AP bombs in prior updates were just inferior GPHE bombs. AP bombs now have "penetrationBySpeed": true alongside demarre parameters, the penetrationBySpeed parameter allows AP bombs to read the velocity of the projectile at any given instance, and was first seen aboard LOSAT. This, alongside changes to the introduction of shell-style fusing to AP bombs, makes them actually functional.
Finally!
Assuming deck armor is properly modeled on ships that is
@@KekusMagnus yes it is, the main issue with AP bombs currently is not the penetration, but the fusing is exceedingly sensitive and the fuse delay is disabled, but it's likely placeholder. Overall this is a substantial buff to the AP bomb capabilities and more importantly to kinetic penetration code.
My friend, you certainly did your research. Keep up the good work.
I’m really dumb but does that now mean direct hits from ap bombs to tanks will do damage?
Skill rewards is a good thing, but what annoys me is the fact that they encourage solo play again, you can help your team as much as you can, marking enemies, getting assists, capping points, if you don't kill enemies, you won't get the "skill" reward.
If anything, skill rewards should be weighted pretty heavily towards team play. Like, yeah, keep the incentives for racking up kills, but give team support even better buffs.
It seems good as it motivates you to play more but for each vehicle class the bonuses should be different depending on the abilities of the vehicle
@@paralleluniversesphotograp1830I pretty commonly get 8 assist matches with British solid shot, but only a few kills
The game has always been solo lmao
Oh my god cope dude
can't believe they did city dirty like that :c
It won't change anything, people won't update their tactics from the Medival Jounting they do now.
:c
Its still the same tbh
@@theycallmetray396no it’s really not
Honestly I like the change they made. I never liked having an airspawn.
MH60 didn't get it's guns that was stated in the dev server (The statement also got removed from the devblog for some reason) but something neat I saw was that it also has the Naval "Bear trap" underneath it for landing on the back of ships.
They removed the israel bit from the devblog too. I guess they found out late about some of the stuff such as that israel have a different blackhawk model that they can't just copypaste it
I'm very upsetti spaghetti that it didn't get the guns. I want the funny dammit
1 thing not mentioned. F14s lost their mach drop capability for bombs. They are now sub mach 1 limited
Nooooo
L gaijin
And no base respawn
Or they nerfed it
Good
The South Asia server being removed is probably due to problems with matches where you can't spawn for some reason
Late spawn
The SA servers are still there, but not selectable. If I leave it as "auto" it picks SA. Go figure.
props to zoltan for making the most informative warthunder vids out there
keep up the work
🦾
Another changed thing is in air sim is easier to spot aircrafts, before the update it was virtually impossible to spot anything above 5km, now i have spotted enemy aircraft 30-40km away (it was 11.0 so I estimated distance with radar)
For the night map issue, there is the simplest fix of all time.... JUST GIVE STOCK NV. Bam people don't entirely hate night maps, they're still meh but its not actual suffering. They added a feature to evade them rather than just make it a stock mod. They'd have to give everyone an Abrams then i guess though.
>Confirms horses in WT universe
>Ponies confirmed
"Horses confirmed in warthunder universe" duh, the horse statues man.
But like those could be ancient or extinct now we know they are alive at the time of the game 🤣
Another change that I haven't seen posted is the nerfing of the HE of the Ikv 91. It went from 2,34 kg of TNT eq. to 1,91 TNT eq. because of a change in explosive type, Torpex to Comp. B
Losing the finnish commander shouting SILENCE at the start of a match is truly tragic
The SA server still exists if you had it selected before the update. (Your server selection would be "auto", and SA would be at the top of the que time box)
However since no one has access to it anymore the que time is near infinite. (Only like, 7 people total for 4.0 ARB)
If you uncheck auto you can select any of the servers.
The F-14B also lost it's bomb drop above Mach
Always looking forward to these hidden detail videos!
One of the things I like about the no-airspawn city is that my ears aren't obliterated by jets going transonic at the beginning of the match
MIG-21s can no longer single fire S-24 rockets. that's pretty annoying for me. i loved the 9.7 R-13 premium for CAS
I sincerely hope night battles come for ALL BRs, because i loved playing my M4A1 in dark maps. Add headlights to tanks and we'll be fine. Or, flares that can be called in like artillery
you forgot how every F-4 Phantom, except of the F-4C, got a radar gunlead
They had that when they were added though? It was a really big deal back then? What?
@@nesyboi9421 Every radar equipped plane used to be able to lock and have a lead indicator, even vehicles like the F6F-5N or German night fighters. They progressively removed it until no aircraft had it before they added it back but only for high tier aircraft with recent updates.
It seems like they reduced bomb base hit points in air rb and they either removed base respawning, or significatly increased the time it takes for bases to respawn
So they reversed everything they did for those lmao
Another thing is they have made fuel starvation in the F5-C WAY worse if you slightly pitch down it turns off or if you roll over.
man i was hoping gaijin would add the proper ejection on the f-111
b57 does face radar missiles r511 on vatour
I haven't seen this mentioned in steam patch notes: Italian M42 Contraereo was moved from 3.3 -> 3.7BR and it AP penetration nerfed from 48mm to 45mm flat. :( Wasn't moving in BR enough? They also added a of ammo to it.
