I'm back after more than 6 months. What's new in the game?

[MasserME262]

Hello everyone. I'm too lazy to check every DD so I ask you people: what's new? I saw some new planes arrived for BoN, but idk if there were major changes on FM, AI or spotting or whatever.

Thanks in advance

 

Edit: oh I just checked and saw the new QMB options. Gonna play the hell out of it since I love QMB. Nice addition

Hi and I'm too lazy to search and list all the news from the last 6 month. But at least
here is something I can offer you:
 

This should lead you to the last post about updates, so you can gently scroll backwards as you like.

Cheers

The planes talk to is now like characters from that movie Cars. It's distracting at first but you get used to it. Honestly I find them to be a bit judgey. Always making wise cracks about shooting skills.

 

The crying and screaming when they get shot themselves is a bit over the top imho..... Breaks the immersion.

ah, dumb me. I was planning on checking DD, one by one.... I forgot about this site you posted. Thanks

[Feathered_IV]

Not much. But we got B-17s now. 

[Jade_Monkey]

They expanded the telemetry API to make it compatible with Neuralink, you can now control the planes with your thoughts. That's a pretty neat feature of 4.504b.

 

They also added donkey rides, so you can go from the officer's mess to the plane much faster.

Jason was on a road trip across USA!

[Soilworker]

We have 7 more 109s, 9 more 190s and 24 more Yaks!

 

Also there's a new modern, private plane module coming up with 42,000 Cessnas! 

 

PS: Don't mean to upset any devs, I have no problem with multiple variants but I know it can be a point of contention for some people.

If only there was some sort of place... a diary maybe? ... where all of those updates were clustered together? ?

 

 

[CUJO_1970]

The Corsair roll rate is off by 3.5 degrees per second. There were 67 threads about that alone.

Not much ... Jason was on a six-month road trip

The shade of the paint on the Zero is wrong, please fix. 

[PatrickAWlson]

Let's be nice.  Once pointed in the direction of the DDs the OP responded by about post 4.

What fun is there in that? Poking the bear brings out some really clever quips. It's all been in fun.

They were witheringly brutal weren’t they?

I have not verified the DD myself but i think we can safely say she would make the cut.

 

[Noisemaker]

Did someone mention the life vests and rubber dinghies?  I mean, what a relief it is to be able to bail out over water finally!

[354thFG_Drewm3i-VR]

They fixed the damage model...well sort of. Also fixed pilot physiology. New clouds and skydomes are incoming.

[Guster]

The Ferraris got new liveries.. oh sorry.. wrong forum.

Nothing new, LukeFF still beating the dead horse like always.

I spoke to Jason this morning and the team is committed to making Stonehenge flyable (as a Collector Plane for BoN) in two weeks so that we'll finally have a more fairly matched opponent for the Jug. They are, however, still struggling a bit with the 4K druids and need our help finding credible references for the standard issue druid gear, particularly the sidearm, footwear and period correct hairdo.

I am unreliably informed that the Droid is a direct copy of the Druid with a minor update so presumably they can base the 4K druids on this....................

 

Did Jason let slip that the flying Stonehenges had a very poor glide angle? Feedback from the original test pilot, Rocky Slab, reported that they were good in a dive but had a very poor climb rate so think the Jug is safe for now. I wuz going to say that pilots would have to be absolutely stoned to fly them but I would not want to be seen to be promoting unacceptable behaviours ?

 

 It is amazing how far we can get when bored....................

Was it Janson or Jason that you were speaking to?  Have to be careful there as Jason is known to shut down threads where people put words in his mouth.  Janson, not so much...

Oh, I meant Janson of course - that was a typo ? Anyway, the plane is gonna absolutely rock ?

[BMA_FlyingShark]

The Hellcat needs an FM overhaul.

Carrier landings are way too easy.

 

Have a nice day.

This question is an excellent one. I was always asking to myself who in the dev team is paid full time, including week-ends (team works 24/24 7/7) too keep track of all detailed changes with dates and the precise hour they are released, and then file a weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and yearly report to the community. But more important where are those reports published in the forum. I cannot help here because after an extensive search I must admit I could not find them, and here we need absolutely the second a third quarter reports to answer this excellent question submitted in the quote above. Conclusion I dunno ... sorry

[[CPT]Crunch]

Initial release of the new pilot psychological modeling, but so far all you can do is point the pistol back at your pilots head.

[MasserME262]

hell, came for help, stayed for the jokes. Thanks guys ? 

[BMA_FlyingShark]

Ok, on a more serious note, welcome back and hope you stick with us now.

 

It's really hard to even start telling everything that changed and happened the last 6 months.

Read the forum, read the updates and the DD's and start up the game and enjoy.

 

Have a nice day.

The biggest changes that aren't immediately apparent (like the typhoon) would be the upgrade for the .50s (which are now more lethal), the change to pilot physiology (you don't suffer from G effect nearly as easily as before, for a more realistic effect), and the change to gunners (whose aim is reduced against faster moving targets. No longer are gunners prescient master marksmen on spice. They actually will miss you!).

 

Those were major QOL upgrades, and most welcome.

DM for bombers are horrible. You can now explode a Pe or JU88 with only few hits without actually blowing the plane up. But everything else seems better.

 If your observations are accurate, it may not be their damage models but the recent changes/improvements on some ballistics.

All you gonna need to know is.....

Yep I noticed few days later same thing with fighters. Which makes me think now it's a ballistics change and not a DM change.
