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

I dont care/mind about the AV-8B+ there is pros and cons for both, but the SHar just needs to fixed/finished for them to apply. But yeah, ICE is BS, especially with the F3 Late not moving anywhere

The leak said ASEAN going to China too so anything can change. They might prioritize getting EFT this December instead. We hope anyway.

It’s not our job to try and fix the game, and I mean that literally.

And what “needs to be done”, exactly? Writing reports? Making forum posts? People have done all that and it’s led nowhere. Even when handed on a silver platter, Gaijin will refuse to fix a bug. Sure some take time, but some are as simple as activating a plate of armor on the visual model that isn’t in the damage model (the Leclerc UFP).

There’s no berating of major nation players. Good for them for getting special attention. But minor nation players have the right to be upset when majors blatantly get special treatment.

Is Gaijin Entertainment looking into smoke that defeats radar signals?

Yeah… I dont trust that leak entirely and I wouldnt put it past them to say its coming way later, so that its a bigger suprirse if/when it comes

But…

US: Move F-15E to 14.0 and add F-18
USSR: Su-30
Germany, Italy and Britain: Typhoon
France: Rafale
Sweden: Gripen NG
China: J-10B or J-11B
Israel: F-15E to 14.0 and add Lavi?
Japan: F-2

Would make a decent update

The F/A-18C has been effectively confirmed for December, however that’s a sidegrade to what we have now, so the Typhoon and Rafale would still be competitive. Unless, of course, Gaijin pulls the “you need to wait for X” card again.

The J-10B is the next step, and there’s also the J-11B, which will be substantially better than the J-11A, with it having Chinese missiles and radar.

Yeah…

But Id say they got Typhoon equals this update, so their guranteed new aircraft next update doesnt need to be equal

Thank you, China is not an area I know much about

I wouldn’t be surprised if the J-15 is added next year, either, as, to my knowledge, it’s the closest direct Chinese counterpart to the F/A-18C, being a naval multirole fighter.

Yeah, would be a good fit for early next year

The Typhoon update bringing them, an early Rafale, the J-15, and perhaps some other stuff like the F-16I and Gripen NG would be ideal.

Yep, would be a good way to salvage what has ultimately been a kinda disapointing year for most european nations for air.

I’m hoping the update is themed around the Typhoon, so it can be named something cool like Approaching Storm.

Delta Storm would be my vote

Typhoon, rafale, Gripen, lavi, J-10

Would be fititng.

Though… if any european nations get more than 2 seconds in the trailer. We’ll be doing better than we usually are.

Eurocanard for these three.

Yeah, “Euro Delta” or something to that effect would work great

it’s better to ping smin after there is a suggestion or issue.
If no, you can create one first, and contact a suggestion mod.

There is the option of F-15C with AESA radar but that might come later in a smaller update.

F-18C for US and Germany is possible.
