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

Nah, most of us are not coping US mains so we don’r care if another nation gets a slightly better version.

It’s not like the difference is so much that the 15I will shit on the 15E.

If Wikipedia is to be believed, it mounted both at different points. I think the one in Kubinka has the 150 mm though.

A little problem, isn’t the leak “_ _ - _”? SU-14 can’t fit in.

just like the f16 c didnt appear on the leaks

I think I ran into you in yesterday’s game

“USA’s Eurofighter Typhoon equivalent aircraft is superseded ever so slightly by Japan’s option!”
Yes, get over it.
F-15E won’t be better than F-15C MSIP for air to air BTW.
And air to ground it’s a sidegrade to what USA already has.
AKA, F-15E is nice variety.

Then it’s almost certainly the KV-7, though I’m far from an expert on Russian armor, so it could be something else, but I wouldn’t know what.

Though a SU-14 or SU-14-1 with 203MM B-4 would surely be super welcomed.

I wouldn’t expect it this update if I were you. Sorry, German mains.

F-15E is heavier than a C model but I’m pretty sure it still weighs less than a Flanker, I wouldn’t call it “Extremely heavy”.

It’s not that much heavier than the C, and if its the 229 engines its actually a net positive in T/W (excluding CFT ofc)

I know that the Osa will probably be the best option for Germany rn but why don’t they make this a mod for the FlaRakRad since they removed the Roland 3.

Speaking of expectations, do you think we’ve seen most of the update already? Any possibility of interesting surprise additions? Anything more for Japan? (okay the last one I had to ask for the Japan mains out there)

From what people have been saying I don’t think the OSA will beat the flarakrad.

It will beat it alone by not having to reload every 2 missiles

So you’ll have considerably worse missiles but have more of them ready.

There are always a couple of vehicles not on leak lists, this update is no exception. For example the Thai F-5E squadron, the B.Kh.18Kh wasn’t on leak lists either.

I’d have to see how gaijin models them in-game. The Tunguskas missiles are also considerably worse than the ones the Pantsir uses but are still very effective

I’m just going off what I read other people here saying. Which is that it’s missiles will only really be good against helis due to poor manouvrability.

yeah, it is probably going to be somewhere around 10.3/7, still it does help to fill some holes in the german or the italian tt
