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

The door is already open, according to the long-term leaks. Of course Gaijin will eventually add the F-22 and F-35 and J-20 and Su-57, they’ll make a ton of money.

If the game is ever going to be “ready” for them, it is better to add something like the F-117 early and figure out how to implement stealth and how to make counters available.

I’m sure late Tranche Eurofighters and Rafales can do more than well enough

At least they do in real life on the combat exercises…

And we both know SU-57 will probably be way better ingame than we know it to be in real life, hahah.

Im fully expecting Typhoon to not have any issues locking a F-22 at long range but the SU-57 will be totally invisible to both radar and IRST even at point blank range

we talking about the same SU-57 lol? with the radar signature of a bus?

Unfortunately you are probably right, but I would not mind at if they heavily gimped the stealth element for balance. Hell- as we get further into the modern era, I become more supportive of direct nerfs for balance, because the nations arent balanced at all irl.

Thats its own topic, however. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

depends do we get meteor and brimstones?

We went over this already… “game is not ready for FOX3 missiles”, “game is not ready for supersonic jets”, “game is not ready for missiles”, etc

We are talking about Gaijin modeled Su-57, not IRL Su-57

Game is not ready for Brimstone

i shall cope

I still maintain the game was not ready for Fox-3s, and I would argue that the difference between late-subsonic and supersonic, and the difference between no missiles and AIM-9Bs is far less then the difference I am describing.

And, to an extent, everybody was right, as many of the mechanics come to the game half-working and poorly balanced.

But with time, the balance improves, a meta forms, and the game expands.

Obviously the process is not perfect. But a willingness to try new things is probably the reason that War Thunder is still around.

Its a catch 22, it will never be ready for them, without a reason for them to make it ready for them. So they need to come before they’ll be able to balance them.

That being said. We want to rain brimstone down onto them

honestly at this point i think the game is ready for them

they did extend IR missles to keep flying even with obstacles and relock targets already

I was hoping the Dream Come True would be the Foxbat tbh

When it comes to IR signature it will 100% be worse than competition but radar signature isnt as far off as people make it out to be.

Not British commonwealth though so not this time lol

We have barely even seen the first of the Fox3s and you already want Meteors? Might as well add the Deathstar while we are at it

I was in the same boat, this Soviet tank seems interesting but not quite as exciting as some of the other options
