Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

i dont think so

No suggestion on it. There was a suggestion for it on the old forums, it even got passed for consideration. I’ve been thinking about making a suggestion for it but I really wanted to get more precise info and pictures for the suggestion.

I can already see Gaijin turning it into paper

same here


Theres a few closeups of the Challenger 3’s new (and thicker) base armour with some closeups of the EPSOM modular armour, for anyone whos interested

I’ve read that people think it’s at Detroit Arsenal, which is reasonable for me to travel to, but I’m not sure.

which is funny as it should be treated like russian armour but we will see, also this version should have the new armour material instead of the old Dorchester which should also boost armour but considering gaijin still thinks the Leo 2A7V uses armour materials from the 80s we will see

man i lost count of how many times i landed jets which damages like those in WT

but in WT on the F-14 you would want to fly as fast as possible so your wings stay in, so you wont have the induced roll

Use manual wing sweep controls

you can see how much the front plate has been extended out, the drivers hatch is still going to be an easy pen but at least it shouldnt be a point and click adventure on the hull anymore

if they dont screw up the armour that is

i know

and i have them set up for sim but in RB due to me using MnK instead of my controler i dont have them bound

and frankly iam kinda too lazy to do that since iam not really playing RB anyways anymore

also the point was kinda that the F-14 is flying fine with its wings out here

Keeping speed helps but I use the manual swept wings witch also help a lot for a different situations

Yeah, I’m hoping that the fact the armour is visually thicker means gaijin have no excuse but to actually model it as being better, but we will see

It’s undeniably thicker (that’s excluding EPSOM)

waiting for them to cut out the composite armour behind the extension and actually make it weaker

Looks a lot nicer than the CR2LEP.

Im looking forward to getting it

CR3(P4) has less base armour than a Challenger 2 you say?

EPSOM adds 10mm of KE protection?
