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

Indeed. A 2000lb mass doesn’t silently land on the top of a tank, with only 10s of millimeters of roof armor, and THEN explode!

Joking aside, bombs really should be modeled to penetrate the tanks they land on instead of just sitting there. They should penetrate the tank and take out components and crew, then sit inside the tank until the fuse goes off. This might be challenging to model, however.

pre production model has the Javelin and 12.7mm mounted

huh how is France losing out on a mirage?

It’s mainly because the bomb’s ancient code, don’t know why gaijin don’t fix it

where is the Javelin

not “losing out”, losing exclusivity since it’s going to Chinese TT

Britain and France when Gaijin decide to add the 40mm CTAS equiped IFVs will have some if not the best light vehicles in the game.

I know the RWS can mount the javelin, i said that earlier. my point is we’ll need a photo of the Javelin mounted on Ajax itself for Gaijin to consider adding it

edit: it was fitted to a boxer at DVD2024

hey oh mighty Gunjob, is it possible you may be able to make a case to the Snail for IR guided PGMs (which have already been passed months ago). It’s odd that the same weapon found all the way down at 11.3 is being used as far up as 12.7-12.3

It’d be a neat buff for both the GR4 and Mirage 2000s without being anything crazy, just helping the tracking/range which I feel is a reasonable ask when they fight far better AA than said GR1.

we have been told its being tested on the Ajax if a statement is enough to get the 1500hp engine removed then im sure a statement should be enough

when did the TD ever have the 1500hp upgrade?

The TD should be 1217 as it never had the better engine any way

we had it in game because earlier info had said it had a 1500hp engine then the MOD said it would retain the same 1200hp engine in the production model, so if thats enough to get a nerf should be enough to get a buff

not quite the same. with an Engine it’s easy to just use a simple 1 off statement of “it is or is not this way” with an entire weapon system it’s harder because you need to know

  • how it works
  • how much ammo it holds
  • how it’s being integrated

etc etc
it’s easier to remove based off a statement, than to add based off a statement. Removing is easy, adding is hard.

this is just generally speaking, unrelated to the Ajax specifically.
