00:00Hello everybody, Toronto here, and welcome to episode 3 of the patch 1.49 roundup series.

00:05Now today we're going to look at the next two devblog articles, but we're also going

00:09to have a quick look at the preliminary patch notes.

00:12Now I'm going to go through the devblog articles first, and then we'll do the patch notes.

00:17Now the first articles are about the Seafire FR-47 and the Seafury FB-11.

00:24Says here, perhaps the most interesting aircraft we are adding to the British tree in the weapons

00:29of victory update, the FR-47 with a unique contra-rotating propeller which neutralises

00:35the flow swirl effect, which is present in other single engine aircraft where stability

00:40and torque effect is not so critical, and they're showing the FB-11 which is one of

00:45the fastest production piston aircraft in existence.

00:49Now it's going to be in tier 1, and it has four 20mm Mk5 Hispano cannons, 120 rounds

00:57per barrel in the internal cannons, and 110 in the external cannons.

01:02You can mount 500lb bombs under each wing, so I'm assuming two 500lb bombs, and possible

01:08to attach Mk8 or Mk9 rockets in twos or fours for each wing.

01:12You can see here some of the naval aspects like the hook, and there you can see the cannons.

01:18Says here, final most highly rated model for the Seafire, and the main feature is the two

01:22coaxial propellers that rotate in different directions, and this will be the only aircraft

01:26with that propeller design at the moment.

01:28You can see it here in this picture, so one's rotating right and one's rotating left presumably.

01:34Now we move on to the Seafire, Seafury FB-11, again armed with four 20mm Mk5 Hispano cannons,

01:43and 145 rounds per barrel, and it will be in tier 4, it will close the 4th rank, so

01:50I assume that means it's in tier 4.

01:53Piston payload is up to 2,000lb, or 900kg.

01:57You can mount bombs of 1,000lb on each underwing pylon, either two 250lb and two 500lb, or

02:04two 1,000lb bombs.

02:06In FB mode, possible to load 12 3-inch guided rockets, with 60lb warheads.

02:12You can see there, taking off from an aircraft carrier, launching rockets.

02:16Last piston-engined fighter used in the Royal Naval Fleet Air Arm, one of the fastest production

02:22piston aircraft ever built.

02:24It could only be this aircraft that closes the 4th rank of carrier-based aircraft, and

02:30will be the last step before proceeding to carrier-based fire jets.

02:35Here they just talk about how some of the design work and modelling about the cooling

02:39flaps and that they didn't have much information on it.

02:42Apparently it sort of works a bit differently to other aircraft from what I can read here.

02:48The link to this article will be in the description with the others, if you want to read through

02:51it in more detail of course, but going back, we're going to move on to the planned aircraft

02:56structural improvements, so we'll click here.

03:00Continue to work on improvements to the aircraft damage model.

03:03Transition for the calculation of structural strength of the aircraft from the simplified

03:06system to a more detailed one.

03:09As a result of the new system, you will see significant changes in the behaviour of aircraft

03:13in collisions, as well as during emergency landing.

03:16It will be more difficult to harm a heavy bomber by ramming it while flying a light

03:20aircraft, and the correct execution of the bailey landing will damage the aircraft just

03:25slightly with the possibility to fully repair it and return to battle again.

03:29With the introduction of the new system in structural strength of aircraft, they're also

03:33going to improve the module display.

03:35You'll be able to see the status of each module in each part of the aircraft while in battle.

03:39Therefore you'll be able to determine the status of the vehicle much more accurately

03:42than ever before.

03:44Now this seems to be the X-ray model.

03:46It seems to be a little bit different, because it seems to be showing the whole wing.

03:51They did have this in one of the dev servers for a previous patch, and it just showed the

03:55modules like engines, gunners, fuel tanks.

03:58They didn't have the whole wing, so they seem to have changed it a little bit there at least.

04:03Again I'll link you to this article so you can watch the videos and read in more detail.

04:09Now leaving the dev blog articles, we're on the preliminary patch notes for patch 1.49.

