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

So uh, according to the VERY fake leaklists, three nations are getting the OSA BM3.
Will that be superior to the FlaRakRad/Tor-M though? I mean, the range is supposed to be better right?

I don’t think so, 15km is just self destruct range, it should already loose it’s speed and mobility
and it’s much slower than VT-1

Well hopefully it does at the very least guide better then.
( Though it’s still a massive step up for italy)

All share similar guidence logic, though it’s booster should last longer and the range with mobility should be good

Should I buy 75% off M18 Black Cat?

I have a feeling that Gaijin will just smack JHMCS on the F-15E, so it would be a 2010+ version. I guess it’s not impossible for Gaijin to introduce a 13.7 without HMS, though I think it would be the first one. Plenty of 13.3s without though, which isn’t too far off.

we could get a ton of great a2g weapons then, would be quite nice

Yea, but that’s the problem. Gaijin will probably ignore all that. JHMCS will probably be added simply only to even the balance, but I would like to be suprised. Especially with the potential SEAD mode, I think Gaijin can really go all loose with A2G munitions.

but retain LANTIRN AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod like F-15E in the desert storm

From the Iraqi freedom but before integraded AIM-9X Sidewinder and Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)

F-15E in 2003 drop GBU-31(V)1/B only

Rockwell GBU-15 another variant but newer and better GBU-15(V)1/B & GBU-15(V)2/B

Spoiler
  • GBU-15(V)31/B
  • GBU-15(V)32/B
  • GBU-15(V)1C/B
  • GBU-15(V)2C/B

Boeing (Rockwell) AGM-130. my guess

Hey guys, if there are no Chinese planes in the leaked picture, does that mean there are no Chinese aircraft updates for this version?

No. Leaks rarely contain even 2/3 of the additions. The reliable leak list that I’m personally trusting has only a handful of vehicles on it

That being said. October updates have been historically light on aircraft and with the last few updates being quite heavily air focused, I could see ground getting the majority of additions along with a few good naval additions.

Last year that was the F111A, JH-7A and Mig-29G. That was it for aircraft.

You lot just had the J-10 and the JF-17 so I would expect some lower aircraft count for China this update
