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

Slow, agile and rather tanky iirc from books on the Falklands Ive read

Definetly a potent platform for putting sustained CAS (and I do actually mean “close” air support) into effect in something like IRB

Sounds like a downgrade from the A-10 tbh, which is already only good because of mavericks at low BR and then SDB on the A-10C

Il-2 but can actually point it’s nose a lot better basically

Also Pucará was reported to be very “hollow” and it is pretty thin

An F-4 can take 285 rockets

And remember

No flares!

One bad look from a stinger and it’s over!

Who needs flares when you have rockets :P

(in war thunder, they are almost more effective)

I don’t see how it will be better than fast jets in infantry mode then

Turny :P

1 minute of undending rocket spam instead of multiple passes.

Swings legs waiting for devstreams

so it just sits there patiently waiting to be shot down by anything with an HMG?

its E3 all over again, this week

yes, but it does a lot in that time (if you can aim rockets)

idk, its just too vulnerable and slow to do much in infantry gamemode

Because COIN aircraft in WT infantry would translate into the 1 minute frenzy because that’s how long it will take for someone to whip out AA weapons and tell it piss off.

Not meant to last a lot

Imagine heli rush but easier to aim and a little more faster.

During the Falklands War, the British captured an IA-58 Pucará in flying condition; it is very likely a British premium aircraft.

if it were a british one it would probably have the same camo as the captured one which it doesnt, and also that makes even less sense than a surprise LATAM tree

Or maybe something better like this

On the grounds that we are already getting 2 aircraft this update and was meant to be a third (premium welkins) Im doubting it actually. So, its anyones guess where it will actually go

Motorbike is motorbike but infantry mode is going to be fun trying to tank hunt on some enduring confrontation map some poor Abrams with a RPG-7. Electric bikes though have the benefit of zero sound and less heat so ya better hunter killer team.

So I must have missed something cause I’m not sure why people are saying we might get two different F-14Ds?
