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

Buit russia gets the 9k33 and so does italy SO yay for italy I mean I guess

Or give the type 81 c and the hopeful type 11 access to its own radar trailer unit it can sort of deploy next to itself when it stops moving or something and it takes like 3 mins for it to appear or something

Sure, but then maybe try to advocate for that instead of a naval balancing disaster.

Japan is doing well at naval top tier right now, don’t think that’s where we need more.

To be fair stealth doesn’t affect eyes. Type 81 isn’t enough, sure, but again Yamato doesn’t change that.
Our best bets are Type 81 ARH, Type 11 and SG SPYDER.

If we want search radar there either needs to be external radar mechanics or a Type 11 FCS radar vehicle with towed launcher. Maybe a Thai HVSD/ADAMS, but I’m not sure if the variant was even built to be tested.

Yes, Japan had no ADATS at all. Thai ADATS is stationary and still has no radar.

That won’t help us either. Only make people hate us enough to prevent proper fixes.

Mauswaffe was a little bit wrong about the SAM-1Cs performance. The IR missile has less range due to aerodynamic properties. Simply put; the IR version is a bit shorter, lighter and has a rounded head, which reduces range. The limitation can also be seen in comparable designs (MICA, R-27, etc) where the motor and basic structure are the same, but the head is different. The ARH version definitely has more range and is probably only limited by the battery life, however unfortunately, the documents available to us do not provide any information about the electronic details.

How many people actually play naval ?

but it still can’t influence that much, so it won’t reach the effective range of a VT-1, even based on the fact that it’s auto pilot code is much more effective than SACLOS

No but its reduce heat signature might affect your ability to see it with your thermal and unless we do get the arh it will affect your only missle to. Again eyeballing air units is the main issue its unrealiable

Less so then the f14 spam made me hate america or the leo 2 variants appearing in nearly every tree or t-80s to

Maybe they can just simulate the radar vehicle? The vehicle itself wouldn’t be in game but the radar would idk

See that was reasonable for japan so gaijin will ignore it instead you get a bus sized ifv with a obsevation telephone mast and 30mm cannon

ahhh gotcha

I believe they’ve already finished the visual aspect of Yamato, there was an interview they ran on 4gamer.net ( link ) where they said she was in the plans but would appear in WT Mobile first, which she now has:

However that game also features many ships we can reasonably expect to appear here before Yamato does, so it 's the same effect in the end.

We have no idea, I’m just saying that it’s possible and trying to be optimistic.

From the leak it looks like their Squadron 2A4 was scrapped for this update specifically, since it was explicitly crossed out. Any further implications are just guesses or hopes.

Of course not, that’s stupid. This would be limited to at most the founding members (or just some of them), being Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. It’s just quicker to write ASEAN than explain all that.

Nations like Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia should probably actually go to China as subtrees instead.

Or just make them all subtrees of neither and make an ASEAN independent tree, though that leaves Japan without subtree.

Thailand can help, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say solve. There would still be considerable gaps, most notably guided CAS, which Thailand doesn’t exactly have a lot of either.

Compare that to existing multi national subtrees for other nations like France or Britain, both of which already being a lot more future froof than Japan on their own, and it does become apparent that ideally Japan would also receive some form of multi national subtree.

Still, I agree that ASEAN as a whole shouldn’t be a subtree at all. If they want to keep the 10 ASEAN nations together then it should be an independent tree.

Somewhere between 1 and

/j

all im saying is best way to test mmV missiles is give us the Ajax Overwatch since then the brimstones wont be firing from a fast moving plane or a helicopter that can hide behind a hill

This new on the dev server?

No thats a real life picture 🤣

The F-2 can mound AGM-65s iirc.

in his defence, people have been talking as if it is guaranteed to be added soon

If that would end up being what happens, who could Japan get at that point? Wouldn’t that take away every viable option for it?
