Another thing to mention related to anything with a first stage ammo rack replenishes rounds into that rack at a uniform 5 seconds now. This is a huge buff to things like the french Somua and Char25t. You basically will not run out of first stage ammo unless just spamming shots. RIP IFVs that don’t use ammo belts though 😂
Bruh my beloved CV9040s are almost unplayable now with 24 round ready rack and slow ass replenishment they should have give it at least 48 rounds ready rack
@@gumerk.7721 you mean strf9040? also how about no
@@gumerk.7721 look how they massacred my boy
this appears to be a generic change to first stage / autoloader reload times on every vehicle. The Japanese 5.0 Chi-Ri II should also benefit massively from this.
That battle pass AMX is not worth it. France needs missiles at 7.7
return of the king
I really love this channel c:
The temperature affecting contrail height and shells was actually an old feature, it has been in for at least 2 years that I can remember. But the contrails were changed to look better and thus, more people focused on the altitude difference of them
What i also noticed is that the swedish tech tree saab 105 has now custom loadout aswell, which means you can finally take the gunpods and the AIM-9B's like the premium can. This small change makes this plane very strong imo.
Oh, good to know! I've always hesitated buying the premium one because of that, now I don't have to :-).
@@G91YS The Sk60b also got the custom loadout, but you can only take either the gunpods or the Air to ground missiles and some rockets
Since the update the 105G also has single drop bombs, which is totally busted with CCIP + the 30mms on top of that. I've been regularly getting 4+ ground kills per flyout now
@@iciclespikes9332 Any tips to grind sweden air? I've done all of sweden ground 100% but struggle to get anywhere in air. I even bought the SAAB 105 OE (on sale) and it's still a very long process compared to ground
The one with proximity manual missiles is still more fun to fly
My favorite features are the removal of armor on some vehicles, the complete destruction of model hit boxes ruining 3d decorations, the ever increasing silent and unrendered tanks, the flickering buildings and the shells that pen and don't do any damage
Don’t forget an other Russian spaa that doubles as a tank destroyer with bugged firing sounds, so it can sneak up on you, or shoot you without revealing where it is.
Skill issue
1:23 this was already present before, it was just at higher altitudes. they lowered the limit for them to appear (And also changed visual effect)
And then some sperg in reddit started calling gaijin the devil because "their bomber is now visible from all over the world" as if it didn't happen before this update and nobody look for a dot 4km up in the sky
@PiscesSoedroen a bonber is very easy to spot even without contail we gained more then lose really
they didn't change the limit at which they appear at all. the effect is completely new and fully replaces previous contrails
@@GewelReal Yeah, surprising that so many people think it's the same old effect. That one wouldn't render at long range. Also pretty sure they didn't lower the altitude required, it was always dependant on the climate and weather of the map itself. I notice hot climates won't have them until pretty high alt...
The AMX M4 has faster reverse speed, which makes it much more fun to play. Had a ten kill game in it and a lot of that was helped by that one change.
An additional Q.O.L. change is the addition a second colour selector in Air options:
It allows the ability to have a "Green" HUD / Radar Scope and "not green" U.I..
I would never ban maginot. It's my favorite map. Now Berlin, on the other hand...
i really dont like berlin honestly. it's so easy to turn it into an immediate spawn snipe. although it is fun to go down the stream center to the map and flank around C.
Also, the challenger 1 and 2, my favourite vehicles ever, previously toook like 40 seconds or more to restock a single round to the first stage ammo, which is only 4 rounds full. And now it takes like 10 seconds which is pretty pretty nice
Can confirm that it didn't take 40 sec more or less around 20
@@SeductiveWalrus depends on the crew, also i cant recall correctly, it might be around 30 for me but i sure remember it was longer than 20
@@fly_pie_1172 oh yeah i forgot about crew upgrades💀 now that I think of it i do have an almost maxed out crew for my mbt slot
and now it takes like 2 minutes to stock up the magazines of the strf9040's
pretty wierd that 120mm 2 peice ammo is just as fast to restock as a 40mm
Also for the Char 25t the commander can now fire the gun and I think that the amx 13 dca 40 had its horizontal guidance speed buffed but I'm not too sure on that
char 25t had commander gunner before this update but i do think the DCA-40 had a buff
Gaijin forgot that leaves fall down before winter and that the weight of the snow would definitely get rid of them on Poland
I'm not that sure if this is actually new but I've noticed that the x-ray crew models of open top tanks now move with the actual model, for example the head turning or the arms moving with the gun.
It's not new, they always moved, wether in X-Ray or not
The MiG-29 slats in the top of the fuselage wasn't only to allow the engine to breath with the intakes closed during takeoffs off unprepared runways but they open up during high AoA to prevent compressor stalls as the low pressure environment created from doing a high G pitch would starve the intake of air. That's its only purposes.
Very cool info. Didnt know about the contrails. Nice addition to the game
The T-64 apparently got a new engine sound. I don't have one, was wondering what it sounds like now.
