Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to the seventh episode of the Thunder
Speaker 1: Cousins podcast. I'm joined by Nightingale TV, who is always
Speaker 1: doing his best to maintain his composure at all times,
Speaker 1: and we're going to talk to you about all the
Speaker 1: things happening in your favorite snail game, war Thunder.
Speaker 2: How are you doing, Gil, even fifteen seconds? Fifteen seconds?
Speaker 2: You couldn't go without making a single joke about something, Jesus,
Speaker 2: I'm doing okay. You might notice that it's been two
Speaker 2: weeks since we came out with an episode, and that's
Speaker 2: my fault. I'm sorry. I was dying. I was dying.
Speaker 2: I tried to be here. I told Rev I'm going
Speaker 2: to do it on Tuesday next week. Tuesday came around,
Speaker 2: I said, let's do it on Wednesday. Wednesday came around.
Speaker 2: I said, let's do it next week. I don't know
Speaker 2: what the hell was wrong with man.
Speaker 1: It made me wait in the rain with the boom
Speaker 1: box outside three days.
Speaker 2: I don't know what was wrong with me, but good god,
Speaker 2: I felt like a Victorian child. It was bad. But anyways,
Speaker 2: we're here now, and we've got a lot to talk
Speaker 2: about now because they've come out with a lot of
Speaker 2: new stuff to talk about in the last two weeks
Speaker 2: that we've not had a chance to talk about. So
Speaker 2: I know Rev is super super excited for one specific thing.
Speaker 2: He's gonna have a great time with it. He's gonna
Speaker 2: tell you guys all to go buy it. I don't
Speaker 2: know that much.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, home, down, chill out. I didn't know about
Speaker 1: all that well. We will be discussing a massive post
Speaker 1: made a couple of days before we air this, which
Speaker 1: is the new community updates coming out, which talks about
Speaker 1: the nuclear escalation event that we just had. Right It
Speaker 1: talks about sound mods because so many of you weirdos
Speaker 1: out there want to mod the game. You know, there
Speaker 1: are a lot of people who like sound mods. I've
Speaker 1: actually never used sound mods in my playthroughs. It's just
Speaker 1: not stop about super experienced with for those who like them.
Speaker 1: That'll be an interesting piece that y'all want to talk about.
Speaker 1: There is a roadmap that was essentially laid out in
Speaker 1: terms of events, which I'm cool with. I like that.
Speaker 1: Now some of y'all might not like to hear that.
Speaker 1: Of of what was it, the next four events coming out,
Speaker 1: two of them were naval based events, so they might
Speaker 1: now be as excited when they hear that part. We'll
Speaker 1: go over what's going to be the events, and as
Speaker 1: the man alluded to, there's also a new premium battleship
Speaker 1: dropping and I'll have my opinions on that, and I'll
Speaker 1: just go ahead and say, y'all know I'm a naval player,
Speaker 1: but woo doggie, you'll see he's got to listen to
Speaker 1: the show to find out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got a lot to talk about, a lot
Speaker 2: to talk about. It's probably one of the biggest blog
Speaker 2: posts or dev blog posts that we've seen, definitely this year,
Speaker 2: I would say in the last easily the last eight months,
Speaker 2: is probably the biggest post we've seen and the most
Speaker 2: transparent I think I've seen Guide and Bee in a
Speaker 2: long time. Based on the things to expect in the
Speaker 2: in the events to expect, I think it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: So, I mean all started because of the thunder Buddies podcast,
Speaker 1: by the.
Speaker 2: Way, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all it's all us, yep,
Speaker 2: all all two hundred. It didn't happen until we're the
Speaker 2: common denominators. There's no other denominators. You're right if you okay, So, yeah,
Speaker 2: do you want to talk about the the new pre
Speaker 2: order real quick before we jump into this huge blog post.
Speaker 1: Ah, let's not let's not bore everybody with pre ordering
Speaker 1: naval chips. Let's jump in the nuclear escalation. Okay, because
Speaker 1: I will say this talking about transparency. One thing I
Speaker 1: love that gaming companies do. Hell Divers has done this,
Speaker 1: Star Trek, all kinds of Battlefield six. They actually shared
Speaker 1: some numbers. Now, I wish we had access to numbers
Speaker 1: period across any event that happened, so we could see
Speaker 1: how successful was it. But they did release some numbers
Speaker 1: of Nuclear Thunder. How many people played, how many matches,
Speaker 1: how many air targets, astroid, et cetera, et cetera. I
Speaker 1: love these numbers. Then we'll use that as the springboard
Speaker 1: to the fact that lazy gentlemen now but officially announced
Speaker 1: it's coming back.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's not not like I wanted it to, but it's
Speaker 1: come Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm a little disappointed too, But yeah, the numbers they
Speaker 2: released are pretty good if you would just quickly jump
Speaker 2: over them. They came out the whole fancy little graphic
Speaker 2: talking about the numbers. But yeah, one point three million
Speaker 2: people played Nuclear Thunder when it was out for April Fools,
Speaker 2: which is a huge amount of people, especially for being
Speaker 2: a near top tier air experience, you know, and that
Speaker 2: doesn't mean all those people played every single day, but
Speaker 2: at least that made unique people played, which is huge. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like that's a lot.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of people to try out. Now. I
Speaker 1: will also just be clear to our viewers and listeners,
Speaker 1: we've got nothing to compare that to Handy. So, like,
Speaker 1: I don't have for you what was the April Fool
Speaker 1: Submarine event participation numbers? I will say this, odds are.
Speaker 1: No matter when we would like pull back from yesteryear,
Speaker 1: these numbers would be higher just because the war th
Speaker 1: under population is higher today than it's ever been. So yeah,
Speaker 1: odds are this is the greatest April Fools event they've
Speaker 1: ever had in terms of numbers. But as we said
Speaker 1: a couple episodes ago, I want to make sure I,
Speaker 1: you know, bring it back up. Just because the numbers
Speaker 1: are higher doesn't mean it was a better event. I
Speaker 1: love the event as it is. We don't get into
Speaker 1: that as an ad nauseum discussion, but I don't think
Speaker 1: it was a good April Fool's event. Yeah, but for
Speaker 1: more numbers on that one point, three million uniques one
Speaker 1: and eighteen million number of players spawns. However, I want
Speaker 1: to compare that to the following only fifty nine million
Speaker 1: air targets destroyed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was basically a point you out there, they
Speaker 2: got to kill.
Speaker 1: There's two people dying and doing nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah oof, yeah, but.
Speaker 1: That actually points to what you said, that's it's araab
Speaker 1: without being arb. It allowed people to experience that who
Speaker 1: had never done.
