[mdatelmi 124]

Yes...link broken...

[+Coupi 4,388]

... waiting! Tic Tac... Tic Tac...

[+PureBlue 71]

Waiting for the link to be corrected.

Patch seems to contain mainly fixes, but TK almost always sneaks in small features. Hope the trend continues with this one

[Gr.Viper 131]

Post in TK's patch release thread. Maybe he hasn't gone to sleep yet.

 

According to the size reported on the download page this patch is about 30Mb larger that the September one.

Good question he could had saved it for the hard mode, what's the point of hard mode if it too get's dumbed down?

[Gr.Viper 131]

That was my first question. He answered that WEP simply becomes unavailable when used up.

 

The bombers fall beautifully now. Just saw a Badger lose a wing due to stress spinning after a missile tore half of its tail off.

[+SkateZilla 49]

i might have to boot up a bomber intercept mission and see that for myself..

[Gr.Viper 131]

You can knock out Binder's engine with one missile. Or a lucky burst. Badgers now only rarely turn into flying torches - mostly get engine fires.

[+PureBlue 71]

It might not mean anything, but there a few new lines in the groundobjectlist.lst file..

See, I'm wondering if this can be used for jet engines...if so, I have an idea....:).

TK ignored my question about water injection on Harrier

[Murphy'S 15]

of course it means something

 

all this things are surely related to the f-14 game

[+JonathanRL 974]

...the Kiev? Krivak? Spruance?

 

Is the Battle for Island approaching? Before Christmas maybe? :D

[Gr.Viper 131]

Are any of those landing craft?

Looks Like the Whole Taskforce, I wonder if the 3d Models are there yet.

 

The Nimitz and the Wasp...

 

 

I might have to go diggin through INIs to see if anything significant changed.

Remember how, if you arrive for CAS and AS early, you had to fly around in circles waiting for the targets to spawn right in from of you? Not anymore. You can unload half of your ordnance on advancing tanks before they even make contact with your troops. Ships seem to spawn either at range on when you hit the "approaching target" waypoint - not sure on that one, more tests needed.

LCC-19 sounds like it.

I just had an experience today pre-patch today and managed to get hit pretty good with an RPG-7 so not sure...