A lot cleaner 🤌
They also buffed dm13 and made it very good. Leopard 1 and turm3 are even more op now
The number one change WT did for its future was switch up the maps after every game..kinda boring to play the same map on my mig 29 for 48 hours..ty WT for that change
I remember when I first noticed the slippery ice. It seemed like it was the first time my teammates saw it too, leading to 4 Super Pershings haphazardly sliding to the A point (Poland in the variant with the single capture point in the middle)
My first time seeing it was watching a BT-7 get their left track shot out as they rushed across Winter Poland and just started spinning wildly on the ice. Like none of us shot them either we just watched in amazement and shot them when they hit the beach.
0:40 tried to be cheeky there about the previous update huh
I really do hope they add Camo nets I can never get my bushes to look good so I don't use them on many vehicles.
mig21bis and f14 also got animations to their intakes
yes, the bypass vents in the MiG29 are meant to be used when on a road/dirty runway, since during the cold war everyone was training to take off from roads etc, the intakes of the mig29 closed and used only the top vents for air to avoid sucking up pebbles or other objects/FOD (foreign object damage).
i wish they add the info of the missiles when you put the mouse over them, also i will love the posibility to load missiles and bombs clicking in the phylons of the planes
He has returned!
Not sure if this change was added this patch but I noticed my ad-4 AD-2 and AM1 were no longer spaded. Magnetic bombs and fire bombs were added for modifications
1:07 those are called louvers and they absolutely were already functional in Apex Predators, together with the intake ramps
The Na-To’s crew is now contortioned horribly.
you missed the adding of an actuator sound for when you use afterburn. Its on the f-16 anyways , dunno about other planes
They also chanched the ammount of fuel of some planes or i just noticed on j28 that minimal fuel he could carry was 11minutes and now its 10min, i know useless info but still a small detail
dont forget that aircraft bounce up and down on ground RB, making infinite explosion noises! E sports ready right?
Not sure if this was added in an older update, its possible to test the APS systems in test drive mode for Tanks that has it. like the T55AMD-1
that was introduced when APS was introduced into the game and it was even in the sneak peek dev stream
How?
@@duncancruickshank5377 go right from spawn to the circle
One thing you forgot is the removal of the manlet for the vickers mk1 lmao
I always wanted to ban all versions of maginot line and now I can because this was the only map I got
a lot of vehicles have new loadout too like beaufighters and brigand
X-ray view has been around before sky guardians
air temperature has been there long ago
just turn both IAS and TAS on and you'll see it
IAS is the one that rip your aircraft apart
The mig 29s top vents open for unimproved runways and for high angle of attack manevaurs not low speed
I didn’t notice it during apex predators, so did they add incendiaries to a bunch of the low tier German bombers? Just saw them I’m the loadouts recently.
They did! In fact, almost everything that can carry bombs in the German tech tree can carry incendiaries now
3:40 Oh yes, removing umbrella is easy, but for the trees, just place snow over it. Don't remove the leaf lol
gajin tries to make a cockpit for a british strike/bomber plane 'impossible'
I can hear Ryanberry
Idk if it's intentional but the ready rack no longer comes loaded and on spawning your crew individually moves the shells now
the snow version of some maps are also different from the normal version. some hills missing or obstacles removed.
Those are the older versions
@@thethyphoon. When winter poland was added, like before the current update which is like 3 months ago, it got the rocks at the pond removed. Thats not an old version.
@@petrkdn8224 exactly, serversk also made the hill north of A way smaller. Its almost flat ground now
Good day, Huh no mention of the new visual effects of soot/smoke leaving the funnels of vessels ntm when at idle as well as if they're raising steam to get underway in the hangar/port.
Who needs a smoke scream when your ship billows heavy soot (to bad we only have a Pr.1143 and not a Pr.1143.5 as ohh the terrible jokes we could make).
another thing to mention is the B-29 got 4000 pound bombs
I don’t know why you’d ever remove the camo nets from the 2A4…that’s pretty much what you’ve paid the money for it.
nah. im banning all versions of Mozdok. Bro you can see each others spawn from the moment you spawn in. and the side with the high ground is also massively at an advantage
really dont get why gaijin is so inept that they can't design a single big map that isn't just immediately spawn sniping bro.
How many years was the 2S6 damage model missing it's ammo, Gaijin moment
2:04. It's always been, lol
Hes back!!!!
It's something I just don't get about gaijin, they probably spend 25% of the development time adding small qol features that improve the feel of the game without you explicitly noticing it, but they seem to don't care about BR Décompression, airfield camping, spawn camping and all those annoying that make the gameplay suffers. Maybe we don't play the same game but it's quite impressive how their priorities are different than ours.
HE is nerfed. Try the Me-262 A1/u4 and you will no longer one shot bombers and fighters.
Where were you guys? Like there was no teaser indepth video
also, winter poland has no sniper hills near the town
1:01 Can confirm that reddit thread was wrong those vents have been animated since the mig 29 came out.
I hate that the snow version of poland doesn't have the rocks near the water robbing the right side of the map from much needed cover.
