Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

But are those really iconic? The M8 at least has the distinction of actually being adopted, even if Congress killed it.

Gneisenau would not even be particularly good thats the funny part.

As Gneisenau was a smaller ship it had less mechanical ramming and therefore its reload rate was vastly reduced from the 3 RPM on Bismarck class. The best estimates are based on coastal batteries with a similar lack of power assisted ramming which come in at a 70 second reload.

So being generous Gneisenau ends up with a 50 second reload at best…

Feels like justice to be honest.

It also doesn’t have to be ground, could be F-15E or F-14D

Hell, could be a ship at that point lmfao.
I think that’s a stretch though

Would explain the quotation marks then

The fact it specically says “End-of-the-line non-MBT” just implies to me its referring to something ground based. Feel like if it was a plane, ship or heli it would say “end-of-the-line vehicle” or something to that affect. Feels to specific to be a plane. Though I suppose maybe its intentionally misleading

BMFD improvements, mentioned by Smin

Man i just hope we will finally get ability to move the TGP inside of cockpit, by just looking at the mfd and moving the TDC.

Of course! F-15E with F-15SG to China at the same time.

Pls no :-(

One of the major upgrades with the Tornado Gr4 was new MFDs. It would be a tad shame if that was the only new feature coming with the Gr4, but would fit fairly well.

Dont forget about the Ukrainian F-16s to Russia.

on friday

just which friday we don’t know

yeah and give the israelis their poland-leased Mig29’s n stuff, M2K 5 (EI) for china etc :clueless:

well if you want to go true historical then most of the sa grippens would just not start up as they are struggling to maintain them

That’s what I thought at first too and part of me still does. However it could be in there to mislead.

What is that referring to?

He originally said that when asked about when the next/first blog was back in the June update dev cycle

That would be very exciting!

Quick question. I know it’s unconfirmed but the potential event F-117A, is that something might sooner or later?
