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

They said alot of severe bugs had to be squashed hence the delay. I would be ok if they merged november update with the december one. They could even make a new schedule 1 update every 3 months.

Don’t forget the current event ends on Wednesday at noon

Going to guess Thursday for the update at the soonest.

I mean, what like 70% of updates drop of thursdays?

Gaijin sadly deletes their “Planned Technical Works” announcements on their website, so I had to look for related posts on reddit:

Hopefully a J-15 variant with domestic weaponry and avionics, since we are sick and tired of the soviet junk when we could be using PL-12s

What would be considered a Flanker on the level of the F18C??? For Russia? I don’t think the Su-33 had any modernization??? Did it???

The question should be what can soviets get that is on-par with Typhoon and Rafale.

Even if Typhoon and Rafale doesnt come in December, can almost gurantee that their counters will.

Theres no Russian naval Flanker comparable to F/A-18C. Closest thing to it from Russia is naval MiG-29K

Well my guess for on-par would be Su-30SM maybe? But that seems kinda crazy to show up in an up date that doesn’t have a Typhoon or Rafale. Videos of it in DCS and from IRL pilot playing DCS Command T on YouTube show it being way better by far then anything we have atm. I don’t think something like it would come without counters.

Based upon last year, the counters came 1-2 updates before.

Such as the Mig-29SMT, Mig-29G and F-16C coming before Gripen and alongside F-15A and Su-27.

I can fully see Typhoon and Rafale coming after they would be appropriate to be added. But we are simply too close to them being required to dismiss their addition at this point. Italy is out of aircraft without doing wierd things like Spanish F-18s. Britain is out of aircraft without tech like mmV Brimstones or ASRAAM. And Germany only has the F-18C from the Swiss. France I have no idea what they have left, if anything