Speaker 2: It before, exactly. Yeah. It was a very entry way
Speaker 2: to get your way to top tier.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: A lot of people, I know my community, it really
Speaker 2: coincided with my my decal coming out, So a lot
Speaker 2: of people were playing Nuclear Thunder and they were playing
Speaker 2: these jets that they'd never flown before, and then they
Speaker 2: were deciding, hey, maybe I do want to go buy
Speaker 2: this top tier premium or something like that, you know,
Speaker 2: like so they okay, okay, so they visual experience on
Speaker 2: YouTube is gonna be good for that one. I didn't
Speaker 2: even catch that you were pointing at me, So yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean it was just like it was an April
Speaker 2: Fool's event, but it was unlike anything other than they've
Speaker 2: ever done before, more of a test more than anything.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Obviously, seeing that many people playing it isn't
Speaker 2: that surprising. But I mean sometimes we forget how many
Speaker 2: people actually play war Thunder, and one point three million
Speaker 2: people playing in April Fools event just based around nuclear
Speaker 2: bombs and top tier air is pretty impressive. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm glad that they released the stats. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: So one of the craziest stats I saw was the
Speaker 2: max number of targets destroyed by a single explosion was
Speaker 2: forty one. Somebody in the world it dropped one nuke
Speaker 2: and got forty one kills, which is nuts. So I'm
Speaker 2: sure there's there's gotta be a TikTok about that somewhere.
Speaker 1: More impressed for me was the maximum number of bombs
Speaker 1: dropped by a single player. The max number dropped of
Speaker 1: the standard nuclear bomb was six hundred and ninety four.
Speaker 2: By one Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: The max number of hydrogen bombs dropped on the targets
Speaker 1: about single player was two three. They did not list
Speaker 1: who those players or player was the should have had
Speaker 1: They should have been making credit. If you did that
Speaker 1: level of grinding, you deserve a shoutout young man and
Speaker 1: young woman. But that's insane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think I only dropped I only dropped
Speaker 2: ten of the big boy nukes during that event. Someone
Speaker 2: did twenty times that. Yeah, like throw his name out there.
Speaker 2: I want to know who that guy is. I don't
Speaker 2: think he need be upset. Yeah, like that's that's that's huge.
Speaker 1: Y And then the most horrifying number to share, in
Speaker 1: typical snail fashion, there was a total of two and
Speaker 1: thirty three mega tons worth of nukestrop yess a nuclear
Speaker 1: thunder event.
Speaker 2: My god, so.
Speaker 1: You people need Jesus destroy stop killing judas reference to
Speaker 1: Mad TV. But yeah, that was kind of crazy, and
Speaker 1: I do appreciate those numbers coming out. That was pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So the the the the reason they brought
Speaker 2: all those stats up one because they had an opportunity
Speaker 2: to make a cool graphic and look at their spreadsheets,
Speaker 2: but also they use it as a way to say
Speaker 2: that is coming back. It's coming back after the release
Speaker 2: of the next major update. I think the average timespan
Speaker 2: you're looking at for your next major update is early
Speaker 2: to mid June, so I think we'll have one in
Speaker 2: the next month. With the next four weeks will have
Speaker 2: a next major update, so you can expect nuclear Thunder
Speaker 2: to come back probably the second half of June. However,
Speaker 2: as Rev said, they have they are making changes to
Speaker 2: how Nuclear Thunder is coming back. It's going to be
Speaker 2: coming back at a higher br with more countries, so
Speaker 2: you can't get much higher than it was. It was
Speaker 2: already twelve oh essentially, so it's it's going to be
Speaker 2: top tier and it's gonna have more countries.
Speaker 1: So, I don't know, it's gonna be. Is just a
Speaker 1: bunch of greepins f fifteens and s thirties grass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's just a br mess. It's just going
Speaker 2: to be a nasty BVR fur ball, it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not excited to hear that. I
Speaker 2: think Rev and I would have loved for them to
Speaker 2: go back to like the fifties and have like B
Speaker 2: fifty sevens dropping nukes at like eight seven to nine.
Speaker 1: You mentioned fifties. Yeah, how awesome would this have been
Speaker 1: if the theme was like the Korean the Vietnam escalations,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, Mike, fifteens going against early sabers and like
Speaker 1: that's where everybody would have been like, nobody's really done this.
Speaker 1: This seems like a lot of fun. Yeah, Instead we're
Speaker 1: just gonna go back to what we yeah always do.
Speaker 2: And I think it would I think it would have
Speaker 2: tied in really good to a vehicle that they are
Speaker 2: teasing later in this depth that we'll talk about in
Speaker 2: a minute, but they are bringing in another Century Family aircraft,
Speaker 2: so an F one hundred plus series aircraft that they
Speaker 2: teased later in this dead blog we'll get to that.
Speaker 2: It would have been a great tie in for that
Speaker 2: because they could have done that sixties like late fifties
Speaker 2: to early seventies kind of aesthetic for the next go
Speaker 2: around and really tied in that event. And they honestly
Speaker 2: they could have had that new plane in the event
Speaker 2: to really hype up the hype up that event. But
Speaker 2: you know, we don't make the decisions. I think going
Speaker 2: further in the top tier just ostracizes more of the
Speaker 2: player base, because I mean, I have every plane in
Speaker 2: the game. I don't even like playing top tier air.
Speaker 2: A lot of people that played this last event they
Speaker 2: didn't enjoy it because they thought twelve O was confusing.
Speaker 2: If they think twelve O is confusing, fourteen oh is
Speaker 2: going to be unplayable. It's just not going to be fun. BVR.
Speaker 1: If you're the person like me who has your radar
Speaker 1: set to default keys and you're just still ault X
Speaker 1: to try to find the baddie. Guess what, you're already dead.
Speaker 1: Might as well go to another mode.
Speaker 2: Yep, so all we'll see. You know, we hate it
Speaker 2: on we we hated on their last couple decisions, and
Speaker 2: they've kind of pulled through with some interesting choices. So
Speaker 2: maybe they find a way to make it work. Maybe
Speaker 2: they won't be Fox threes, but I imagine that will be.
Speaker 2: But well, I guess we'll see. We'll see towards the
Speaker 2: end of June, but be expecting that on the horizon.
Speaker 2: If you like the Nuclear Thunder event, it will be
Speaker 2: coming back in June, most likely at top tier with
Speaker 2: more countries this time. So if you're a top tier
Speaker 2: air player, I hope you're the.
Speaker 1: Only question I have is will that include everybody getting
Speaker 1: access to it? For example, let's say that we launch it,
Speaker 1: here's April fools, everybody had it. What are the default
Speaker 1: planes the factions they give you for play this event.
Speaker 2: If it was going to be like thirteen oh or
Speaker 2: fourteen oh, and they want to bring in other countries,
Speaker 2: I would imagine America would have like F fifteen, F sixteen.
Speaker 2: You know, Russia would have their flankers, they're mad twenty nines.
Speaker 2: Maybe I doubt they'd give them an SU thirty. Sweden
Speaker 2: would get like the grippin. Sweden also has a super hornet,
Speaker 2: so they could give them their super hornet. You know,
Speaker 2: that kind of area is kind of what you'd expect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking definitely along the lines of twenty
Speaker 1: nine's and briefings and F sixteen's, which are fine aircraft
Speaker 1: in themselves, to be very clear, like the F two
Speaker 1: from Japan, which is a even though it looks like
Speaker 1: in F sixteen, it's not an F sixteen. Argue with
Speaker 1: your mother. They're very different platforms. They just look very close.
