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

Also no update tomorrow sadge

but it should be more reliable even in-game

i heard 120B has a better radar so it should track better

No, it shouldn’t. The only difference between the A and B would have no effect in game. They are effectively identical.

120B has a slightly better off-bore sight seeker head (among other upgrades not applicable to WT) which should be modeled in-game but isn’t afaik

I was sure the B did get improved seeking?

Which may just be the improved boresight tbf

Also just curious does anyone know if any Gripen Cs have mounted Dual ARH pylons? (Particularly AMRAAM) just out of pure curiosity I know the Gripen is small but it could be theoretically possible just hard to find proof

I did find this with Meteor (I know its an E) but could it be reverse fitted to the C AND fitted on multiple pylons?

Seems the AMRAAM is just too large but there are Dual Meteor pylons in 2 variants side by side and one to the side and one higher up (in the photo) so if anyone knows can multiple be used at once?

Unlikely

Pretty sure whatever improvements arent realized. The B versions are also mounted on British aircrafts exclusively, both of them having terrible FM. Hence I am sure they dont matter.

Ok after looking through my book China’s 5th line can totally be filled by domestic stuff.
It’s crazy how we haven’t Type 79, 80, 85, 88 and even the 90s

We do have that.

True but you get what I mean

As I’ve said, don’t hold much hope. Gaijin is still rather unwilling to fix issues with existing vehicles. Anything that would be added will hardly be of value, only good for screenshots in the hangar.

Thing is the A is already too late. I think the 18C is one of the hype planes for december. Both the 18A and A+ will already be pretty meh at top tier.

Been 4 days after the close of the last dev already, is this mostly cosmetic update still broken?

Just watch, O-I would be next anniversary event.

I think Smin already said there is not enough data for the O-I to be implemented.

There isnt enough Japanese heavy tanks to be on its own line in tech tree anyway, there are only 2 HT optimistically number that Japanese developed.

it’s more like different things, making new things and fix existing things. Gaijin easily accept what they collect when making a vehicle, and a little hard to implement issues when in dev server, very hard to implement in live server.
sadly, it’s hard for gaijin to collect information about Chinese vehicles, so it will always be something wrong in Chinese vehicles. And no Chinese tech mod makes it harder to fix things

Hopefully the update drops on Tuesday but Thursday wouldn’t surprise me either.

Regardless i am just happy to have the OSA to get for 4 seperate nations and play with
