Some of the first players who entered the game immediately after the update may have lost their accumulated Warbonds. In the next few days, we will automatically restore your Warbonds and add an additional compensation of 250 Warbonds for those who faced this problem.
Very retro UI. Big step backwards. Just like playing back in the 90's
The hud/UI looks really bad for me makes my eyes cross!
Am I the only one who thinks they have completely ruined close air support using rockets? I mean, the patch is good, love the rear gunner sights and the new vehicles are awesome, but you have just gone and destroyed the one ordnance type that made attacker aircraft for nations such as Russians and British good. The RP-3 rockets for example say they will penetrate 44mm of armour yet a direct hit is no longer a kill. I hit a T44-100 3 times from above and only destroyed his track. To be continued.
Worst is a hit a Ferdinand with an RP-3 rocket directly on top of the drivers compartment and it did not even penetrate the armour. I understand the need to reduce the rocket spam that had cropped up in Realistic Battles but a direct hit from an RP-3, HVAR or RS-132 rocket should be a one shot kill if hitting the target from above. It would have been better if you reduced the splash damage of these rockets rather than the overall damage as this would have lowered the kill count in RB. TBC
RisingDead, Before this patch fell you would constantly see players being killed by a HVAR or RP-3 rocket landing next to the tank and splintering through the side armour into an ammo rack or fuel tank, preventing the splinters from penetrating medium to heavy armour would have prevented this happening but instead you had to ruin all the rockets in the game. As a player who likes Squadron Battles, you've just ruined every fighter available. Good work on the patch but please fix the rocket problem. Thanks!
So will tier 5 vehicles cost less rp and sl to get this patch?
nope
they will not be as hard to resherch.
0 german planes :( :(
Yeah, whatever happend to the HGII variant of the ME 262.
I am glad this released today on my birthday, makes day a whole lot better!
Happy Birthday Dominica
Happy Birthday!
Excuse me, wasnt mentioned somewhere that getting to tier VI will take simillar time to get to V etc? Changes to economic coming soon? Also will it apply to premium ( GE purchasable ) vehicles?
They said Tier VI tanks will have similar RP and SL requirements to Tier V tanks. Also sometime down the road after they add more Tier VI tanks they might lower requirements for Tier V tanks. So no, probably not any changes to the economy will be coming soon.
yeet boi i love you gaijin
Next patch can we have the Westland Whirlwind and Westland Welkien please. Oh and the Gloster Javalin, but the one without missiles, the Supermarine Swift and Scimitar please. I think that's it, thanks!
Count me as one that actually likes the new UI
