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

[Zyranovos]

Are all airfields being updated or just the test ones?

[Apollo_1641]

We’ll get them in “missions for high ranked aircraft”, so yeah I think we’ll be seeing these in air AB/RB/SB

[Morvran]

Looks like it.

[luque13]

Hammer would be nice!

[Zyranovos]

Nice

Any ideas on a release date for the update?

Next week.

AGM65G and AIM9M from the Swedish Gripen: theoretically possible, the equipment adapted, taking into account the “balance”, gave
The MICA EM of the French RMV can theoretically be available, and the equipment is adaptable, but in practice it is not equipped
was retracted
so balance lmao
It’s hard for me to imagine how confident RMV can be in benchmarking against the F-15E/I, SU-34, JF-17, AV-8B+
No BVR, no MICA IR, even if given AASM, it’s not worth staying at 13.7/12.7
It’s a joke

Gripen integrated those missiles.

The MICA EM of the French RMV can theoretically be available, and the equipment is adapted, but in practice it is not equipped and confiscated

MICA-EM wasnt integrated with Mirage 2000D. Using them is physically impossible due to nature of the radar it has.

Its a dev server.

Sadly no. This was not the case.

Gripen is cleared to use AIM-9M and AGM-65.

Mirage 2000D RVM was never used or cleared with MICA EM and it’s radar doesn’t allow it’s use either. So sadly it’s not even “theoretically” possible based on the current evidence.

@Smin1080p_WT Hi. Any news about GBU-15 on F-111C?

@Smin1080p_WT Hi. Any news about GBU-15 on F-111C?

Nothing currently new to report unfortunately.

[Pheonix_RX01]

Any chance the viggens will receive HMD also can we expect the TT viggen to just be stuck with the basic grå camo and not have any other unlockable camos? (So basically another C&P viggen with 1 missile difference) so what, the third vehicle to get that treatment on sweden.

[Батончик]

:( Ok, thank you

[USthunder]

So, since the dev server closed, does that mean that we could in theory have an update by the end of this week or next week?

(the dev server is closed right? or am I being dumb again?)

[Morvran]

Next Tuesday would be my guess

[Texas_Engineer_Mike]

Im also curious about that. Would be great to see some unlockable camos for techtree JA37Di

[Gwyn_the_Weeb]

yes its closed and in theory yes, but i suspect to get the update some time next week

There is a report currently open on HMD I believe that has not yet concluded. All additional skins on the update are still WIP. So at this moment in time it’s not possible to say what vehicle will / won’t get extra skins in detail yet.

Hello @Smin1080p_WT !

With stealth aircrafts coming, does the team plans to add a radar signature analysis similar to the pen analysis in the hangar? Maybe not for this update but a future one?

Thanks,
