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

Are there any plans to add the RB74(M) like on the Gripens? Or will they retain the standard RB74?

Standard RB74.

Gripen (and all of its variants) were cleared for 9M use. Viggen was not. The Gripen A at 13.0 does not have AMRAAMs. So there is a choice between the Aiframe + 9M advantage of Gripen or the RB99s on the Viggen platform.

So its the same jet but one is prem? Seems stramge but as long as the Otis is added then its “fine”

Can we expect some fixes to Viggen platform before JA37Di goes live? I’m talking mainly about HUD missing target lock tracker and limited range of the radar

You know anything that can run 9L can run 9M right

ignoring if you are using a modified rail RAF

Perfect way to do a premium imo. People who don’t want or can’t spend the money can play the TT ones, people who want can buy and play the premium version to grind Sweden or just grind SL.

Viggen never had 9M at any point. We take it into consideration if there is at least a viable connection or used for export.

With Gripen there is, with Viggen there is none sadly. Plus that would also complicate its current BR, as the RB 74s are offset by RB 99.

any word on if the tornado F3 late is going to stay at 13.3 by itself or will it also move down to 13.0 with the F4F ICE since both planes are very similar, on that note any plans for the Shar FA2 and by extension the AV-8B+ being moved since neither of these planes should be the same BRs as jets with the same weapons, that also out preform them

HUDs and other elements are a longer term Work-in-progress for many aircraft series. So its most likely not going to be possible for this major as many others were already worked on / are currently being worked on.

What about F-4F ICE going to 13.0 then? It carries 4 AIM-120 and 4 IRCCM missiles at the same BR while also having better radar set

F-4F ICE was lowered due to its performance. The other two currently don’t display the same.

J-8F is also 13.0 with similar missiles. 37Di will do fine.

You missed my point. I dont have a problem with Di being 13.0, the problem is ICE sitting too low

welp heres hoping that the tornado starts doing terrible with the Su34 now at the same BR and it being better in almost every way

Would RB72 ever be considered for the viggen as an irccm missile?

Should we expect another plane in this patch for the German side? Or is a useless premium the maximum at the moment?

@Smin1080p_WT We would just like to know if there are plans for the future updates to add German equivalents (GE/Pack/Squad) to the F20, Bison, J37Di, JF17? The Mig 21 Lazur is pretty old already =D
