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

then I would rather wait until we have the british aircraft first

Someone should just make a yt channel full of trash leaks and predictions that have to be true.
As a parody of course.

10km missile with a long sustainer, decent warhead, bad manouverability, can gudie 2 missiles at once, radar will be ok, but there is a chance it will lack IFF. 10.3-10-7. Between Tunguska and Strela.

Though in RB mode, everyone gets IFF, so not a big problem

not so bad I think, the G limit is only a part, not all, lasting sustainer means it can keep the max G load all the way, while 2S6, with a 32g max, but less than 20 in most time

Well, yes but no.

I didn’t say have those instead of British, I’d rather see British planes first, but in the future I’d love to see su30mkis armed with astra missiles or the hal tejas but i agree British aircraft first

Its said to not come to Russia, bc… you know. It serves zero purpose in that tec tree. (Tor cough cough)

India could add IDK…
TATA Kestrel
Zorawar LT
Tejas
Modernised Jaguar

To name a few relatively modern vehicles, of which IMO pretty much all of them would add a niche not fully covered by the UK.

Though ofc, not everyone is hyperfocused on modern day vehicles.

Self quoting from a long while back when people were complaining about India being added over IDK, Canada etc. Also not everyone is interested in only modern vics.

Theres literally nothing wrong with India as a sub-faction for the UK, the problem is the vehicles gaijin have picked to implement. India has a huge number of domestic vehicles and UK-related vehicles they could add.

Blame the selected vehicles, not India. We will see the same for other nations like Australia or Canada, copies of German or American vehicles added, not domestic and it would be the same exact issue.

Sick and tired of India getting talked down when it isnt Indias fault here.

Jets without copying a Russian design, either domestic or British influenced.

Gnat, Ajeet, Sea Harrier FRS.51, Marut(the first ever domestic jet fighter built in Asia IIRC), Tejas, Kiran, Sitara to name a few. Helis you got the Prachand.

Tanks which have some Russian influence at times but overall, could be argued unique enough for those too.

Vijayanta - mk1b (LRF), Mk2, Catapult, GBT 155. Arjun, EX/Karna tank. In the future the Zorawar LT too. NAMICA (nag missile carrier), sure its on a BMP2 stretched chassis but local built and local design. If really needing it, AMX-13 from france! xD

This is just off my head, I am sure plenty of people with more in depth knowledge of Indian workings can easily list off more vehicles.

The most I see in hostility to India being added seems to honestly be from people who want American gear added to the UK tree via Canada/Australia.

Just because you dont want India doesnt mean nobody does lol.

Fortunately.

No, give me my spaa, ALL OF THEM!

Not the foreign ones.

I think he is talking about the Russian bias theory, if one thing is from Russian(the one with tricolor flag), it will be op, but USSR ones won’t, kinda stupid theory.

my comment was on the fact they said they could fill gaps, I see no gaps india could fill that the UK itself couldn’t the only one could be modern SAMs that about it

Tbh i dont care from where they are, im an SPAA main, and i want them all.

There are a plethora of better options.

The vehicles I originally named can fill gaps the UK cant fill.

Modern wheeled IFV with autocannon, you could say boxer but IDK about that 1 really.
Modern light tank, tracked, with gun/iirc autoloader, again not really somethign the UK has. “latest” being prototype warriors from the 80s and 90s.
Tejas, light supersonic modern fighter, the UK doesnt really have anything there.
Modernised jaguar - see above.

Tbh, im not sure what would be a Osa equivalent. Can you give me an example?
