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

Don’t give me ideas : P

SPICE 250 equivalent Kh-36 Grom-E1 ?

GBU-39/B SDB I on Gripen C after updated dev server

In fact SAAF service JAS39 Gripen C worse than another operators (via swedish, RTAF, HuAF and Czech)

Personally, I’m waiting Finnish F/A-18C MLU 2, especially close air support (CAS) better Gripen C

Service doesnt matter, gaijin gave sweden and saaf gripen missiles for balance and because they can use them. In game the major difference is ARH.

wdym? sweden has the AMRAAM which is probably better then the R-Darter

Hungary also has the same as the swedish gripen when it comes to ARH. Which is what i was mentioning to oom as the ARH is the major difference in game between the saaf gripen and swe version.

and thats bad because?

Wasnt saying it was bad, he just mentioned the irl service, in game the only major difference is ARH.

This is probably just an effect for the trailer, but I really wish Gaijin implemented a very basic FCS system for modern MBTs allowing them to lock on and track targets, possibly even giving a lead.

Everyone say this but it really isn’t true imo the J35s got nerfed into the ground (cant even Cobra without instructor) and we had to wait an extra 2 updates to get our JAS39 C while 2 other nations got it before us, and not to mention Gaijin claims Sweden to be the Scandanavian TT but only gives is finland in the TT and makes Norway and Denkmark premiums only

And there is more but thats just what I remember right now

The trailers and cinematics always show stuff that would be great to see in the game.

With Smin confirming that MFD’s were being worked on I hope we see missing approach screens like this come to the game soon.

Also for MFD TGP targeting from within the cockpit. (I know this is showing the gunners controls which aren’t even modelled properly in-game but hopefully we see this come to the game for all vehicles.)

Sadly, South African Gripen C equipment downgraded from hungary & sweden, and limited 5th gen IR missile IRIS-T

Gajin increase BR to 14.0 next year but before IRIS-T instead AIM-9L & AIM-9M and removed R-Darter

JAS39C EBS HU armed AIM-120C-5 & AIM-120C-7, but in dev server AIM-120A on JAS39C EBS HU

From sweden tech tree Gripen C carry RB 99 in dev server

I might hope gajin increase BR 14.0 for JAS39C EBS HU before AIM-120A replace with AIM-120C-5 & AIM-120C-7, and 14.3 for JAS39 Gripen C before RB 98 instead RB 74 (M)

Cheetah C located before JAS39 Gripen C (SAAF), my guess

And Cheetah C armed R-Darter

I’m hoping they model thermal profiles

Spoiler

and we get the silly Swedish thermal blanket

an actual use for the 2F, TES and OES??? that would be amazing

That 's what I believe the " Leclerc Autotracker " in the files will be for. Right now it 's an exact copy of the " BMP Autotracker " file that all IFV 's use to capture air targets, but since the Leclerc this unused file is named after does not have a similar capability, it 's easier to understand it as a placeholder for when ground-to-ground electro optical locking is implemented sometime later.

I WISH! Hopefully for the December update! (I doubt it would be coming this update at this point).

Whilst I love the look, I personally think it’s better for moving targets to have some difficulty to hit

It would still not b e easy; it would just give you the option to interact with modern systems so that modern machines feel more like modern machines.

That’s why I think it should come even if just letting you lock on targets to track them without giving you a lead!

Tomorrow Update yee?

no

I’m surprised Germany or Japan didn’t get a premium rank 7 jet this update. Germany is hurting at top tier right now for air.
