WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:08.800 Welcome in everybody to the seventh episode of the Thunder 2 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.720 Cousins podcast. I'm joined by Nightingale TV, who is always 3 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.519 doing his best to maintain his composure at all times, 4 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:18.359 and we're going to talk to you about all the 5 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.600 things happening in your favorite snail game, war Thunder. 6 00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.399 How are you doing, Gil, even fifteen seconds? Fifteen seconds? 7 00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:29.399 You couldn't go without making a single joke about something, Jesus, 8 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.719 I'm doing okay. You might notice that it's been two 9 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:35.880 weeks since we came out with an episode, and that's 10 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:40.280 my fault. I'm sorry. I was dying. I was dying. 11 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.159 I tried to be here. I told Rev I'm going 12 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.840 to do it on Tuesday next week. Tuesday came around, 13 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.119 I said, let's do it on Wednesday. Wednesday came around. 14 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.920 I said, let's do it next week. I don't know 15 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:52.039 what the hell was wrong with man. 16 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.560 It made me wait in the rain with the boom 17 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:56.399 box outside three days. 18 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.719 I don't know what was wrong with me, but good god, 19 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.920 I felt like a Victorian child. It was bad. But anyways, 20 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:06.879 we're here now, and we've got a lot to talk 21 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:08.920 about now because they've come out with a lot of 22 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:10.599 new stuff to talk about in the last two weeks 23 00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.200 that we've not had a chance to talk about. So 24 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.879 I know Rev is super super excited for one specific thing. 25 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:17.879 He's gonna have a great time with it. He's gonna 26 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.319 tell you guys all to go buy it. I don't 27 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:19.879 know that much. 28 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.280 Go ahead, home, down, chill out. I didn't know about 29 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.079 all that well. We will be discussing a massive post 30 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:31.760 made a couple of days before we air this, which 31 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.840 is the new community updates coming out, which talks about 32 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.480 the nuclear escalation event that we just had. Right It 33 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.319 talks about sound mods because so many of you weirdos 34 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.680 out there want to mod the game. You know, there 35 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.519 are a lot of people who like sound mods. I've 36 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.760 actually never used sound mods in my playthroughs. It's just 37 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:52.680 not stop about super experienced with for those who like them. 38 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.239 That'll be an interesting piece that y'all want to talk about. 39 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.159 There is a roadmap that was essentially laid out in 40 00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.680 terms of events, which I'm cool with. I like that. 41 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.799 Now some of y'all might not like to hear that. 42 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.719 Of of what was it, the next four events coming out, 43 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.159 two of them were naval based events, so they might 44 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.360 now be as excited when they hear that part. We'll 45 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.879 go over what's going to be the events, and as 46 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.719 the man alluded to, there's also a new premium battleship 47 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.599 dropping and I'll have my opinions on that, and I'll 48 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.879 just go ahead and say, y'all know I'm a naval player, 49 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.319 but woo doggie, you'll see he's got to listen to 50 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:31.280 the show to find out. 51 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.960 Yeah, they got a lot to talk about, a lot 52 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.159 to talk about. It's probably one of the biggest blog 53 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.000 posts or dev blog posts that we've seen, definitely this year, 54 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.520 I would say in the last easily the last eight months, 55 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.680 is probably the biggest post we've seen and the most 56 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.120 transparent I think I've seen Guide and Bee in a 57 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.240 long time. Based on the things to expect in the 58 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.120 in the events to expect, I think it's kind of interesting. 