Speaker 1: But even then in today's game where it is right now,
Speaker 1: that's not the same as running super hornets or SU thirty's,
Speaker 1: Like there's there's big differences there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, just different place styles.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we'll wait and see what it looks like. We
Speaker 1: don't want to condemn something before it's here. But I
Speaker 1: am honestly disappointed that it's going higher in tier versus
Speaker 1: lower in tier. I agree, I agree, hopefully if nothing
Speaker 1: else will get the option.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they said it's gonna be more like
Speaker 2: the Seed event when it comes back, So it's gonna
Speaker 2: be like more bullet hell and CD kind of like
Speaker 2: where it's gonna be just an event tab on the
Speaker 2: right side. It's not gonna be like a whole April
Speaker 2: Fools thing. So yeah, if you don't want to play it,
Speaker 2: but then we won't play it. But we'll see. They
Speaker 2: also did say it's gonna come back with some tweaks
Speaker 2: for some of the ground targets and other issues that
Speaker 2: they're were, so hopefully they do fix some stuff, so
Speaker 2: we'll see. Hopefully it's an improve.
Speaker 1: Here's what that's going to be, Gail, because I love
Speaker 1: the AA aside from the accuracy of it in terms
Speaker 1: of like the lower accuracy, I love the difficulty scaling
Speaker 1: of that AA. And if they go unnerve that to
Speaker 1: where it just becomes missile dog fights, that's gonna make
Speaker 1: the event worse. Enound.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am interested because in the nuclear thunder event,
Speaker 2: some of those long range SPAA were incredibly good at
Speaker 2: smoking you out of high altitude. And if people, if
Speaker 2: this is top tier, people are gonna want to climb
Speaker 2: in BVR because that's a lot of what those aircraft
Speaker 2: are meant to do. And if you're getting dodged a
Speaker 2: shot at by Sam's the whole time, it could be
Speaker 2: really interesting. So I don't know, who knows. It might
Speaker 2: it might not be a mess. People might be on
Speaker 2: the deck anyways because you're still dodging spas. Who knows.
Speaker 2: It's guidgen. They love to make anti aircraft the best
Speaker 2: vehicle in the game, so it could be who knows.
Speaker 2: I don't. We'll see in a month, I guess, but it's.
Speaker 1: Even though recent history shows that's not how that was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's let's shop into the next one. Update on sound mods. Now,
Speaker 1: you're more familiar with these than I am, but neither
Speaker 1: of us used them.
Speaker 2: No, so I I have installed sound mods before, I
Speaker 2: have messed with them. I used to play with them
Speaker 2: a little bit a few years ago with and they
Speaker 2: were still a little bit infancy and the audio levels
Speaker 2: were super scuffed. It'd be really loud or really quiet,
Speaker 2: you'd have missing audio files. You have this that it's
Speaker 2: come a long way, and I know my community. It's
Speaker 2: probably my most asked question over the last couple of months.
Speaker 2: Ever since they removed sound mods are when our sound
Speaker 2: mod's returning, And now we finally have an update from Guidgen.
Speaker 2: They plan on bringing them back this month, by the
Speaker 2: end of May, I believe, is what they said in
Speaker 2: this post, So we'll see. I mean, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: they said yeah, the end of this month, so it
Speaker 2: will see. I they removed them because they were causing issues, supposedly,
Speaker 2: I don't know about that. I know there are there's
Speaker 2: some things going on. There's some back drama that's going
Speaker 2: on with the sound mods and stuff like that. You know,
Speaker 2: the people that you're supporting with the sound mods, so
Speaker 2: you know, if you like sound mods, go for it.
Speaker 2: Some people love the rxis, the RCSM mods and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. I think they sound really good for props
Speaker 2: and but there are some sound mods that give people advantage.
Speaker 2: I think that's what Gaigen is trying to really figure out.
Speaker 2: And some of the authors have been pulled into some
Speaker 2: legal drama lately. So make sure if you do you
Speaker 2: do a sound mod.
Speaker 1: I think the company, by the way, yeah, it tells
Speaker 1: you to turn your engines off sound wise yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and turn their engines to max so you can hear
Speaker 1: them three miles away behind a rock.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's but yeah, sound mods are coming back in
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks. So if I know a
Speaker 2: lot of people that I've talked to in my stream
Speaker 2: legitimately haven't been playing unless they can have sound mods.
Speaker 2: So maybe it'll bring people back. Maybe everyone will be
Speaker 2: in a little bit better mood when their sound mod
Speaker 2: is back. But it's you know, a lot of people
Speaker 2: have put a lot of hours into developing these mods
Speaker 2: and to have them ripped with no warning kind of sucks.
Speaker 2: So having them come back is a nice thing. Guigen
Speaker 2: didn't have to do that. They did not have to
Speaker 2: let you mod their sound files because they already pay
Speaker 2: a team of sound guys to do sounds already. The
Speaker 2: fact that they let us do sound mods in the
Speaker 2: first place is awfully nice of them, So the fact
Speaker 2: that they're bringing them back is a wth w Guigen,
Speaker 2: you know, like, so they're coming back, keep that in mind.
Speaker 2: Just just be warned. You you have noticed how Guidgeon
Speaker 2: handles it now, so you can reinstall your sound mod,
Speaker 2: but if they get removed suddenly with the next major update, again,
Speaker 2: don't be surprised, because Guigon does retain that right to
Speaker 2: do that. So if you do do a sound mod,
Speaker 2: just know it's not forever. It's always going to have
Speaker 2: compatibile to compatibility issues regardless of how good it sounds.
Speaker 2: Just just just be warned. You know, It's not like
Speaker 2: it's not like they fixed every issue with them. When
Speaker 2: when they do come back, they just are coming back
Speaker 2: in the same fashion they were before. So there you go,
Speaker 2: there's there. At least there's news about it. It was pretty
Speaker 2: radio silent. They just kept kind of dancing around that.
Speaker 2: So at least they finally released something about it, which
Speaker 2: is cool. And then a very small thing before we
Speaker 2: get into the events that they announced, a very very
Speaker 2: small thing. They're given the Japanese G four M one
Speaker 2: a new cockpit texture. Just another bomber. They did say
Speaker 2: a few months ago that they have committed to developing
Speaker 2: the bomber cockpits in game, so this is just another
Speaker 2: follow through on their promise. There's one more bomber this time.
