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

Definitely. And, atleast for starters, it wouldn’t have to be super complicated. Kinda like how air and ground Br’s are split a further split happens for guided/non guided A2G munitions but also for stuff like ARH missiles vs SARH/IR missiles. Perhaps too for IRCCM and regular IR missiles.

So, taking a look through the DEV the

OSA is cool ( I would have preferred tracked rapier for the british though)
Su-34 and F-15E are cool.
Wobbly Goblin is cool.
and the new air test drive is great.

overall its about 3.6 out of 15000 roentgen.

Iowa and Yamato are superior to Bismarck by a wide wide margin.

The Bismarck class is very overblown in popular media, many people think it was some kind of super battleship just because it got lucky once in it’s engagement with HMS Hood. It is an inefficient design that is very large in size/displacement for comparatively little capability.

It is more comparable with North Carolina class IMO, I don’t know enough about Japanese navy to name a counterpart but it’s certainly not Yamato :)

There are other options.

Ersatz Mackensen and Ersatz Yorck which are equivalent to Hood but with worse armour (Yorck has same calibre guns as Bayern and the same reload).

The other option is Gneisenau… Oh no… Scharnhorst-class. Well maybe not, because Gneisenau lacked power-assisted ramming for much of the autoloader on the 38cm. Navyweps predicts a 70 second reload for her… So let Germany have Gneisenau but you get to shoot 1 salvo per minute.

This is not what I want to be seeing when I check this thread first thing in the morning >:(

It appears the mentioning of the forbidden vehicle has angered Smin…

I must flee

Traumatized for the rest of the day

Dang hippies and their unarmed aircraft.
Where muh 737

Not in War Thunder. Inefficient doesn’t matter anything in the game.

Combat range is much closer than what USN and IJN anticipated(and similar to what Royal Navy and Kriegsmarine anticipated) when designing battleships. Bismarck’s gun will be enough to penetrate Iowa’s main armour and blow out magazine just below the waterline at 10 km. Yamato would be better, but definitely not impenetratable.

I wonder if Gaijin covers Smin’s bills for his EAPTSD.

I mean technically, this is a 737 )):

And it has more armaments than the EAP ever had.

EAP confirmed?!!/???!11!

But jokes aside, civilian aircraft with weapons…AC-208 when? (I flew the normal version irl and would love to fly it in WT with some pew pew)

A bayonet would be more armament than the EAP ever had.

F-35 wouldnt be 11.3. It has no radar and carries only 2 A2A missiles

JA37 early is more or less what AJS37 offers in the techtree

The British 12.0 Mini Typhoon the BAe EAP : r/Warthunder

Mmmm… its British, so naturally it carries a great many pointy edged objects…

Anyway, another thread blessed bois, back to relevant topics.

@Smin1080p_WT ive noticed that the controllable hangar guy can retain a lot of momentum when sprinting and then jumping constantly.