59 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.879 So, I mean all started because of the thunder Buddies podcast, 60 00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:57.159 by the. 61 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.919 Way, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all it's all us, yep, 62 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.879 all all two hundred. It didn't happen until we're the 63 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:10.360 common denominators. There's no other denominators. You're right if you okay, So, yeah, 64 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.639 do you want to talk about the the new pre 65 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.599 order real quick before we jump into this huge blog post. 66 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.599 Ah, let's not let's not bore everybody with pre ordering 67 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.039 naval chips. Let's jump in the nuclear escalation. Okay, because 68 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.400 I will say this talking about transparency. One thing I 69 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.280 love that gaming companies do. Hell Divers has done this, 70 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.560 Star Trek, all kinds of Battlefield six. They actually shared 71 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.039 some numbers. Now, I wish we had access to numbers 72 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.599 period across any event that happened, so we could see 73 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.879 how successful was it. But they did release some numbers 74 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.159 of Nuclear Thunder. How many people played, how many matches, 75 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.199 how many air targets, astroid, et cetera, et cetera. I 76 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.719 love these numbers. Then we'll use that as the springboard 77 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.360 to the fact that lazy gentlemen now but officially announced 78 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:55.560 it's coming back. 79 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:56.039 Yeah. 80 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.719 It's not not like I wanted it to, but it's 81 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:00.840 come Yeah. 82 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.520 I'm a little disappointed too, But yeah, the numbers they 83 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.360 released are pretty good if you would just quickly jump 84 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.879 over them. They came out the whole fancy little graphic 85 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.560 talking about the numbers. But yeah, one point three million 86 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.279 people played Nuclear Thunder when it was out for April Fools, 87 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.160 which is a huge amount of people, especially for being 88 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.959 a near top tier air experience, you know, and that 89 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.399 doesn't mean all those people played every single day, but 90 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.160 at least that made unique people played, which is huge. Yeah, 91 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:28.879 like that's a lot. 92 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.600 That's a lot of people to try out. Now. I 93 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.839 will also just be clear to our viewers and listeners, 94 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.040 we've got nothing to compare that to Handy. So, like, 95 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.120 I don't have for you what was the April Fool 96 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.759 Submarine event participation numbers? I will say this, odds are. 97 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.519 No matter when we would like pull back from yesteryear, 98 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.560 these numbers would be higher just because the war th 99 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.680 under population is higher today than it's ever been. So yeah, 100 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.279 odds are this is the greatest April Fools event they've 101 00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.759 ever had in terms of numbers. But as we said 102 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.240 a couple episodes ago, I want to make sure I, 103 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.120 you know, bring it back up. Just because the numbers 104 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.160 are higher doesn't mean it was a better event. I 105 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.680 love the event as it is. We don't get into 106 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.279 that as an ad nauseum discussion, but I don't think 107 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.800 it was a good April Fool's event. Yeah, but for 108 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.399 more numbers on that one point, three million uniques one 109 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.040 and eighteen million number of players spawns. However, I want 110 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.279 to compare that to the following only fifty nine million 111 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:29.519 air targets destroyed. 112 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.639 Yeah, it was basically a point you out there, they 113 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:34.199 got to kill. 114 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.240 There's two people dying and doing nothing. 115 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.439 Yeah yeah oof, yeah, but. 116 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.680 That actually points to what you said, that's it's araab 117 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.879 without being arb. It allowed people to experience that who 118 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:47.600 had never done. 119 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.759 It before, exactly. Yeah. It was a very entry way 120 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:50.959 to get your way to top tier. 121 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:51.439 Now. 122 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.800 A lot of people, I know my community, it really 123 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.480 coincided with my my decal coming out, So a lot 124 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.360 of people were playing Nuclear Thunder and they were playing 125 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.759 these jets that they'd never flown before, and then they 126 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.160 were deciding, hey, maybe I do want to go buy 127 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.879 this top tier premium or something like that, you know, 128 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.680 like so they okay, okay, so they visual experience on 129 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.360 YouTube is gonna be good for that one. I didn't 130 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.120 even catch that you were pointing at me, So yeah, 131 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:21.839 I mean it was just like it was an April 132 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.279 Fool's event, but it was unlike anything other than they've 133 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.120 ever done before, more of a test more than anything. 