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

I don’t know, F-15E being on the bomber line (the ONLY one I never researched) has traumatised me, hahah.

I thought it would come after F-15C, or be placed at the strike aircraft line, but nope; bomber line.

So now I question even where F-18 would go. Who knows, maybe they place it after F-15E, in which case, I better get going with that line already…

I guess they will postpone EFT to next year, while December will only bring F-18s. Although I would be happy to make a mistake)

but the F-15E is a Striker?

the strike Eagle is in the strike line, did you expect anything else?

will you be surprised when the F-35 comes to the strike line too?

It might be USMC F/A-18C plus

F/A-18A++, I think 🤔

The F/A-18A+ equipments like F/A-18C in 2002 ~ 2003 but retain General Electric F404-GE-400 engine, F/A-18A airframe and before integraded AIM-9X & JHMCS ?

I guess CF-18A IMP I equipments like F/A-18C/D 2000’s and F/A-18E Blk I

does anyone know why the t80u-e1 extra era plate was removed?

Depends if the Americans get their way like usual they could just get this and any other hornet they scream for /s (this is a joke, if i dont mention this 90% of people will still take this seriously…)

I would like to add, the Sd.Kfz 251/1 probably is the one from Enlisted:

There 's a model of it already in WT, but it 's a low-detail type from ~2014 - this new one might replace it

And it wouldn’t be the first time we got an NPC vehicle from Enlisted either, the C-47, Ju 52, and armoured train, among others, precede it.

Maybe it’ll be part of the next WWM season 's scenarios, there 's been plenty of code changes around World War Mode over the last few days. And, that gamemode already has convoy defence/attack missions this kind of thing could slot right into.

Single-seat to USN fighter line but two-seat at strike aircraft line

I’m not sure about this

Nope, it’s on the bomber line.

Up until Rank VII (F-105), that line consists exclusively of medium and large bombers; B-25s, B-26s, B-17s, B-29s, B-57s…

I thought the A-10 line made more sense; a line which, from Rank I to Rank VIII, actually involves strike aircraft and not bombers; such as P-61s, AD-2/4s, A-7s, A-4s, etc.

Now, I don’t have access to F-15E because I could not foresee multirole strike fighters would be ending up on the B-29 line mostly made up of large bombers. Skill issue on my end, I guess, hahah.

I that branch was reserved for tactical bombers and long range bombers in the future, and stuff like that.

Haha, the karma 😜

I hope you put emphasis on “was”

It wasn’t supposed to have it, was a modelling mistake. The extra piece is one of the ERA elements next to the gun, moved to make more room for the driver when driving from A to B and not in combat.

The F-15EX after F-15C MSIP II (if gajin change to AESA radar instead AN/APG-63(V)1 radar in the future)

I don’t know gajin could add new F-15C with AN/APG-63(V)2 or AN/APG-63(V)3 AESA radar. or might convert AN/APG-63(V)1 from F-15C MSIP II to AN/APG-63(V)2 or (V)2 AESA radar instead

Still waiting for this beauty.

Tbh F15E should’ve been added to Strike line-up, now they caused an havoc and tech tree placement will be even worse in the future, unless they switch some places like they did before.

I will die on this hill, the F-15E directly replaced the F-111 in service and took its role over completely therefore it goes after the F-111

quick Sergey, get the wrench we need to put the armor back on

I would not be surprised if the EFT doesn’t perform to what people think it does. Same with any modern aircraft (including my beloved F-2).

For example, IIRC the game has high drag in general and they have to fluff some numbers to match the technical data specs. But this has other side effects like aircraft not able to perform maneuvers they could do IRL since the values are all, for lack of a better term, made up.

If anything the less specs Gaijin has to work with the more freedom and flexibility, but it also means something could be overperforming or underperforming and Gaijin gets to choose.

I mean its a game and not a perfect simulation, i mean it is what it is. Some values properly work which in turn breaks other things. Drakens FM got nerfed and now cant pull Cobra’s at their normal speeds or they just dont match with other draken data ect ect.

Yea. Personally as long as it’s competitive, I don’t care too much if it matches IRL or not.

Oh then the nerfs didn’t make the competitive lmao, more so just executed them from doing the only thing they had going for them. Hurts even more so when you play the J35D at 10.3 and an aim 9L is coming towards you. Or the XS in a 12.0 match. Idk why the mig 21 Bis is the same BR as the XS or the Canard but im not a dev idk what the statistics say. Im fine with the XS at 11.0 but ill take the Mig 21 over both those deltas any day of the week.
