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

Do you know anything about ray tracing or other graphic changes?

You can clearly see from these photos the OS2U Kingfisher livery was changed in Russian service…

Note the lack of the previously prominent fuselage star n bar.

Russian stars were added later

I doubt it will be global, as seen from images it’s already different between f16 and gripen. Shape, size and placement of vortices is greatly affected by aircraft geometry, I assume they made internal tools to add vortices easily to aircraft

When do you guys think the teaser will drop?

Hopefully, tomorrow; and the day after tomorrow, stream and server.

Otherwise, if they wait till next week, there would be too little time between the dev server and the update release to fix most of the issues that will surely be present.

That’s what I was thinking too since the update is supposed to come out in early November and the dev server usually lasts about two weeks

Teasers are on Thursdays

Not always. They’ve been on other days before. Though this time I am expecting it on Thursday.

The unpainted blank ones were also possible but we don’t know for certain the last one is a kingfisher from Murmansk. So it was decided to go with one proven directly that they still retained the US livery from my previous post.

This should probably matter. On the 2nd picture of the ship you can see 1 on the tail of the plane, and the 3rd picture also show it with 1 on the tail.

The Russians only recieved 2 Kingfishers. Therefore the picture of the plane with full Russian markings must be from Murmansk as both can be seen in the precious pics.

Now that we are getting the BP blogs, any word on if we are going to get a new tank or is it going to be an RNG box? Assuming the rumour leak is correct on the plane ofc.

Feeling there’s gonna be a nice devblog tomorrow

I know the real teaser. But sometimes we have gotten these tiny ones. Like the skink one for example.

yes
The Mi-8AMTSh-VN is equipped with the LSZ-8VN airborne defense system - it automatically detects missile launches and uses false thermal targets.

GAIJIN is getting every MI-24 a MI-8 equal, now it’s MI-35M
