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

Traditional Gaijin move. Nerf one thing but not the other…which for some reason is almost always positive to only one nation in game…hmmmmmmm

Chilling 30 minutes in a battle doing nothing lol, thats never going to happen

The Kh-38 doesn’t pick its own targets (as in, you can’t ripple fire them in 5 seconds) and can be countered with smoke
Not the Brimstones

So, with the KV-7 out of the way, what is everyones guess for the Dreams Come True event?
Anyone else think it’s a plane to coincide with the event schedule?

That’s fair, though I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone saying no to indigenous vehicles because of stuff in the subtree. Like, I’ve seen positive ratios for foreign equipment that was only ever evaluated on the forums, so the I doubt you’d have to worry about the community. The actual issue is if Gaijin doesn’t add them in because a subtree vehicle fills that hole.

The problem I have with that is those sides haven’t been a continuous thing post WW2. Nations do swap sides every now and then, especially after the fall of the USSR, and isn’t anywhere close to being a bigger issue then copy paste is as a whole, east or west tech be damned.

KV-7 U-13 is still my guess

I have, heck i have in the past few weeks. When I mentioned about the UK leak for the GR4, A German main told me that Britain shouldnt get it because we have the Gripen and so dont need a new top tier aircraft.

Also the fact we only just getting the Scimitar, when it could have come anytime in the past few years, says a lot. Getting the few light tnaks we have over the past year has been an uphill battle

@soviet_MoonMan arises from his slumber!

It turns out that helicopter 10.0 replaces the most advanced GBR helicopter?

Since both Grom E1 and E2 were datamined, it’s safe to assume we’re getting both. E1 has the normal rocket motor, and E2 replaced the rocket motor with an additional explosive pack

They should only be satellite guided, so only good against stationary targets. Well have to see if it gets the Kh-38’s but I’m assuming it will

Wildcat with 20x Martlet missiles which can be used both to shoot down aircraft and tanks at a range of about 8km iirc, with a decent defensive kit if im not mistaken. Then yes to be honest. Id palce the Wildcat with or above the AH-64D

The absence of Dunkerque makes me think it wasn’t ready either. Either they’re pretty early and the devs are crunching hard, or it simply isn’t the priority in this patch.

Both have volumetric explosive enhancement, so E2 will weigh 500kg in explosive mass and hit like a 1000kg bomb.

And nothing for Sweden or Italy. At least Germany gets a vehicle this update

I’m kinda hoping they add terminal guidance modes one day.

I know what it is. I don’t understand how the presence of an intermediate helicopter should affect when it is added to the game

This is a teaser trailer, hold your horses

Seeing as the leaklist has been really accurate so far, they’ll likely get the OSA.

And for Sweden, while I hate Sweden top tier ground, they can get some mid tier stuff.

Because instead of them modeling the Hind, they could have modeled the Wildcat and if we ask for the Wildcat or AH-64E for sooner rather than later, we will be told that we just got the hind and are being selfish. Happens all the time
