was resetting all of my controls really necessary?
It shoyld be "fourtanite son" instead of "the Valkyries". BTW cant wait to hear the new SFXs when i get power back!!!
Will our ships be eventually wiped?
Assuming you refer to helicopters then no
Umm I am wondering whether why we have to get the M48A2 G A2 to go down leopard 1 line even though it cuts off and does not fit with the rest of the tanks? Why not put it just before the Kpz? Now research is all fucked up and it takes 2 more months.
@Gaijin question about the Valkyries update. Regarding tank spawns in RB were reduced by half. I've noticed now that it's now possible to lose 10s of thousands more silver lions to repair your vehicles if you on the losing team. Is there any consideration to reduce repair costs due to the ability to spawn many more tanks? Currently it's better to leave to avoid losing the extra silver lions so it kind of negates the extra spawn points.
Yay I'm finally live! but seriously this is a exciting update. Keep up the great work Gaijin!
I believe I saw a statement in the changelog that stated that we could purchase GJN with Steam Wallet money. I have attempted to do so on both an OS X and Windows platform and the Gaijin Market still does not show an option to purchase with steam money.
launcher cannot download update, says Launcher self update failed,,, Comeon Gaijin whats going on,,,,
The UH-1 cannot use SAS in Sim battles, makes it a tad difficult to use TOW's , and will we be able to use Helicopters in sim EC games, cannot use them atm?
The helicopters are suffering from constant side-slip and are utilizing aircraft flight controls instead of helicopter flight controls, instead of moving left or right they are rolling like aircraft, and instead of being able to turn they act as if they have rudders like aircraft and refuse to turn and instead point a little left or right and return to a default position, and instead of being able to go down and up on their y-axis like a helicopter should, they want to dive at the ground or fly
up on their end like an aircraft, and they pitch and yaw like aircraft.
LSPRaven, Their hover mode works like it should and levels it out, but it doesn't do it correctly, and instead raises the helicopter up jerkily and levels it out over a period of about 10 to 20 seconds, instead of switching to hovering at its' current altitude like an actual helicopter does.
