Dreams Come True: Mistel 2

Sometimes, things happen that you wouldn’t even dare to dream of. Meet the Mistel 2, a very peculiar aircraft(s!), featuring a Fw 190 literally carrying a Ju 88 bomb. Due to this unusual configuration, it earned the nickname “Father and Son”.

Improvements to DIRCM

The missile used to know where it was at all times, then it took a laser in the seeker!

In the upcoming major update, we’ll be releasing an overhauled version of DIRCM that addresses several shortcomings.

In the game, all DIRCM currently function similarly to regular IRCM with very wide radiation sectors. This means that the jammer is always active and emitting as long as the player has IRCM enabled. It works in a fixed sector around the carrying vehicle regardless of where the threat is, and...

Improvements to the Controls for CCRP Bombing!

CCRP Bombing, now simple and easy to understand!

In the upcoming major update, we’ve reworked the controls for CCRP (Constantly Computed Release Point) bombing. The previous mechanic was sufficient when CCRP was a niche tool used by only the most experienced pilots. However with the introduction of Nuclear Escalation, using the automated system to drop nuclear bombs, CCRP has become the primary method for delivering a nuclear strike. The old interface however does have some drawbacks. We’ve...
