Holy poo poo this patch is looking to be pretty awesome already. The new upgrade system looks pretty sweet, there is a video that somebody made (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cte9iIuvuQs) where they go through some of the different upgrades of the planes. Its pretty sweet looking since it looks like you can actually get stats on performance for different weapons loadouts in realtime. Also, the 190 is getting its rockets

German/Russian planes will get the upgrade options to stack on more cannons, meanwhile my merican planes will get an extra 50 cal or two

drat, this is shaping up to be a pretty serious patch..."drat Russians posted:Update 1.33 brings us one step closer to the release and adds some really important gameplay changes, that will provide players with more freedom to choose how they want their aircraft tuned and prepare it to attain wide variety of combat tasks. The most important changes to be introduced in 1.33 are consumables and new modification system. Modification system basically means that a player will be repairing his war-beaten aircaft. 190 F-8 is getting its Mk103 gun pods

quote:Crew that took part in the battle are now blocked in the game for five minutes after quitting the battle. (or until the battle ends if it ends earlier). That will prevent players from leaving the battle. Does anyone know if crews are also stuck if they have all been shot down? If one is flying in HB it's not totally fun to have to wait for 5mins/ the match to end until your plane is ready again. Or related to arcade if you lost all Planes and the battle is still raging. Though that didn't happen in a while for me. Well Mechwarrior Online (another F2P) also added a "Unit locked" mechanism. And consumable which you have to manually rebuy after each round. Seems making your game unfun to use is the new thing. VVVVV Tank Boy Ken fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Aug 1, 2013 |

quote:As it is known during WWII new pilot in the Squadron did not receive new plane when he joined but most likely he would get a worn craft. While flying his steel bird a pilot and his fellow mechanic adopted the plane to specific tasks the pilot needed to attain, they replaced and added parts of the craft, tuned armament and customized defenses of a plane. So we are implementing this scenario for War Thunder –the player will be replacing worn parts with new ones, thus his aircraft could reach characteristics of a reference model . Read more details about modification system and consumables in the upcoming Devs Diaries. Emphasis mine. I don't like this. At all. It's World of Tanks level grindy bullshit, where a tank isn't competitive at all until you upgrade everything, at which point you're about to move onto the next one. I'm really hoping that isn't going to be the case. I don't like that ammo racks etc are consumables either. I assumed having to buy them after every battle was a glitch. Even if there's an auto replace, it's bullshit and another step towards WoT level bullshit. quote:Crew that took part in the battle are now blocked in the game for five minutes after quitting the battle. (or until the battle ends if it ends earlier). That will prevent players from leaving the battle. No, no, no, NO. Part of what I love most about this game is if I'm having a loving terrible round I can just exit, forget it existed and start another round. I don't loving know why they're insisting on doing bullshit like this. Is taking a great game and turning it into bullshit a Russian developer thing or something?

I liked this game because I didn't have to grind planes for historical battles. These changes make me...nervous. I also don't like having to sit in a Historical battle after I died. I'm dead. Please let me leave.

I'm not sure if I like those grinding WoT changesm either, but at least this quote:For the planes that have 1st and 2nd pilot DM is changed, so both pilots should be knocked out in order to lose the plane. That applies to: Is nice

I dunno, from the looks of it the upgrades won't be that expensive, and it isn't like WoT where you have to spend xp before you can even begin to spend money. Call my optimistic. VV

Eltoasto posted:Personally I would play around a bit until you decide on the nation that suits you best, then get a package that gives you a premium plane in that country. It's what I wish I had done! Each nation plays a bit different overall. This. I bought a fancy Japanese plane and I don't like playing it. I ended up being drawn more towards the German and Russian fighters.

Man I hope you guys are right and this isn't World of Tanks type grind. As others have repeated, that's part of why I like this game. WoT's grind was just too much, even though I made it to Tier 10 almost twice, spending a bunch of time just to make the vehicle/aircraft optimal is frustrating.

Taking into account things like armor angle, spalling, etc. This will be so awesome and I look forward to the day when I log into WoT for the last time because a better game has finally arrived to scratch my tanks spot.

I never even got to Tier 10, I gave up and got really disillusioned when I realised I was having the most fun in stupid little newbie tanks that I felt ridiculous in. At least with WT most of the fun is equal from tier1-10 which have planes that you don't feel loving stupid in.

I think (hope) the crew cool down is if you quit before all your planes are dead, which I can kinda agree with, also a lot of those changes have me a little worried, 30% reduction to plane costs now though!

Didn't think the devs could gently caress the game up even more than they already did. Then I saw they literally added a WoT style upgrade tree. How long till they put in hitler eagle upgrades?

Reloading belts better be automatic and cost about nothing. I really really hope you can only pay eagles to get things early rather than pay for exclusive mods. One of the top selling points is that pay to win is not currently a thing.

You just have to ease into the controls to avoid getting that wobble. If you just turn the camera around and let the instructor try to fly for you it will flop about at high altitudes. Rockets on German planes... Quit crying about free games you fools.

So they're going all World of Tanks on this bitch. The gently caress. Crew lockouts, upgrade trees, shell racks being loving consumables. You have a fun game! The solution isn't to go full Russian game dev on it.

Anyone see the screen shot of the 109 F4 getting the 3x20mm cannon attachment. Why is there even a need to play higher tiers? It has since been taken down. Also aren't we already paying for weapon and ammo reloads? Been in the airports all day have had plenty to follow and read.

He nose dived right into the ground, I took some wing damage and kept on trucking.
