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

Pretty much my singular source of copium for F-15I in ground lol.

Will be woefully ineffective in terms of actually destroying stuff, but I guess at least if I can be a nuisance, then maybe my team mates with useful munitions can be more effective.

Think of yourself as a dedicated SPAA harasser. Your gonna force them to play a game of “move or die”

It’s your one purpose now, so I hope you enjoy it :)

But will Europe have their Canards by then…

How dare you suggest people to abuse me!

Also would love if that would be a case on most maps, not like i get small normandy in ItO…

PESA has been on an aircraft for quite a while in game tbh

more precisely on Super Etendard

my idea for the spaas is that they would give them a small at least reword for counter missiles and bombs so it could be worth to have a reason to spawn more spaa to protect the team like rp and sl for the kill of drones of light vehicles

Planned for 2026 iirc

I like because another one of ‘The Splendid Cats’, I dislike because… Queen Mary fills the same role for now and its a waste of what is currently not the most needed model.

Also at the time of her completion she was viewed as the most beautiful ship in the world.

At the same time though, Guilio Cesare was not added for the Italians and coupled with Caracciolo this would make a 2 x 7.0 and 2 x 6.7 lineup for them at top tier.

I don’t even think the UK would be that potent, the best ships in the game would still stomp on anything Britain has to offer and there are like 4 contenders.

Not sure about Britain having a particularly strong 6.7 lineup though Marlborough is great but I find Orion relatively sub-par, she’s better than the Bretagne but she struggles a lot with penetration at distance and a meh armour layout. KGV 1911 would at least improve the penetration and then with 3 x 6.7 I would agree with you.

F-15E no AGM-130A & AGM-130C ?

Ah, yes but not forget datalink pod (AN/AXQ-14)

Fair but im going to be honestly I really want to see Royal Oak at some point, its my favourite ship ever made and it keeps on theme of gaijin giving the Uk sunken ships

Plus Russia can get a revenge class too so its a win win for gaijin

F-22 is the best low speed dogfighter in existence right now, so if anyone gets slow its over, it entirely depends on the fight, if you overuse TVC then yes a Eurofighter or Rafale can abuse energy or rate-fighting. But if both are at near-stall speeds, the nose authority cannot be rivalled without TVC.

It is better but it’s not really relevant when you’d have eaten the AIM-120D from 3 x ASRAAM’s engagement range. Even a fully specced Tranche 5 Eurofighter is fighting a half-blind war.

Eurofighter aimed to perfect the 4th generation air superiority fighter, F-22 aimed to revolutionise it.
Such concepts have a cost though, the Eurofighter programme costed an ~35billion dollars, the F-22 programme costed ~70billion… Hence why Eurofighter is not an F-22 contemporary they just both fill the same primary role very well.

Being that ahead of the curve is why its still the prime air superiority fighter now, followed by others like Eurofighter and Rafale.

I would like to see the modernised R and QE classes as soon as possible, with the way its going by the time we get them KGV 1938 would actually be more suitable.

She is a beauty, but I have to disagree on 1 thing. The most beautiful ship(s) in the world were the Olympic class (Olympic, Titanic and Britannic)

Bruh, why are people voting to release the update without the literal main whole point of the update?

And why are people constantly questioning and pinging Smin about the schedules, specially now that he repeatedly stated that he was going on vacation for some days?

I’ve seen him state already NUMEROUS times that no plans have been changed and that the December update is still coming.

Just because they take a few more days to polish Ray Tracing it doesn’t mean the update will be delayed to December, nor that the December update won’t be coming ,nor that any special measures need to be taken…

Pretty sure that the F-15E configuration we are getting would be using the AN/ZSW-1 Improved Datalink (IDL) at this point, though did retain backwards compatibility with the AN/AXQ-14 pod.

she do be leeking less and less stuff yea , probably because everybody else arround her steped-up there game

like before there was pretty much only her (and to some extent Gszabi’s ghitub about leaked assets) , now you have Yukari-33 and dontreadthisleak that joined in

I dont get why we should be so deferential to gaijin when they treat the community like they do tbh.
