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

china doesnt have targeting pods either

all i am saying the pantsir was a mistake, russia would have done with tor m1 just like china did

and overall china is worse of then russia

yes B mavericks… at a time when the 27K had a worse FM, 2 KH29s, no ability to defend itself.

and the SMT have 2 KH29s that it had to trade it’s 2 R27s for…

the MLU had them both beat still-

Pantsir is way better than TOR-M1… TOR-M1 is basically useless against any jet within 2 km… Pantsir’s missiles does not need to vertically launch and it also has 30mms…

Also the F117 will be a gimmick aircraft obviously it will be very very limited but itll be a good gimmick aircraft and be a good testbed for stealth in WT

I think when people refer to pod, they are thinking more of an external targeting pod with wide gimbal limits. This internal pod won’t solve that issue that the Russian tree has, at best this internal sight can look backwards quite a bit but not to the sides (it’s wedged between the intakes even).

Anyway, the Russian tree often compensates with just having better targeting sights built into their TV/IIR weapons anyway, essentially having a mini built-in targeting pod minus the gimbal limits, so targeting pods are less needed, though it would be nice to see.

my face when it is the best SPAA in the game

it’s the best SPAA in the game but he does have a point (as a CAS main)

SPAA in general just suck rn dawg.

Ngl, I’m just gonna use the OSA-AKM instead of the Pantsir cause it looks cooler, and is less OP and requires a little bit of skill.

And honestly, the Pantsir shouldn’t have even have came yet, and instead we should have the TOR-M1 for Ru.

still strong enough aircraft
didnt warrant the addition of the pantsir, tor m1 would have been good enough
the differences arent that strong

you are crying like russia is always so bad when thats just not true

Speaking of Rank VI ships;

Would you have any news to share in regards to this bug report?

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/rZUu8y6txOsb

This would play a big role in the salvation of American Rank VI, so I would really be looking forward to it!

If F-117 comes, what air BR would yall say it would be? My bet is 9.7 MAX.

except I’m not crying, I’m just stating facts-

You’re the one getting heated and throwing insults when I’m just bringing up true points. I’m not even defending Russia out of some “nation main” bias, I play China and France more than Russia.
