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

It wasn’t supposed to have it, was a modelling mistake. The extra piece is one of the ERA elements next to the gun, moved to make more room for the driver when driving from A to B and not in combat.

The F-15EX after F-15C MSIP II (if gajin change to AESA radar instead AN/APG-63(V)1 radar in the future)

I don’t know gajin could add new F-15C with AN/APG-63(V)2 or AN/APG-63(V)3 AESA radar. or might convert AN/APG-63(V)1 from F-15C MSIP II to AN/APG-63(V)2 or (V)2 AESA radar instead

Still waiting for this beauty.

Tbh F15E should’ve been added to Strike line-up, now they caused an havoc and tech tree placement will be even worse in the future, unless they switch some places like they did before.

I will die on this hill, the F-15E directly replaced the F-111 in service and took its role over completely therefore it goes after the F-111

quick Sergey, get the wrench we need to put the armor back on

I would not be surprised if the EFT doesn’t perform to what people think it does. Same with any modern aircraft (including my beloved F-2).

For example, IIRC the game has high drag in general and they have to fluff some numbers to match the technical data specs. But this has other side effects like aircraft not able to perform maneuvers they could do IRL since the values are all, for lack of a better term, made up.

If anything the less specs Gaijin has to work with the more freedom and flexibility, but it also means something could be overperforming or underperforming and Gaijin gets to choose.

I mean its a game and not a perfect simulation, i mean it is what it is. Some values properly work which in turn breaks other things. Drakens FM got nerfed and now cant pull Cobra’s at their normal speeds or they just dont match with other draken data ect ect.

Yea. Personally as long as it’s competitive, I don’t care too much if it matches IRL or not.

Oh then the nerfs didn’t make the competitive lmao, more so just executed them from doing the only thing they had going for them. Hurts even more so when you play the J35D at 10.3 and an aim 9L is coming towards you. Or the XS in a 12.0 match. Idk why the mig 21 Bis is the same BR as the XS or the Canard but im not a dev idk what the statistics say. Im fine with the XS at 11.0 but ill take the Mig 21 over both those deltas any day of the week.

They’ve also butchered the F-104s not too long ago, so now the non 9.X ones are all quite sad.

I only felt bad for the non 9.x starfighters since they weren’t being fed free food from constant 8.x downtiers.

Imo people should grind all lines and not be picky choosy its ruined a lot for me so I started doing it and it made things much easier

Just add my Danish F 35 and ill be happy

Itll end up a premuim or squadron vehicle since all of Scandanavia is

I always wondered why people dont grind all lines, its like people skipping spaa in ground and then complaining they cant have access to spaa

Have all lines=access to all content added

I’ve been playing the German F-104G recently, it is depressing. It’s objectively worse than other 11.0 planes, and 10.7/11.0 is a blackhole for uptiers to 11.7.

It also has an awful stock grind of only 2 Aim-9Es, and the 9Js are locked behind about 60-70k rp. Meanwhile the Mig-21Bis has better acceleration, better stock grind (2 stock R-60MKs), better missiles, and doesn’t bleed speed as much during high speed turns.

If Romania, Indian, and Australian vehicles can be added to the TT then we can get a Danish F 35 between the J32 and the AJ37
