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

Sadly - theyre only GNSS
Gaijin doesnt give GBU-53 with IR+ARH seeker(easily cut-offs to just IR, without “clownie balance”)

just because it had the ability doesnt mean it should

still have gbu-15

yea working patriots are defo gonna be sim only, i dont see any other way of them being in game

VAK and VJ for 9.3 would be quite nice

It can’t, because to be out of range of Pantsyr, you will need to be out of 20 kilometers, and as we have flying brick and not nimble fighter, adding additional kilometer for maneuver, and that with each second with our slow missile flying towards the target we will pass kilometer after kilometer, we will get into problem, model drawing problem, and also a problem that we just won’t be able to track this target, so we have to use our hands to correct our sight to get Pantsyr killed.

So no, you’re wrong, these are two different situations. KH-38 does have much higher speed, KH-38 doesn’t have enemy that makes its host fly dozen kilometers away (And this makes you have less kills, less probability of hit and etc), no, it is not the same

Good thing, but theres only 4 of them.
And with last patch all bombs are vulnerable to SAMs(9YA56 at least)

(can’t, except maybe with Kh-38)

WT devs watched JP

As a sim main I certainly hope so! Would add so much more depth and realism to the game mode.

They can give it IR only, but they will have to limit its amount, because in full load, you will just destroy entire teams, and will have another rack of these ready to do it again

With less than 100kg of entire warhead… it might be useless against tanks
But yes, against one-button pantsir players that will work

Su-34 has 6 Kh-38

6 long range missiles is much better than 4 GBUs though due to the range.

Speed also matters

Spoiler

Btw KH-38 is very dangerous for all helicopters and strong against aircraft if not expected

Yes please, something German worth going back to the German tree for.

One idea i have that’d really make ARB a cooker would be placing those on left and right flanks to make attackers more useful and allow for more strategic paths to be opened up as the match progresses

Tho, I still think that there will be massive cope about Su-34, because of absence of thermals

Depends on what weapon they will give - if 38MT - it will have thermals
But i dont think that it ever carried 38 MT , only ML, as i see

So far, from the perspective of a ground player, the Su-34 seems to be the only upgrade for it’s nation so far of the new cas planes.

The Gr.4 still seems worse overall than the SAAF 39C and so far the F-15E seems more of a sidegrade to the F-16C. Can’t speak about the 2000D RMV that was on the leak list of course.

It did carried it, but I don’t know about quality of its thermals, can someone show it?
