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

I too would like to see an F-15E, but will there be an F-15I added? The F-15I is basically the same as the early F-15E with the only difference being the number of C/Ms and Python 4.

It can use AIM-9M just fine. Armament is a balance factor afterall

Eh, IIRC, even with the China ASEAN leak, there was a specific mention saying Thailand wouldn’t be part of that subtree.

Then what are they? If they aren’t subtrees, what then?

As for the hornets thing, yeah. A Canadian or Australian Hornet in the GB tt is reasonable.

The what ?

Incorrect, heck it got enough stuff for its own TT.

Let’s put it this way every nation in the game can get Canadian-built stuff, either through itself or a sub-tree/related nation.

Canada has domestic vehicles for every rank(or almost every) in-game. Even if I’m constantly fighting with curtain nation mains because they want to claim Canada’s modern domestic vehicle as theirs. And well the ground would have more domestic stuff it’s not like the air doesn’t have anything, it has 8 domestic airframes(19 aircraft) to its name if I counted correctly there might be more actually. What the air tree does have going for it, is licensed building. to the point 70-80% of the Canadian air tree I’m working on is Canadian-built.

The idea that Canada never built anything is crazy considering history and where Canada is placed. The UK got Canada building stuff domestically in the 1930s, heck Canada tried to build a domestic fighter in the 1930s. And even during the war, Canada built a number of stuff including a domestic medium tank that has 15 or so variants altogether. Tho Canada’s most notable stuff is what got Canada labelled as “allied Italy” playstyle-wise back in the day. So things like the CMP Trucks that were converted into a number of TD and SPAA variants, to top it off a number of nations can get something based on a CMP Truck(including Isreail and Sweden(Norway)).

Now if Canada’s pretty decent collection of vehicles doesn’t move you enough, there is always the option to combine it with the ANZACs and remove almost any need to have C&P outside a handful of things.

…Oh wait this was about a sub-tree. Canada isn’t the issue for a Canadian sub-tree it would be Gaijin, as they hate the idea of a unique and full sub-tree. Take a look at all the others in the game. So despite there being options Gaijin would only pick their C&P.

From what we been told they are “floaties” not the official name but you get the idea.
They have a rule of if the US doesn’t need them and Britain has a cancelled project or a hole that need to be filled, then Britain should get them.

However if there no hole needs to be filled and we got our own tech then they will be added to the original country that made them.

Nothing they aren’t anything. Well, they are something: a way to milk nations’ in-game players money well also giving lip service that they are doing those nations good(even if their “good” does nothing but make the people from these nations mad).

I can’t speak for everyone, but I would legit trade half of the planes that the US got for an actual 2A7/122 counterpart. Or hell just a new MBT that isn’t a straight up downgrade over the old one (cough SEPv2).

I would say the same for other nations without a 2A7/122 counterpart, but they got less planes so they wouldn’t need to trade anything.

It’s incredibly likely though. I would say 70-80% sure at least.

Why would it?

Or maybe Gaijin should just fix existing top tier M1s
Turret ring should be approx 200mm-ish thick
LFP should provide around 500mm against KE penetrators
etc.

That is still not a 2A7V/122 counterpart though.

The LFP armor is a debate that I don’t want to bring up here, as to not to derail this thread, but Gaijin has stated what they believe, so it’s safer and quicker to just ask for the SEPv3 (which is also closer to the 2A7s when it comes to how old it is).

hmm, uk behaviour

German behaviour - Germany Suffers - doesn’t angle the Tiger : P

That’s the hope, at least, but It was mentioned elsewhere that it’s not set in stone where Thailand ends up. Honestly, I hope they change their minds and add some of the ASEAN countries to Japan. But I suppose we’ll have to see on that front.
