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

I’ve recently had fun with my MFG tornado by flying it blank, only cannons with stealth belts as a type of cannon fighter

As to be expected. Looked to be way overperforming on Dev lol.

I’m now just praying with fingers crossed the Snail is kind enough to give it some, nay, any domestic armament before the update goes live.

hhhh, GR4 got the PGM when it was a GR1 that they were fit test on.

Like not even fired. Or flown with. But that was enough for the developers.

Even more proof of bias against German air. Rules for thee but not for me and all that.

Thats a good one. The EEGS gives you ONE chance to get a good hit. Atleast in sim because the raw power make it quite easy to pounce onto people but then when you need to make a second turn…oof.

yea a second turn is only viable if your opponent isn’t turning immediatly and you put wingsweep to 0%

oh and with a huge pile of luck

Half the time I try to hunt A-10’s with it and they just sidewinder me since I can’t even look back properly to see if there is a missile fired. But the challenge is half the fun!

META is for triehards

Yeah I personally really hope that they give the 15I some standoff weapons (that hopefully don’t block the A2A missiles on the wing pylons) and give the 15E the better engines.

I have both the F-111F and F-16D unlocked so I can easily get both, but it’s kind of sad that both the 15I and 15E are just gimped in different ways.

I was spading the Viggen past 2 days in ASB and that display is out of sight 90 % time of the time you play while also being hidden behind the stick… Could you check the JA37D for me pls if there are any changes? I bought it yesterday evening, gonna start spading it today. Its cockpit has a different layout than the AJ37.

Tornado GR.1 received them because we know it was a Tornado GR.1 that they were fitted too. There is evidence of this.

We also know what’s required to use the PGM.

The same is not true for Tornado IDS and AMRAAM / Skyflash. No evidence is present in this image that this Tornado was modified to fire and guide AMRAAM and Skyflash.

It also has not been proven again that this is SLE or even ASSTA 3.1. It appears to be more a pylon test by WTD-61 on a non standard test Tornado.

So why can’t the other Tornados get PGM? You’ll give it to the GR4, which didn’t use them, but not the ASSTA1 or 1995? I guess they just don’t have what’s required?

PGM was tested on Tornado GR.1. GR.4 is an upgraded GR.1.

IDS and GR variants differ and are not 1:1.

Is that real or you just made it up? It being in the TT, obviously, it’s a real plane in real life.

Yep. Its real.

what weapons it has?

that’s hilarious, but at least they’re not making unique stuff premium, especially for german jets

is the loadouts air to air only right?
