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

was thinking the same, guess only time will tell

F-15E can carry a lot of stuff, has better engines, and retains a2a so imo it’s pretty interesting. Might not be best in air rb but sim and grb that thing is gonna be aamzing

Did someone confirm they aren’t coming?

I feel like the Hornets not coming this update basically guarantees they will be in the December update though.

@Smin1080p_WT Will we have a teaser?

depends on BR

it’s fast as hell in both directions

Those conformals, the dark grey paint, was one of my first favorite planes, after the A-10. If the 15E comes, and has a Mountain Home tail camo, I just might start grinding the US again.

Also, @Apollo_1641 , I wouldn’t get too worked up. Last year this time, Su-24 didn’t come with the F-111, nothing interesting was happening for USSR (the line I have played the most), and then December patch was Su-27 and T-90M. If they don’t send Hornets this patch, they seem overdue to send them in December. It’ll be here before you know it.

PLZ05 is very good, but, guys, did you know that actually PLZ05 has an APFSDS for distribution? I (or the Chinese forum) found it! Despite the fact that there is not a lot of information, I believe that armor-piercing shells for self-propelled guns sound very interesting!

I think you misunderstood what I said, I said that SK should go to Japan if there isn’t a “less destructive” nation to consider adding in, and we already have Thailand, so the Thais are a valid option since SK is not possible. There are other willing nations that does not mind being a part of the Japanese subtree either.

Nah-uh, unless you are looking forward to spend most of your life in prison, I would suggest not trying to look further into that

Thanks man, I’ll hang in there :D

It is very interesting for sure, but aren’t artillery supposed to operate some distance from the front line so that they won’t see opposing tanks directly?

Something has to have gone very wrong for those APFSDS to be needed, I think

supposed to doesn’t help you a lot when someone does break through

that’s why most SPAAs have self defence ammunition like HEAT-FS or APFSDS shells

Uh, take it easy, I found it on public reports, from 2018

We don’t know much about it, but we found it in official public reports

PLZ-05 is certainly interesting. Didnt expect China to be the one getting the first non-premium Vidar tier Artillery

Yes, I thought it would be PZH2000 or 2S19 or something

as far as the leaks go there is only one red flag and that is the F-117 nighthawk

Now I’m not worried about what this plane will do to the game state (in the sense of being P2W). It’s a rather unimposing and unimpressive stealth aircraft, with a whopping 2 guided bombs and nothing else really going for it.

But that also is why it’s a massive red flag. This aircraft especially as a Squadron/Premium vehicle will DESTROY the matchmaking at a BR unless it’s hard limited in how many can be in a match, because much like the first Arado, this plane can’t kill other planes. (and hell it can barely do ground strike in ARB)

This plane will be a nightmare to spade. But it’s also probably the best way Gaijin can dip their toes into stealth jets without burning down the entire game.

it’s sub sonic and carries 2 bombs, Regular or guided

it can’t be above 9.0, it’ll likely be much lower even

I’d say 7.7 is on the table

at this BR Stealth doesn’t matter at all
