"Updated missiles launched from aircraft so they are released at near 0 velocity and accelerate to full speed."

Does this mean the missles will now be evadeble with quick manuvers?

"Increased arming delay on aircraft launched missiles to prevent self detonation after acceleration update."

What?

ALSO

"Updated air to ground bomb physics to be standardized."

So levelbombing will be the same on every jet?

Before when you fired a missile from a helo or jet it instantly was traveling 80 m/s (130 miles/hour) faster then your aircraft. Now it is basically just released at the same speed as the aircraft and then accelerates to its maximum speed.

It looks a lot more like this (0:03) now...

I guess you'll just have to wait and see this one for yourself :)

Because the missiles are no longer going really fast instantly, they spend more time near the aircraft after firing then they used to. Because of this the arming delay needed to be increased so the missile wasn't triggered by your own vehicle...

Yes bombing lases will be identical between all jets now. Regardless of the type of jet you NEED to drop the bomb within 1000m of the target or the bomb will not guide.

so who was the poor fool who got his plane blew up testing this before the arm delay was implemented :P
