Drones no longer get the last of the damage on the lead plane when it died.
Great, just great!
Fast Eng. start bug was fixed.
Small things, but glad HT was listening!
Added light sorcing for cockpit lights and muzzle flashes.
Lovely!
Added a perk balancing system. Both points and cost are adjusted based on your
Countries numbers.
Woohoo! A lot more Spit14s and Tempests and 262s for the Rooks! Muhahahaha
Fixed a bug in the panzer where if the turret was turned it exposed the inside of the tank.
This was what was causing the small arms deaths.
Weeeeellll waddayaknow..
I'd like to see people insert foot in their mouths when this heated debate took place. Yes, it's an admitted bug. So, where does all that BS theories on why .50s can so easily knock tanks out go now? To the dumpsters.
Adjusted some component hardness on vehicles.
Not sure if this is because HTC admits the turrets or caterpillars were too weak, or just game play concession, but it's gotta be a good thing for GVs!
Fixed prop feathering on LA5 & LA7
This, I don't know what it is about. Something probably involved with the "mid-air engine off" method debates? This seems to mean that the La-5FNs and La-7s had something that effected them in maneuvering.. but what?
Adjusted large bore cannon lethality against non-armored targets.
Does this mean 75mm HEs now are worth something?? Or Ostie 37mms are lot weaker against buildings now? Or both?? Anyhow, must be a good thing!
Lowered ostwinds armor penetration.
Dunno how to look at this one.
All in all, great! You really were listening HT! My faith in HTC just grew 237% :)

I'm pretty sure it means the Ostwind's days of being a good anti-tank platform are coming to an end. Viva la Panzer IV H!!! Viva la Tiger I!!!!

Seems alot of gv whines have been adjusted for this patch.

That is all good. Fixes, some new staff etc.
But honestly this list looks more like a patch, not the one of a new version which were in development longer, than any version before. It is possibly more features in this version, which are kept hidden to make us all happy when 1.11 finally out; or majority of mission arena is build already, and 1.12 will be out fast after 1.11. It is also possible that mission arena will be in 1.11 after all.

mission arena in 1.11 - not likely.
It's a partial list, there's no mention of the new planes. Question is will the 163 be included or kept for the mision arena?

YEP what Fariz said, was wondering the same!
-
bigger cities - much longer down times
sounds like a major change in strategy - sounds like more than a "patch" to me
-
didnt you know la5s and 7s can glide now almost a sector with only 6k or so 8k is best though I squeezed in an la5 landing once after cv got my fuel from 4 k and 3/4 sector.

I believe this is adressing the .303 kills that were filmed and turned into HTC. No need to start belittling the .50s arguments... unless the engine was exposed by this too.

those 50 cal arguement belittled themselves even the chart ht post didnt support what you saw in terms of angle and range at which pnzr were/are killed.
We can only assume that if 303s were killing panzrs then it stands to reason that the 50s exagerated the effect since they are the most shot calibre in ah.
-
We can only assume that ALL weapons had an exagerated effect in one particular area, though it should not have been for all damage.
Tracks, engines and even turrets may still be vulnerable to .50s. HiTech didn't say one way or the other. One thing seems more certain... .303s won't be effective at all.
Basically, a very vague statement is being made as some sort of victory cry when it actaully says very little in regards to the whole thing.

Patch or not, these are good developments by a proactive company. They address community concerns and were done with all the mission theater work that is underway
All these recent AW threads remind me of how spoiled we are over here. It's nice to get an update every quarter, as opposed to say every four years or so.

1.11 to me means a list of minor change / bug fixes / enahncements.
I think Mission arena will fall under a 1.2 level designation.

Me too. But then considering that it sounds like all the terrains are being changed significantly, that's probably very time consuming.
-
Good fixes .... however, I'm waiting for new a/c and the mission oriented arena. I hope those are not *all* the features of the new version.
-
I think that's why HT said "here are *some* of the changes."
-
PERK the stuka! :D
Seriously, I hope they throw in the G model as well. One stuka aint enough!
-
Perk ballencing by country size..
assume this means that what ever ratio the size of your country has to 1/3rd of the population of the arena you recieve as a perk multiplier..
in a 300 person arena
with rooks 50, bish 100 and knights 150.
A rook would revieve a X2 perk multiplier..A bish would recieve a X1 perk multiplier and a knight would recieve a .666 perk mutiplier.
Effect on game play..hard to say. Probably nothing, but its a start.
In the extrordinarilly rare instance of the two smaller countries teaming up on the bigger country..this would be unfair....
-
my only question is how big a FPS hit will the new lighting effects make?
-
The La5 and La7 weren't the only planes that seemed to glide awfully well... the P-51 and some others were pretty excellent gliders too... just as good.
Things like the Typhoon glide like a truck.
-Soda
The Assassins.
-
190 D9 also glides like a sail plane
-
bahhhhh no change to the name of the Hien... :(

I think youre right fariz, I think HTC has a few suprises for us.
probably in the form of some extra planes if they are driving superfly with that bullwhip again ;)
what i suspect though is a lot of the time was spent on the mission arena and will not be out with 1.11.But the time isnt wasted, it will come all the sooner for 1.12 :)
I also think HTC's changes to the strat in the form of reworking towns and factories into denser targets and having to change every map to this new format must have taken a long time!

Er and the two countries with the largest numbers picking on the country with the smallest numbers like we see almost daily with bish and us knits hitting rooks is fair????????
pongo think before you say things like this :)

looks arround.