Speaker 2: The G four for Japan is getting an updated and
Speaker 2: fancy cockpit. So if you like, if you like low
Speaker 2: tier or mid tier props and you like Japan, you
Speaker 2: could have a bomber that has a cool cockpit. Now
Speaker 2: I think it's great. I think it's been a long
Speaker 2: time coming on the bombers getting their cockpits. I mean,
Speaker 2: even like the big, like the most common bombers, like
Speaker 2: the B twenty nine and the B seventeen and the
Speaker 2: B twenty five's never having a cockpit never made sense
Speaker 2: to me because there's so many of those in every
Speaker 2: in every like museum ever that they could go take
Speaker 2: pictures of. So I'm glad they're finally following through on
Speaker 2: doing those. So just just know that Guigen is still
Speaker 2: doing stuff for props, even if it's just a little
Speaker 2: bit here and there. They are still working on developing
Speaker 2: some lures here stuff, So it's a little we love props.
Speaker 2: I love props. Yeah, okay, best place to play.
Speaker 1: Okay, But now we get into the events conversation, right,
Speaker 1: So just a quar real quick and skinny of it. Hey,
Speaker 1: May naval event, naval vehicle. Also June D Day related
Speaker 1: vehicle event. Interested in that July we're going to have
Speaker 1: a ground event vehicle, and then back in August back
Speaker 1: to naval which are actually focusing on a World War
Speaker 1: One Soviet ship, which does have me slightly intrigued. But
Speaker 1: of the events coming here. I do appreciate them lnting
Speaker 1: us so ahead of time. All of those that didn't
Speaker 1: say this specific what is it going to be on
Speaker 1: they gave you the genre. Two of the four next
Speaker 1: events will be ship based events.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the May one they just announced that today too,
Speaker 2: so that is the I've already forgotten the name of it.
Speaker 2: It's a French coastal ship with a forty mil on it.
Speaker 2: I think it's from like it's actually kind of a
Speaker 2: more modern ship. But that is gonna be our next
Speaker 2: event as soon as this kV eight one wraps up,
Speaker 2: which I think by the time this episode comes out,
Speaker 2: I think the kvight one will be officially over. Like
Speaker 2: I don't think you'll even be able to buy it anymore.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you may. They may have already put that
Speaker 2: in game by the time this podcast comes out. If not,
Speaker 2: it's just another French coastal ship. That's the May event
Speaker 2: that they're talking about here, and then the interesting one.
Speaker 2: I do love when Guidin is very cryptic about their
Speaker 2: hints because when they dropped this devlog, me and my
Speaker 2: buddy Wookie, we sat in discord and we like, like
Speaker 2: we try to solve the riddles on what these vehicles
Speaker 2: are going to be. And for the D Day event
Speaker 2: in June, they said, a slightly unrelated vehicle to a
Speaker 2: real life operation, but still pretty cool. We'll be celebrating
Speaker 2: with a certain British aircraft that will be hopeful that
Speaker 2: will hopefully float your boat if you catch our drift.
Speaker 2: This will be the last vehicle event before the month
Speaker 2: long event pause. So we have two more events. We
Speaker 2: have this May event with the French Coastal Ship, and
Speaker 2: then for D Day you're gonna get the the a
Speaker 2: plane event. It's gonna be a prop plane. And then
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a month off before we go back
Speaker 2: into the events we've there's been a lot of hot
Speaker 2: hypothesizing in the community on what that June floatplane is
Speaker 2: gonna be. The it's the best guess is like the
Speaker 2: Supermarine Walrus or the Supermarine Sea Otter, or like a
Speaker 2: sea Fox or something like that. They're all very incredibly cursed.
Speaker 2: They're like these horribly cursed biplane froat floatplanes. They it
Speaker 2: looks like a twelve year old put them together by
Speaker 2: spare parts.
Speaker 1: Early days of aviation.
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, but it's so ugly. But like that is
Speaker 2: those are that kind of D Day related float planeans
Speaker 2: that were British, so expect you can look it up.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Rev might throw pictures on the screen
Speaker 2: for you, but it's it might be something like that.
Speaker 2: It's cool, it's unique, but usable in game. Probably not
Speaker 2: just funny to have, you know so, But I'm down
Speaker 2: for World War two events all day. I like that
Speaker 2: stuff a lot. So, and then during our one month
Speaker 2: event pause after that D Day event will be tank
Speaker 2: Football coming back. So if you guys like the Rocket
Speaker 2: League mode for war th Under, it will be coming
Speaker 2: back in July as well.
Speaker 1: Did you ever like that?
Speaker 2: I've never I've only spawned in that like two times,
Speaker 2: to be honest, and I was probably watching Netflix and
Speaker 2: had Spotify up and didn't care at all. So I.
Speaker 1: Think I appreciate it that it's a neat change of pace.
Speaker 1: If anything, this is the type of thing that an
Speaker 1: April Fools event should be. Yeah, not that there's any
Speaker 1: they wrong with running it in July. I think it's neat. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't think most people, like the average player is
Speaker 1: probably going to be too into it, but I think
Speaker 1: it's a nice change of pace for those of you
Speaker 1: who have been, you know, grinding out all of your
Speaker 1: F fifteen's and stuff, and you're tired of it and
Speaker 1: you want to do something different for a real quick run,
Speaker 1: and you're saying, Rev, I'd love to do something, but
Speaker 1: I refuse to do Nabel cool tank football. This gives
Speaker 1: you a nice change of pace. It's not terribly crazy
Speaker 1: in terms of like super important, and if you also
Speaker 1: happen to be a fan of the World Cup, then
Speaker 1: it's more things for you to play with. So awesome
Speaker 1: in all directions. Yeah, I like stuff like that. I
Speaker 1: like novelty things. I only like them when the greater
Speaker 1: game is working well. And yeah, feel free to drop
Speaker 1: in the comments, how wrong, rev is? I do feel
Speaker 1: like the game is mostly working pretty well right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so have about it, have a good time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are some small performance issues, but yeah, game
Speaker 2: is running pretty well, so.
Speaker 1: It is MMO doesn't have small performance that's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so through the Tank Football is done. Is
Speaker 2: The first event in the new event cycle will be
Speaker 2: in July. It's gonna be a ground vehicle, and it
Speaker 2: said a British ground vehicle. A single edge curved sword
Speaker 2: vehicle is sure to leave devastating slashes on your enemies.
Speaker 2: I think everyone agrees that's going to be the British
Speaker 2: Saber light Tank, which if you have played the British
Speaker 2: ground Tree before and you've used the Scimitar, it's the
Speaker 2: same thing, except take the scimitar, take the turret off,
Speaker 2: and put the Fox's turret on it. It's essentially what
Speaker 2: the Saber is, which the Scimitar already has the Fox's
Speaker 2: gun on it, just a different turret, so it's gonna
Speaker 2: be pretty much a scimitar. But the Scimitar is all right.
Speaker 2: People like the Fox, I think more than the Scimitar.
Speaker 2: The scimitar is a little slow. If you're gonna have
Speaker 2: that gun, you might as well be on the Fox.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's kind of tracks with their event
Speaker 2: vehicles being something that can be somewhat decent, but it's
Speaker 2: unique in some sort of way, so you know, if
Speaker 2: that's what it is, at least it's unique. We don't
Speaker 2: have another one of those in game. And then the
Speaker 2: final event that they teased is all the way in August.
