Why cant we configure this as we want ?

In this update which is not mentioned for some reason you've changed the SK60b rb05 to AGM-12 bullpups, this is an unhistorical change and a massive nerf to an already kicked to the curb aircraft. Why is this not mentioned in your changelog? why was this change made? 

[Vedrfölnir 492]

 

2.5.1.137 → 2.5.1.138 changes:

Sk 60B – loadout changed: 2x Rb 05A → 2x AGM-12B

 

May I ask how and when did Sweden ever owned or used AGM-12B’s, in what documentation stated the Swedish armed forces purchased Bullpup missiles and used it on the SK-60. Despite the fact in everything I’ve red regarding the SK-60, it never used the AGM-12B and only the RB-05A’s as its AGM. This is unhistorical and incorrect loadout which the SK-60B shouldn’t received.

Can we have these back on SK-60?

Thanks.

Was it an accident the Rb05s got removed from the Sk60b?

Did this somehow accidentally change the rbo5A's into bullpups?

T-54 (1947), T-54 (1949), T-54 (1951) — the controlling of the AA machine gun has been changed. Now, this MG is controlled by a gunner (report).

The AAMG should be controlled by the loader other than the gunner. Either report and the Russian log state the situation.

Please fix this minor mistake to prevent misunderstanding, much appreciated!

In this same update the Rb-05 on the SK60 got replaced by the AGM-12 but this is not mentioned in the changelog. Is this intentional or a bug? If it were intentional why was it done when Sweden never used the AGM-12?

[Dula Peep 1,655]

Why did the Sk 60B receive AGM-12B? It's an unhistorical change, no Swedish planes uses these. The 60B only ever used the Rb05A. Not the AGM-12B.

 

Viggen variants could use TV Mavericks but those aren't Bullpups either.

"This way is more balanced for gameplay." Can you please explain this Stona ? It makes no sense to me.

You have no idea of how many matches I threw into the garbage can because of landing with no engine at all on the edge of the AF. Thanks for fixing it!

It's a bug and should be fixed soon.

[Охраняет-Камни 6,650]

• A-129CBT — A bug has been fixed where 20mm gun pods were absent. A bug has been fixed that resulted in the removal of the flare modification when installing the IRCM.

These bugs are still in the game.

Thanks for the quick update.

"I think it would allow to "spam" smokes." And what is wrong about this ? It would be completely up to player if he wants bigger smoke screen for shorter time or smaller smoke screen for longer time.

Nice fixes, esp. the fix with the airfield repair. When I saw a new post in the devblog section, I was for a second thinking, "Meh, probably a boat or even worse a tank devblog"... then I saw the "It's fixed.." title and I suddenly felt happier than if it would've been an actual devblog.

 

Best regards,

Phil

I can second that. Please fix it, the vehicle is/was broken long enough now.

[Knot-head 147]

All I can say is nice work.

The bug affecting repairing on the edge of the airfield still hasn't been fixed. Was playing with friends, had my engine shot out and taxi'd onto the runway. I was hardly 50m away from the landing strip and had airfield aa behind me, but I still wasn't able to repair. I flew a plane with a blacked out engine 13km then landed it and taxi'd, weaving between trees, and the airfield engineers or even the pilot couldn't be bothered to get out and push. Bruh.

Hello, Gaijin devs. When you will solve Fps drops constantly on PS4, mainly when bombs and artilery is dropped, textures that dont load full on vehicles?? Please, 5 months with that problem and nothing is done, it's so bad too play that ploblems.

[CrossEyedN00b 2,397]

I really like this series a lot!

May I ask what is the status of a fix for radar ghosts?
If you play radar SPAA in one match, then play another match in radar SPAA (doesn't have to be the same one) you get ghost blips on green heading scale. It gets resolved by restarting a game (so basically creating new session file) hence my suspicion would be to look in there first.
