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

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

Electronics, tail fin fuel tank, laser marked target seeker, ALARM stub pylons. Probably loads more changes I can’t think of while busing home haha.

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.

and how does a photo prove any of that? we know how its being mounted because its being tested on the RWS which we have plenty of images of Javelins mounted on the RWS on other vics

Mytho is right, the TD is just the LEP demonstrator and with LEP and HAAIP being separate projects then, even if HAAIP did include the 1500hp upgrade, it should still have the 1200hp engine

Nothing to report. This update adds Mirage 2000 for China and France.

Is the Chinese Mirage not complete or does it actually have no ground loadouts?

No ground loadouts, it’s a purely air to air fighter.

and america famously had a stick in their butt about the whole thing

Hi, i want to ask about ESA radars scanning unqueued passes on targets, that is to be implemented this patch. Will that also affect ground ESA radars, or air only?

I mean, as a Canadian who mains Germany and also play Britain for the Canadian stuff, I think an LAV ADATS was the least worrying decision lmao.

Canadian Leopards over in the corner though, we don’t discuss that.

Yeah I know the LAV-III is a Canadian domestic design, I more or so meant the weapon system.

(Although it wouldn’t surprise me if some American Mains try to claim it if it happens to come to the game)

(So I should’ve reworded my original statement, Skink uses a Grizzly Hull (Canadian licensed Sherman), but the LAV ADATS uses an American weapon system. Both of which, the US wasn’t interested in buying but the UK was)

You sure the ADATS is an American system?

Day 1675: Gaijin please give me Mig 25 pd I would literally pay for it just give it to me
