00:00Hello everybody and welcome to the second episode of the patch 1.47 roundup series.

00:04In this episode I'll quickly discuss my time on the dev server, the preliminary patch notes

00:09for 1.47 and any miscellaneous changes that have been shown on the dev blog.

00:16Now first of all I'll talk about my time on the dev server for patch 1.47.

00:20I didn't actually get an awful lot of time on there because basically Gaijin did do a

00:24news thread saying about the dev server, what time it was going to be open and all that.

00:29But it didn't show up on the news feed in the launcher so I didn't actually realise

00:34until quite a bit later that it was open.

00:36I got on about 10 o'clock and it was due to close until about 11 I think so not that long

00:43at all and then I had all sorts of technical difficulties.

00:47So basically I only got to preview most of the tanks and planes, I will link to the episodes.

00:52I only got two test flights done.

00:55From my extremely limited time I do approve of most of the new additions, they are pretty good.

01:01The only downside so far has been that Britain, yeah the RAF hasn't got anything, not one

01:06single solitary plane.

01:09But other than that most of the additions I saw were pretty good.

01:13I did manage to quickly test fly the B-29 and the Focke-Wulf 200, again I'll link you

01:18to them.

01:20But then because of the technical difficulties, basically I lost all sound for some reason

01:24and plus the dev server was going to close in like 10 minutes so I didn't get much

01:28more recording done.

01:30There were of course other things added in the patch, modifications and stuff like that

01:34but again I didn't really get a chance to test them out.

01:38Just going to let the last of these photos cycle through and then I'll quickly read

01:42out the patch notes.

01:44It seems to be mainly adding new modifications and fixing bugs rather than heavy on content

01:52but it does look like a good patch so far.

01:57So here is the patch notes for patch 1.47 as of the 8th of February.

02:03I'll just read out some of the basic ones, binocular views have been added, driver view,

02:07contrails, heat haze, different terrain settings, we've covered them all before.

02:11Here's where it starts getting a bit interesting.

02:14Every day login awards and awards to tournaments have been added.

02:18I don't play tournaments and that doesn't affect me.

02:20While I was on the dev server I didn't actually see any prompt or message about login awards.

02:27Perhaps because I haven't logged into the dev server every day so it doesn't count

02:30as a login award or something, maybe you have to do it one day in the day after.

02:36So I don't know what those awards would be, I guess they'd be silver lion.

02:40Now here's a quite important change, both of these are together.

02:44A new type of bomb delay has been added, auto, works similar to fuses historically

02:49used for attack aircraft.

02:52Bomb will explode after it hits so if you hit your target it will explode but not faster

02:56than that after a certain time.

02:58Basically say you drop your bomb at 500 metres it takes 5 seconds to hit the ground, you've

03:03then got to wait another 5 seconds regardless of any delay you've set yourself before

03:07it will explode.

03:09From what I understand, I didn't test it myself, it says below auto fuse delay is set

03:14for all ground attack aircraft in air battle events for ground forces arcade battles.

03:19So it seems to rule out your normal ground strike missions without tanks.

03:24This is actually quite a good change because at the moment you have people suicide bombing

03:28or kamikaze in their aircraft because it's not their aircraft, they've got a certain

03:34amount of kills, they don't want to guarantee a hit so they just dive into a tank and drop

03:39the bomb at the last second and get the kill.

03:42If they do this then theoretically the bomb's going to be there for 10 seconds unless it

03:47actually hits the tank, hopefully removing the kamikaze option and giving people a chance

03:56to get away.

03:59Also now sound and graphical warnings are displayed for players if bombs that are on

04:03the ground will reach their vehicle with the blast radius.

04:05So say you do kamikaze the target, you drop your bomb, it lands right next to him but

04:11doesn't hit him, he's now got a warning there's a bomb next to him, he can get away to reduce

04:16or you know entirely get rid of all the damage.

04:20Quite a good change but I do think 10 seconds is maybe a little excessive because you'd

04:25have to be doing high altitude bombing or you'd have to you know basically aim ahead

04:30of your target quite a bit or you'd still end up kamikazing I think.

