Patch 4.10 - Development Updates by Daidalos Team

[Aviar]

Can anyone from DT shed a little light on these two additions:

-The possibility of accidental discharge of external suspensions (bombs and missiles and BK7.5 Wfr.Gr. 21)

-Added random distribution for the missiles.


Also, I hope the following does not mean we will again be subjected to being shot down by a tank's main gun. We already went through that hell about 9 years ago.


"Moving tanks now do not hesitate to fire a large caliber gun in a fast-flying plane."

It's poorly translated - in fact it gives the opposite meaning to that intended!

Believe it makes sense if you replace 'hesitate' with 'stop':

"Moving tanks now do not stop to fire a large caliber gun in (at) a fast-flying plane."



also should add that I have nothing to do with DT - just that I went through the same process as yourself in trying to decipher this

What about the announced change in AI awareness? I can remember a video update from DT months ago showing some AI fighter under a cloud that didn't realize enemy fighters were over them. The "AI radar", I would call it. But I can not find a reference to that here.

On the other side, it is said Zuti's MDS has been incorporated. But recently a DT member said there were difficulties and some bugs when using it, so it probably would not be released with 4.10.

Is this really the definitive 4.10 Readme or is an out-of-date version?

Anyhow it will be a great step forward and I only can thank DT a lot for their work for the Community!

"Moving" tanks didn't even fire at other tanks, never.
They only fired from a halt, always.

By the way, once the official Readme has been released in English, I think it would deserve a new "Sticky Thread" on top for discussions, doubts, etc. so this post could be closed. The End of a Season.

At whom the tank would fire if there was a plane passing by and tanks coming?

Fire priority goes by level of threat.
In a modern tank that would be helicopter over battle tank, battle tank over APC and even RPG over APC if closer than 400yards.

If you have two tanks you'll have check their position, or more precisely, the position of the gun - if it points to you the decision is obvious.

However, WW2 main guns were not stabilized, therefore they were unable to fire while moving.
You could try to fire upon an incoming plane with the tower MG though.
I knew a German WW2 tank crew member, he never mentioned they gave it a try on airplane with the main gun - I mean hitting a moving target, in the air, in WW2? Thats not worth it.

Just read the readme, wow, thats way more features than I expected even if it is unofficial, thnkx to DT for taking the time to correct some of the longstanding issues in IL2. I'm interested to see the FM tweaks (esp. the p-51) and the engine reliability changes, gonna be spending a lot of time in front of the computer in the next 4 months I think.

No mention of FM or loadout fixes for late 109s.


The G damage however, at least if done well, I think will change the nature of online flying. No more bombers doing +-5G maneuvers carrying tons of bombs.
