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

Thanks. Let me edit my comment. It should still be the largest single aircraft suggestion thread, and in that list surpassed by Canadian Leopard with comments after it was shown on the dev server.

Another interesting point is that both SEP v3 and F-14D are dropping in this update and caused more questions than applauses.

Finally, this thread is waiting to be locked:

Wierd, could not find it anymore… just Lütjens… :(

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

how many weeks until sloppy cavarly releases?

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?