04:36Hopefully you embrace the importance of aircraft with cannons like anti-tank cannons like the

04:41Ju-87Gs but it's overall a good change I just think the delays may be a little excessive

04:47I think maybe five seconds or even eight seconds would have been a little preferable but again

04:52it's a good change.

04:55Now next up is a list of the aircraft and tanks added I'm not going to go into detail

04:59about them because I've already done an episode on them in the dev server so I'll link you

05:03to that.

05:04You've got the M26E1 for the Americans, a premium M42, Tiger Tank E, Maus, Flank Panzer

05:12Gepard, Marder III H, T-126 SP, T-28E, T-54-1949, aircraft the A-20G3, B-57B, B-29, the Bf109G14,

05:27Focke-Wulf 200C1, Arl-21941, Li-5FN which is an updated visual module, not actually

05:34a new aircraft and the J2M4K.

05:38Actually I will talk a little bit about the A-20G3 quickly.

05:42I didn't actually cover it in my dev server video because I didn't realise it was actually

05:47well it's not a new aircraft from what I understand.

05:49I think it's basically replaced the A-20 that was already there I'm not sure what difference

05:54it has between the one we had already.

05:57Something about I've heard on Reddit and other websites it was I think a slightly different

06:00turret and different performance I don't know if that's better or good but yeah I suppose

06:07it's good.

06:08I don't know if they had the wrong variant in before or a variant that didn't exist.

06:12I know in the release tree they had an A-20D or something that was never actually built

06:17so it's possible they did another mistake like that with the one in game but good they're

06:22fixing errors and adding stuff in.

06:25Like I said there's no British there which I would have thought just even if it was an

06:29updated visual module would have been nice.

06:32It's a shame they didn't put anything in for Britain although I think we are getting the

06:36Fleet Air Arm next patch so it may be possible other nations are going to not get any aircraft

06:42while Britain gets loads so you know maybe we are going to just get more later on.

06:49Then we've got the flight model changes I'm not going to go through all of them because

06:53there is so many of them.

06:57Lots of changes all round.

06:59This one's important actually the Halton 229 V3 has got a different engine Jumo 004D they're

07:08more powerful apparently so hopefully I've heard the Halton was a bit underpowered so

07:13hopefully that will fix some problems.

07:16Oh and for the R2Y2 destructive overload was increased up to 10g for full take-off weight.

07:23I did hear somewhere that Japanese jets had a weird tendency to break their wings quite

07:27easily so I assume it's to do with that hopefully it makes it less likely I'm not entirely sure.

07:34Ability to open canopy has been added for aircraft for them or following aircraft there

07:40you go and ability to switch on lights in cockpits added for the following aircraft.

07:45You might understand the controls for these are in full real battle they may change it

07:49for the actual release of the patch but you know just in case you're watching this after

07:54the patch has been released and you can't find it.

07:57Changes in ammunition the F8F gets more ammunition apparently that it's had like a thousand bullets

08:04which is apparently wrong and they were very unwilling to up the ammo load but yeah hopefully

08:11it's got its historical load now.

08:13The J51 can take more bombs or have more variety of useful bomb and rockets 100, 250 and 500

08:20pound bombs.

08:21The F82E got a machine gun pod I don't know anything else about it because I didn't get

08:25a chance to test it.

08:28Typhoon Mk1B and Mk1B late have got additional bomb load with two 1,000 pound bombs.

08:35The Mk5 and Mk2 can take eight rockets.

08:38The Ju-88A4 has got a bomb load fixed a preset with 50 kilogram bombs has been increased

08:43to 28 bombs a thousand kilogram bomb has been added.

08:48Fifty kilogram bombs have been fixed for the Dornier 217E, M and K.

08:55Ammunition for the I-16 has been fixed to 900 shells per gun for the Shakas I don't

08:59know if that's increased or decreased.

09:01The D-5 Ju-87 has got the gun pods we talked about before and there's new shells for the

09:07There's a new AP shell for the IS-3-4 and new shells for the T-54 APCR shells.

