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

I’m half expecting for the C.10 to pop up since everyone is getting premiums

Big F-20 fan, but I’ve been holding off on playing it forever. It’s overtiered and faces ARH constantly anyway, I refuse to play it until they lower the BR to be one stop lower than the ADF or give it Aim-120As. Its in a really rough spot, and the addition of its historical TWS modes + Aim-120 would be a wonderful addition. I do know some players who don’t want it to go up though, but they can just play the ADF instead at that point…
(Due to it lacking IRCCM IR missiles and HMS/HMD, it would likely sit at 13.0-13.3, similarly to the JF-17, not 13.7 where the top dogs sit rn).

@Smin1080p_WT any specific reason why the JA37D isnt getting its purpose but a premium is being added to take its place? Seems kinda crazy that is the current decision.

Also any plans to potentially fill in the CAS gap on sweden with Danish or Norwegian vehicles? F 35 from Dk pls. Need my homes bomber draken.

It wouldnt come without Python 4 so no chance for this patch

Seeing what they seem to be doing with the F-15I vs F-15E (making the F-15I significantly better in air battles), I wouldn’t be suprising if they release the C10 as a premium this update to profit from dissapointed people wanting to grind the F-15I instead of the F-15E.

yeah im in the same boat for the uk, every time we have asked for a change to make the tanks better gaijin takes that and makes them worse so at this point just gonna stop asking and hope they dont make them any worse then they already are

Idk man. I get your points, but I also look at the likes of Tornado F3 Late / F4 ICE who are sat at 13.3 with horrific flight performance - solely because AMRAAMs are so powerful it’s necessary despite every other weakness. I think the only 13.0 AMRAAM slinger’s are the Harriers right? But they’re a unique case because the platform is so weak.

I don’t think it could possibly go below 13.3, and there really is a case for 13.7, but regardless of which one it is… it will probably take 2-3 years until we see 14.7 - 15.0 - where it will finally escape top bracket. Do you really want to spend all that time suffering against 4.5 gens? I said it in the other comment, but just really feels like short term gain for long term pain.

Someone made an argument that as it shows a Rooivalk’s pylons it is not good evidence despite it clearly being a SuperHind brochure. Mokopa passed because it has some secondary sources to back it up as well

its just the Tornado now because gaijin decided the ICE was worse apparently, so the tornado now acts as the only 3rd gen airframe still above 13.0

also the J8F, Ja37Di, F4F ICE, AV-8B+ and Shar FA2 are all the 13.0 Fox 3 aircraft

looks like japan got a thai harrier at 9.7 (premium)

I hope it loses the 9Ls other wise its just better then the Shar FRS1(e)

Ooof. I’m still not even bothering to research the late. AMRAAM’s or not, that thing looks very unfun to play at that BR with that flight performance.

Also helps that the OG F3 is amazing at 12.0 and there’s no reason to go beyond it lol.

I don’t think it has had access to 9Ls for the last days now.

Used to have 9Gs and now it has 9Ps

its got 2x aim9p’s

Fair enough. I keep logging back in to check some of the tanks I’m exceited about and with the hope that they fix the F-15I vs F-15E situation in a way that benefits both sides.

Sadly I don’t think the latter will happen.

Yeah I’m hoping for that to be sorted too, but with how stubborn Gaijin can be I doubt we will see it be properly addressed.
