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

The RCV is an absolute monster I’ve only had it about a week and have already gotten a nuke and got very close to a 2nd.

RCV (p) or RCV?

(P) has a stabilizer and 69mm pen apds on a 20mm. The RCV is a unstabilized 25mm with 96mm pen apdfsds

Gun-only IFVs generally place much more emphasis on good positioning. It is possible that the players you’ve seen are still getting used to such playstyle.

The non stabilised one

I play around the 8.x-9.x range generally spading stuff and in all my time ive seen one 9030 do good with 5 kills and no deaths, until and A4E player used AGM 62 against him for his CV then his backup ITPSV

Yeah the 9.0 RCV imo is amazing but im taking the 7.7 one is good at 9.0 imo, in a downtier its pretty solid

Germany and sweden at 8.x are the best to fight against due to the lack of armor.

I’ve not touched it yet, only reason being is i love playing 9.3 Japan atm, it’s got some solid vehicles atm and the AA options ain’t too sad.

The stock belt grind is rough for the (p) but positioning and not having russia on the enemy team makes it fun.

I’ve never enjoyed the 20mm’s in game either.

You should try the PBV 302 Bill. Prior to the ATGM camera it was one of the worst missile carriers, couldn’t aim the gun over the chassis as the gun looks up thus your missile also. And you got 48mm pen solid shot on a slow firing 20mm. Imo one of the most mind numbing vehicles ever, even now once you’re out of missiles you’re screwed, some cases id take non top down missiles because they are way too inconsistent imo.

So anyone can tell me why the Su34’s radar was nerfed? What was the reason?

I think I’d rather bleach my eyeballs than play that thing lol

I quite like 9.7 Japan (Type-16 my beloved) and with the incoming AV-8S it should get juicer :3

Unfortunate, since like 4 people play it guess itll never go down.

Because it was overperforming, if you’re talking about scan rate ofc.

Its not overperforming… Its a PESA radar; It certainly shouldn’t have a slower scan rate than some M-Scan radars

Well if you have documents that shows otherwise please feel free to make bug reports.

As far as i know it was overperforming so its up to people to prove other way.
