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

if euro aircraft got correct missiles they would dominate top tier yes, but thats only because america made stealth fighters, euro aircraft are 4.5 gen afterall

like it wouldnt be extremly op… it would just be better then american top tier and the mythical su57s, so good at stealth none has been spotted

Apparently leaked Mirage only carries mica ir for air to air

they already seem to be working on stealth, which again if true im not gonna be a happy cheesecake

I just wouldnt hold my breath for it. Best im hoping for as an additional MBT (and quite frankly, we dont need more MBTs, we need the ones we have fixed) is the full CR3. A dozer blade CR2 like the SF2 or even just adding back to the base CR2 would be really good, especially with the building mechanic coming.

After that, I just want things like a usable SAM system and a decent top tier IFV. Though maybe a Boxer that fires Brimstones could be seen sooner rather than later

Is there a source for that?

it doesnt, it carriers radar missiles aswell

No, the Mirage 2000D RMV cannot operate MICA EM

they can just unnerf the stormer hvm we be fine for the most part tho tbf

Honestly I’d have to ask people from my discord server who know a lot more about mirages and Rafales than me. They tend to be right so I trust them but I guess we will see.

But knowing gaijin, they wont get those missiles YET. For the sake of “balance”, i’d really be in favor of them being added now. Just with the current missiles available ingame but i get how that would cause a whole other problem

Still not got the range needed. We need something that has a range of at least 15km. Something like the Supacat HVM that fires ASRAAM or the Sky Sabre.

But also having next gen ir missiles on air to ground platforms seems like a good way of testing them before wider implementation

IRL the RMV carry MICA IR, but i can see gaijin giving it EM, even if MICA IR are in the files since the EM are too.

armat is close enough ig, i misread it as radar

In hindsight, I am not bothered by the lack of additions to look forward hahah

That way, I can focus even harder on the Japanese Bluewater tree; with the sale, I intend getting Mikuma, grinding Suzuya, and Talismanning it, with the GE I will get from selling Boxer, and I must get Mutsu and Fuso before Naval Rank VII comes (which would mean all 7.0s would go there and wouldn’t be able to use Premium/Talisman Rank Vs anymore), which may happen at any time now… so I will be rather busy xD

cant they just give it the upgraded missiles?

Yep same, things like Tornado Gr4 with ASRAAM, given a reasonable BR, wouldnt be even slightly OP, might even be worse off than just having Aim-9M. Especially as there is no chance they’ll be at full IRL strength

Usually if a pylon can take one type of mica, it can take the other type, are you sure about it CANT use MICA EM?

Because for the -5F for example, it can choose at will if it take 6x MICA EM or 6x MICA IR, or a mixt (IRL the most used one is 4x EM and 2x IR but all pylons can take whatever MICA)

I do agree with this. This gives Gaijin the opportunity to tweak stuff like their flare resistance of those missiles before bringing them to the widespread fighters.

They can change the missile, but has the same range, but has prox fuse and would be usable vs tanks.

I dont think the Stormer ever had a missile with a range greater than 7-8km

Tracked Rapier would be good to see in game as well, but that also maxes out about the same as the Stormer, maybe barely pushing out to ADATS range
