Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

well so much for adding new top tier boats to other nations all 3 of them are 6.7 boats

Quick question for those who have been on the updated dev server, does the F-117 have its GBU-27s yet, or are they still missing?

Those last two, I’m not sure what they’re for. There are smoke-rocket pods unused for the AMX Ghibli, but only one kind, so I don’t know what the second different icon for an alternate of the same kind of weapon will be used w/.

There is a version of S-8, called S-8CM – with a target-indicating (smoke-forming) warhead

What about Dunkerque. Both of these ships IRL had poor reloads?

Verba missiles in-bound for the new Mi-8, will we be getting them on some of the other carriers, such as Mi-28NM and Ka-52?

I have never heard of Verba before. How does it compare to what we already have?

So the AV-8S could very well be a premium? huh guess it’s not too suprising, but that takes away more and more vehicles from a potential sub tree line

seen that it is an “early” version we could still see it on the tt

If you’re playing ground, get the KVT since CAS isn’t something you can play every game

good point, I missed the early part on it’s stat card.

I guess the late version will be tt then with likely AIM-9L that showed up on the early in the files a few days ago.

Probably p4 as i dont think that thailand used aim 9L

Somewhat off-topic, but I just unlocked Namer 30 and this IFV is unironically the best SPAA in the Israel tree. Atleast spikes can actually lock and hit helicopters lmao.

What a sad state of affairs indeed.

They did use AIM-9P variants, but also AIM-9L

I just hope the missiles for the early one are changed to AIM-9P since Thailand never had AIM-9G

Ok. Thanks for the advice

I would be nice if they also give it the dual aim 9 pylon.
