Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

which part of the F-14D is worse than the F-14B to warrant calling it a sidegrade instead of straight upgrade?

when will re-open the dov sorvor ?

Only gaijin knows why better engines (AFAIK) and better radar (all aspect PD instead of just HDN) make this plane a “sidegrade”. It would have been perfect if it had gotten the AIM-7P (in combination with the all-aspect radar) too lol

That’s not what sidegrade means ’ a sidegrade involves switching to a different option of roughly equal value or capability’ where a worse option would be considered a downgrade.

in 3 months

lol just if there was a dev update/client update in the last few hour or today it would be a yes. so just seeing if i missed it.

Bvvd’s baited you

either way calling it a sidegrade isnt the truth. the F-14D is better than the F-14B and there not “roughly equal”

they are, the f14d has an iris-t, a slightly better radar and a slightly better fox 3, its a sidegrade

You mean an IRST (Infrared Search and Track), right?

“The F-14D is better so its a sidegrade” son what are we talking about

yea my bad

Ingame? It’s a weird mix. It’s technically a SM3 but the overall model is wrong in places and the extra 2 R-77s are in the wrong place. Should be on the wings instead of between the nacelles.

How about we stop favoritising Sukhoi jets and give the MiG-29KR its R-77-1 and move it to 14.0? Sukhoi gets everything, why not stop treating MiG jets like the neglected child 😒

AIM-54C+ in game is identical to AIM-54C, so not a better fox 3.
