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

Patriot is an intersting question.

Is that new top tier SPAA? Just an AI thing? SEAD? Or just a teaser thing but wont appear in game?

Also new RWR?

Lets see in tomorrow dev stream

I think it will be a AI thing…maybe a new airfield AA for top tier

Airfield defense in top tier would be my guess

the model in the trailer is a complete copy of the Renown. Everything matches right down to the weathering.

Hu? Whenever I’ve tried to use the ADATS, nothing enters range and whenever they do, they evade in seconds. Im usually taken out by a KH-38 before I even fire a missile though, so just gave up and stuck with the Stormer which at least has smokes

Would make sense, though hoping for maybe a SIM objective as well

I think the F117 was the iconic end of line non mbt that was shown in the leaks. Maybe instead of being a squadron/event its gonna be strike or something

So in what he said ADATS is worse than Imp, that is worse than XM

As long as I’m running Kh-29T/TD’s or Kh-38’s, definitely. I also don’t just hangout at standoff range, so popping up over a ridge if I really know where they are is prime for large rockets, bombs, or even Vikhrs.

Its not even going to be at the end of the line, probably before the F-111A

The adats has 10km range, either this is an insane exaggeration or you lack skill

Oh right, yeah, got those the wrong way round.

Still comment valid, ADATS is best compared to 10.0 SAMs and not 11.7 SAMs

10km range that work only against flying straight aircraft, helicopter and UAV drone. more like 5km for maneuvering aircraft so you know how it is.

I would say that I have been decently successful with the ADATS, but it still really isn’t good at all. The missiles are way too easy to counter, the lack of additional smokes makes you way too vulnerable against CAS (especially Helis with FnF missiles) and the lack of a machine gun means you can’t defend yourself against tanks in way too many scenarios.

10km range is in a straight line, the moment the missile starts to turn effective range drops to maybe 7km. After that the missile is out of energy.

I’ve used the adats before and i only find it stuggles with manouevering aircraft above 6km

10km of range if your target flies in a straight line lol

The scene in the trailer is most definitely a reference to HMS Repulse. They probably don’t have the model ready. Still, it’s not a great ship. Britain needs a proper 7.0 battleship like Warspite or a Revenge class.
