They said to bug report rounds to get them changed if they had them
That is hilarious.
We were joking about them getting a US or USSR C&P instead of something French and I was told “no no no, will never happen”
:D
Same
A collection of the more interesting statements made by BVVD during the “Heavy Cavalry” dev stream
Aviation
- F-14D will not get Aim-120 because it was only in one test flight and the BR would be too high
- No AAMs for the Yak-130 because it does not have CMs
- Yak-130 is not in the same line as the other Yaks because it is not a fighter
- Chinese jet trainer counterpart in the works but not for this patch (Hongdu L-15)
- IA 58 Pucara in Germany because they already have Argentine vehicles
- ARM will come to all nations
- “ARM will not be as effective in GRB” - suppressing instead of killing, not precise enough
- The missile statcards will tell you detection band of ARM and what it can target
- ARM mechanics and functionality is still WiP, will maybe be fixed in the dev
- RWR screen for target selection. There are complications with how to show it due lack of distance and thus needing to rely on strength of signal which jumps up and down (will be added later)
- Kh-31 has new engine type - booster + ramjet
- You can assign amount of bombs/missiles per target with the new volley fire mechanic
- No Grom-1 for now, because it is too fast at destroying bases
- Spikes get a better LOFT profile
- Changed AOA and autopilot for most FNF
- For runway arrestor cable there is a minimum actuation speed
Ground vehicles
- Abrams armor rework (volumetric hull+neck)
- M829A3 has the anti-ERA tip, will be better against Kontakt-5
- 3-axis STAB was low priority because it only affected one tank and it was hard to implement due to limitations with the old aiming code
- No modern MLRS because they have too much range and are not suitable for small maps
- New mesh physics for camo nets. Wind will now affect the appearance
- New visual for dust and dirt on tanks (dirt on lower and dust on upper parts)
- Ash river rework is less a visual rework and intended to improve gameplay
Naval
- Modern ships might get added to regular naval
- Submarines are WiP but BVVD is optimistic
Misc
- Nuclear Thunder is being made ready
- All nations, top tier, same map, new anti-air, more CAS targets
- AI ships added to Nuclear Thunder
- No comment for korea TT
- No comment for indonesian air subTT
- More info about infantry in summer

Already WIP
I’m laughing too although with cries mixed in.
I mean technically the US did get copy and paste(M60 predator and basically F-14B but premium)
dont be so sure, 829A3 was made to negate Kontakt-5. To deal with Relikt they made 829A4.

your so peak thank you
L27A1 buff report is in, but I dont think there is an existing Anti-ERA report because it wasnt a mechanic yet.
I think Froge is working on a report though

yay the translator wasn’t schizofrenic wait nvm this is still vague
Can someone explain how new APFSDS round coming with new Abrams is going to do anything different than existing round looking at its penetration value?
Wait what?
Well, you see, the Spikes killed sometimes so now they have been fixed to be non-lethal. =)