04:14Again they're not final.

04:16Now I'll quickly give a quick read through them.

04:20The Americans are getting the Sky Raider and two P-51s, the P-51A and the D-10.

04:25Now the D-10, if I'm correct, is a premium.

04:27I'm not sure how you unlock it.

04:29I think a lot of these premiums you get in a bundle, but I don't know what the bundle

04:32is, so I can't really give too much information on that.

04:35The Russians are going to be getting the Yak-9M, lots of R-2s, the 1943, 1942, and

04:41the 1943 AIM-38.

04:44Now I believe some of these are replacing existing models, so they're not necessarily

04:48all new aircraft.

04:49The Yak-9T and 9K are getting new models.

04:52The R-28 is getting a cockpit, and we're getting the Dolgashin's NA-7, which is again a premium.

05:00Germany's getting the Arado 234 C-3, which has four engines and 20mm cannons, the Bf-109B,

05:07which is an early Bf-109, and the HS-129 has got a cockpit.

05:12Now Britain seems to have got the most aircraft.

05:14We've got the Firefly Mk1 and Mk5, the Seafire Mk17, I believe it is, the FR-47, the Sea

05:23Fury FB-11, the Attacker FB-1, the Canberra's getting a cockpit, the Sea Gladiator Mk1,

05:29the Hurricane Mk1B and Mk1C, and two premiums, the Plagis' Spitfire LF Mk9 and Pentagrast's

05:38Spitfire Mk14E.

05:41Japan's getting some new vehicles as well, or aircraft, the J-2M2 and the Ki-21 Light

05:46Bomber, or Medium Bomber.

05:49Now in ground forces, it's America and Russia who are getting the most of the new vehicles.

05:54America's getting its tank destroyer line, the M2A2, which is actually a vehicle armed

05:59with machine guns, but it's the start of the tank destroyer line, 75mm M3GMC, the half

06:05track we looked at before, M18GMC, or the Hellcat, T95, which I believe is the new tank

06:13destroyer at tier 5, and the T28, which I believe is the premium, or it may be the other

06:17way around, but they're basically the same vehicle, it's just one has two tracks and

06:21one has four.

06:22Also the M10GMC, otherwise known as the Wolverine, M18 Black Cat, which is a premium, and the

06:28M5A1 5th Armoured Division, I think that's a Canadian division, which is again a premium

06:35I believe.

06:36Germany's getting the Stur 42G, which is a Stug G with a 105mm cannon, or howitzer.

06:44Russia's getting the 4M GAZ AAA, basically a truck with four Maxim machine guns, which

06:49fires ridiculously fast.

06:51The SU-57, again I think that's a premium, it's a half track with a 57mm gun.

06:58The SU-122-54, which is a T-54 with a 122mm gun, T-34-85E and the T-34E STZ.

07:09The 85E I believe is a premium, and the STZ is in the normal tech tree.

07:14The IS-2 Avenger and the SU-76M are also premiums.

07:19So that's all the aircraft and tanks.

07:21We've got three new maps, Berlin, Normandy and Hürtgen.

07:26Berlin's going to be available for Domination, Battle and Capture, Normandy for Domination,

07:30Battle, Breakthrough and Capture, and Hürtgen Forest for Domination, Battle and Capture.

07:37Also been some changes to ground forces maps, Poland, a rocky ledge on the north-eastern

07:42area of the lake has been added, minor balance changes.

07:46Many changes have been taking place on this location, for better gameplay balance new

07:51hills and covers have been added, riverbed has been reworked.

07:55Daily awards interface has been changed, leaving the maps for a sec, format of information

08:00regarding damage to enemy vehicles has been changed, I did see that a little bit in the

08:07test server, I don't know what to make of it so far.

08:10Penetration characteristics of armour piercing and APCR shells have been changed.

08:15Penetration of all shells is now calculated for a single method, almost all the shells

08:18can now penetrate thicker non-sloped armour than before, but are considerably less effective

08:24against sloped armour.

