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

Britain got a fairly weak but usable 9.7 SPAA recently. OSA is just a C&P of an SPAA that 3 other nations are getting. It wasnt originally planned to ocme to us but they just decided “bugger it, we can just give it to them as well, its identical”

When it comes to warthunder updates I’m greedy af

I thought the Stormer AD was 10.0?

Also, it does sound like the OSA was planned, they just managed to move up those planes.

Yeah, I think you are right, but probably should be 9.7 I think. Anyway, when I get it, i’ll run it alongside the HVM at 10.7 anyway, so doesnt really make a huge difference

Seeing as I have more tech trees up to top tier ground than you, I don’t really have a “own tree”.

How does a TGP make it more overpowered

Brits also got 1 last update , didn’t stop them from getting one this update

“balance”. Same reason why they want (or wanted, we’ll have to wait and see) the F-15E to be limited to the -220 engines, why they seem allergic to adding domestic standoff weapons to the F-15I and why they did what they did to brimstones.

It’s a pity you didn’t show how to play on Torando GR.1 or Tornado ASSTA1

I wonder since ground modes are being added the radars, if the EJ Kai can finally get its Air to Surface mode and maybe jank it to allow ASMs to fire at ground targets

They are? Finally acknowledging the Tornados are meant to have something in their nose cones would help save the GR4 intro from being a tad underwhelming

The F15E and the Su-34 can lock onto ground targets the new Mi-8 as well (watching people fire R77s and AIM-120s at tanks is very funny)

Hmm… Would be about time. Torando IDS and Gripen getting A2G and Sea Harriers getting A2N radar modes would be awesome

I really wanted to just screw around with the GMTI but of course non of the targets in my test drives were moving.

Hey @Smin1080p_WT, I apologize for the ping, but I’m curious, and IDK whether I’ve missed something.

The F-117A devblog mentions that it will be able to carry the GBU-27/B Paveway III laser-guided bomb. However, this loadout is not on the devserver except for a datamined unused loadout. Is the GBU-27/B still coming for the F-117A (and it’s just unfinished or something), or did something change?

This is a bunker busting bomb, no? I imagine it would be modeled like the AP bombs we have in game, but I sadly can’t see the use case for them in the current meta. We have no hardened targets (like bunkers) to destroy in Air RB, only some sheds :-/

Redesigned RWR Tornado F.3
Now it works in two windows.
The first window is a regular round indicator. It displays azimuths to the threat as lines. The closer the line to the center, the closer the threat.
The second window is targets by threat level. It displays the numerical azimuth to the target (to the right from 0 to 180, to the left the same, but with a minus sign), the name of the threat and a letter, the meaning of which I do not know. As I understand it, the closer the threat, the higher it is in the list
IMHO, at the moment this is the best RWR, change my mind
