Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Hey @Smin1080p_WT , once again, amazing job on the updated X-ray models, it’s now actually getting to the point where you look for the ones that don’t have it yet haha.

@Smin1080p_WT lets care it

funny thing is the L39s don’t have ccip at all irl but with its performance on the dev server, i dont really mind it at 6.7. that jet is straight up buns

the black night i enjoy but the ready rack is just ugh

Question, as the Pescador missile was found in files linked to Germany/Argentina, where the only plane in the game which it would make sense to be on is the Pucara, does gaijin plan to add it on the pucara?

As it is a smaller warhead bullpup afaik, I am just curious on where it plans to be placed (as I know that the MB 326 tried using them too but Argentina/Germany does not currently have 1 in game). Seems a tad OTT for the current BR.

Its great when you get a long ranged map where you can make use of the optics and APS. Otherwise… just feels like the base CR2

as annoyed as i am about the basket the breech buff will be nice if it stays but it still seems like there not doing enough to justify a turret basket, just give it the ready rack spall liners and maybe the l27a1 buff and ill be happy

Yeah. That is largely what im waiting for. And a meaningful buff for the Tornado GR1

You know he ignored my question about it twice right?

I still don’t get why the Hunter is in the Israeli tt. I don’t buy the “diversity” reason at all

When I say Commonwealth tree I mean Realm not Nations. Which gives Singapore free reign to be used elsewhere.

there terrible excuse for not giving it alarms is laughable

Hopefully one day.

With the Abrams and Australia becoming a sub-tree. Means there is hope for Canada, so let’s hope we see something next year.

Hey quick question, if the addition of ARMs would involve raising the BR of a vehicle then can i ask why Su25T/39 and Su24M have all access to ARMs while remaining at their 11.3 BR?

Speaking from a german tornado IDS perspective it was present on IDS tornado prior to SLE upgrade which can be seen on RIAT 2019 photos of an IDS GAF tornados so the capability is there. But the entire BR discussion around this just seems like favouritism from the developers towards russian planes.
Yes the Kh58s do only follow certain bands compared to more universal HARMs however the Su25T/39 doesnt lose much of its CAS capability at all from equipping the missiles and still keeps its 20(!) A2G + 4 A2A including IRCCM missiles ordinance at the very same BR of 11.3.
Su24 does sacrifice a large part of its kit for Kh58s as it occupies 3 slots (2+ARM pod) so it remaining at 11.3 is somewhat understandable.

German Tornado IDS however would have similar sacrifice present as the Litening that is necessary for LJDAMs to engage vehicles other than SPAAs would occupy one of the HARM slots and the entire loadout would be a balancing matter between bringing LJDAMs vs HARMs.

So can we get a bit more precise reasoning from the devs why one plane with cracked out loadout is allowed to be at 11.3 with ARMs while the other would “need to go up in BR” as you have said?

bad news, kh31 is limited to 3950km/h when its suppose to do 4500+.

ramjet not so fast

because the change wont be that big in air and ground, they already have KH-29 that is deadly

Thats not a good enough reason. Kh29T and TDs/TEs (i forgot what is on Su39) can target both SPAAs and tanks as a standoff missile.
They are already way more competent than LJDAMs that have a release limit and can function only as GNSS JDAM for standoff purposes.
Adding HARMs to the mix which realistically will be just two on wings unless doing full SEAD sorties (in which case you cant kill any tanks) wouldnt make the plane broken or in need of BR increase. Tornado is already one of the worse FM planes in the game for its BR and its loadout leaves much to be desired.
Atleast with HARMs the ASSTA1 could be a bit more versatile CAS option for 11.3.

Plus germany doesnt even have a ground vehicle between 11.0 and 11.7, and MBTs go from 10.7 to 12.3 (12.0 with 2A4M).
Adding HARMs to ASSTA1 wouldnt even change that much other than offer a better way to deal with Tunguska, Tor and Pantsir than JDAM lobbing.

They fixed their mistake.

speaking only about the Su-24, Su-25T and Su-39 the anti radiation missiles wont change their performance drastically, the best aa in 11.3 is the TOR-M1 that is only in Russia (that cannot face against) and the Chinese one, after that the only thing is the ADATS that is 11,7 that can easily just close the radar and quide the missiles without radar lock and only with tracking ,

Flarakrad is also 11.7 btw