Speaker 2: They're telling us about three months in advance on these events,
Speaker 2: and that is the one that Revduce is talking about
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about it other than the fact
Speaker 2: they said it's a First World War Soviet ship, So
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have. I've not looked at
Speaker 2: it that I don't know if people have hypothesized.
Speaker 1: I mean, that could be a litany of things. World
Speaker 1: War One is interesting because that's the time where basically
Speaker 1: every major nation had a lot of naval ships, like
Speaker 1: we talk about like the American Navy and modern times
Speaker 1: having a massive fleet. And while yeah, it's far more
Speaker 1: technologically advanced and there's more tonnage in terms of number
Speaker 1: of ships every country had done, y'all are gonna be
Speaker 1: blown away by this for those who don't study history,
Speaker 1: like an autistic nerd that I am, did you know
Speaker 1: that Brazil had one of the largest navies in the
Speaker 1: world around this time period one? So really, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of really cool things that that could be. I
Speaker 1: say that as a guy that y'all know looking I'm
Speaker 1: not the biggest fan of Russian stuff, but I'm very
Speaker 1: interesting to see what it is. And I'm also again
Speaker 1: kind of like biasly encouraged. Don't know how you would
Speaker 1: worried that with the fact that we're seeing more of
Speaker 1: this stuff seemingly to hint at earlier stages of the game.
Speaker 1: Right we're seeing more tanks, more boats, more even aircraft
Speaker 1: that are in that kind of four point zero five
Speaker 1: point zero and below range, which and I know I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that people who are above that range shouldn't
Speaker 1: get content. You absolutely should. If you're a high tier player,
Speaker 1: you deserve high to your content. But I am very
Speaker 1: happy to see these type of things being focused for
Speaker 1: those who aren't in that realm. I'm excited for things
Speaker 1: like that because it opens up the new players to
Speaker 1: feeling that freshness and good or bad, there's always going
Speaker 1: to be that group of players who feel like they're
Speaker 1: getting left behind and nobody loves us. And you know,
Speaker 1: you don't anybody to feel like that, whether they're a
Speaker 1: brand new player or have five thousand hours. You don't
Speaker 1: want anybody to feel forgotten. And that's probably my biggest
Speaker 1: win here. We'll see what they actually end up being,
Speaker 1: though it's gonna being a ship I actually hate. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I like the idea of what we're seeing,
Speaker 1: which is they're splitting. We're gonna make sure we're giving
Speaker 1: some to the mid levels. The low BR players and
Speaker 1: the high BR people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you did you make your sacrifice the Zeus today?
Speaker 2: Just as just a fair thought, any blood for the
Speaker 2: Blood God. It's storming like crazy outside. Hopefully my power
Speaker 2: doesn't go out. Pissed off Zeus?
Speaker 1: Dude, off guard? Are you talking like what he's saying.
Speaker 2: We actually had a whole conversation on street yesterday about
Speaker 2: how the fact that all these events they announced tend
Speaker 2: to be low like we're all lowered to your stuff
Speaker 2: like seven AHO and below. And it's like, I I
Speaker 2: really like that some people in the community were like, oh,
Speaker 2: they're not getting anything new, and then they were promptly
Speaker 2: attacked by everybody else that actually plays the game and
Speaker 2: doesn't just want to play top tier all the time.
Speaker 2: This is great. I think it's fantastic. Now, obviously this
Speaker 2: doesn't involve the major updates at all. The major updates
Speaker 2: could still come out with you know, an F thirty
Speaker 2: five in four months and you know, but and this
Speaker 2: is just a way to like tide people over. But
Speaker 2: I don't know, I think it's cool. I like when
Speaker 2: they don't just push top tier, top tier, top tier,
Speaker 2: because I think Geigen is probably starting to realize, well,
Speaker 2: they've probably known for a while that they are kind
Speaker 2: of in a corner. They don't really have anywhere to go.
Speaker 2: They've finished their ground trees. Essentially, air is within a
Speaker 2: year of being done, Naval is dead, So what are
Speaker 2: they gonna do? You know, they kind of have to
Speaker 2: start getting people excited to play mid and low tier again,
Speaker 2: and so doing events just based around that is nice.
Speaker 2: And another caveat about these events is they just these
Speaker 2: are five events they've talked about. Four events they talked about.
Speaker 2: Only one is Russian, which is nice because the biggest
Speaker 2: gripe recently has been it feels like every event or
Speaker 2: every battle pass and everything was just always a Russian
Speaker 2: vehicle lately. So thank god we're getting something that's not Russian.
Speaker 2: So for the least the next three months, we're only
Speaker 2: going to get one Russian boat. And I mean, if
Speaker 2: you're listening, how many people actually do the boat events?
Speaker 2: I just take that as a as a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks off of grinding more than their homework, you know.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I don't this is what it is.
Speaker 2: I'm excited for it. I like mid tier a lot,
Speaker 2: probably my favorite brs in the game are like four
Speaker 2: to oher to eight seven. You know, it's like my
Speaker 2: favorite range, so I'm excited to see it. So and then.
Speaker 1: Speaking, I mean that's where I'm at.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And in speaking of the major updates, they told
Speaker 2: us nothing about the major update. There's a whole thing
Speaker 2: about the upcoming major update with a really cool picture
Speaker 2: of an A ten which cool thumbnail. They said, the
Speaker 2: next major updates around the corner, and we're not gonna
Speaker 2: tell anything about it. That's since you all, they said,
Speaker 2: so good luck on the major update. Not too much.
Speaker 2: They've told us no no hint towards what the vehicles
Speaker 2: are gonna be. There are two four small things like
Speaker 2: that they did announce, like gameplay wise, but no hints
Speaker 2: towards what to expect vehicle wise from the next major update.
Speaker 2: And one is a tank. I use a lot, so
Speaker 2: I'll tackle that one real quick. And it's the term three.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are excited about that,
Speaker 2: especially those tank nerds out there, because people have always
Speaker 2: given the term three, which is the premium German tank
Speaker 2: at eight seven. Now it was eight three, now it's
Speaker 2: eight to seven. They just up tiered at this update.
Speaker 2: They've always given it a hard time because it's like
Speaker 2: a gyroscopic turret that should have like a three plane stabilizer.
Speaker 2: Meaning if you're listening and I'm trying to I gave
Speaker 2: you a visual on the video, But if you're listening,
Speaker 2: think of like a ball sitting in a cup. You know,
Speaker 2: no matter how you move the cup, the ball's always
Speaker 2: gonna be in place, kind of like a chicken's head.
Speaker 2: That's how the term three's turret should be. You know,
Speaker 2: your chassis could be on like a forty five degree angle,
Speaker 2: but the top of your turret should still be flat.
