"Firebirds" Update Teaser


You’re looking at the wrong parameter. The lock vehicle range depends on what I highlighted.

They’re the same for the Kh-38 and the AGM-65D.

You don’t want to misinform people.

What you highlighted is the surface capture range, not the vehicle.

However, in the game you cannot technically capture a surface farther than 20km due to the limitations of the aiming containers

Is anyone actually just excited about this? We dont even have these things in game yet people are decided about how things will be. And arguing about things that are already in probably dozens of other threads…

Has anyone put together a list of everything in the trailer? Feeling good about it!

Nice trailer and reference to recent events! No F-18 sadly, but the SU-34 and Super Hind got me pumped.

are you out of your mind? 5.0 for a turetless KV-1E with flat superstructure 100mm thick?

It’s not going anywhere above 4.3. Those additional 45mm cannons are nothing more than a gimmick, you will still mostly depend on the ZiS 5 75mm gun with 96mm of pen on the best shell. It’s not a thing that could potentially engage Tigers or Jumbos in any way shape or form.

KV-1 ZiS-5 and Swedish KV-1 are both 4.7, but they are not turretless and have much more effective armor layout.

My guess for it’s BR would be 4.0/4.3, although i would prefer it to be 4.0 so it can better fit into USSR lineup

Also i think it’s specifically the triple cannon variant, i don’t think it will be able to switch to 2 cannon layout

But what if it had the feature of switching for the twin Zis-5s:

I Image it to come with this modification option, similar to the TOG-II with the optional Great War Package.

Edit: just saw your edit on the twin cannons, sorry

Even if it could switch to twin ZiS-5s it’s not enough to justify it being above 4.7.

Remember it’s a giant sluggish blob of steel with poor gun arc and quite a weak firepower for it’s BR. Regardless of how many guns does it have, it won’t make them any more useful against things it just can’t engage.

It’s armor strenght will be questionable even at 4.0 with German 75s being able to punch through it like it’s not even there, at 4.7 or above it will be about as armored as a nashorn

From what i see it has a KV-1E hull with additional armor placed on it, so it won’t be as weak as KV-1 (L-11), but the whole superstructure is suposed to be 100mm as far as i know, which judging by how flat it is won’t be very effective. And due to poor gun arc i don’t think you will be able to angle too well with it

Okay, fair enough.

Somewhere in the office :
-We have no countermeasures in the game for the Kh-38 missile carrier at 20-40 kilometers.
-introduce missiles with a range of 120km and pour a generous amount of “That’s different” to everyone else.

  1. “NATO_Mains” There is no Nato tree. There arent any NATO Mains.
  2. No Nation has anything comparable to the Pantsir. As of now, USSR/Russia has the final word on who is allowed to fly from 10.0/3 (whereever the Strela is) onwards with both the Strela and Pantsir. The US get the best CAS. Both are severely handheld in these respective regards and both can singlehandedly decide the outcome of a match, as the USSR including teams can field their own planes without fear of enemy CAP.
  3. On the Topic of enough: Which tech Tree gets handheld as fuck in Naval? Which tech Tree gets a new T-80 almost every 2 patches? Which Nation can build up an excellent Lineup for 10.3/7 exclusively out of Premium/Event/Squadron vehicles that also many times are among the META units at their BRs and classes? Yeah. The blaming game is a dangerous blade that everyone can wield.

That isn’t a quality exclusive to Russia. Germany can make an awesome 4.3 premium lineup, and the US could probably do the same at 6.7/7.0.

Unless it did not. It`s either model for aircraft missions or irfield protection which still will work only at 10- km

compare to Russian 1500 kg warheads

More like “each side is good at some specific thing”

One other possible is that it will only add in airport for defending.

eh… with Brimstone nerfed to the graund … nope

Fucking F-117 what the hell
Also F-15Es vs F-4s 💀
I’m torn between the outrageous bias of the F-15E and it being my favourite aircraft of all time

Brimstones without proper guidance, and SuperHind? 8 INGWE ATGM with 5km range and 20-mm gun instead of standart 23/30mm. Technically it could be armed with AT-6 Spiral ATGM but never was

Don’t worry, most likely it would not have a properly functioning stealth capability

Su-34 dunking on the Patriot. Absolute GOAT
