[...]and P-47D-28, will be released[...]

Its all I wanted to read. Thanks for making my Friday even happier, lol.

 

I cant imagine how happy I gonna be when instead of "P-47D-28" it says "ME262"... 

[catchthefoxes]

This is pretty great!! But may I ask if the actual texture on the bullets of the tracers have been reworked? And if the 50.cal got some smoke trails too? It’s hard to tell from the one screenshot. Other than that I’m glad to know that new BoBP planes are coming this fall! Keep up the hard work devs!!???

[Kurfurst]

Lovely update! The tank models are particularly jaw drapping - not to mention that wonderful reddish color, it looks like the red primer paint on German tanks in the factory - quite fitting for a dev update.

Great !! Lets end soon the unfair bug of two guys collide and one survive. Yesterday night I survived a head on ram attack from a 109 with no damage ?

 

 

[photog95661]

Good news.  I was becoming impatient wondering how much longer this update would take.  The new flames effect is intriguing and leaves me wondering how it will appear in motion.  Keep up the good wok!

Yes. I completely agree that it was unfair that you survived. ?

[Mainstay]

Great progress !

 

One thing i would like to mention though ;

When will the damage model graphics will be improved?

Right now the holes and sheers in the places you hit the enemy look like something from a completely different game quality wise.

 

Thanks in advance

Actually I was flying the OP-40, so it was expected that I would survive without a single scratch ?

[JG4_Sputnik]

Thanks for the update. For those effects I think a short vid would have been better though

Looking forward especially to the P47

Cheers

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Excellent work Dev's. Looking forward to TWO high performance Western AC to be released at the (relative?) same time. Should be great fun. Also, hoping the coding goes well and we can get the tankies back into servers without a hitch.

 

Prost!

[CUJO_1970]

Will the current 190A-8 overheating be addressed with the updates?

 

Please and thank you.

[blitze]

Not just liking the eye candy to be had soon but also looking forward to seeing what under the hood has been worked.  Myself in mid stage Kuban career have noticed with the intro of the G6 in my squadron, escort missions with H111's and also now seeing 110G's in the frey mixing it up with the VVS.

 

It was a pleasant surprise to see. 

 

Keep up the great work guys and looking forward to the end of month update.  Goto pack my IR track and joystick for my long work trip ))  Would love to take my pedals too but they would be quite a bit to lug around weight wise LOL.

I'm curious about this as well, everything else looks great and then you see those ugly holes. Not complaining too much though since I rarely pay attention to it.

It looks much better on some aircraft then others imo.

This really needs to be fixed, it makes sense to survive sometimes but not when we collide head on into each other.

[ST_ami7b5]

Thanks for the roadmap.
?

[6./ZG26_Loke]

Looking forward to the Po-2.
As for the visual effects it looks good, but will we also see improvement on the burning ground targets, like burning much longer time and showing giant smoke columns like shown on the pictures?

[keeno]

Great update!

 

cheers

If you where a Cliffs of Dover fan the pace of development would scare you.  ?

I'm just getting used to all the old stuff and new stuff already!!!

[Y-29.Silky]

I just want to be able to see aircraft past 10km. That's all I want.

Looking like we're getting gunsmoke effects? That would be really cool but right now its looking like individual puffs of smoke in the planes wake? Looking at some of the clips it seems clear that it produces a much denser consistent trail of smoke, almost like what the fuel leaks look like at the moment. At the very least in the case of the Browning M2.

 

Especially in the first timestamp you can see it well

 

 

 

 

 

Ohhh man if we could only trigger those ammo explosions!

For experts on this kind of thing.... late war German bombs. What are we talking about here? AB cluster munitions? Different visuals or performance levels for the SC series of bombs?

 

Recolored bombs for late-war German planes and the SD 70 fragmentation bomb replacing the SC 50, also on late-war German planes (SC production ended in 1943).

[Torso]

The lack of even a reference to the P-38 status..or even existence as a collector plane hurts a little to be honest. ?

 

Lots of other nice bit of info though. Looking forward to those FC planes being added for sure.

Thanks for the clip. Look at 6:27, that Mustang got vaporized by the blast.

 

 

[P51DMatt]

Awesome update! It's great to hear a timetable of development for the rest of this year.

[Nic727]

Are new visual effects include smoke staying after crash or ground targets fires?

 

i actually hate it when the battlefield looks too clean.

[=gRiJ=Roman-]

The new graphics Fx effects are a must! Thanks a lot! 

It would be great if they could explain some of those effects, for example, the n3 is the fuel, right? (greenish smoke), what are n2, 7 and 8?

 

Please, let me see the T34 turrent blowing off like in Tiger vs T34!!! pleeeeeaaassssssseeee!!!!!

Hopefully we get that for most tanks when ammo explosions happen.

There's also partial explosions and very fast burning ammo fires but I guess that could be harder to implement.

That and the huge plumes of steam from a shot up locomotive like you see in so many guncam clips.

 

Another good looking update, as usual. I'm eager for that massive P-47 to arrive.

[Enceladus828]

I hope that this update will also come with the P-47 and Bf 109K-4 as Autumn starts on September 22nd, and they plan to release it at the end of September or early October.

"animated tank crew members"  

 

thanks for the Road map 

[JonRedcorn]

The new fire effects look much better. Can't wait for the new planes. Dying to get my grubby little mitts on em.

[PainGod85]

What will be the P-47's MAP settings?

[Stryker07]

It really did too, absolutely folded the left wing and just tore the fuselage apart a split second after. I have to hope that guy didn't know what hit him.

64" at 2700 for WEP

52" at 2700 for Military 

 

Only way we will see higher MAP settings is if we get 150 fuel.

I like the way you think. Unfortunately I don't think we will see it soon, maybe in late october.

[=AD=uumembwa]

What about HE rounds with very high damage?

And possibility to lock tank weapons(not available in 3.005) in the plan solve that?

Which was the point of my "smoke" reply. 

[BlackHellHound1]

The new smoke and fire effects look really good. Great bit of eye candy. 

However, I can't help but wonder if the fuel leak size is related to the size of the actual leak now!?! Instead of 1 size fits all. 

Any chance we can get confirmation?
