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

back in the day it was saturdays as well

I like it, it’s pretty much PRC equivalent to the in-game VIDAR, minus thermals.

I do but I would have preferred this one:

Next thursday or friday. maybe

Luchs could be kinda funny if they actually make it silent but it would still be mid as hell :(

So we gonna get a second devblog today? Is there a method to the madness?

Never a waste,
“Offer similar capability” ~ i understand but that’s not everyone’s point?
Instead of skipping vehicles and going straight to the latest one, why not reach there gradually and gracefully?
PLZ-05 wont plug an emergency gap in Chinese tree, so if the team plans out properly then there won’t be a “waste of resource” would it? If the two vehicles are similar then why not add the first one, -045 and then add the latest, -05 in later patch?
They added ZTZ-99A after which added ZTZ-88s. Not similar, but understand what I am alluding here? ZBD-08(-04A) before ZBD-97 or ZBD-86.
This is what @StormRyder13 also highlighted a day back.
Its the speedrun to add the latest vehicle is what hampering and resulting in Gaijin’s erratic decisions.

At this point, it seems unlikely. If anything, we might get the teaser later today, but that’s uncertain.

I am tbh.

I’m not a big fan of the F-15E in the first place, it’s just a F-15 with CAS ability, other than that it’s very dull and won’t bring any new aspect to air battles.

My hope was actually for Hornets, because 1. it’s way cooler than the Strike Eagle, 2. because then more nations could get theirs at the same time. Germany in particular really needs the leaked Swiss Hornet.

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