Speaker 2: So they're actually implementing that now, and they would like
Speaker 2: you to know how much effort it took. So they
Speaker 2: said it took a moderately complex It was a moderately
Speaker 2: complex task that required both a custom trigonomech trigger Jesus
Speaker 2: trigonometric solution to a three axis orientation handling, and deep
Speaker 2: integration with the Dogger engine. So there you go. Apparently
Speaker 2: they worked pretty hard on that and they want you
Speaker 2: to be proud of it. But there was a pretty
Speaker 2: cool little graphic in the Dead blog where you can
Speaker 2: swipe your mouth left and right as fast as you
Speaker 2: can and see the difference. So it's cool term three
Speaker 2: is getting a little updated. I don't think there's any
Speaker 2: other tank in the game that does that. I might
Speaker 2: be wrong, maybe like the Google Blitz or something.
Speaker 1: It might be the only one that has a three
Speaker 1: plane stabilizer.
Speaker 2: Yeaes stabilized.
Speaker 1: That's a very niche set ueah of all tanking. But
Speaker 1: it's that they go on to say, the primary challenge
Speaker 1: was not the mathematics itself, Night and Gale, but adapting
Speaker 1: the stabilization logic to support a highly unconventional control scheme
Speaker 1: while preserving precision and consists.
Speaker 2: My god, dude, someone will really put their thinking cap
Speaker 2: on to put that sentence together. Yeah they won't. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so we got GPT Yeah the good translation in that time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so term three is getting some love. I always saw
Speaker 2: tiktoks making fun of warth Under, comparing it to the
Speaker 2: other tank simulator games like worth Under's so realistic. But
Speaker 2: look how the term three acts in this game. Like
Speaker 2: Roadblocks is one of those games that goofy mod for
Speaker 2: Roadblocks that has tanks in it, Like worth Under, They're
Speaker 2: like Roadblocks has better tank physics than warth Under. Look
Speaker 2: at the term so now they're finally getting caught up
Speaker 2: a little bit. The term has been out forever, but
Speaker 2: they're finally giving it some love. So that's if you
Speaker 2: love the term. Most people hate the term because fighting
Speaker 2: it is annoying as hell, But if you like it,
Speaker 2: it's kind of cool. Son is so dramatic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just the Internet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so any way, Internet. See. Another thing that they
Speaker 2: did announce is a new missile simulation graph window. So
Speaker 2: what does the hell does that mean? That pretty much?
Speaker 2: That means if you are one of those guys who
Speaker 2: plays a lot top to youer air, or you watch
Speaker 2: a lot of videos on top of your air and
Speaker 2: they are good, Lord, it's raining outside, and they always
Speaker 2: show you those graphs of how missiles perform, and you're like,
Speaker 2: where are these getting these graphs from? You know, it
Speaker 2: shows you how they perform, you know, in the first
Speaker 2: ten seconds to the last thirty seconds, you know, or
Speaker 2: like range and whatever, and you know it's just these
Speaker 2: fancy graphs, these line graphs for every missile that's gonna
Speaker 2: come pair missile statistics, So you know, the stat card
Speaker 2: is not going to be the only thing you have
Speaker 2: to look at. There's gonna be an in game line
Speaker 2: graphs now for each missile, so you can compare how
Speaker 2: they perform at range, at speed, at altitude this missile
Speaker 2: compared to that missile. They're putting it in game now,
Speaker 2: which is pretty cool. That has existed on third party
Speaker 2: websites in the past. Stat Shark, I think, has stuff
Speaker 2: like that, So they're pretty much just taking this third
Speaker 2: party idea. They're taking stats that are readily available in
Speaker 2: the game files that other third party people have used
Speaker 2: and made graphs out of, and they're just doing it themselves.
Speaker 2: It's just another layer of transparency. If you want to
Speaker 2: really get down to like the meat and potatoes of
Speaker 2: your top tier missiles, you're gonna be able to do
Speaker 2: that now. Most people probably never going to open that window,
Speaker 2: but it's gonna be there with the next major updates.
Speaker 1: So the other thing I mentioned was putting all radars
Speaker 1: on like a cyclical flow, allowing you to essentially automate
Speaker 1: that process versus manually controlling it. I think that's also neat.
Speaker 1: That's one that is and they even said it in
Speaker 1: their devlog that it's a mouthful. It is such a
Speaker 1: mouthful that I want to see it in action before
Speaker 1: I render any judgment that could be beneficial to more casual,
Speaker 1: higher tier air radar players like myself, for people like
Speaker 1: you and those who go crazy meta, that's probably not
Speaker 1: for y'all at all.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Rev is discussing the they, So man, how
Speaker 2: do I explain this? So at the moment in top tier,
Speaker 2: you can manually sweep your radar, I think the key
Speaker 2: fault the default keybind might be hold alt and then
Speaker 2: you can grab your radar and swipe it left and right.
Speaker 2: So instead of just expanding your radar scale out and
Speaker 2: hoping it picks something up, you can like narrow your
Speaker 2: band and manually sweep to a sector that you want
Speaker 2: to look at. So that's already in game. From my understanding,
Speaker 2: what they're doing is they're gavving and they're adding a
Speaker 2: key bind where while you're manually sweeping, you can switch
Speaker 2: between the targets it's picking up while it's in that
Speaker 2: manually sweep band. So it just gives you a little
Speaker 2: bit more niche like like like usability. I do know
Speaker 2: some top tier guys that do it a lot. I
Speaker 2: know I watch my buddy Rico. He does that a lot.
Speaker 2: So there are people that use that a lot of
Speaker 2: those BVR guys that play high tier, they play high altitude,
Speaker 2: they're really trying to make sure they fire on the
Speaker 2: exact target they want, and they're sweeping at what they
Speaker 2: think is their weak point to take that area out first.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be good for them. So it's just another
Speaker 2: another way to increase the usability of top tier planes.
Speaker 2: So another key bind.
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping it allows me to stop picking up
Speaker 1: freaking missiles. Let me rotate off dis missile. It won't
Speaker 1: make me stop yeah looking at Yeah, that's what I want.
Speaker 2: And another top tier air change is They also announced
Speaker 2: that there's gonna be updated damage and X ray models
Speaker 2: for the mid twenty seven, the mid twenty three, and
Speaker 2: the F fifteen a's, which is interesting. They already did
Speaker 2: this on I believe the mid twenty nine. I think
Speaker 2: they did this a couple months on or the frog
Speaker 2: Foot or both, I don't remember which one. A couple
Speaker 2: months ago they announced that they were going to be
Speaker 2: upgrading the top tier plane models to be adding a
Speaker 2: lot more components on what things could go wrong if
Speaker 2: you get hit electronically. So it seems like those that
Speaker 2: the Farmer Aircraft frames like the Make twenty three, Make
Speaker 2: twenty seven are getting that, Oh not the farmer, the flogger. Sorry,
Speaker 2: the twenty three and the twenty seven they're getting upgraded models.
Speaker 2: And the F fifteen they have pictures of it, and
Speaker 2: the F sixteens and the F sixteen. Oh they did
Speaker 2: say the F sixteen's they didn't show a picture of
Speaker 2: the F sixteen. Interesting, Okay, so you go, so two
Speaker 2: Soviet it's two Americans.
