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

I wouldn´t say updating. More like bringing back the 2018 feel lmao. Which is not a bad thing. I liked WT of 2018 and the old font and all hit neuron activation kinda different. But thats just me probably.

Anyway kinda surprised we didn´t have announcement tonight. I was expecting update tomorrow.

Due to it being the RN’s very last battleship, it will likely be added at a similar time to other late battleships like Iowa. So not very soon, at the current pace of Naval additions.

i think its the actual F-15 Strike Eagle HUD this is maybe the one that it should have.

Gives me 2013 Nostalgia seeing that old, gold RP / SL popup. Love it.

Even with it’s relatively lesser armament? I only asked because it seemed like it wouldn’t be too far from Hood / Renown kinda firepower.

Ok someone needs a huge slap in the face

If I recall, its protection is improved from those designs. And Gaijin clearly takes speed and AA armament into account for BR as well.

I’m in agreement that in most of the ways that likely matter, it’s not that much stronger than what’s already in game. But I don’t expect it too soon, unless Naval is about to take a huge leap forward.

i have also seen claims that they use the one on the sea harrier or the “skyguardian 2000” but the info about the rwr upgrade is kinda small and i can’t for sure as they are visually identical, but for this br this should be more than enough

It is an AV-8S (early) though, it’s limited to 9Gs (which will likely get changed to 9Ps I guess).

AV-8S (late) with 9Ls will likely be TT at a higher BR.

Hopefully next update the actual subtree shows up instead of another non-tech tree vehicle

both technically can, as the double rail was already in service with spain

In which Tech tree could the F/A-18 come?

The US, Germany (Swiss), UK (Canadian), China/Japan (Malaysia), and Italy (Spanish), Sweden (Finnish)
