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

WWII stuff is also so much more accessible since it doesn’t take thousands of matches to unlock. I just want something that I can unlock in a reasonable amount of time, and that will be in an enjoyable and balanced game.

Or drone age and drones.

Ngl this has to be the best update for US maind just by the F-117 alone and no doubt the Hornest by Christmas too

Yeah, looks like it will get the first aircraft mounted PESA ingame, unless Gaijin pulls the SU-34 “Early/Prototype” BS.
It also has a rear facing radar, so that will be interesting to see how its incorporated.

WWII is quite fleshed out, in comparison to the other Eras

but at the same time there are so incredibly many WWII vehicles they could add that they can easily fill another 10 years of unique content just with WWII stuff

ok so the entire reason why I hate this discussion of WW2 vs Cold War/Modern

is because it’s just a case of “no I want my stuff you cant have yours” on both sides. Yes Gaijin should provide for WW2 and early game, but there’s already such a DRASTIC amount of content for those groups, compared to top tier which is relatively speaking dry on content it is 100% reasonable for Top tier to get more focus.

You don’t need to like it, you just need to be rational and understand the “why”

All į know that
Japan lacks of WW2 aircrafts and also cold war.

Im not mocking anyone.
And the H and G would be nice duo to 60mm hull armor, which is the biggest weakness of the F and the gap to the J.
Even angled the 30mm Front of the F wont protect against the 37 and 40mm guns.

The U.S. singlehandedly has more WW2 content than Russia, America, and Germany (the 3 biggest nations) have modern era equipment COMBINED

The thing is, nobody is going to grind out an event for a low br light tank, besides those who absolutely adore the vehicle, with the possible exception of incredibly famous vehicles like the Bob Semple and the Czar Tank. That cuts out a lot of the vehicles of low br. Dreams Come True tends to go with vehicles that are highly requested for implementation, even if they aren’t particularly practical, see the Sturmtiger. I feel that narrows down the possibilities quite a bit, but I’m not particularly well versed on Russian tanks to give suggestions. Honestly, I would have assumed it to be the F117 given that it has the star power, but wouldn’t be practical, much like the Sturmtiger.

Same, especially because it feels like they are underbaking content to either string out, or to just have something there. Honestly, that’s probably the biggest reason why we have so much copy paste, it’s either we get copy paste or nothing for the more minor nations.

A lot of really interesting prototypes, quite a few production vehicles, vehicles with dozers, and a number of really interesting or otherwise significant modifications have yet to be implemented. Japan, to my understanding, could have a full line of attacker aircraft at least through WW2 that just haven’t been added for whatever reason, and the US probably has enough cars/armored cars to justify an entirely new line.

Honestly though, I’m more pissed off with how they speed ran cold-war stuff. There’s plenty of content there to have stayed in the era for much longer.

isnt AESA better

it’s not that easy, that’s the problem

Well yes obviously… but there are no aircraft in game with AESA either

Will there be an update preview tomorrow?

no

Wow, Su-34 I’ll take it but man the nose looks ugly :/

I agree, well WW2 and its thousands of missing vehicles interest me more. That fact that the entire early-to-mid Cold War is missing outside a handful of big-name planes and MBTs is really disappointing.

Was hoping to see a mig29K or Su33 for Russia tbh, and an F14D for the US. Happy with the Tornado GR4 though!
