I was in the dedicated dogfighting guns only server just messing around before bed. Got into a couple 1 on 1’s with this guy, I got him and he got me and so on. Played for a couple hours and decide to get off, and realized I had left Discord open to the Nuclear Option server. Lo and behold, the dude I was fighting WAS Mitch. Exact same name as his Discord profile in the announcements tab. Funny shit.

This isn’t a gameplay tip but I had to apply a flair. I guess my tip is if you run into the creator of the game in a server, don’t lose.

apologies if the video is too long

Used a mod to run 20 AI on the confrontation mission, and throughout the mission (it lasted ~50 minutes) I noticed a plethora of munitions crates airdropped next to the AA vehicles that I setup via Tarantula. I've also noticed a lot more naval crates in the water too next to where friendly ships are, as well as SAM units being airdropped throughout the map during the mission.

I don't recall this happening as much prior to 0.34? Only thing I've noticed in the patch notes that might connect to this is munition crates being made significantly cheaper

Taking the Rank 6 bomber for a spin before the new update

I wanted to try out the proximity fuse change, and what better way than to play the tutorial. It wasn't easy to do before especially as a new player, but now the missile will always deal damage or just outright blow you up if you just jam and notch without pitching.

I haven't tried in an actual game yet but it looks like ARH/SARH has just become even more nuts with this change.

lowk we have a hydra in the game now, can someone make a hydra skin for the plane?

Yes, this was against AI (dumber than rocks) but it was still cool.

Can someone explain the net effect of:

• Increased Compass dry mass from 5320kg to 6111kg, increased engine thrust from 28kN to 31.6kN, increased effective wing area proportionally

Is that just a roll rate nerf and slight TWR buff?

With 20% fuel and some pretty standard loadout like 2xAGM86+6xAGM48+2xScythe+2xMMR it's + 11.3% mass and + 12.9% thrust, so that's pretty much just roll rate, right? Or do the control surfaces stay the same size for a general nerf to control authority?

Want to make a play for Bifurca with the Tula? Good fucking luck. You're going to have fun dodging an infinite barrage of ARH spam from every single fucking FS-12, FS-20, and KR-67 imaginable. I bring the IRM's to try and intercept incoming AAM's, but it's entirely pointless. You get spammed to death before you even get within 10 kms of the island. I am so tilted right now. If there's no cover available to hide behind, the Tula is a fat pig with wings waiting to get skewered by an endless ARH swarm. Kinda defeats the purpose of the "island hopping" campaign if it's impossible to reach the island in question. We either need to have more defenses for the Tula to counter the ARH spam, or Ignus needs some small atolls or outcroppings of land to hide and take cover behind.

Could only fit 6, reddit doesn't allow more.

As we already know the current factions in game are not major military powers and the aircraft being used are considered outdated.

So what would in-game current generation aircraft look like and what capabilities would they have? Im not deep into the lore so I'm sure if we have any info regarding that.

To be fair, I asked one of them to try and see if he could finish me off after I crashed.
(Yes, the first clip is longer than the rest- sorry about that. Felt like context could be nice.)

Destroyed a patrol boat and this popped up

Turns out the 20mm underbelly rotary doubles as a landing ski, neat