134 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.560 So yeah, Obviously, seeing that many people playing it isn't 135 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.120 that surprising. But I mean sometimes we forget how many 136 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.519 people actually play war Thunder, and one point three million 137 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.519 people playing in April Fools event just based around nuclear 138 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.560 bombs and top tier air is pretty impressive. So yeah, 139 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.560 I'm glad that they released the stats. It's pretty cool. 140 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:51.879 So one of the craziest stats I saw was the 141 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.600 max number of targets destroyed by a single explosion was 142 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.519 forty one. Somebody in the world it dropped one nuke 143 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:03.199 and got forty one kills, which is nuts. So I'm 144 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.600 sure there's there's gotta be a TikTok about that somewhere. 145 00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:11.800 More impressed for me was the maximum number of bombs 146 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.199 dropped by a single player. The max number dropped of 147 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.759 the standard nuclear bomb was six hundred and ninety four. 148 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.519 By one Jesus Christ. 149 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.319 The max number of hydrogen bombs dropped on the targets 150 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.079 about single player was two three. They did not list 151 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.079 who those players or player was the should have had 152 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.279 They should have been making credit. If you did that 153 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.480 level of grinding, you deserve a shoutout young man and 154 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.040 young woman. But that's insane. 155 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.000 Yeah, because I think I only dropped I only dropped 156 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.839 ten of the big boy nukes during that event. Someone 157 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.279 did twenty times that. Yeah, like throw his name out there. 158 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.120 I want to know who that guy is. I don't 159 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.399 think he need be upset. Yeah, like that's that's that's huge. 160 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.680 Y And then the most horrifying number to share, in 161 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.040 typical snail fashion, there was a total of two and 162 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:06.759 thirty three mega tons worth of nukestrop yess a nuclear 163 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:07.480 thunder event. 164 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:08.839 My god, so. 165 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:18.399 You people need Jesus destroy stop killing judas reference to 166 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.600 Mad TV. But yeah, that was kind of crazy, and 167 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.560 I do appreciate those numbers coming out. That was pretty cool. 168 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.920 Yeah. Yeah, So the the the the reason they brought 169 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.080 all those stats up one because they had an opportunity 170 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.559 to make a cool graphic and look at their spreadsheets, 171 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.639 but also they use it as a way to say 172 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.159 that is coming back. It's coming back after the release 173 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.399 of the next major update. I think the average timespan 174 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.399 you're looking at for your next major update is early 175 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.279 to mid June, so I think we'll have one in 176 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.320 the next month. With the next four weeks will have 177 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.399 a next major update, so you can expect nuclear Thunder 178 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.759 to come back probably the second half of June. However, 179 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.639 as Rev said, they have they are making changes to 180 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.159 how Nuclear Thunder is coming back. It's going to be 181 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:11.879 coming back at a higher br with more countries, so 182 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.000 you can't get much higher than it was. It was 183 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:19.320 already twelve oh essentially, so it's it's going to be 184 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.480 top tier and it's gonna have more countries. 185 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.600 So, I don't know, it's gonna be. Is just a 186 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.840 bunch of greepins f fifteens and s thirties grass. 187 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.120 Yeah, Yeah, it's just a br mess. It's just going 188 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:34.840 to be a nasty BVR fur ball, it's gonna be. 189 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.600 I don't know. I'm not excited to hear that. I 190 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.000 think Rev and I would have loved for them to 191 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.279 go back to like the fifties and have like B 192 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.120 fifty sevens dropping nukes at like eight seven to nine. 193 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.759 You mentioned fifties. Yeah, how awesome would this have been 194 00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:56.320 if the theme was like the Korean the Vietnam escalations, 195 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.519 Like yeah, Mike, fifteens going against early sabers and like 196 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.080 that's where everybody would have been like, nobody's really done this. 197 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.320 This seems like a lot of fun. Yeah, Instead we're 198 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.519 just gonna go back to what we yeah always do. 199 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.080 And I think it would I think it would have 200 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.720 tied in really good to a vehicle that they are 201 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.159 teasing later in this depth that we'll talk about in 202 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:24.159 a minute, but they are bringing in another Century Family aircraft, 203 