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

Feel free to clarify with sources in a report if you have counter information. As I said yesterday, this is not the bug report site and this topic is not a discussion about bug reports.

Several of the clipping reports have already been accepted for review by the Devs.

it used to be a dead zone, and some prove that it’s rubber, so no longer dead zone, but the model not changed

You are right, I wouldn’t. I am a German collector and I aim to have all German vehicles (preferably spaded as well). Yet I won’t buy the premium Su-22 because:

  1. I already have two German Su-22.
  2. I refuse to support CTRL C cashgrabs.

Same with the premium Tornado and Mig 21. I already have two or more versions in TT and as an event, I just refuse to buy these CTRL V vehicles.

The premium Viggen Di is even worse offender in this regard, as it doesn’t even have the feature that sets it apart from the Viggen D. Which is a cockpit in imperial units.

But hey, I am happy for you and I am sure it will be a more effective grinder than the Draken XS.

Just curious if theirs any word on whether they’ll be bringing back the M728 CEV like they did with the Centurion AVRE. Figure they will eventually, but still curious if theirs been any rumor or word.

Shame those decals are tied to buying the planes, like the Naga and the coat of arms but I don’t play planes so I’m definitely not buying them.

Next one one be the Finnish hornets, then Gripen E, and lastly Gripen NG as the NG has a lot more armaments options than the E.

Yeah that thing is a slap in the face and a joke

I thought NG was an interrim prototype between the C and the E?

Was figuring its a good stepping stone for a Gripen E without the IRIS-T and Meteor loadouts.

Yes they’ll probably also get finnish F-18s sooner rather than later, but they arent Typhoon level

The NG was basically an export variant of an upgraded C, which got the E designation when it entered Swedish service, which means it could get added with all the different weaponry it was cleared for and advertised with (unironically every single modern western missile) whilst the E would probably only have weapons in service by Sweden.

Gripen NG doesnt exist as a vehicle the same way Leopard 2A7+ doesnt exist. Its anything representing further development of Gripen platform. You could ask for Gripen E (early) with old small wing and no IRST (or with IRST) and early development radar set.

Ah… Fair enough.

There is a Gripen NG prototype between the C and NG which could be added for the in-between role.

Slide 11 even shows one with AIM-9M rather than IRIS-T, and it still has new features like an upgraded engine, MAW, AESA radar etc.

When can we expect the update release?

A total of 12 people ready to buy Su-22 copy paste throughout its life span

Yeah thats still a Gripen C/D based demo that brings not really much to the table. Gripen E is a much better option

Have we reached the state where we need to proof what is rubber and what is not
When the obvious difference is shown ingame…smin please

Early next week I guess

Alright

will making custom afterburners still be possible with the new afterburner effects?

It is rubber IRL, but the texture is a bit…
