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

And an new cockpit and some other stuff… but all we realy want/need are GPS weapons…

[Smugspite]

no idea, they make it only laser guided, then dont give us full load outs, yet their are multiple aircraft in game with loadouts that weren’t standard in service

@Tivoru

After 2 teamkills, kick from the game. No real consequences? I don’t get why are you adding to the game something, that has almost nothing to do with what it actually represents.

I’m not sure what you mean. This is specifically why we are not adding F&F mode. Brimstones would cause many teamkills on our tank maps and the carrier can’t avoid that on many cases.

It’s being added with a fully historical mode it has that is balanced.

[mineLo]

The germans as afar as I know dont use the Brimstones. Aka the ASSTA 3.1 will be as good as the Tornado we have rn.

[Morvran]

So thats something then. Gives us a chance. Even just the ability to IOG at multiple targets in rapid succession would do me and not true FnF.

Also Litening III right? And thats Gen 3?

[Dontkev]

Who cares about Brimstone???

[llSolitairell]

I fully expect it to behave like a Hellfire, so it will say IOG on the startcard but the memory guidance will be non-existent

GR.4 will be a nothing burger

[摳1送DM53]

They just don’t want GR4 to be better than SM3. BTW Su34 also have Kh38

Come by! The thread includes a poll for you to vote and show your concerns.

LOAL-capable munitions should be modelled as basic FNF instead of SAL

poll Gaijin has recently stated that LOAL-capable weapons will have this feature removed and implemented as SAL munitions instead. While I agree that LOAL is too strong and unfit for the game, I believe limiting them to SAL is not the correct course of action. Instead, I believe these should be implemented as basic fire-and-forget munitions, without their LOAL capabilities. That way, they would remain balanced while still bringing increased capabilities to the table. Otherwise, these “new” mun…

LJDAM and JDAM.

[mineLo]

good luck with Paveways, see alot of german Tornados at top tier

[someweirdname]

well whatdo you care about then?

it will be no improvement of the CAS

[Smugspite]

its funny that you have ignored the fact we are asking for a normal FnF mode not the LOAL mode and if you think 9 brimstones that will take over a minute from their maximum range to reach the battlefield are op cant wait till the Su34 gets 6 far better missiles which are far far far faster

Not true.

Panavia Tornado IDS SLE - Forever Young

poll [Tornado IDS SLE 1] The Panavia Tornado is a multi-role combat aircraft that emerged from a collaborative effort among three European nations: the United Kingdom, West Germany, and Italy. To accomplish this, in 1969 a consortium known as Panavia Aircraft GmbH was formed to oversee the Tornado’s development. The Tornado was designed as a variable-sweep wing aircraft, giving it the capability to operate in various roles, including air superiority, ground attack, and electronic warfare. The …

[Saberzen]

Okay so regarding speed, how fast are brimstones in comparison to mavericks or hellfires? Their speed will be the only saving grace and benefit now

[141_allen]

Not guaranteed though. 1

[Smin1080p_WT]

@petwe_romcak

@Smin1080p_WT So Brimstone’s getting only the Mode 1 guidance?

That’s correct yes. It’s explained in the dev blog why the other two modes would not work in game. We already have weapon systems in game locked to a single mode.

[ctBOOMHOOK52]

I care about it, it will probably come out today

[Macekeeks]

Dont worry AS34s will surely do something some day

[Smin1080p_WT]

@Smugspite

nah but but ahistorical making them pretty much IR guided

This is incorrect. It’s a fully historical mode the weapon has. We already have weapons in game locked to singular modes.
