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

if f35 would drop tmrw it wouldnt even break the game because gaijin wasnt even capable of correctly simulating Fox 3 and much less actual stealth, so i wouldnt expect an actual big deal unless they buff ARHs and fix stealth

I’m sorry are you arguing pro BR compression?

yes, but the current jets would get their later models of ARHs and IRs, im not gonna debate whats good and whats bad, but believe me knowing gaijin they wouldnt care much

im not arguing anything, i just added my opinion on how gaijin will probably proceed

that too, but US is not the only operator of f35s, the italians will dominate top tier they already dominate ground just because the hungary’s 2a7 that every italian main spawns first

new conspiracy theory

Sufa can also carry 4 Spice 2000 :)

i always wondered what those thick side things are, it looks like a dog on steroids

are they fuel tanks like how F15C has?

yes, those are also Conformal Fuel Tanks

AN/APG-68(V)9 radar like USAF F-16CM (Block 50), F-16AM Block 15 eMLU (RTAF) and F-16C/D Plus (Block 50/52)

Pratt and Whitney F100-PW-229 engine from F-16C/D Block 52

F-16I late equip Litening pod probably newer Litening III, 5th gen IR missile, SPICE guided munitions 4 variants and cruise missile Rampage

The F-15I plus, upgraded F-15I Ra’am to F-15IA standard but not changed engine

F-16D Block 30 Barak equipment like F-16C Block 30 but armed Python 5 like F-16I Sufa late and carried Litening III targeting pod

F-16C Block 30 Barak never equipped target designator pod

When is the next air event? I’m hoping soon because I got like a good month here where I don’t have any later shifts and I neeeeeeeeed more grind

Sufa yes but I’m not sure about F-16Ds

but it would be so cancer Eyeroll Emoji GIFs | Tenor

Any news on whether the JA37 HUD will get the radar lock indicator? I thought I saw something earlier but I can’t scroll through 10,000 replies to find it again…

Report got accepted thats all I can say for now

Just 18 months to 2 years+ for that to be fixed then

thanks I appreciate it

Id like to see the popeye over SPICE just because they are 100% standoff capable. I do believe that SPICE would be the choice for most players, but they are glide bombs and hence may struggle when the launch lacks energy to propel it forward.

Without special weapons like python 4s sufas wouldnt be that special, notably because you know, internal CFTs that cannot be removed. The game is at a stage where the missiles matter more than the radar that guides it in.

? CFTs are removable and Sufa runs on PW229 engine. Same one as used in F-15I

So in devblog terms we are on the way to have them in 7 devblog business days lol.
