 Increases maneuverability and the damage inflicted by forward-firing weapons by 10%

 Surely not a 10% manoeuvrability boost in all axes?

It's maneuverability and damage inflicted by forward-firing weapons.

Dayum.

that is significant        noticeable even to folks who don't notice much

I love that there is new development happening in the game. I must admit that I was worried that the game may be end-of-lifed...

Granted, these are small developments but it a very refreshing to see new content.

 

I also love that this targets tier 6 planes, which is good for newer players (let's increase that player base) and gives more experienced players a reason to play these planes that have been sitting in the garage gathering cobwebs.

 

Thanks WG and thanks Blindfold for sticking with us through it all!

Just going to come out and say it....after waiting all this time for an update, this is all there is?  I know something is better than nothing, but come on.  I guess I have my expectations set too high.

Yeah, I am still waiting for that Fall of 2019 where they add to the USA bomber line.

Will these new pilots be available for a limited time (i.e., a timed event or op order like the F5F), or will they be permanently available?  Do we need to already have the two aircraft these pilots are for?  (If so, I'm going to have to hustle to get both, blowing through the Tier V A6M2 and Tier V LaGG-3).

It looks like there will be missions in order to get the pilots.  Missions are typically limited time.  In past events for piilots, if you do not have the plane or already have the plane with another pilot in it, the special pilot will cool their heels in your barracks until you assign them to a plane.  I'm going on how this worked in the past, but I am very confident this is how it will work.

When will you fix a broken quest with a profession assignment?

There will be an event (a set of missions) and bundles in the Premium Shop, that will be available for a limited time. You don't need to have the aircraft, in that case pilots will be sent to barracks after you receive them.

Thanks blindfold!

[WhoaBlackBetty]

I see the usual bundles, no missions or anything in the premium shop.

Per blindfold in another thread (http://forum.worldof...964#entry824964) the bundles will be available on 2/15.

AAahhhhh.  Thanks.
