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

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

Yeah, closest to the Roland 1/3 in performance than anything else ingame.

Honestly, guys, I’d love to see the new Chinese planes, and some small toys like the JL-9 or JL-10 or something.

We know.

Both “maneuverability” and “speed”???

Yes, its one of the earliest self-propelled SAM’s made

dont know about maneuverability but they are quite slow

Okay, maybe I will stick with the Otomatic XD

Is it possible for Germany to get a new strong CAS? This could make my Boxer sell a little better :P

Until the Typhoon T2 bl 10 comes, the best we can get is the Tornado ASSTA3.1, which is barely better than the ASSTA1.

Just took a look at the stats on wikipédia (I know that’s not the most credible source)

But the 9K33M3 doesn’t seem all that bad:

  • 10-12 km range
  • 1020 m/s (mach 2.9)
  • 20G max overload

It’s def way worse than the VT 1 but not as much as I expected
