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

They’ve already added 4.5th gen fighters.

F15 slamming all of these, GOAT fighter, unparalleled on introduction and still capable today

Going to piss off some people here, but I think the EF is kind of ugly not going to lie.

I said what I said because I believe that these radars will increase the amount of situations where it becomes nigh impossible to dodge a radar missile

to elaborate on this. It’d be extremely bad business to make a plane as iconic as the F/A-18, and as awaited for as the F/A-18 to be useless in its own update.

Hence why dropping it with the EFT (a plane that heavily outperforms it) is stupid

So… US Pilots need a massive advantage, like getting the F-16C despite already having the meta F-16A before a nation like Sweden could get the Gripen A?

This is the issue here. US and USSR will continue to get ever better aircraf that will only widen the gap between the current aircraft. You said it yourself, F-4F ICE cannot ocmpete with the F-15C. Gripen C (SA) cannot compete with the F-15C. Heck, you even struggle wit place the Mirage 2K.

So what can Britain, Germany, Italy and France get without another C&P from another coutnry to bodge them to keep them in the fight. They barely are currently and with the USSR likely getting a major boost soon and god knows what buffs something like the F-15E will get over the F-15C. And the F-18C will be the best BVR truck in game by far (based upon what is currently in game)

Then what can those nations get? Seriously?

I dont want a repeat of 2023 where we were fighting for something even remotely competitive whilst we sat and watched the US get a new aircraft… every… single…update.

Not bad, not bad…

You mean like how they added Gen 4s like the F-16 before they had even added Gen 3s like the Tornado?

More so when they added F-14A by itself without anything else to go against it.

All this pics missing is a Gripen :p

I just enter a little friend of mine in the group :p

Résumé

Tornado F3 should have been added with the F-14A, drive me nuts it came a year later

China is it’s own special beast that I ain’t touching with a 10 foot pole.

Look man, all I know is that an airframe from the 90s and early 2000s should not be playing tango with airframes from the 70s, so unless you think the Typhoon has such bad flight performance to the point where it’s comparable to an airframe from the 70s, it should not be added at this moment in time.

depending on year the f15e wont be better than the 15C in air to air, and the US and USSR made a whole lot of airplanes

Gaijin wanted to profit off the Top Gun Maverick hype, I guess.

You are REALLY overestimating the EFT here dont get me wrong its gonna be really good but its NOT as far from the F/A-18 as you make it out to be

I can see F-15E adding things missing off the F-15C. I know the E was more about CAS, but I can see F-15E coming with things like a newer radar and BOL, maybe also newer AMRAAMs.

Yep…
