Love the update so far, but can you guys put out a news blast that players who haven't bought a Heli pack can't access the Heli tree yet because they didn't read the changelog?
It's a bug, it should be fixed now.
yall are hype about the helicopters but no one noticed the RB SP reduction for tanks, its a good start but they shouldnt have SP costs in GROUND RB
4:34 It's Mi-24 of Czechoslovak Air Force, not Czech Air Force...
Does the m247 have radar?, if it does then its not working, and if it doesn't can you add it then plz.
My Bitdefender flagged aces.exe after this patch. (Threat name: Gen:Variant.Graftor.298654) What is the reason for that?
The reason is bitdefender. It regularly flag and false positive our game for some reason.
My aces.exe also got automatically deleted by Bitdefender, so if someone knows how to fix that without reinstalling the full client, please tell me!
Its all fine with this new tech added but have they even bothered to fix the ATGMs teleporting rockets?
Gaijin I have a serious question that I need answered. I have not yet arrived home to play and am waiting to go home. Is the FM for Helicopters in general fixed?
It was improved quite a lot, but the developers want to work / refine some area in the following weeks, as far as i know.
New update always welcome ,new additions takes the game further ahead but as usual its mainly for the top tier players never anything for those of us grinding away at the tech trees hoping to get there eventually.
What about fixing quite old sound bugs? Sound department is sleeping? -ammo and tank explosion only audible from short distance -all tank's shell impact -tank's shell hit sound
btw,Today it's my birthday and you released this update.Best gift i ever had,thanks Gaijin ❤
