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

Being left out of “stealth” doesn’t matter. The only nation with any real capacity for stealth early on is the U.S.

Everyone else pretty much has to wait for the F35. A nighthawk adds nothing and does not need to be added.

They don’t have any IIrc we do because they tried to sell us that same thing

they offered the thing and you rejected-

Plus the plane is so bad you do not need it and nobody actually wants it. You’re fighting over a bad plane.

They offered the AJ they too refused still in game tho

Death, I also think the UK F-117 would be funny but this is not a hill you should be ready to die on.

In case why being over protective over it ahhhhhhhhhhh

I do not defend the AJ, I also don’t think the solution is to continue to perpetuate the problem.

You’re trying to die on a hill over a plane you wont even use because you know it’s ass.

F-15E if added with the right loadout, could fix USA wr by pure CAS (probably not)

i mean if they gave it the FULL loadout (no modern stuff like 9x or even 120c, just the big AGM it was meant to carry)… it might

Was rushed in my initial post.
My post was not an assumption of version or otherwise.
Just a potential reality.

It is entirely possible we get a later F-15E, it’s possible we get the first iteration.

And as for the comparison to Tornado IDS:
F-15E is a heavy beast, and with CAS-mode, its maneuverability is ~13 degrees per second [conformal tanks attached as required] before weapon systems.

Of course you can choose to bring only wing CAS options if you want, but your loadout is inferior to F-16C.

Cause Gaijin had no plans for a Japanese sub tree at the time.
Decisions based on lack of information happen sometimes, and that’ll be corrected in the future.

Just funny how people come up with the question of need for everything.

I mean in the last update the US had,

AV-8 (premium)
A-10C
F-111F

In this one they will get,

F-15C
F-117

But yet in last update and this we only had the F-111C and the upcoming Tornado G.R.4.
I’m sure the US players really need to educate us on what we “need” hehe

CFTs are not required for 6x AGM-65s and up to a 2000lb GBU centerline, while still carrying 4x AIM-120s

I don’t think he’s wrong, they put the most into EW.

  1. F-16AJ in-game is ahistorical. Not modelled correctly.

  2. It will be removed when there are better options. It was added to fill a gap, especially with CAS. Britain doesn’t have this problem. Why even add the F-117??

One simple and unique answer m8

Spoiler

For the lolz

It is required if you want a CAS loadout that’s better than F-16C’s.
I can see many people already running F-16C + AV-8B passing on F-15E cause that’s 2.5 mil SL of prep to do the same thing as F-16C or more if they choose a weaker performance.

F15E but yeah, i think they will give it agm 130 to give it a real advantage and make it end of line worthy.

Also the 111C and F were pretty overdue imo, A-10C was pretty DOA in its intended role, and as for the av8 it serves only to give a premium jdam platform and to pull in profit.

Aye agree plus I won’t be surprised if the Hornet came in the next update which realistic vould also be why they put the F-117 as a Squadron