08:25Armour piercing projectiles of all types now show the worst performance regarding the penetration

08:30of sloped armour.

08:31Amount taken that it takes for a fuel tank fire to cause an explosion has been changed,

08:36a set amount of time before ammunition and fuel tanks may detonate from a fire in other

08:43modules.

08:44After this time has elapsed, the chance of a fuel tank explosion is higher than it previously

08:51was in 1.47.

08:52High explosive shells that were not tracer shells in reality no longer show a tracer

09:07effect in game, 122mm high explosive shells of the D-25T use a reduced propellant charge

09:16instead of a full charge, resulting in a muzzle velocity of 570 metres a second and a steeper

09:21trajectory.

09:22Muzzle velocity of the 90mm AP shells for the M36 and M38A1 cannons have been changed

09:41to 912 metres a second.

09:44Muzzle velocity of German 75mm cannons with a barrel length of .43, .48 and .46 calibres

09:49have been changed.

09:52Maximum muzzle velocity is now featured by the PAK-40, self-propelled gun Marder III.

09:57Visual effects of hits into the ground and on vehicles by projectiles with normal calibre

10:01rounds have been reduced.

10:03Other changes and fixes to ground vehicles, the thickness of the upper frontal arm of

10:07the M4A3E2 with 75mm and 76mm cannons has gone from 25.4cm to 63.5 or 25 inches.

10:20That's a bloody big increase, I don't know why they've done that, I don't know if that

10:23was how it was historically, but that's a massive increase, I don't know how that's

10:28going to affect things in game.

10:31Ammunition load of the Panzer III N, which is a premium, it's a Panzer III of the 75mm

10:37short barrel 75mm gun, has been changed from 56 to 64 shells.

10:44Rotation speed of the Tiger I H1's turret has been increased from 7.5 degrees a second

10:50to 12 degrees, and from the Tiger I E from 7.5 to 14.

10:57Characteristics of the T-35 have been updated, thickness of armour plates, tanks entire mass

11:03and their main turret rotation speed have been fixed, according to a bug report from

11:07Nikon D3X.

11:08I don't know if that means it's better or worse, it doesn't actually say what they've

11:13changed, or how they've changed it.

11:16Ammunition load has been changed for self-propelled guns, IS-122, ISU-122S and all modifications

11:22of the T-54.

11:23Again, I don't know if that means an increase, decrease, or if they've just moved where the

11:27ammunition is stored or something.

11:30Time to change magazine on the M16 self-propelled anti-aircraft has been increased to 14 seconds.

11:37Well we know that's an increase, so presumably that makes it a bit worse.

11:40A bug on multi-turret vehicles which allowed the continuous rotation of the turrets after

11:45drive mechanisms has been destroyed, it's been fixed.

11:48And the ammunition load out of the M41A1 has been changed from 57 to 65 shots.

11:56And we've got a lot of decourse of ground forces, I'm not going to read through all

12:01of them because that would take forever.

12:04So a few changes to flight modes, I'm not going to go through all of them because there's

12:08so many there, it would be here forever if I go through all of them, but I'll link you

12:13to the patch notes so you can read through them.

12:16M1919A4 tank machine gun sound has been updated, same for the DT machine guns, and opening

12:22and closing of the cockpit while flying will result in a more noticeable sound difference.

12:26So that's it for today's episode, sorry it's a bit short but there isn't really much else

12:30to add.

12:31So far the patch does seem to be shaping up quite nicely, I'd definitely be interested

12:36to see how the damage model and aircraft structural improvements go, I'm definitely

12:41looking forward to the American tank destroyers and the fleet air arm, I've been waiting for

12:45them for a long time, especially with the fleet air arm.

12:48But anyway, I hope you enjoyed the episode, leave a like if you did like the episode,

12:53subscribe if you like these sorts of videos, leave feedback, I could always do it with

12:56more feedback.

12:57So thanks for watching, I'll see you next time.
