Update 4.002

Dear Friends,

Our team is glad to announce that we finished another update 4.002. In this version, all Tank Crew owners get the SU-122 assault gun. In addition, everyone gets many improvements - some of them our community asked for a long time. After additional work on the aircraft visibility modeling against the clouds is improved. We also added automatic dive-recovery controls to four bombers from Battle of Stalingrad and Battle of Moscow. The login time has been drastically decreased, it will now happen up to ten times faster than before. Tank and aircraft turrets aiming will be more convenient and there are many other minor improvements. Let's go into detail about the automatic dive-recovery controls:

Good job, thanks. Looking forward for FC bug fixes in the next patch

[TFS_Knuckles]

44. Bristol Fighter will correctly register radiator hits;
45. Pedals animated correctly on Bristol Fighter;  

 

Thank you for this, even though this appears to be the only aircraft improvement for Flying Circus.

 

Are you still planning to address the bugs that were reported during early access? (Albatros D.Va overheat at normal temperature, S.E.5a compass inverted, Halberstadt CL.II gun angle)

2. Guns and MGs aiming using the mouse has been improved;

 

Does this also mean that the multiplayer gunner animations on the Bristol and Halberstadt are now smooth?

Thank you for your hard work again.

I'm very happy to read about the contact altimeter and the auto dive recovery system.

And the rest too off course.

 

Have a nice day.

Dive bombing mechanics - this should please a number of people.  Also some more AI fixes - I am starting to feel a new career coming on....

 

So I have purchased the new collector planes: can the morse code on every page stop now?  

[[APAF]VR_Spartan85]

Holy fak guys!!!! Devs take it easy and stop being amazing!!!!!!

[Ribbon]

[Trooper117]

Stop the blinking morse!

[PapaFlo]

Wohooo! Dive Recovery - finally! Oh, thank you so much!

Well done, guys!

[Max_von_Wuthenau]

Fantastic!

[danielprates]

Allright! Dive recovery systems for the planes that historically had them!  This was a big one still missing, many thanks!

[Guest deleted@134347]

but it's only Tuesday... .. ?

 

? ?  Far out, guys! You rock!

[Barnacles]

Well I guess that's what the morse code message was about. Nothing more to see here...

 

[KG_S_Kalle_Kalutz82]

This is certainly welcome!

 

Some news about the micro-stutters and freezes which many people including me are having since 4.0 ?

 

Also, when we get switchable fuel tanks and mine shells?

Just curious

Great news concerning AI! Thanks for your work devs.

Improved a/c visibility with clouds in the background is very welcommed too.

Spoiler

Still sad for the silence concerning MP stuttering, pilots protruding the airframems and also lacking info about at least some Rheinland map improvements...

[namhee2]

Big problem: if I choose a tank with QMB, until now the SU122 and T34, I'll get to see a black screen ...

[keeno]

Superb work, thanks!

[IRRE_Golgoth21]

[wju]

nice work thank You!

 

.. unfortunatelly, "No wind" option, in custom settings still does not work  ?

 

[CCG_Pips]

Hi Manstein...

 

You say Yes, but you show the picture of the system........so it is arcade or not from your opinion ?

[R6ckStar]

Has anyone decoded the morse?

I'm not mentioning this, i'm talking about the fact you press a button and bam, you are in a dive....

He is saying Yes to golgoth believing that it is arcade mode and presenting evidence to the contrary.

[Lusekofte]

I love improvements. AI in special. 
I like updates like this more than new stuff. 
 

Thank you very much

[BornToBattle]

Awesome work devs! Wow. Didn’t even realize there were that many improvements yet  to be made.

 

So does this mean the previous Morse code announcement concerning possible PTO will also arrive here within a few hours...nyuk...nyuk...
