The overheating/worn auto-cannon barrels said "The hell it is!".

Might be as well implement the gun/cannon condition, and add penalty of CEP when barrel is overheating or worn out. It can be repaired when replaceable spares (as ammunition) can be used.

Some vintage and shoddy-built barrels still have issues with that, compare to the much advanced guns with >90s tech.

Barrel overheating won't be approached in build 1000.1 . We hope to get there by 2025

Those new updates are brilliant, I love it so far .

However, with the new aircraft weight and maneuvrability mechanic, which is great, will the aircrafts loadouts be updated new loadouts with 1 fueltank or no fueltank ?

Like for example :

- 6 AAM or 4 AAM or 2 wingtip AAM ?
- 1 central line tank and 6 AAM or 4 AAM ?

Indeed, such air defense loadouts give the plane the ability to move in its entire flight domain without restriction and with no to very low maneuvrability decrease (outside fuel load).

Also, in the next updates, can you include a jettison fuel tanks/armements(except self defense AAM) function ?
As well as an option in the loadouts screen which would be like take off with 50% inboard fuel with a little check box ? Indeed, this fuel setup is very common for air-defense scenarios and is often use as a benchmark to compare aircraft. So since it's quiet common, it would spare the time of setting a fuel value manually.

Thanks

Is it common for aircraft to take off with only 50% fuel on a combat mission? I've heard of this when dealing with an ord load that would exceed max take off weight with full onboard fuel, then tanking after climbing to altitude. But I haven't heard of reducing fuel to improve kinematics for an air superiority mission. Is this really a thing?

it's valid but we've got to make sure players can't easily crash their planes. That's bigger.

Just throwing out ideas here, but would it be possible to add a jettison fuel tanks button, and if needed, a window will pop up saying "if you jettison tanks, the plane will not be able to make it back to base", then a yes/no option to follow through with the jettison.

to clarify...do I need to grab all the updates and apply them in order or do I just grab RC5 and go from there?

Are updates beyond RC2 available to Steam users?

Thank you for your outstanding work [;)]
