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

Also the stupid PL11AE which caused me great confusions, where on earth does it look like Aspide?

PLAAF naming scheme is getting more and more strange.

I mean I guess it could be just that it uses same propelling, although that said, I do kinda get it, Aspide’s burst is quite strong, nice for sort of 10km IR missiles.

So it will be similar in use to R-27ET?

Probably but with an IR seeker that is a lot better, after all it is 2024 now, PL5EII style IRCCM could be a lot more advantageous than normal fov reduction especially at longer range.

Your ASSESSMENT is subjective. I’m done with trying to convince you, your ego must be massive.

It might be even better than that, maybe imaging infared seeker like PL-10.

You don’t get what I’m saying.

If I was to say something about @gszabi99 hint at update tomorrow, and if I was thinking about the ongoing event, I’d rather release the update on Wednesday afternoon. Even though I believe you are right,

However we all know every updates show off in the morning, and the earlier in the week, the more chances we have getting most of the big bugs solved for the week end…

Lets see what the almighty snail plans for us.

Playing multiple nations, isn’t a solution to an imbalance. Dont like the Leclerc…play Germany…great advice

And if a nation is so bad that the recommendation is “don’t play it” then something is fundamentally wrong

PSA: Backup your controls

Bro where is this update ;-; Im trying to play it before a DLC drops in another game

Tomorrow hopefully

Since we can be fairly confident of what will be in the update soon, I’m going to be take a moment to mention some things we thought might’ve been, but likely won’t be:

The anti-radiation missile targets saw some dramatic changes in the beginning of the devserver, and featured loudly in the teaser. But there 's been no mention of them from an official capacity, and the new weapon type they’ll exist to facilitate use of hasn’t itself appeared to a greater extent than it had prior to this devseason - still just an unused loadout for LD-10 on the JF-17 and our records of the AGM-78 appearing in the files briefly, some time ago.
So, it seems that while they’re still coming, and probably coming soon, they won’t be coming until next update at the earliest and possibly later than that.

JS Yubetsu (DE-228) was in the larger reliable leak ahead of this update, and appeared again in the updated one. It was also in the leak for this time on Baidu.
However, it didn’t show up at all in the devserver files - the JDS Murasame (DD-107) came for JPN naval instead, apparently unexpected by the leak sources since neither have previously mentioned it.
It 's still w/in the realm of possibility that it could come at update release, but very unlikely now.

When Yubetsu does come, though, it’ll likely be the signal that the more advanced ARH-AShM technologies - which we’ve been seeing evidence for the development of for some time now - have been finalized to the point of release-readiness to WT.

It is a point worth mention that WT Mobile is already adding ships similar to, or beyond the capabilities that Yubetsu could introduce here. They’ve also had a significant length of time pass since they added their last ( also their first ) Japanese missile ship, so it 's quite possible that their next one will be implemented very soon, maybe even sooner than the next time Yubetsu could come w/ a higher probability here. My personal opinion is that if WTM does get a JPN missile ship soon, it 's more likely to be the Takanami-classe, Takanami (DD-110) that Oliviia leaked awhile back, since it 's closer in capability to the other missile ships that have been added to Mobile recently than Yubetsu is. Though, it 's just as if not more likely that the next JPN AShM ship for WTM could be neither of the ships leaked for WT and I’ve still got my bet on playable carriers appearing there in December

Leopard 2A4(SGP) 48th SAR was controversial, and somehow appeared even less than Yubetsu - atleast something came for JPN NF, but there 's no signs of anything ASEAN ground coming this update. It 's also not even worth considering possible as a surprise-at-release, since this update is already tied for the previous record of most squadron vehicles added at the same time.
Between the conflicting information we’ve heard abt the possibility of this vehicle ( and others attached to it 's placement ), and the lack of any more openly available communique or gamefiles to concretely attach understanding of what 's happening regarding it, there 's nothing that 's really possible to stand on regarding it apart from having it 's name to watch out for in the future - not even a timeframe to attach.

thought forums would be on fire since there might be an annoucement(or there wont)

Probably just putting them here to not work on them later, LD-10 and STARM are based on existing in-game assets. I am actually wondering if there is a Kh-25MP somewhere, but it actually looks different compared to Kh-25ML.
