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

eh you say that, I can see the game being around in like 5 years and by then I can see a flying prototype for the tempest being done

nono the tempest would of needed to be in active service for a few years before its added duh

I don’t get why people keep screaming that the typhoon and rafale will be op, they will all be using the same amraams and micas anyway ( lets be real meteors and mica irs aint gonna be added anytime soon) and fm matters less and less at top tier now. It would be a nice change seeing some variety and seeing uk/ger/fr being really competitive if not top dogs for a while. US and RU will have plenty of time to catch up and they have some of the best aircraft in existence anyway so why the fear?

Edit: I am a US main in air btw

Doubt it happen but i hope they work not only on stealth but other EW suit and things like that.

If they only work on stealth, US and RU have the upperhand.

If they work on the rest, other plane can catch up.

Rafales have still a good reduced radar size, not stealth, but the SPECTRA EW suit make it using “another” sort of stealth, specially messing up with enemy radars.
Not “nothing” on the radar like F-35s, but show multiples Rafales in differents area when it can be only one.

Also recent test from India showed the SPECTRA suit on Rafale fry Su-30 radars xD

Now yeah, i can totally see Gaijin saying “too hard to code” but can do things for stealth plane… BUT it’s not because we are not full stealh 5Gen that we don’t lack tools.

Stealth is not everything. Also hold loadout under wings and you lost stealth, shoot and you lost stealth… Really people overestimate stealh i think.

if euro aircraft got correct missiles they would dominate top tier yes, but thats only because america made stealth fighters, euro aircraft are 4.5 gen afterall

like it wouldnt be extremly op… it would just be better then american top tier and the mythical su57s, so good at stealth none has been spotted

Apparently leaked Mirage only carries mica ir for air to air

they already seem to be working on stealth, which again if true im not gonna be a happy cheesecake

I just wouldnt hold my breath for it. Best im hoping for as an additional MBT (and quite frankly, we dont need more MBTs, we need the ones we have fixed) is the full CR3. A dozer blade CR2 like the SF2 or even just adding back to the base CR2 would be really good, especially with the building mechanic coming.

After that, I just want things like a usable SAM system and a decent top tier IFV. Though maybe a Boxer that fires Brimstones could be seen sooner rather than later

Is there a source for that?

it doesnt, it carriers radar missiles aswell

No, the Mirage 2000D RMV cannot operate MICA EM

they can just unnerf the stormer hvm we be fine for the most part tho tbf

Honestly I’d have to ask people from my discord server who know a lot more about mirages and Rafales than me. They tend to be right so I trust them but I guess we will see.

But knowing gaijin, they wont get those missiles YET. For the sake of “balance”, i’d really be in favor of them being added now. Just with the current missiles available ingame but i get how that would cause a whole other problem

Still not got the range needed. We need something that has a range of at least 15km. Something like the Supacat HVM that fires ASRAAM or the Sky Sabre.

But also having next gen ir missiles on air to ground platforms seems like a good way of testing them before wider implementation

IRL the RMV carry MICA IR, but i can see gaijin giving it EM, even if MICA IR are in the files since the EM are too.

armat is close enough ig, i misread it as radar

In hindsight, I am not bothered by the lack of additions to look forward hahah

That way, I can focus even harder on the Japanese Bluewater tree; with the sale, I intend getting Mikuma, grinding Suzuya, and Talismanning it, with the GE I will get from selling Boxer, and I must get Mutsu and Fuso before Naval Rank VII comes (which would mean all 7.0s would go there and wouldn’t be able to use Premium/Talisman Rank Vs anymore), which may happen at any time now… so I will be rather busy xD

cant they just give it the upgraded missiles?
