Wow thanks a lot gaijin for fucking me over again. I started the game on the PS4 and switched after about 2 years to PC. The only way to buy gold is by using the PS Store, which is fine, but now I can use Premium Time included in bundles only if I am playing on the Playstation. That's beyond stupid and unfair. Now i am forced to play on my old PS4 again if I wand to use the premium account i paid for. Why the fuck?
I don't understand why the Russians are ALWAYS the one who benefits the LEAST from those major updates. I understand that at first & I am talking at least 2yrs ago, they where over powered but now they are UNDER powered at high tiers cause of the F4s, Mirage, & other nations. Why is it that the Russian tech tree is only given unusable jets? e.g. LA-200 & now we have the behemoth Sukhoi If you ask me I think it is time for the Russians to receive something worth while with wide...
tell me why the italian F104 that was supposed to have better engine with more than 8165kgf thrust has the same shitty engine than the german and the other f104g/j... why do you have to scam people every fucking time? don't say the "spade excuse" cause they are the same fucking airplane while the italian shoud have sparrows ASPIDE MISSILES aim9L better slats and aerodynamics better engine and BETTER RADAR/WEAPON SYSTEM.
The Geniere is a nice ship to play, I love the camo. Could you please make more camo's for other ships and sell them for 200GE as you do for many tanks & planes? Also please please, can we get a working EC back for us Captains that love to spend 3h in one massive battle?!
F104A on 9.7 facing aircrafts literally less than half their speed.... What the hell?
It's a nice update, I appreciate all the vehicles and gameplay updates, but I was really hoping to see some updates for helicopter battles as in it's current state it is too painful to start grinding them as you have to "fight" (while in reality you just die 50 times) all the top rank/premium helicopters in your trashy one. It looks like you have to buy premium helicopter if you want to grind them. You should at least separate those with AAMs from those without.
I see you changed the name of the engine of the F104 S and G... the thing is that only the S had the j79-GE-19 and that WAS THE REASON WHY IT COULD CARRY MORE PAYLOAD. now even tho you changed the name, you didn't change the performance... the j79-GE-19 SHOULD HAVE 8160KGF WITH AFTERBURNER NOT 7699 AS IN GAME. so pls stop scamming people and put real stat :)
Im confused on how the new secondary weapon load menu for aircraft works. Could someone explain how to use it?
I love so much the voice of the narrator, his are great!
Thx Gaijin! best update ever! not only for the jets, but the improved servers and fixes!
