Dev Server Feedback Update - Heavy Cavalry

[Bergebis]

@Smin1080p_WT

Based on your feedback, we’ll be changing the Belgian premium F-16AM to a Dutch example.

Are there plans for France to get actual French designs?

Not only have there not been any new French tanks or planes since December 2025, France’s top tank pack is a Germany Leopard 2a4 and the Top air pack is now an American F-16AM, neither are actually domestic French designs.

Additionally, none of the BeNeLux additions have actually been functionally unique or new (Fokker’s aside), and while BRs like 9.3 could use additional TT vehicles, France has plenty of domestic options that fill a similar role and can sit at that Br.

Nuclear Escalation

Also how about reducing the accuracy of AA, making them susceptible to chaff and notching, and fixing the Buks that will fire on you the second you take off?

[Deadsnake_war2]

Is there news on the Buk m3 being able to launch right away once you take off from the AF, which is also one the main problem that bluefor faces

[AspectOfTheRAGE]

@Smin1080p_WT

In the future, we plan a more through revision of the Damage Model (including armor), which will eliminate current inaccuracies and improve clarity, as well as an addition of spall liner and correcting the placement of internal modules.

Holy W announcement

Would you like having another list with pending/unanswered reports for it ;)

Feel like any additional material would come in handy if a extensive ‘rework’ of the damage model is intended.

please give MiG-29K 64 countermeasures, R-77-1 and its missing Thales HMD

@Smin1080p_WT

The F-14D also had its AIM-54A/C replaced with the AIM-54C+. The previous variant was removed from the options, the new version will be functionally identical in performance to the existing C model, just with different cooling methods.

Please consider giving the C+ angle-gating as the C+ has improved ECCM. Although, ECCM is not technically integrated/modeled in the game to my knowledge, the AIM54 series seeker in game lacks angle-gating making them incredibly more susceptible to notching than the other modeled ARM seekers. Thank you.

Nuclear Escalation

The solution is to get rid of long range SPAAs away from the frilont line all together. I dont get why the fldecs would give us a dynamic front line mission like this, then make it detrimental to interact with the front line. SPAAs shouldnt be knocking out every guided munition thrown at it.

Moce this game mode away from top tier too. This is a game mode that should have a maximum BR of 13.0, not a minimum of 13.0.

R-77-1 report closed
“not a bug”

[Balta779517-live]

denied for balancing sadly but i hope the devs reconsider

[SilentTracker]

@Smin1080p_WT

The F-14D also had its AIM-54A/C replaced with the AIM-54C+.

YES!!!

@Smin1080p_WT

the new version will be functionally identical in performance to the existing C model

Awww man. I truly believe that the C+ Phoenix should be modeled properly: better and more capable than the other current Phoenix missiles. The F-14D is already going to face the premium Su-30 spam (and again, I purchased the premium RU tree Su-30MK2 AMV.) It will not break the matchmaker by giving the F-14D its appropriately improved Phoenix C+ missiles.

Furthermore, I did preorder the F-14D. So, I am not just “complaining” to make noise. I put my money where my mouth is and I very much want to see the F-14D (and the entire F-14 family) get their appropriate and realistically modeled armaments.

@Smin1080p_WT

We want to thank you all for your continued constructive feedback.

Thank you for the update. I look forward to further changes and improvements for our beloved Tomcats 👍

EDIT:

I do not think anyone is/is going to question my preorder, but just to put forward a bit of proof/transparency, I have set my title to “Maverick” so anyone can see for themselves in game if they wish:
(Everyone is also free to check my Service Record showing that I own and play the Su-30MK2 AMV too.)

[Deadsnake_war2]

Regarding the other SPAA’s like BUKS M3, they launch missiles once when on the near AF and no other SAM are doing anything intercept them, also Is there any chance being able to change the Spyder SAMS to NASAMS SAMS ?

My Second thing I would also like to add, is it possible for ships to respawn and or add 2 more carriers to the group, than being only one ?

[oom1992]

@Smin1080p_WT

we’ll be changing the Belgian premium F-16AM to a Dutch example.

@Smin1080p_WT

so the premium will now reflect a variant from the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF).

I hope gaijin retain belgian F-16AM MLU (M2 Tape standard), but lose JDAM/LDAM and GBU-39 SDB

But not agree change to RNLAF instead

[Morvran]

ALARM on the GR1? And AGM-88 on the ASSTA1?

PUMA

While working with the suggestions and reports on the PUMA IFV and studying additional sources and materials, we came to a conclusion that the current Damage Model and armor can be revised. And some changes will already be made in the Heavy Cavalry update. In the future, we plan a more through revision of the Damage Model (including armor), which will eliminate current inaccuracies and improve clarity, as well as an addition of spall liner and correcting the placement of internal modules.

So in other works we get a Puma Rework, just wondering, you still have that promised Leopard DM Rework from 3 years ago on your list, right?

[H_ngma]

Sorry mate youre gonna have to wait until they release a new premium Leopard to get that.

[Miguelillo9000]

Now we only need the promised ariete rework XD

[joshje100]

@Smin1080p_WT

The F-16AM premium Rank VIII for France

Also why have yet another F-16 for France when there are several French aircraft that could be added instead?

Is the F-16 just the go to premium now for when a nation needs a new rank 8 premium?

Whilst BeNeLux is a subtree for France why not have something like a Mirage 2k premium like the C-S3 that was seen in the files some time ago?

[AquaUselessGod]

Surely they’ll also address the concerns of Israeli top tier air too. :clueless:

Meanwhile Merkava Mk.4 and Namer still dead in the ditch :kekw:

Not a Rank VIII premium worthy aircraft, there’s basically nothing the French have that can be a Rank VIII premium other than another Rafale, which would just end up being “too high of a BR” or “too good for a flight performance” to be at a lower BR. The jump from Mirage 2000 to Rafale is about equivalent of a jump from F-4 to F-15.

[Psusennes]

To get a Netherlnds AF F-16AM is very cool. Good job!
To update the F-14D is excellent.
The AIM54C+ without being a Plus is a bit odd.

Anyway, will be a extremly expensive month