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.440 so an F one hundred plus series aircraft that they 204 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.240 teased later in this dead blog we'll get to that. 205 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.039 It would have been a great tie in for that 206 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.960 because they could have done that sixties like late fifties 207 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.519 to early seventies kind of aesthetic for the next go 208 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.559 around and really tied in that event. And they honestly 209 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.639 they could have had that new plane in the event 210 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.480 to really hype up the hype up that event. But 211 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.480 you know, we don't make the decisions. I think going 212 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.039 further in the top tier just ostracizes more of the 213 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.960 player base, because I mean, I have every plane in 214 00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.399 the game. I don't even like playing top tier air. 215 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.519 A lot of people that played this last event they 216 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.080 didn't enjoy it because they thought twelve O was confusing. 217 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.039 If they think twelve O is confusing, fourteen oh is 218 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.120 going to be unplayable. It's just not going to be fun. BVR. 219 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.759 If you're the person like me who has your radar 220 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.039 set to default keys and you're just still ault X 221 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.879 to try to find the baddie. Guess what, you're already dead. 222 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:21.440 Might as well go to another mode. 223 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.679 Yep, so all we'll see. You know, we hate it 224 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.720 on we we hated on their last couple decisions, and 225 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.960 they've kind of pulled through with some interesting choices. So 226 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.120 maybe they find a way to make it work. Maybe 227 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.200 they won't be Fox threes, but I imagine that will be. 228 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:37.080 But well, I guess we'll see. We'll see towards the 229 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.039 end of June, but be expecting that on the horizon. 230 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:41.919 If you like the Nuclear Thunder event, it will be 231 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.879 coming back in June, most likely at top tier with 232 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:47.960 more countries this time. So if you're a top tier 233 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:48.840 air player, I hope you're the. 234 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.320 Only question I have is will that include everybody getting 235 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.240 access to it? For example, let's say that we launch it, 236 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.360 here's April fools, everybody had it. What are the default 237 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:05.000 planes the factions they give you for play this event. 238 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.919 If it was going to be like thirteen oh or 239 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.840 fourteen oh, and they want to bring in other countries, 240 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:14.440 I would imagine America would have like F fifteen, F sixteen. 241 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.080 You know, Russia would have their flankers, they're mad twenty nines. 242 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:25.159 Maybe I doubt they'd give them an SU thirty. Sweden 243 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.600 would get like the grippin. Sweden also has a super hornet, 244 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:30.399 so they could give them their super hornet. You know, 245 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.200 that kind of area is kind of what you'd expect. 246 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.679 Yeah, I was thinking definitely along the lines of twenty 247 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:42.080 nine's and briefings and F sixteen's, which are fine aircraft 248 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.200 in themselves, to be very clear, like the F two 249 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.840 from Japan, which is a even though it looks like 250 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.320 in F sixteen, it's not an F sixteen. Argue with 251 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.960 your mother. They're very different platforms. They just look very close. 252 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.159 But even then in today's game where it is right now, 253 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.919 that's not the same as running super hornets or SU thirty's, 254 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.720 Like there's there's big differences there. 255 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:06.120 So yeah, just different place styles. 256 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.879 Anyway, we'll wait and see what it looks like. We 257 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.039 don't want to condemn something before it's here. But I 258 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.120 am honestly disappointed that it's going higher in tier versus 259 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.799 lower in tier. I agree, I agree, hopefully if nothing 260 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:18.960 else will get the option. 261 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.559 Yeah, I mean they said it's gonna be more like 262 00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.519 the Seed event when it comes back, So it's gonna 263 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.039 be like more bullet hell and CD kind of like 264 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.919 where it's gonna be just an event tab on the 265 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.799 right side. It's not gonna be like a whole April 266 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.159 Fools thing. So yeah, if you don't want to play it, 267 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.039 but then we won't play it. But we'll see. They 268 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:37.919 also did say it's gonna come back with some tweaks 269 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.799 for some of the ground targets and other issues that 270 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.399 they're were, so hopefully they do fix some stuff, so 271 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:43.879 we'll see. Hopefully it's an improve. 