when the ♥♥♥♥ u leting this come out

wait i'm not sure i'm following. is the new reticle an aim assist or a total aim bot ?
not gonna lie the option that sounds best to me is a moderate aim assist, there wouldn't be much interest to fights if it just autolocks on sth that's like 45° off.

WHEN? Sick of waiting.

it's already been said that it tries to predict where the target will be, but it's just an estimation and thus won't always be correct

oh ? well ty for your answer :)
although that doesn't really answer my question tbh ^^'
shots missing due to course correction is to be expected indeed, but i'm just wondering to what degree the aim assist is gonna act.
in my opinion it'd be funnier if you still have to get somewhat lined up with your target rather than just taking down a plane that's on the top right corner of your screen by just pressing your fire button.

although to me the best would be to get an actual reticle that you manually aim, with guns that can rotate to follow your crosshair. ( I do know you can put your guns on hinges / rotating thingy, but they don't automatically adjust to follow your aim )
but anyways, that's not how it's gonna be.

so i'm just curious about the "intensity" of the auto aim / aim assist, because i definitely think that combat where you don't have to make any efforts doesn't make for fun fights.

Question: will this be available even if the DLC is not available, or do we trully need that DLC?

Another question, will a version of the normal guns that don't track still exist in the game when this update is released.

Or will there be a block that allows you to target vehicles thus allowing us to choose if our guns target or stay fixed?

this will destroy competitive PvP in multiplayer, if every kid will have aimbot, skill gap will be deleted. so far this looks as a game breaking feature.

I personally am not a big fan of the auto aim. I understand that this needs to be here because not everyone can dogfight and if it were not here then the DLC would be infuriating to most people. But instead of auto aim I would like the aiming system to just follow my camera movement so aiming is better but im still 100% in control. Just my personal opinion tho.

Flashbulb Games has *estimated* the second quarter of this year. So hopefully within the next few months.

I also think mouse-directed reticles that the weapons follow through camera movement sound a lot better than an aim-assist. In my opinion, I would really prefer options to use the aim assist or mouse-directed reticles such as the ones you guys described above. Nonetheless, I am really looking forward to the new features when it all comes out, and hopefully it will end up being fun in its own way. If not, there's always the ability to discuss it here on Steam and consider features like these again.

Also, the part from this that really gets me excited is the fact that they said "...use bombs, or lock on to them with missiles" (paraphrase). Will we really be able to incorporate the aiming system into missiles? I can't WAIT to see if we can!...

If I understand your question correctly, certain features, such as the aim assist, will most likely be made available to everyone upon the release of the update. However, my guess is that the (paid-for) DLC will include features like the new map & corresponding campaign and any new parts and cosmetics that go along with it.

can you f***** release it already

My question about the auto aim, do all guns have them or is it certain ones?

Two other thoughts/question answers (to the best of my ability):

1) I agree that an aim assist close to an aim bot makes for sometimes effortless and unfair fights. Hopefully, the aim assist will not be that powerful and will still make for fun and interesting battles.

2) We probably won't be able to see the specifics of the aim assist's intensity (or what specific weapons will have it) until the update comes out and we get to try it out for ourselves (my guess as to what weapons will have the aim assist ability is probably the weapons mounted on stands--like small cannons and possibly large cannons). However, Flashbulb Games did make a video going through the details of the Airborne Update. I haven't watched it, but I know it includes some gameplay reveals and therefore most likely shows the aim assist in action. Feel free to check it out to see how intense the aim assist is in the video (link below):