Speaker 1: Yep, it's multiple F fifteen models of sixteen models and
Speaker 1: twenty threes and twenty sevens Now, it doesn't go into
Speaker 1: whether it will be all of the models, though I'd
Speaker 1: be honest, I'd assume it would be all models of fifteen, sixteens,
Speaker 1: et cetera. But yeah, four different ones. Two on the
Speaker 1: Russian side, two on the I guess you could call
Speaker 1: it NATO side. And those will get done. But that
Speaker 1: is your major points except for one teeny tiny thing
Speaker 1: that I know Gal is going to spend money on.
Speaker 1: There's a new pack coming out. This pack is four
Speaker 1: dollars a gale. But inside this pack you get the
Speaker 1: missile knows where it is titled, and the anti air
Speaker 1: tree decals.
Speaker 2: They're just trying to get you to spend money that
Speaker 2: came out two months ago. I think. So it's been
Speaker 2: out for two months.
Speaker 1: And yet do I want to spend four dollars of the.
Speaker 2: D I've already spent four dollars on that. I already
Speaker 2: bought that the day it came out. Actually, so you
Speaker 2: are right, yeah, so that's so yeah, that is actually
Speaker 2: so yeah. They want you to go buy a four
Speaker 2: dollars pack because you read the dev blog. They hope
Speaker 2: that you got excited while reading the dev blog and
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, I'll go spend four dollars. You're right.
Speaker 2: I forgot about that. Oh oh and we forgot oops,
Speaker 2: totally forgot. Uh. They also are upgrading the multifunction displays
Speaker 2: for a lot of top tier aircraft. So if you're
Speaker 2: a simplayer or your guy who just likes the nerd
Speaker 2: out over over your front person, your first person view,
Speaker 2: your multi function displays are being made more authentic. So
Speaker 2: that's cool. And also two or through four air five
Speaker 2: five vehicles they said is coming out for the next
Speaker 2: major update. So I guess I forgot all about this.
Speaker 2: They did say what's some things that are coming out
Speaker 2: next major update, but nothing top tier. Really one big
Speaker 2: one is another riddle. They said for the US, we'll
Speaker 2: have a magic aircraft with his namesake being able to communicate.
Speaker 2: It was spirits. Everyone is saying, that's the F one
Speaker 2: oh one voodoo, which is a pretty cool it's a
Speaker 2: it's a century family of aircraft. It belongs to the
Speaker 2: same thing as the F one hundred, the F one
Speaker 2: o four, the F one o six, And we don't
Speaker 2: have the F one o seven, and I think the
Speaker 2: F one o three is an early version F the
Speaker 2: F one o six, So this is one of the
Speaker 2: last century aircraft that we don't have yet. So it
Speaker 2: got from I was saying, yes.
Speaker 1: I you you're saying one o six.
Speaker 2: Right, No, the one o one, the one o one voodoo.
Speaker 1: You're saying one on one right, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, What do you want? B two spirit?
Speaker 2: The B two spirit? But okay, I saw someone said
Speaker 2: the B two spirit. But it wouldn't make sense that
Speaker 2: the B two spirit is able to communicate with spirits
Speaker 2: right where they say the same word twice, that's the voodoos.
Speaker 2: They kind of tone.
Speaker 1: I think that's the point of it. It's it's so
Speaker 1: on the nose.
Speaker 2: Maybe a B two would be nuts, but I think
Speaker 2: it's the one on one, but we could be right.
Speaker 1: It would also be just as useful as the Nighthawk.
Speaker 2: So that's true. I mean, I don't think they'd bring
Speaker 2: the B two in yet, but that would be crazy,
Speaker 2: I guess. I mean, it would be just as useful
Speaker 2: as the Nighthawk. Who knows. Maybe you know now that
Speaker 2: you say that they could bring it in with the
Speaker 2: nuclear thunder event coming back, that could be your nuke
Speaker 2: craft that you bring in for America. Yeah, honestly cool,
Speaker 2: that would be cool. I don't think it's that would
Speaker 2: be cool. I don't think it's gonna be the B two,
Speaker 2: I mean, but it could be. That'd be that'd be badass.
Speaker 2: I think it's the finite. My my gam my vote
Speaker 2: is the definite one. If I'll put money on it
Speaker 2: right now, I got five dollars.
Speaker 1: Is cool. I think my only counter to why it
Speaker 1: would be unlikely to be the voodoo, and again that's
Speaker 1: just giving opinion, is you're talking about something that's if
Speaker 1: we're throwing out BR, what BR should it be. That's
Speaker 1: a lot lower than BR we would be talking about
Speaker 1: with thunder that's yeah. I would think in the nines.
Speaker 2: I know, nine to three, probably probably Nino.
Speaker 1: That just seems like a really random item to to
Speaker 1: hype up and bring in, you.
Speaker 2: Know, uh, yeah, you're not wrong. But they also brought
Speaker 2: the F one o six in recently, which was the
Speaker 2: same thing essentially, not the same aircraft, but the same
Speaker 2: bre for miners saying the F one oh one, the
Speaker 2: only thing it really had were the aim for falcos
Speaker 2: or the falcons, which is what the F one o
Speaker 2: six pretty much has. So expect if it is the Voodoo,
Speaker 2: expect those early not great American missiles that the F
Speaker 2: one oh six had the event vehicle from last year.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it ever had a gun. I
Speaker 2: know a lot of people are saying it had nuclear
Speaker 2: capable payload. I don't think they're gonna give us nuclear
Speaker 2: capable payload, but it did have possibility of carrying that.
Speaker 2: But I think it's the Voodoo. Honestly, if it's the
Speaker 2: B two, that'd be cooler, but I doubt they're gonna
Speaker 2: do that. The most heavily classified would.
Speaker 1: Sell a lot better too. We're just from a yeah
Speaker 1: it's nail perspective. Yeah, Well, because the last topic we
Speaker 1: have today is about an eighty dollars item, and if
Speaker 1: that's what they if they were making eighty dollars items,
Speaker 1: B two makes a hell of a lot more sense
Speaker 1: than what they want to sell you.
Speaker 2: Well. And then yeah, they also did announce quickly the
Speaker 2: Washington B one for the RAF that is a British
Speaker 2: B twenty nine that's coming. They announced a new Indonesian
Speaker 2: Leopard two. They announced Sweden getting Norway's Nomad SAM top
Speaker 2: tier SPA and the chev Shirvana Ukrainia for the Soviets
Speaker 2: it's a boat, and the USS North Carolina. So there
Speaker 2: you go. That is everything that they talked about in
Speaker 2: the dead blog. Boats, planes, tanks, stuff like that. You
Speaker 2: know it's worth under so but Rev wants to really
Speaker 2: talk about this boat that they want to sell you
Speaker 2: because he thinks it's the best purchase you can ever make.
