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

I have, heck i have in the past few weeks. When I mentioned about the UK leak for the GR4, A German main told me that Britain shouldnt get it because we have the Gripen and so dont need a new top tier aircraft.

Also the fact we only just getting the Scimitar, when it could have come anytime in the past few years, says a lot. Getting the few light tnaks we have over the past year has been an uphill battle

@soviet_MoonMan arises from his slumber!

It turns out that helicopter 10.0 replaces the most advanced GBR helicopter?

Since both Grom E1 and E2 were datamined, it’s safe to assume we’re getting both. E1 has the normal rocket motor, and E2 replaced the rocket motor with an additional explosive pack

They should only be satellite guided, so only good against stationary targets. Well have to see if it gets the Kh-38’s but I’m assuming it will

Wildcat with 20x Martlet missiles which can be used both to shoot down aircraft and tanks at a range of about 8km iirc, with a decent defensive kit if im not mistaken. Then yes to be honest. Id palce the Wildcat with or above the AH-64D

The absence of Dunkerque makes me think it wasn’t ready either. Either they’re pretty early and the devs are crunching hard, or it simply isn’t the priority in this patch.

Both have volumetric explosive enhancement, so E2 will weigh 500kg in explosive mass and hit like a 1000kg bomb.

And nothing for Sweden or Italy. At least Germany gets a vehicle this update

I’m kinda hoping they add terminal guidance modes one day.

I know what it is. I don’t understand how the presence of an intermediate helicopter should affect when it is added to the game

This is a teaser trailer, hold your horses

Seeing as the leaklist has been really accurate so far, they’ll likely get the OSA.

And for Sweden, while I hate Sweden top tier ground, they can get some mid tier stuff.

Because instead of them modeling the Hind, they could have modeled the Wildcat and if we ask for the Wildcat or AH-64E for sooner rather than later, we will be told that we just got the hind and are being selfish. Happens all the time

I hope they get vehicles, but the leak-list says no and i would make sense for gaijin to ignore them for unique vehicles considering neither have had a unique plane for 2 updates, and no uniqe tanks for 1.

Its a teaser…wont have all vehicles…tomorow will be live stream. And dont forget. This is one of the smaller updates so there wont be that many vehicles

Leak-list says no additions for Sweden (again) and i am inclined to believe it

As long as they don’t get more top tier ground additions for a while, I’d be fine with them at least getting something.

instead of modeling SuperHund, Wildcat, super Lynx and other useful helicopters, they modeled 2 useless 9.0 helicopters, what’s next? Thank you for receiving the first of the much needed intermediate helicopters of the branch, which is smaller than the Swedish heli TT (lol)

I just want a plane to grind :sob:
