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

doesnt change the fact it hits very hard once u learned to aim it
again, You-issue

I am not saying its hard, I literally farmed kills with the A-5C and grinded China under like a month. But you have to face the fact that it sucks because other options are much better.

A5C doesnt have the 23mm from the j7d

The 23-3 has even slower muzzle velocity, often requiring half a screen to aim. Again, doable, because most of the times the guns go onto a-10 or frogfoots which are juicy targets and easy kill against A-5Cs.

The update will come before this gets to part 4, right?

Why no Placeholder FnF Seeker for the Brimstone 1s?

Keep replying, get this to 10k :P

No joke, I will take 9xmav-like things.

We are receiving such aircraft. Mirage 2000C and Gripen both were such aircraft.

I do not see that much of an issue personally.
Back in.the day imbalance regarding new mechanics or capabilities was much greater.

It was entirely what I was expecting them to do.

Was never imagining we’d get the LOAL mode 3 version nor was I expecting mmV to be at full strength, but this hardline stance on it being 100% historically accurate with no room for placeholder FnF to give it parity to AGMs at the same BR baffles me.

Heck, The lack of BOL, BOL modeling, lack of radar and even Aim-9Ms are more historically in-accurate at the moment on the GR4 :D

I would say both are inferior in BVR only because their loadout, cause obviously they are great vehicles, but RN, why are F15s ruling the skies, cause they can afford to dump 4 AMRAAMs and still fight WVR. Whilst Su27s could do the same, they can’t really dump R77s with Mech and expect to hit. J10 is the only one that is close to F15, although the radar is still inferior.

Yeah, when was the last time a “Gripen is OP please nerf” post appeared and Ive never seen one for the Mirage, only threads about buffing MICA and Magic.

F-15Cs definetly hold the meta at the moment despite being “inferior” in WVR

Issue is, the WR seem to say otherwise if one doesn’t play top tier, cause US WR is like 54%, only because 90% of the times they are on both sides.

Gaijin might change radar for F-15C MSIP II after decompress battle rating higher 13.7 some day ?

Buff both F-15C MSIP II and F-15E add AIM-120C & AIM-120C-5 ?

Personally I do not like unrealistic loadouts.
I’ve not played the MiG-29 9.12 since spading them.
R-27ER does not belong in it while it lacks R-73.

Hawk 200 is not in British service so Gaijin would have to take weigh how to add if it will be added at all.

Harrier never used any skyflashes as far as I’m aware. I did not like Skyflash on Gripen but it is what it is.
If a vehicle could use the given armarement but did not I’d sau a compromise for the sake of balance reasonable but giving fantasy loadouts is more than pushing it in my opinion.

Yeah, which is why WR as a metric for vehicle balancing at top tier is useless.

Maybe Aim-120Cs, but was thinking more like better radar and BOL

I think maybe not so much of air cause sample size, but ground I think RB is less good of volumetric than AB, cause there are more direct fights, less side shooting, it’s just more obvious representation of fire power and protection. Air arcade I never play except when I use 5K contracts.

What?

That has never stopped Gaijin before. Falcon and Challenger Marksman were only Prototypes for example

All BAE Hawks (except those used by Finland) have an easy placement on our tree