09:14I've heard a bit of complaints about that because apparently it'll do okay against the

09:20Maus but it will absolutely destroy any other high tier German tanks so I don't know how

09:25that's going to work out.

09:28Other than that there's been changes to the damage model for the all the Ilyushin attack

09:33aircraft all the HS-129B2 and 3 all the Canberra and all the R-28 have had construction strength

09:41increased.

09:42An error of the tail being ripped off from the insignificant damage has apparently been

09:46fixed there was a period a little while ago where they were being ripped off very easily

09:50and but not killing the aircraft so people were stealing kills good that's been fixed.

09:56Jet engine fire damage fixed possibility to be set on fire tuned according to kerosene

10:01fuel consumption not entirely sure what that means.

10:04F4U damage model fixed added fuel containers presumably you'll be able to set on fire a

10:10lot easier.

10:12Changes to locations we've seen before ground vehicle missions mostly miscellaneous but

10:18possibility to select spawn points and the minimap has been added which is quite good

10:23I've never thought of that before I'm not sure how useful it'll be but you know give

10:27people the choice is what I say.

10:31Possibility of firing been disabled in missions for aerobatic team training seems like that

10:36would have been a very obvious thing to do when you released it but um there we go.

10:43Variety of new sounds and sounds as you like turn your head or hearing enemy tanks wind

10:48sound improvements for aircraft evoke and cockpits and some sound effects have been

10:52optimized so that's all of the patch notes for 1.47 so far.

10:56Now remember these are only preliminary patch notes so they could be changed or you know

11:01other things added but um so far it does seem quite good um it's a little low on content

11:06in extra planes and tanks but it's added a lot of modification fixing a lot of weapon

11:11bugs and stuff like that um you know it does seem like a very good patch and hopefully

11:16it will do very well on release and be well received on release.

11:22One thing I'm especially glad about is um the flight models not what's been changed

11:26but it actually says what's been changed um before it used to just say tuned to data sheet

11:32which was confusing got a lot of people wound up because they didn't know whether they would

11:36get their plane was going to perform better or worse um you know and it caused a lot of

11:39confusion uh now it says how it's been changed hopefully that will prevent confusion and

11:45you know it'll just make things a whole lot easier for us when the patch comes around

11:50um you know so we know whether our planes are going to be doing better or worse and

11:54not have to guesswork and test it all.

11:57Now there is one more addition that was added to the dev blog um that we have to cover improved

12:02foilage uh you'll be able to see changes when MSAA is enabled um and it improves the visual

12:08appearance of all vegetation for top computer configurations so it's unlikely to affect

12:13me um I've should be there will be a little annotation showing you um which is before

12:18and which is after I can't see you can tell the changes if you spend a little while looking

12:23at them but it doesn't always seem so obvious to the naked eye for me personally um it is

12:30a good change it is good they're improving the graphics for high-end users I mean low-end

12:35users probably don't want too many graphic changes because um you know we won't be able

12:40to play but um you know for high-end users this is definitely good news and we'll let

12:45them you know use their computing power for you know uh better graphics and all that so

12:50definitely a good change in my opinion although personally won't affect me.

12:55Anyway I hope you've enjoyed watching the episode um probably only going to get one

12:59more episode of the patch 1.47 roundup series um I have a feeling the patch is going to

13:04come out a lot sooner than most patches um usually do at this point they do seem to be

13:08sort of going full steam ahead with it but hopefully it's giving you a good insight into

13:12what's coming in the patch um you know good points bad points um you know uh all sorts

13:18of things about patch 1.47.

13:21So anyway um hope you liked the episode um leave a like if you did um subscribe if you

13:26like these sorts of videos um leave leave feedback or comments um you know I could always

13:31do with more feedback and I'd like to hear your feelings on patch 1.47 maybe you've seen

13:36something that's you know I haven't covered as in depth that you're really looking forward

13:40to maybe you've seen something that could possibly be quite a negative for patch 1.47

13:45you know I'd like to hear all your thoughts um hope you've enjoyed watching the episode

13:50um hopefully you'll stick around for the next episodes in the series and well thanks for

13:54watching I'll see you next time.