272 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.200 Here's what that's going to be, Gail, because I love 273 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.000 the AA aside from the accuracy of it in terms 274 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:53.240 of like the lower accuracy, I love the difficulty scaling 275 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.360 of that AA. And if they go unnerve that to 276 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:58.279 where it just becomes missile dog fights, that's gonna make 277 00:13:58.320 --> 00:13:59.360 the event worse. Enound. 278 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.759 Yeah, I am interested because in the nuclear thunder event, 279 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:07.480 some of those long range SPAA were incredibly good at 280 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.840 smoking you out of high altitude. And if people, if 281 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.440 this is top tier, people are gonna want to climb 282 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:15.360 in BVR because that's a lot of what those aircraft 283 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.320 are meant to do. And if you're getting dodged a 284 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:19.519 shot at by Sam's the whole time, it could be 285 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.279 really interesting. So I don't know, who knows. It might 286 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:24.639 it might not be a mess. People might be on 287 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.399 the deck anyways because you're still dodging spas. Who knows. 288 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.960 It's guidgen. They love to make anti aircraft the best 289 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.639 vehicle in the game, so it could be who knows. 290 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.679 I don't. We'll see in a month, I guess, but it's. 291 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:43.000 Even though recent history shows that's not how that was. Yeah, 292 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.360 let's let's shop into the next one. Update on sound mods. Now, 293 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.639 you're more familiar with these than I am, but neither 294 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:49.720 of us used them. 295 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:55.120 No, so I I have installed sound mods before, I 296 00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:57.600 have messed with them. I used to play with them 297 00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:00.519 a little bit a few years ago with and they 298 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.759 were still a little bit infancy and the audio levels 299 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.080 were super scuffed. It'd be really loud or really quiet, 300 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.600 you'd have missing audio files. You have this that it's 301 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.320 come a long way, and I know my community. It's 302 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.320 probably my most asked question over the last couple of months. 303 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.159 Ever since they removed sound mods are when our sound 304 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.679 mod's returning, And now we finally have an update from Guidgen. 305 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:24.799 They plan on bringing them back this month, by the 306 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.279 end of May, I believe, is what they said in 307 00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:32.000 this post, So we'll see. I mean, I'm pretty sure 308 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:33.960 they said yeah, the end of this month, so it 309 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:39.360 will see. I they removed them because they were causing issues, supposedly, 310 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.000 I don't know about that. I know there are there's 311 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.320 some things going on. There's some back drama that's going 312 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.720 on with the sound mods and stuff like that. You know, 313 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.240 the people that you're supporting with the sound mods, so 314 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:53.960 you know, if you like sound mods, go for it. 315 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:57.320 Some people love the rxis, the RCSM mods and stuff 316 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.320 like that. I think they sound really good for props 317 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.360 and but there are some sound mods that give people advantage. 318 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.399 I think that's what Gaigen is trying to really figure out. 319 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:09.000 And some of the authors have been pulled into some 320 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.679 legal drama lately. So make sure if you do you 321 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:12.440 do a sound mod. 322 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.879 I think the company, by the way, yeah, it tells 323 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.519 you to turn your engines off sound wise yeah yeah, 324 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.639 and turn their engines to max so you can hear 325 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.080 them three miles away behind a rock. 326 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.440 Yeah, it's but yeah, sound mods are coming back in 327 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.120 the next couple of weeks. So if I know a 328 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.519 lot of people that I've talked to in my stream 329 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.320 legitimately haven't been playing unless they can have sound mods. 330 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:39.279 So maybe it'll bring people back. Maybe everyone will be 331 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:41.279 in a little bit better mood when their sound mod 332 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:43.679 is back. But it's you know, a lot of people 333 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:47.440 have put a lot of hours into developing these mods 334 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.600 and to have them ripped with no warning kind of sucks. 