Speaker 1: First Off, don't lie my name. That's why we're not
Speaker 1: cousins anymore. Second off, Second off, look, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: y'all know that for those that don't know, there might
Speaker 1: be people who don't know. By now, I actually do
Speaker 1: enjoy naval in SDA in SDFC, I enjoyed naveling war Thunder,
Speaker 1: even though I acknowledge it's not a very good mode. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll just sit there and tell y'all we actually had
Speaker 1: a whole podcast. We're not gonna make y'all rehash that.
Speaker 1: But this game will bring in things that you know,
Speaker 1: and I understand it. It's a game is here to
Speaker 1: make money. I've actually got no problem with that. And
Speaker 1: if people do, cool, don't don't you know, spend with
Speaker 1: your wallet. But the big item that's coming, and the
Speaker 1: only reason I care so much is because it calls
Speaker 1: eighty American dollars like freedom dollars, and what you're getting
Speaker 1: is a Rank seven French battleship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, eighty dollars for any quote, I think is ludicrous.
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's gonna spend eighty dollars on any boat.
Speaker 2: I'm sure somebody does. They're not. They wouldn't be asking eighty.
Speaker 1: I would spend it on the Iowa, for example.
Speaker 2: But like I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I'll put it this way. The bad selling point of
Speaker 1: this is even in the first lines, is like of
Speaker 1: one of the last battleships to every sale, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I wonder why probably because they charged eighty bucks then
Speaker 1: like they do now, I'm sorry war Thunder as one
Speaker 1: of your few naval players. Like cool, it'll be nice
Speaker 1: the one week this goes on sale. I have more
Speaker 1: than three actual opponents that aren't bots in my naval battles,
Speaker 1: which be neat. But come on, guys and gals, eighty
Speaker 1: dollars but the art, Okay, I want to be objective
Speaker 1: and I want to be fair. There are neat things
Speaker 1: about the gen bar. For example, it has two front turrets,
Speaker 1: each have four turrets inside three hundred and eighty millimeters guns.
Speaker 1: And those four guns that each turd has, so eight
Speaker 1: three hundred and eight milimeter guns. Is that's spicy? Like
Speaker 1: that's that's the ICEE firepower, you know. But again based
Speaker 1: on where the state of naval is right now, So
Speaker 1: then come in with an eighty dollars price tag. Look,
Speaker 1: I get the argument, because if you made this price
Speaker 1: tag forty then you have to then go argue, okay
Speaker 1: with a bringing out the ans. You fifty seven felon,
Speaker 1: but we made this forty bucks. Now we got to
Speaker 1: sell the felon for forty bucks. I get it. You
Speaker 1: want to maintain a standard and that's an actual thing,
Speaker 1: but still eighty bucks for this.
Speaker 2: Thing we talked about Yeah, on our one of our
Speaker 2: last episodes, we talked about how Naval is dying and
Speaker 2: one of the things they could do to fix it.
Speaker 2: And I think charging eighty dollars for your premiums in
Speaker 2: Naval for a top tier battleship is not how you
Speaker 2: get people to play Naval. If you want to get
Speaker 2: people to play Naval, cut every boat price in half.
Speaker 2: Take a loss on your boat, like development, see if
Speaker 2: more people start buying them and playing them, run it
Speaker 2: for a month, you know, like the only thing they're
Speaker 2: doing is like nobody opened that ninety nine point five
Speaker 2: percent of players opened up that dev blog. The people
Speaker 2: who did open the dev blog saw eighty dollars price
Speaker 2: tag battleship clicked off. I'm never gonna buy that, Like
Speaker 2: that's that's riddly.
Speaker 1: The thing is like, it's not even it's not even
Speaker 1: a case of like, hey, this is going to be
Speaker 1: the best ship in the game. And now I guess
Speaker 1: they could, right, it is very possible to Snail could
Speaker 1: just decide that we're going to uber bump this up.
Speaker 1: When I was talking about what it has weaponry wise,
Speaker 1: which in terms of like as a ship. Yeah, three
Speaker 1: hundred eighty millimeters is a lot until you remember that
Speaker 1: the Iowas had over four hundred milimeters. Yeah, it's saw
Speaker 1: I used, which never was freaking real is shooting basically
Speaker 1: intercontunistical ballistic missiles that year. Yeah, like, this is not
Speaker 1: going to come in for eighty bucks and make you
Speaker 1: a top tier good player. No, you're buying this because
Speaker 1: you have a passion of French naval history, and even
Speaker 1: as a collector, that is a high price point for
Speaker 1: something that will not throw you to the top of
Speaker 1: the diminishing naval leaderboards though, and won't even outperform the
Speaker 1: big naval battleship update we just had a couple of
Speaker 1: months ago.
Speaker 2: M h A lot of money, man, yep, I don't
Speaker 2: think I I wouldn't recommend buying it, But I also
Speaker 2: don't play top tier naval because I like fighting real
Speaker 2: people and I don't like having two teammates and two enemies,
Speaker 2: and that's what top tier naval is. So eighty dollars
Speaker 2: I think is y'all are going to buy it?
Speaker 1: Use my link, that's what you say, you care. Use
Speaker 1: reduce's link. If you're a few naval players out there
Speaker 1: like me and you're like, you know what, revs, screw it.
Speaker 1: I am willing to spend eighty bucks for some French history,
Speaker 1: and you know what, more power to you. I've literally
Speaker 1: gone after things that have no real use in game,
Speaker 1: but I wanted it because it was part of American
Speaker 1: history and I respect that. That's you use my link
Speaker 1: saving three percent on that eighty dollars purchase.
Speaker 2: And receiver his did cant. Yeah, So yeah, that's pretty much.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's pretty much all the big stuff.
Speaker 2: And that was a lot. I mean, that has a
Speaker 2: serious amount of information that came out. So if anything,
Speaker 2: if the you know, the point of today's episode is
Speaker 2: bravo to the Snail on actually being super transparent about
Speaker 2: the next company, the next events coming up, and I'm
Speaker 2: glad they're finally listening to the community and the committee
Speaker 2: wants a little bit more of a heads up but
Speaker 2: when the events are so and what they're gonna be
Speaker 2: and if they should plan around them. So there you go,
Speaker 2: a little bit transparency from the Snail. Never hurt. I
Speaker 2: have nothing bad to say about that death blog at all. Like,
Speaker 2: I wait, a little bit about the ship, but that
Speaker 2: wasn't even the same blog, so bravo to the same.
Speaker 1: That's even negative about the blog either, Like I appreciate
Speaker 1: the transparency of telling us what's coming, I just don't
Speaker 1: like what's coming.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all that's fair.
Speaker 1: I give them big golf collapse for the actual post. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Keep that going, guid Joe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully we get more of those. Hopefully that's a
Speaker 2: trend that they're going to just start putting a little
Speaker 2: effort in and be more transparent. So good job, Guidjen.
Speaker 2: There are way more developers who do way worse of
Speaker 2: a job when it comes to transparency. So I'm pretty
Speaker 2: proud of it. I'm excited for some of the stuff
Speaker 2: they're coming out, and hopefully you guys are too, hopefully.
