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

they seem to still just explode on contact.
if they do this though, thats gonna be a pretty big upgrade to mbt side armor. especially the ones with era and such

Yes, they are. Is there any other nation in the game that doesn’t have ID’ing RWR contacts as a capability? Even those not members of NATO lol? Why are you even making it out like being in NATO is a requirement for the capability. Sweden is a nordic ally, received Link16 like 20 years ago and is currently member in NATO… Only thing of substance you’ve said is basically “well Viggen threat library didn’t have it so it makes sense historically” which has zero meaning on current capabilities 20 years after those aircraft retired, and who knows how many years since that source you read was published… Before link16, JAS39C and NATO

Wait, I think there’s some misunderstanding here.

What do you mean by “spin”? I thought you meant rotation of the projectile as it flies through the air

they seem to tumble now in certain situations. seems to depend on what it hits too because relict for example makes it go crazy and the tes merely suggests it to change direction. if theyre going to make it recalculate every time it hits another plate this might change quite a lot

Cool!

ill make a gif rq, give me a minute

forgot AV1 is annoying to edit because of it barely being supported for whatever reason.

and im lazy
its half baked for now but, who knows where theyll take it

This update, by that i mean Firebirds

There’s quite a few pre order blogs to come out this update. AV-8S, Su-22 and now the Ja37Di.

I wish I knew this yesterday, when I literally sat down in the evening and thought about what to do in order to grind the Gripen with a path of least resistance. I came to a conclusion, that they won’t add any new premium to Sweden, because it would have already been uploaded on the devserver or leaked.

So I bought the JA37D and experted the crew. RIP 3 million SL. xD
Was about to buy the talisman for it as well, but thankfully delayed this for december sales.

FOX3 Viggen at 13.0 will be absolutely busted in SB lol. I think this will be the first thing in WT I buy for full price straight away.

The little spin looks so goofy, I love it xD

i think theyll refine it, pretty sure theyre not supposed to do that by that much lmao. but still, this can change quite a lot. a shell slamming into the side of a tank sideways is not gonna go through usually so spaced armor might be getting a huge buff

Not every pack gets a pre-order.
If I had to guess…the one they want to make the most money off is the premium amraams slinger rather than two copy paste ground attack aircraft of lower tiers.

German Phantomraams also going down to 13.0. Alongside with the existing AV-8B+ it won’t be too much out of place.

From those three though, I’d be stuck between picking the AV-8B and JA37 of which I think is best.

But yeah, it’ll definitely be a top dog during down tiers.

I did something like this too!

AV8B and F4F ICE is better imo at 13.0

Both have much better RWR’s, better radars, much better A2G, after FM change they have less drag, I think (although not sure) both will beat Viggen in dogfight, viggen has no IRCCM… I can’t think of one thing Viggen does better except top-speed, which I think is underperforming

Yes, but I also have the moral integrity, compared to the local UK mains, to say that ICE, J-8F and AamraamV-8 has no business below 13.3. Speaking about SB of course. IDGAF about RB anymore.

I flown alot of F-4 (E and F), J-8F in SB and AJ37 as well as JA37 in the past week. Don’t really have much experience in AV-8, but considering it’s subsonic and has no datalink, the effectivness of it is about the same as the J-8F.

That being said, the best airframe out of these 4 planes is, without question, the Viggen.
The Phantom, the Jeff is a one trick pony. I’ve seen people doing very well in the AV-8, but again, it’s slow. The Viggen can do 1.25 mach on the deck as well as dogfight when it has to. It should be 13.3-13.7.

I mean I will buy it if they release it at 13.0. I will abuse it as long as I can. If I will be able to find a lobby for it in SB that is. :D

@Smin1080p_WT
What exactly does the “WTD-61” for the Tornado and the Su-22 entail? Is it just a reskin, or is it possible to suggest some of the systems these aircraft were tested with while in the unit?