UPDATE: They changed it back to 48mm of pen.!
@@porosus2469 They changed the distances briefly, so it went from 100 meters to 5000, now its back from 10 meters to 2000
@@AveragePootis That's dumb.. Thank you for info)
They upped the BR because now it fires its ammo in a longer continuous burst instead of having to reload between short bursts.
@@no-legjohnny3691 That chance happened years ago, and its still one of the worst anti airs in the game lol
Now the 2s38 has a similar pen with the m775…at half the caliber…. Fantastic
Excuse me but what the actual fuck
99% people didnt notice this but apfsds chart ranges now go to 5km so you are comparing vastly different ranges + higher caliber still has far higher angled penetration which is what is necessary
@@petrkdn8224 angled penetration of 120mm or more at the average distance is really all you need when everything is 60mm or less on the side
Yeah and both are unrealistic. It bullshit. 2s38 apdsfs doesn't even exist. That just made it up , but they will ruining us for nothing.
Really wish they’d let us try out top tier planes in test drive so I can get an idea of what I’m grinding 30 hours for
No - more like they should let us test drive anything so we can continue just test driving rather than playing. I feel I'm not the only one who does that lol.
Love those videos! I'm so glad they are rewarding skill and playtime
Great commentary. Just subbed. Hope you go far
So gaijin blocks non aisan players play in asian server but asians can play in eu/us and ruin the game by lagging?
10/10 move.
I imagine it was because data center costs went up in that part of the world. Feel for the Aussi players though...
well atleast aussis speak english compared to asians...@@obsidianjane4413
@@obsidianjane4413 Aussie here. Been playing on 350 ping minimum since the update. Gaijin doesn't love us anymore.
Another one I found is that some helicopters no longer jettison the pods that their weapons were in when ammo is depleted. Significantly more boring than the ones in the video, but there you go👍👍👍
2:06 you might as well play arcade if you want fast matches tbf, RB is slower paced and has higher rewards for that reason
I've been waiting for the F111 escape pod for ages, I'm glad it's finally here.
The RWR for american canberra can be useful as I am fairly confident now that (in EU servers at least) 8.3 barely exists, almost all games in canberras are put up to 9.0+ from my experience, where radar is common and RWRs tend to be very helpful
Another detail I noticed on the Flanders map is that if you are playing low to mid tier at the A point you can find a crashed airship, while at top tier the airship is replaced by a C5 cargo plane
Ummm nice that you brought it up but the truck you showed when talking about Finnish voice lines is Swedish...
🤦♂️
I am devastated that the I 153 has now only 2 bombs 🙁
Snail done did sent South Asia to the shadow realm
I'm dissapointed with the night battle feature not making it into the game, I kinda wanted to play some night battles to see the changes made and even the rewards, it was already delayed so I was convinced it would be available as soon as the update drops.
I haven't seen Night battles for a while and I do like them , hopefully will see them again and more
they lengthened bomb base respawn times in air RB to near 5 minutes, down from less than one. For seemingly no reason, when that change came out of nowhere in the last update everyone was pleasantly surprised, although the addition of the SPAAs guarding them was also really stupid. for the final 2 weeks of the last build, once the SPAAs had been neutered, high tier Air RB where quite a lot of planes can carry ordinance was in a nice spot, since everyone who had bombs would probably get a chance to drop them. now, the days of trying to race phantoms in a harrier for bases are back despite literally nobody asking for it
We need to bring back the hangar guy, and we need to ask gaijin to make it a permanent edition!! I was hoping to play as him this time but he is not there…. : (
WOOOO ANOTHER VIDEO, LOVE YOU MAN
Love these videos, and I’m here 3 minutes after posting, great success
short and to the point. i like it
Night battles comeback was what I most waited for in this update... and Gajin forgor.
this
Finally a Zoltan Video!
hey zoltan I just noticed that on the F16A the right most (L has the (L marking upside down in comparishment to all the other 9L's for a future almost useful knowlage video
What I would like to make aware of is something I just found out through trying it. You can kill the Torpedos in the Low-Tier Italy Test flight that are dropped by the S.M.-79s by using bombs. (I used the G.P. 250) When doing so, you will get a standard kill message with the Torpedo named as "Dummy" in red Writing.
man i really love your videos!
When I saw the F-111 my first thought was if they added the cockpit ejection, nice detail
not just the Mi24P but also the V and probably other Mi24s
They gave the GR.7 an ejection seat!!!
I miss proper night battles
Without flares etc
i and SO many people dont, its not fun driving around blind
@@nattly6340 open your eyes then
Or up your gamma setting... Dont ruin fun for those who want to enjoy whats meant to be borderline simualtor game.
And honestly after those cursed flares got added night battles are just as bright as day battles.
