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

The only thing that would matter are the Python 4s which likely won’t get added yet anyway, other than that nothing much changes, especially if they added an early variant of the F-15I which would have more CMs but (if I remember correctly) it lacks an RWR.

You mean like how the US gets a 9.7 premium Harrier with 240 CMs and Britain’s 9.7 premium Harrier has no CMs at all?

Well… Sorry to break it to you, that has already happened. F-15J(M) is F-15C but slightly better.

FA-50PL already in production (hopefully with AIM-120 integrated before entering service)

Isn’t that the same harrier that released with the extremely busted missiles?

Back in the day when flares werent really a thing. But these days it faces all-aspect slingers and the SRAAMs do this:

Also “new” (year old) information suggests they have double the current ingame range

really? wierd i didnt see that. can u tell me where u founed it?

That’s just it if fact upset people then why are they so set to this game being 1 to1 realistic lol

Angled pen was buffed, which is the hilarious thing.
Lost ~20mm of flat pen for ~8mm more angled pen.

Of course, it should be fixed.

I don’t saw F-15I Ra’am from the lastest leak list Yukari33

so, push to stop this from happening again

F-15E can also be delayed, may be it’s just finished earlier

I’ll wait until gaijin drop new trailer

looks like next week

Hope for a patch named “SKY SWEEPER”

hopefully germany CAS issues addressed when the update dropped currently it’s lacking so much in that area

Dont be so sure.

  • Swiss F-18 (if it gets added this update) wont necessarily have any CAS. IRL it did not.
  • Torando ASSTA3 (if it gets added this update) is a fairly minor upgrade over the ASSTA1 and isnt onpar with the GR4.
  • Additional loadout options for the Tornado ASSTA1 are possible, such as AGM-88 HARMs, but that is no gurantee either.

You might yet need to wait for Typhoon

the ASSTA3 will at least give it JDAM compatibility which will be better than nothing for Germany.

This is true. But that and BOZ-ECs are about it I think. At least assuming things like TAURUS arent added.
