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

Game Discussion General Discussion
9594

That source is erroneous, the elongated +5" motor (& Small GCS, needed to maintain the Center of Gravity) were only introduced with the Lot 12 (-120C-5) production run.

The difference between the AIM-120A and -120B is that the latter uses an Electronically Reprogrammable GCS section, so doesn’t need to undergo a deep maintenance cycle to update the Software that it runs. And as such there are later revisions of the -120A that are equivalent to the -120B at various stages.

The main change was the introduction of Clipped wings & fins for internal carriage on the F-22.

The only different they could add to the AIM-120B in game is improved ECM and better tracking rates due to later software upgrades but that’s about it.

9596

I would take better resistance to a single puff of chaff

I WANT IT TODAY!

when updata come?
most likely tommorow or tursday?

9599

The C-1 has clipped wings, giving it slightly less mobility, and I read that it also has a slighter more powerful engine.

9600

Both, neither, and all three.

9601

9602

improved comtrol may make it up.

9603

Equipment with such as AN/APG-73 RUG I radar, AN/AAS-38B pod, IR AIM-9L & AIM-9M-8, SARH AIM-7P Blk II, AIM-120 AMRAAM (AIM-120B/AIM-120C-4/AIM-120C-5), AGM-65E & AGM-65F Maverick and AGM-154A JSOW. My guess

USMC F/A-18C+ or F/A-18C late (AN/APG-73 RUG II or AN/APG-79(V)4 AESA) ?

9604

It’s impossible for the update to be today, as there still isn’t a technical post

Gaijin - releases 1 vehicle just to prove wrong

A man can dream.

9607

Real but in my humble opinion we should not buff the AIM-120 :3

9608

Instead, the PL-12 should be buffed to somewhere between the AIM-120C-1 and C-5 level, the AAM-4 should be buffed to C-5 level, and the Derby, R-Darter, and MICA EM should get less drag.

If it is as bad as it was on the dev server I won’t even be able to run it lmao I have a RTX 3060 ti which is better than (at least to my knowledge) a lot of peoples graphics cards.

9610

The 3060 ti isn’t top of the line by any means, however it’s still a very powerful GPU, so really it should be enough for anything released today. The snail always finds a way, however.

9611

I mean I think when stuff like the AIM-120C-1/3 come in the PL-12 should be updated same with the AAM-4 but atm the AIM-120, AAM-4, PL-12, and all those (with the exception of the R-Darter and imo R-77) should stay as they are rn and not receive buffs.

9612

The R-Darter and Derby are almost identical, with the former being slightly heavier, so if one is buffed, the other should also. As for the MICA, it’s objectively the best at close range, however it’s far from great at medium range. I’ve had trouble getting it to hit targets only 15km away in good conditions sometimes.

9613

I have a joke pitch for Gaijin; how about you open another dev server?
