigation by the developers. As far as im aware so far, it came down to an Arcade modifier that was applied to the weapon treating it like a pure A2A unlike the other ATGMs. Against air targets it hardly ever worked beyond 8.6km, It was only really evident on stationary or slow ground targets as the missile had more inertia even when the motor technically "stopped".


As I understand it will be corrected with the modifier removed.

Of course there will be some Golden Eagle premiums too. Once again, we are a free-to-play game. Premium content is how the game continues, funds development, pays employees etc etc. Its all very well to complain about premiums every patch but without them the game wouldn't exist at all.



Im not sure how its more humane when once again, this is a free-to-play game. A company and a business. As the only store premium of the update, its the primary piece of premium content that actually funds the update, the game, the vehicles/fixes/content in the update and development.


The vast majority of blogs we do are on entirely free content. But of course we are also going to share and promote our premiums too. Nobody is forced to buy them at all. But obviously some will and clearly people do want this machine.



Im not really sure what re...

Because its often just not the case of having sources resulting in an instant fix. The sources may be flawed, there could be many other factors in play or it may already be an ongoing investigation.


It still doesn't change the fact that many bugs and issues, including key vehicle issues like this are fixed, but go completely ignored because "this one" hasent been fixed yet which instantly means "bug reports dont mean anything" to some people because they overlook the whole changelog and everything that is being fixed because its not whats most important to them.


The vast majority of bugs are fixed, its simply confirmation bias that because "this" report wasn't, the whole system is deemed to not work when it clearly does with the evidence plain to see.


You are welcome to hold your own opinion and thats fine, but its not for this topic.

You are entirely fine to hold your own opinions


All im making clear is the facts are clear as day. You are welcome to go back through my posts, I made it very clear that as soon as we could post a note worthy update, we would as we now have. All pinging me did every week was disappoint you more and lead you to get more and more hostile despite the fact we were doing all we could to help. You have made you frustrations very clear.

Comment

Meanwhile, bugs are fixed on a near daily basis in their hundreds with over 1000+ every major update too: https://warthunder.com/en/game/changelog/


But yes, because 2 have not been, that instantly invalidates the overwhelming majority that have clearly.

Comment

This message as I said was always planned to come for some time. I made it very clear when we have news to share properly we would. This update was always planned to be made, it was a matter of time and development factors.


As I explained to you previously, whining or hostility was not going to speed that up in any way I reminded you that we were working on it and would share news when we could. All you were in fact doing was just mocking the messenger, not changing any of the facts or development at all.


We fully appreciate frustrations why it has been gone for so long, but thats because we are trying to work on the previously raised issues and improve the quality of the mode overall.

Comment

Just as a heads up on a few details


1) This is the only store premium coming this patch.

2) We typically always lead the dev blogs with the premiums. We are a free to play game and premium content in updates is what actually pays for things.

3) This is the same with every update and nothing new. We don't just decided to randomly throw out premium dev blogs. They are pre-planned well in advance.

Nope. They are, as we made clear, gone for good.

Comment

Its too early to give full specifics (we will publish all the terms), but it wont be a build event or marathon. It will just be a rare vehicle you can research for a short period.

Comment

As we said, it will return at least once a year for research in an event. Its BR wont be changed.

Comment

Best submitted as a suggestion then with evidence and sources so it can be discussed and voted on by the community in this case. I have not see that one

Comment

As far as im aware it has all its historical loadouts?

Comment

As we already said, this is the only store pack. Its possible there may be some GE premiums, but not "quite a few" I would say.



Too early to say for now.

Comment

To be clear, we removed paper vehicles because they were paper. The Somua SM was a fully built and functional prototype, which have always and will always have a home in War Thunder.


Its very clearly not to your taste which is fine, but it was a suggested and requested vehicle by French Tankers.
