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

Gr4 has max 2x Aim-9 or ASRAAM, but Mirage RMV is still a Mirage and the GR4 is still a Tornado. I think that is what he means

Flying proto for tempest comes online in 2027.

I am gonna be making a suggestion don’t you worry.

Same boat, i absolutely dislike the current state of air rb right now which is what led me to spade the f-5e fcu completely only using ground rb with a lotta air kills to go with it too. I might have only played 3 games of air rb with it lol

In Air Sim, it will be a super easy stock grind, at either 12.0 or 13.0 depending on AAM. But im more interested in the A2G, I dont really care what AAM it gets, so long as it has interesting A2G options (not even Brimstone, Id settle for things like ALARM, Storm Shadow and ePaveways if they were modeled right, though of course, Brimstones would make it a no brainer)

Maybe teaser today? it’s more common onThursdays but who knows…

E-Paveways would be cool but idk how gaijin would make them work, and I doubt we will see ALARMs and with out those 2 there isn’t a reason for the tornado Gr4 if it only gets a new pod and 9Ms since that will probably shove it to like 12.7

RMV can’t use Magics2 IRL (even the MICA EM seems impossible to use), so except if Gaijin really do magic things on the possible loadout , the stock grind sound horrible

Im debating buying the RN Pola. I would like to grind japan but cannot be bothered with HE only and/or lack of armour i already had to deal with that on the British cruisers.

But then again… Japan has a very nice fleet and its large.

Thats the one thing putting me of buying the Pola is that the tree is smaller so less “worthwhile” than that 6.0 premium cruiser in Japan.

If Italy and France were rolled into one I think I’d be more tempted but obviously thats not a thing for good reason.

ePaveways will probably just be the GPS guided bombs for it, nothing fancier than that. Unless they gave it a toggle so you could choose between GPS or Laser+IOG before dropping. Would be kinda fun in Sim.

ALARM, I think has a chance, small one, but a chance.

Gr4 with 9M I’d barely justify being 12.0. Would say 11.7 if it wasnt for the extra CMs it gets and the optional MAWS

On a side note, i wonder when other nations like RU, GB, FR and SWE will get their 12.0 premium jets and what do u guys think would be the most apprpriate variants for it? I wanna get a premium to finish russia and start sweden so baaaaad

Would be awesome, but dont get hopes up… Still no devblog aswell

How many times have there been a teaser that is not on a thursday?

GB already has the Mig-21 Bigmac. So we wont get another for 18 months. Though id hope for something like a Saudi Tornado GR1/F3 or Harrier Gr5 as a premium

Apparently once but this day could be the day that it becomes twice

patience young padawan

Oh yeah i forgot GB had the indian mig-21 recently lol

Yeah… still fingers crossed for something more interesting sooner rather than later. Maybe a “Hawk T1 - Red Arrow” or something, that would be rather fun.

Im talking as a Premium, on the TT id hope for Hawk 100/200/203

They would be very fun, but we did get bison recently so doubt we will get anything
