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

nothing changed in that regard on the dev server

When do you guys think we will see the devblogs for the December update coming?

Has JF17 gotten the K-band RWR yet?

two and a half weeks after the patch drops

Removing the MICAs on the RMV! a plane that had them! brillant move gaijin! surely this will not piss off all of the french players!

The RMV can use MICA IR’s, not the radar ones. And its way too early for missiles like MICA IR’s.

Its previous loadouts were just placeholder from the Mirage 2K-5F.

I’m not sure about that firstly, but even if that were the case it should still get them for balance. Right now we’re going to have to grind 400K RP for what? a better targetting pod and an HMD ? is this some kind of joke?

MICA IR’s? That doesn’t sound very balanced.

Are there any German modern jet got passed to devs recently?

You should probably look more into the late generation IR missiles like the MICA first. Its not even remotely close to anything ingame currently.

Yeah 400k RP is a bit much for the RMV especially if it isn’t getting either the MICA EM or the MICA IR. Would be nice if it got foldered with the D-R1.

And if it isn’t getting any MICA’s right now and only 2 Magic 2 then 13.7BR will be ridiculous. 12.3 would be fair for the thing until it gets MICA.

Also what’s up with the D-R1 being at the same BR as the C-S5/4? Being 12.3 alongside the C-S5/4 despite lacking an internal gun, only 2 IR missiles and having a worse FM is criminal. It should be 12.0 in ARB and ASB

I think 80€ is WAY too much; the Premium pack pricing should peak at 60 for Top Rank vehicles and even 70 is a stretch already…

However, I never liked the WT Premium/DCS module comparisons, since it’s apples to oranges given the completely different nature of these games.

When you purchase a DCS module, the plane is the only product you acquire; the fidelity is much higher, because DCS is a full fledged simulator, yes; but that’s it. Buy a plane, get a plane.

When you purchase a Top Tier Premium pack, you are not only acquiring the plane itself, the GE and the Premium account that come with it; you are, essentially, purchasing your way to unlock 60+ other vehicles (in Sweden’s case) quickly.

So, in a way, you are not spending 60€ on a plane (and its complements), but rather, spending 60€ to gain quick access to the entire tech tree through an immediate acquisition on the first place, effectively skipping the long grind process the free-to-play model relies on.

There’s also the difference that compared to DCS, the WT premiums also pay for the massive amount of free content regularly added.

jets such as? besides the eurofighter (which we know isn’t coming until 2025 from the leaks) what’s there to add

talking about the EMs, not the IRs.

It can’t use EMs.

should still get them, balance over perfect realism. this is a game not a simulation.
all of the other countries counterparts are getting ARH, this uses the same radar as the other Mirages, it’s not far fetched and it’d be good for usability.

It should not.

why would that be? I’d like you to provide actual arguments please

If it can use them, it can get them added. If it can’t, it can’t get them. Its not complicated.