You forgot 1 thing:
Soviet 100mm APHE ammunition is now similarly broken by tilted armor as 85 and 122mm. Before that, all 100mm APHEs were like the Soviet 100mm. APCBC
wdym
Also many American Aircraft guns have been reworked like the Browning, M2 Browning, AN/M2 cannons and more
Yeah most of the cannons are next to bloody useless now
i haven't missed them i'm just not at a high enough br level to have experienced most of them lol.
Pretty sure the camo net thing has been done before
I like magniot, but I utterly hate the stalingrad factory map.
Scout drones sometimes have contrails 💀
Cool vid 👍😎
Banning the Aral Sea map is based.
BTW F-14A in game doesn't have its lead indicator when it does in real life
It wasn’t mentioned that the Tunguska would be nerfed to shit either, but hey, a surprise X-ray change isn’t that terrible.
Bomber cockpits will come, any day now.. You'll see..
0:26 or they'll add it as a feature you'll have to pay for, like the bushes.
Didn't that update add ships to the airplane top-tier test drive?
0:40 did you change the update to Apex Legends? 👀
0:52 why is it Apex Legends not Apex predator xD
I swear this is the most sleepy update ever 😴
Aaaand I still can't ban Alaska and Ground Zero...
They should merge maps with their variations, therefore we can put a like on Poland and Poland (Winter) at once or dislike or ban both.
The new sound barrier is just a nuisance , its not that's ugly or unrealistic but the f5c and a5c experience right now at sea level is just constantly having 80% of your view blocked because they both barely break the sound barrier and you need to let go of your afterburner if you want to aim at a enemy, just add a fucking button to remove the visual effect already...
They really should either make it more realistic (it's not a 'must happen' event during mach breaking) or make it so it's half invisible from player perspective
Something I noticed is that the Chieftain recieved a nerf to it's APDS penetration (320mm to 298mm) while the L1G APDS for the Conqueror and Conway received a massive penetration buff (363mm to 487mm)
It's an even bigger kick in the nuts for the Chieftain Mk.5 since it faces 9.0-9.7 quite often.
Dm13 had a huge buff too. 300mm to 350. Leo 1 and turm3 are even more op now
buff? have you seen angle pen on early APDS shells (like Conqueror or Sherman Firefly)? It's an absolute joke now and makes the shells almost useless
@@GewelReal I'm not sure what the angled pen of the L1G APDS (Conq and Conway) was before, but it is currently 0% ricochet chance at 75 degrees and 50% chance at 78 degrees which is great and puts it on par with virtually every other APDS in the game
@@Naughty_Neko what the fuck are you on about???
Waiting for ww2 camouflage nets or sandbags
Yeah boi!
The char25t had 12 rounds in its autoloader before the update
it did not
0:56 haha apex legends I see what you did there
mig-29 vents were animated just not completely
Sometimes i spawn with empty ammo racks, its a bug ?
0:48 "apex legends" lol
On of the 13 details that Gaijin missed is the 9M37M SAM still can't lock onto a Helicopter or drone within the advertised "Locks onto all aspects of targets within 3km range."
Russian bias though right? Skill issue Right?
Broken game
I think it sucks that all recent WT focus/media/content/yt vids/all-anyone-cares-about is top tier jets.
... I've been playing daily for years and I'm still only using early war piston engine low tier aircraft because I'm an actual WWII era flight-sim enthusiast. Like 90÷ of my entire play time has been spent in the P-40😅
another difference ive noticed is the maps that are now winter also have the effect that aircraft smoke trails happen at a much lower altitude making them easier to spot when looking up
Which map should I ban to avoid as many EC maps as possible?
you shouldnt avoid maps but BRs. above like 7.3 you get EC maps in RB
@@petrkdn8224 point is I want to play the game and the 16 vs 16 + over hypertrophic maps makes it a toxic third party meta after you spent 5 min flying strait wiggling your eyes back and forth because you don’t have a radar
@@legendbee9579 then don't go into the middle of the fight expecting you will have a 1v1 when there are 15 other enemies.
Literally side climb
Where did you go?
The map ban thing was already like that though.
nope, it only banned one version of the map not all
@@petrkdn8224 then how come when I had a map banned, I never saw any version of that map? I remember wanting it so we could choose which version of a map we could ban/dislike but that was never the case. I checked the map rotation filter as soon as it came up in the vid and I saw nothing different about it.
@@ElectricGrapes which map did you have banned
OTOMATIC got new card picture
actually, the vents were animated in apex legends
Yeaaahh buddy
remove bushes as cosmetic and add camo nets BOOM best update ever
idk, countries like sweden use camo nets that make them almost invisible to thermals
0:41 Apex Legends 💀
0:22 Not just a pure speculation but more of a big possibility of camo nets being introduced into mbts & ifvs in the near future. Proof? Look at the Magach 3 premium for America, didn't have a ERA package, but a update introduced it as a free upgrade & other tanks got ERA packages shortly after n history will repeat it sooner or later after this feature was introduced
bruh why is the apex predator turned into apex legends in 0:44
cant see shit with the mach vapor cone
Anyone else notice it says apex legends instead of apex predators at 0:41
Can someone please eject from the f104, and tell me if seats goes down or up. If it goes down, that's historically accurate
That voice 😩🌰
