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


Just for a laugh. The reaction under one… mmm… it would be easier to describe it as a very-very red… YouTube channel. The reaction to the Osa. Wasp should be read as “Osa”. Half of the comments are indignation with a slightly nationalistic slant, about the soviet Indian equipment in the British tech tree but at the moment with the GERMAN Typhoon, which will be “given” to Britain and Italy… Here I had to look for my jaw under the table for a long time…

I dont think we’re into FOX3 premiums yet

Why does he say Spain and then have Italy in brackets

Why would they give Italy a Spanish Eurofighter, when Italy is an Eurofighter operator itself? xD

I love also how Italy also never used it natively and thus needs Spainish ones for some reason

I expected to see a recce Viggen or so as a premium rank VII because the Finnish Draken is not really a good premium. It should have been added to the tree

But nvm a Viggen, rank VIII is an immediate buy when discounted

let’s see here, reads like a German main, somehow doesn’t even know how to use Wikipedia.

complains about “C&P” which has been in the game since day one(as far as I found).

Just funny how he claimed Italy will get the Spanish one even though they got their own.

I don’t know about other segments of the Internet, but in the ru-segment there are a lot of them. Perhaps even the overwhelming majority.

But even on Wikipedia the article begins in BAE EAP

Like I said, they don’t even know how to use Wikipedia.

I just realised Germany is probably getting Bismarck next update…

Smin said: “within the November and December updates, all nations will have got a new Rank VI ship”.

U.S got Tennessee
Fr*nce got Dunkerque
U.K got Repulse
Japan got Amagi
Russia got Izmail
Italy got Francesco Caracciolo…

Well, good thing I grinded out Germany, hahahah.

Yeah… I hope Britain gets more (next update) because Repulse is only a 6.7 and a clear downgrade over Renown, Hood and Barham for top tier. Only good for those that dont have either event ship

more possibility of getting mackensen before Scharnhorst as in case of Russian Izmail(in front of Kronshtadt), Francesco Caracciolo(in front of Cavour) and UK Repulse(in front of Hood)

There are also personal wish that Gaijin do not break balance with early Bismarck release. It should be with Iowa and Yamato, considering War Thunder Naval’s environment which turtleback and high pen small caliber gun is better.

Bismarck and Arkhangelsk for December update please

Calling it now: bunch of ARH premiums this December, kind of like the top tier premiums for ground last year. I know it’s not something a lot of y’all will want (wallet warriors with ARH), but knowing gaijin it’s something they’re going to seek sooner or later. We’re already pretty much there with the IRIAF F-14A and JF-17… it’s bound to happen sooner or later.

With that being said, here’s my predictions for top tier aviation premiums with ARH missiles:

USA will have a new ARH premium or Aim-120s added to the F-20A
Germany will have some subtree premium of sorts (maybe even the trialed F-20A for Germany)


USSR will get the MiG-23-98 (which didn’t exist but I’m willing to bet they get it anyway, or maybe the MiG-21-93 instead)

Great Britain will have the R-77 added to the MiG-21 Bison present ingame. Would be surprised if not.

Japan F-4EJ Kai ADTW (XAAM-4), Or a subtree ARH carrier of sorts maybe?

China honestly not sure, maybe a Taiwanese F-16? A JF-17 was my original guess…
860x394
Italy (watch them add a premium F-16 with Aim-120s instead of correcting to current one, or maybe an Hungarian ARH Gripen lmao)
IMG_5969
France modernized Mirage F-1 possibly, or some foreign modernized French aircraft of sorts

Sweden seems the “Ja-37Di” is what’s coming

Israel either a production IAI Lavi with Derby’s, or an aircraft modernized by Israel, like the Kfir 2000, Brazilian F-5 or Chilean F-5, or Ecuador/Columbia Kfir C.10.

Definitely, hahah.

Repulse is basically Renown, but with 50mm thick turtleback instead of 101mm one and worse anti-air suite.

I thought they would be getting a WW2 QE, but it seems like I was wrong.

The way I see it, it’s just another obstacle to get to Hood.

Yep, They really like screwing over Britain / making sure Britain doesnt get good ships

Must be F-14A late which is basically F-14B with TF-30.
