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

But GPS so its like, China no, cause only 500kg + there is Pantsir, Russia, yes cause 3000kg + nothing more than 10km effectively.

GPS guided = not guided lol

oh yea and also kab 1500 s e

I think you’ll find GPS is a form of guidance. You mean it is unable to be retargeted, independent tracking or man in the loop guidance.

They are guided they can and do make course corrections the smaller FAB 500 have been seen to hit moving targets. The larger FAB 3000 are just area effect weapons.

it’s honestly quite a balanced guidance for longer range weapons

the further away you deploy the weapon the lower the chances are that it’ll actually hit because the target may just move

who told you that?

I know, I was joking about him saying it isn’t guided. 500kg might be ok, but 3000kg, that has a radius of more than 10m and will just insta kill all the SPAA if used appropriately.

3000Kg bomb on a spawn would destroy every SPAAG/SAM in the spawn

well time to move to another position then

I’ve been using JDAMs effectively from 20km away with good results. You’ll be surprised how often SPAA setup in a location and won’t move for a long time.

Bonus points as it leaves no smokey trail, no laser to warn them, it’s also slow and difficult to spot.

Question is, why are you still in spawn with your SPAA?

You can move pretty freely, unless your team has no map control, but at that point you have lilely already lost regardless.

>the radar detecting it

Because most players the maps are so small they can snipe the spawn.
Yes smaller SAMs you can hide but trucks like Flak Rad you cant.

More often than not the SPAAG/SAM spawns in response to deal with an enemy aircraft. They dont ignore it and drive somewhere safe.

It often gets disregarded in lue of tracking the launching aircraft. As I’ve said it’s rare I get JDAMs intercepted compared to smokey missiles.

Shameless plug but here is an example;

Most somewhat capable people can look at the skye and drive at the same time, the minimap has multiple useful functions.

If you are sitting still in spawn you deserve to get killed by cas, as you make yourself predictable and an easy kill.

Dance of dragons - 19:38 UTC
Seek and destroy - 18:35 UTC
Alpha Strike - 17:22 UTC
Air superiority - 21:41 UTC
Kings of Battle - 19:46 UTC
Sons of Attila - 19:00 UTC
La Royale - 17:00 UTC
Sky Guardians - 17:30 UTC

So yeah it can happen at any time of the day

Yes and as we saw with Gunjobs video players dont always do that. The ability to hit even 2 SAMs with a single guided bomb is great.
