Hello again ROTR fans!
This week, we've got something a bit more elaborate to show you. First, I'd like to mention that we've completely revamped the GLA airforce which also includes some new additions to simplify the whole thing, to make it easier to use, and most important of all, more fun. For one, the current Interceptor and Gazelle now have a fixed loadout that can no longer be changed, making their intended function more clearly defined. Additionally, each level of the unlock now grants you access to an extra airstrip, allowing you to construct a maximum of three at the third stage of the unlock. To make up for the fact the changes in armament, the GLA will also receive two new aircraft, the first of which is the Mi-6 Hook helicopter: As of late, Mi-6 cargo helicopters have been sighted supporting GLA forces in several conflict zones across Africa. Codenamed the 'Hook' by NATO during the Cold War, this rugged piece of Soviet-Russian engineering was the world's largest and fastest helicopter for quite some time following its introduction back in the 1950s and despite its age, it is still a versatile heavy transport. The GLA use the Mi-6 to quickly airlift troops and materiel to the battlefield. Military intelligence agencies still speculate as to how the GLA got a hold of the the aging helicopters, with at least some of them having been traced back to corrupt elements within the armed forces of Kazakhstan, the Ukraine and a number of African countries. Reports have indicated that the GLA have modified a number of their Mi-6 Hook airframes to serve as transport gunships similar in function to the famous Mi-24 Hind. A variety of anti-tank missiles and rockets of former Soviet and Chinese origin have been mounted on pylons under the helicopter's wings and auto cannons are mounted on each side of the fuselage near the fore. The jury-rigged conversion has a significant negative effect on the helicopter's manoeuvrability and acceleration, but its firepower is very considerable and it retains a degree of transport capability. Extreme caution is advised when encountering any of these modified helicopters. And again, some screenshots showing our new content in-game: The first screenshot shows a small GLA expansion where a Scorpion is being dropped off by the new Mi-6 cargo helicopter. Note that this particular version of the Hook is used purely as an uncontrollabe delivery aircraft for drops. The second screenshot shows the new Fanatics and RPG Insurgents which will be spawned from a GLA Ambush from now on instead of generic Rebels and Tunnel Defenders. The change is purely visual. As always, we would like to remind you that there will be another stream on this Sunday: Countdown until the stream starts Also, in case you missed last week's stream, you can check it out here. -------------------- |

I know you didn't say that. Am was just referring to the tone that some people might've got from your comment.
The " I will not install next update because you changed this and that" in an update post could be interpreted as a negative "screw you" by some people ( especially since that's not the case, and that there was a misunderstanding.) With that said, no harm done here, just some misunderstanding and misreading. Oh we played together???

I will wish you good luck in trying to play online once 1.87 is out, because all SWRnet drops support for 1.86, since it's an outdated obsolete version. Have fun playing alone then

Hooks come in 8 different visual variants, i.e. different configurations for their rocket pods (there are 6 types) and where the autocannons are placed (on the backwing or an added Frontwing).

It's been 3 weeks since last update. It is completely understandable that it is difficult to keep waiting for more info, but a couple of years ago we used to wait for a month or even more. 3 weeks is not so much. How people say, patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. |

This is an example how few words from usual member can be starting reason for sarcasm and shitposting. I will answer for jw86. It's a fan made project non commertional. So 3 weeks or 3 month or maybe years it's do not matter how long the new update or patch will be ready. It's only depend on mood and free time of main people in dev. team who make main work. Of course you can donate some money and you will get access to beta updates