@@IronSinkborderline simulation game? War thunder ain't DCS or ARMA. War thunder is barely above world of tanks in terms of realism.
@@IronSink yea... thanks to the new option you can sit there in your "simulator" (lol) and i can play an actualy fun game where i dont have to sit squinting at my screen or messing with settings just to see
these guys dont know that theres a modification called "night vision" lol. i wonder what it is for~
Lowering penetrations of shells was uncalled for
They nerfed quite alot of them
There are more Mi24s that got the gun pod i think even the new Mi8 has it and those Mi24s that can carry R60s can carry the gun pods
They are not nerfed. Tablet of shell penetration now starts from 100m (didnt saw that in the video by some reason, but you can see the difference between old and new tablets of nerfed shell)
Apparently gjn fixed twisted tablets, but nothing changed (apart from shell in video).
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 so they reverted it back to how it was or no? I looked and every single apfsds from 105-120mm and the weaker 125mm got thier penetrations lowered
It's more of nerf to me since it was applied to weaker shells that already struggled with penetration
Always high quality and interesting content! =)
Your Mach cone is now visible to everybody, it looks pretty sick
The B-57s face the interceptor Vautour IIN which has radar guided missiles, not sure if the radar is I band tho
The italian fireflies now have armor on the mantlets
Southeast Asia servers seem to have disappeared entirely now.
Man, I miss the game so much. 😢
Gaijin goofed up a little with the new gunpods for the Hinds.
They need to go on the inner pylons, not the middle ones, as the middle pylons couldn't handle the stupid amount of recoil.
*Horses in the War Thunder Universe?! The LORE is expanding BOIS!*
Bro, I just came back last week (I play like once or twice a year) and I remember typing in game chat if they ever removed city airspawn id stop playing ._.
On flanders fields on A point on the crashed cargo plane there is emblem im guessing it should be US airforce but it looks kinda like oseas airforce from ace combat
I'm in Japan and now in the situation where I can choose to queue only on the SA server (by selecting "Auto", which displays that it is searching SA), or all servers except SA... weird situation indeed.
I was wondering why I suddenly got like gazillion RUclips notifications out of nowhere.
Thanks for the shout out Zoltan👍
🙏it’s a good video man
one Rieskaruiskillion notifications
The MiG-21PFM lost it's S-8 Rocket pods
Ap bombs do affect tanks and vehicles exceptionally well
When i return to wt some day i will never choose not to have night battles
I'm still waiting for Tank only battles, imagine playing top tier sometimes without CAS that would be a whole new experience.
earliest I've ever been for a vid XD
on the flanders map even the windmill is correct for the location
the new sound for artillery is the same as the sound for ammo cooking off
The night battle thing is cool but it’s only for 10.0 and up so literally like half of the vehicles in the game that have night vision won’t even be able to participate
I love that u made this video under 5 mins
Aerial 20mm cannons seem to be nerfed back to sparks again. At least American and British cannons seem to do that with HEI and HEF rounds. Havn't tested other nations yet but i expect all Western and Axis to do that while Soviets prolly just kill everything they hit like always.
I think I haven't seen a single night battle in war thunder, I'm not at tanks with night vision but I still want it
Did I just see F-104J with 6 missiles? Although, no more city air spawn? Despair.
The South Asia server is on auto for anyone in Australia area and that’s it can’t select
2:20 whats the icon with the 7? ever since that got added i never understood what it meant
Torpedo and ship maneuvers makes new sounds
Man I wish we could have night battles in low tier. Night is so cool
10-100-500-1000 meters infograph was better than 100-1000-2000-3000-4000
Also there are new Carrier Effects
The F-111 being designed as a very high speed attack bomber at a top speed of Mach 2.5 needed to be able to eject the pilots safely so thats why the whole cockpit, or titanium bath tub, would eject
Did you miss the base spawn time increase back to around 5 mins from 5 seconds.
And they remove the train in the ARB Cologne
Damn, the Mi-24 killed the cameraman...
I'm pretty sure the new map got taken from Enlisted which is why it is so detailed.
2:00 thats actully realistic but i will never be able to see it since i stuck at low tiers
Pilot and his "chair"😂
I know it's not popular, but I like night battles.
(Also it's the only way to get the Stormor to "have radar".)
Glad they added detailed interiors to those buildings, would hate it they spent that time finishing those placeholder vehicle interiors that have been in the game forever.
All the sherman with the 76 gun now pen 146mm,after the update 149mm
0:42 apparently it will only be for gound 10.3 and above so dont know why they even bothered with this
If you where to uncheck the auto server, you can check all the other servers.
the SA (South Asia) sever connot be selected but the server is still running and if you are from SA you can select auto sever selection (just click the box infront of auto) you will be able to play in a SA server
Now they shut it down completely.
@@lemangeur2poulet248 RIP SA
2:18 it's still in the game if you are an asian player select auto
I have another one on the new map at the square b7 there’s a Minecraft Face
Well on the plus side for city, at the very least I won't have my eardrums destroyed at game start from all the sonic booms