335 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.919 So having them come back is a nice thing. Guigen 336 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:55.799 didn't have to do that. They did not have to 337 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:58.840 let you mod their sound files because they already pay 338 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.279 a team of sound guys to do sounds already. The 339 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:04.119 fact that they let us do sound mods in the 340 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.559 first place is awfully nice of them, So the fact 341 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:09.720 that they're bringing them back is a wth w Guigen, 342 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.759 you know, like, so they're coming back, keep that in mind. 343 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.119 Just just be warned. You you have noticed how Guidgeon 344 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.759 handles it now, so you can reinstall your sound mod, 345 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.039 but if they get removed suddenly with the next major update, again, 346 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.720 don't be surprised, because Guigon does retain that right to 347 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:30.039 do that. So if you do do a sound mod, 348 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.880 just know it's not forever. It's always going to have 349 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.720 compatibile to compatibility issues regardless of how good it sounds. 350 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:38.599 Just just just be warned. You know, It's not like 351 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:42.039 it's not like they fixed every issue with them. When 352 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:44.160 when they do come back, they just are coming back 353 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:46.839 in the same fashion they were before. So there you go, 354 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:48.799 there's there. At least there's news about it. It was pretty 355 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.279 radio silent. They just kept kind of dancing around that. 356 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:53.279 So at least they finally released something about it, which 357 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:57.680 is cool. And then a very small thing before we 358 00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:00.279 get into the events that they announced, a very very 359 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.599 small thing. They're given the Japanese G four M one 360 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:08.319 a new cockpit texture. Just another bomber. They did say 361 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:13.359 a few months ago that they have committed to developing 362 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.359 the bomber cockpits in game, so this is just another 363 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:19.920 follow through on their promise. There's one more bomber this time. 364 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.640 The G four for Japan is getting an updated and 365 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.720 fancy cockpit. So if you like, if you like low 366 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:30.920 tier or mid tier props and you like Japan, you 367 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:32.920 could have a bomber that has a cool cockpit. Now 368 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.200 I think it's great. I think it's been a long 369 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.000 time coming on the bombers getting their cockpits. I mean, 370 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:40.920 even like the big, like the most common bombers, like 371 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:42.480 the B twenty nine and the B seventeen and the 372 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.279 B twenty five's never having a cockpit never made sense 373 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.240 to me because there's so many of those in every 374 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.200 in every like museum ever that they could go take 375 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.799 pictures of. So I'm glad they're finally following through on 376 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:57.440 doing those. So just just know that Guigen is still 377 00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.480 doing stuff for props, even if it's just a little 378 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:01.720 bit here and there. They are still working on developing 379 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:04.839 some lures here stuff, So it's a little we love props. 380 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.960 I love props. Yeah, okay, best place to play. 381 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:13.400 Okay, But now we get into the events conversation, right, 382 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:17.319 So just a quar real quick and skinny of it. Hey, 383 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:25.000 May naval event, naval vehicle. Also June D Day related 384 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:29.000 vehicle event. Interested in that July we're going to have 385 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:32.920 a ground event vehicle, and then back in August back 386 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.359 to naval which are actually focusing on a World War 387 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.759 One Soviet ship, which does have me slightly intrigued. But 388 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:45.839 of the events coming here. I do appreciate them lnting 389 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:47.200 us so ahead of time. All of those that didn't 390 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.440 say this specific what is it going to be on 391 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.279 they gave you the genre. Two of the four next 392 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.480 events will be ship based events. 393 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.440 Yeah, so the May one they just announced that today too, 394 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:01.400 so that is the I've already forgotten the name of it. 395 00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:03.720 It's a French coastal ship with a forty mil on it. 396 00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:07.359 I think it's from like it's actually kind of a 397 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:10.160 more modern ship. But that is gonna be our next 398 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:12.079 event as soon as this kV eight one wraps up, 399 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:13.759 which I think by the time this episode comes out, 400 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:17.559 I think the kvight one will be officially over. Like 401 00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:19.400
