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

Funny how the best game mode in War Thunder is the one receiving the least attention by devs. Imagine if it were actually getting some real development from a larger team.

So in terms of WT basically nothing different thanks for clearing that up.

Will you give an example of HARM defeating something like 2S6? Or will you continue throwing empty words?

LJDAM…

Which its flight characteristics won’t make it much different to the Paveways

Air-to-air Missiles

AIM-9L/I-1 Sidewinder
AIM-2000 IRIS-T will not be added yet, thus I suggested delaying it
AIM-120 AMRAAM (via MFRL) not true/ show proof
Guided Munitions

GBU-54 LJDAM
GBU-24 Paveway III
GBU-16 Paveway II
both already on ASSTA 1
AS.34 Kormoran II
AGM-88 HARM
can Both be added to ASSTA 1
ARMIGER (Anti Radiation Missile with Intelligent Guidance & Extended Range)
HOPE glide bomb
HOSBO glide bomb
LaGS (Laser Guided Sidewinder)
these are industrial Prototypes, none in service
Taurus KEPD 350 I suggested the delay because this weapon type won’t be added to the game yet
Dumb Munitions

500 lb Mk 82
1000 lb Mk 83
already on ASSTA 1
BL755
Mehrzweckwaffe 1 (MW-1)
weapon type not in game and can be added to ASSTA 1
Ammunition

27 mm DM83 PELE (no tracer)
27 mm DM93 PELE (tracer)

Im also quite intrigued by this statement

literally every time he answers me he adds something new that nobody has ever heard of

You are simply a layman if you do not understand the difference between a bomb that is located only by a laser (and can only be seen from 3 km away) and a bomb that initially flies to the specified coordinates and can be corrected by a laser.

The hamster seems sleepy, War Thunder servers is slow

cool, cool

which Squadron uses it?

Ah okay so it won’t be functionally different to the Paveway III and IV thanks for the correction

Tested with WTD61

got an, sources for that?

wouldn’t that require a new radar too?

unless I suppose it’s like Buddy lasing, In that case we may just add Paveways to every aircraft capable of carrying MK8X bombs

You can literally see their tail markings.

no

The Paveway IV has much greater accuracy than the Paveway III and can be used as a simple JDAM. In the game, LJDAM = Paveway IV, that will be enough for me.

And “your majesty” can continue to talk about his heroic 7 frags on the F-14B.

Is its radar even capable of firing ARHs? It would 100% need a new radar for Sparrows though

Rent free eh? How do you even know thats with GBUs?
