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

In addition to what you said for A2A. The Gripen is also really falling behind as a multirole. Each A2G you take costs you a notable chunk of both your CMs and A2A weapons, to the point where you can end up with less CMs, AAMs and AGMs than something like the F-16C. It’s a perfectly usable CAS, but definetly need a heavy multirole aircraft or an exceptionally strong CAS aircraft

(should have been GR4, but alas…)

So now that’s the Gr9A or Typhoon

And how will the new Harrier help here? It seems that one of its significant differences will be Brimstones. We see their implementation. Do we need it in this form?

Actually. They never used dual mode. So it’s mmV or none at all.

What the Gr9A does add, assuming no brimstones

  • HMS
  • Gen 3 Tpod
  • more ePaveway types
  • Better engine

I can also see Gr9A adding the missing 2x Aim-9 and 2x AGM-65 (bringing the max of either up to 6). Currently missing from the Gr7 as well.

Also could run a TERMA for near-all aspect MAWS

(Maybe even ASRAAM)

Its definitely sometime between now and the heat death of the universe

I just realized, legit question, do the incoming ammo boxes mean we might be able to make the OTOMATIC playable as a anti tank platform again… hold the phone…

This is good, but in the ASB it will not save him, if the HMD will not display allies, like the HMD of the A-10С. Then it will make sense

It’s cool, but it won’t add much real efficiency. Gen 2 is quite efficient.

Then it’s easier to take Tornado GR.4.

With the inevitable BR increase, where it will likely make little sense, he’s almost guaranteed to be thrown to 13.0 and against 4s the new engine won’t save him.

You’re supposedly an ASB player, so I don’t need to explain to you that the best way for a strike aircraft to be useful is to quietly reach the battlefield, unload all of its weapons on it in the shortest possible time, and get out as quickly as possible before you get beat up.
For attacking the battlefield, the best option is Mavericks or fully functioning Brimstones. For attacking a base, “long” JDAM’s or PGM’s.
Taking laser guided weapons to attack the battlefield is a pretty stupid suicide, in my opinion.

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll add more British battleships. Like Kawachi, or Mikasa.

Really wanted to add the argentine ships since they’d [likely] be going to Germany but they were actually American built… :/ The US building them did upset the British government though, so that’s close enough I guess.

lets talk about germany then

Even rumors round-up and discussion belongs British TT

TIALD is gen 1.

Gr7 can go toe to toe with something like an F-16 ina turn fight just about, Gr9A would be better.

Was thinking more of an effective CAS for GRB though and less so ASB

I mean it could be worse
