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

Wasn’t there a real F/A-18 painted into a Swedish camo ?

I think that ones fake but I could be wrong, I want the Japanese tested F14 or F/A-18

Spoiler

Kinda /s but maybe? :p

Swedish apparently did test and painted an F/A-18 up in the 1980s

Fair enough GIB ITS FAIR GROUNDS

I want chaos

You give me some others ideas if you talk about tested stuff :p

Are there any pictures? I am curious.

As much as it aches burns and hurts my American bones to admit this I KIND OF like the F-15 and F/A-18 in French roundels

I hope new devblog it’s Su-34M if new armament with Kh-36 Grom-E1 & Kh-36 Grom-E2 and R-77-1. and Saturn AL-41F1S engine

And with this blue skin yep looks cool ^^

Also it’s not F-18 but YF-17/18

Ahh okay I thought it looked strange but couldnt put my finger on it

After I finished reading all the arguments (well I spent an hour just read from 8000-latest), the conclusion I found was that Smin refused to answer (well he avoided all questions) related to KH38 and Brimstone (Many people have good explanation such as @AgentZombie_6021 explained it so well). Because we know Brimstone irl is much more OP, but with the nerf only given laser guidance I think it’s too much. At least the nerf given is more to the shooting radius (or better option that not hurts UK player). Because so far as my experience playing using a tank that has LWS, I really benefitted when there is a laser warning and immediately use smoke. While FnF has no warning at all which is Big L for UK players here.

Besides that I think it’s time for Gaijin to add rewards for players who successfully intercept missiles and bombs. And add a capable SPAA to carry out the task of intercepting small targets like this. Because using missiles to intercept small targets is too wasteful and inefficient. For comparison, most SPAA in toptier can only carry 8 missiles (10 missiles for FlarakRad) and cannot intercept more than 1 target (I didn’t include Pantsir because this SPAA is already too OP and have all capability short and medium range in the game rn). We know CAS in warthunder carries more than 2 AGM/guided bombs and 8-10 missiles are not enough to intercept missiles and aircraft at the same time. CAS can launch more than 1 missile/bomb at same time, this situation makes many countries very vulnerable especially nations that don’t have SPAA that can intercept multiple targets (So far only Pantsir can, I don’t want to call it unfair but that’s the fact).

And just increase SPAA rewards in general too, it’s needed.

If so, I’m going to be bold and say we’re getting an Su-30SM or SM2 in the December patch as our “Naval” fighter.

Just like Su-25BM and the 39 and MiG-29SMT all paved the way for different things that came with the Su-27 in the December patch, so to is the Su-34 paving the way for the Su-30SM/SM2.

Well, with Norway and Denmark in the Swedish TT that could just be a skin to either of those if they are added

at what time does the dev server open
or basically when

Usually an hour after Dev Streams maybe sooner but always after dev streams

towmorrow after the dev stream

Anyone know the time of the stream yet lmao.

Isn’t that similar to Rafale M/Eurofighter (even if no navy variant for the EFT) ?

If EFT is delayed to 2025, i guess Rafale too, but why not Su-30s ?

Usually around 14:00 UTC
