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

btw it’s already 16/11 and I’m starting to wait for some december leaks (I’m anxious, I know)

For GRB, definitely, mostly for payload and ability to do stand-off. I don’t disagree at all.

This will be good for a time, but I think we will need/should have a dedicated SPAA spawn, that is like 5.0km away from the front lines with good obstacles and coverage from long fire. It will force SPAA players to move right away, as their envelope will not be as good, give CAS the ability to make some initial strikes along the front, and ultimately put SPAA in positions CAS players like myself will not expect, and have to spend time countering.

Gajin ready new gen targeting pod for 3 american aircraft rank 7 ~ 8 in 5th major update ?

As far as I know, the latest date for a November update was tht 17th? So even if it’s next week, we’re not too far off

I hope we see the SNIPER pod soon, lots of aircraft could receive it. I want it most for the A-10C, we should be able to mount 3 Mavs next to it then instead of only 1

hopefully, along with the other stuff you said

Yeah more than enough for 2077 i think and crush WT xD

I was looking at something similar then decided “nah I will wait for the 5090 series”, then certain words like tariff and things have happened and I am now looking at my bank account thinking

“well, this might have been a bad choice to wait” xD

For now though, I shall hold out with my 1060 strix and hopium. (honestly i am surprised this cards survivied what, 8 years?)

Let em cook … you’ll only complain about a rushed update anyway. Its not like you don’t have 2k+ vehicles to grind in the mean time. (if its late and still sucks by all means be annoyed)

I wouldn’t expect the 5th major update devblogs to start for about two weeks after Firebirds drops.

The issue though is they likely dont want to push too far back into holiday season given you know, the devs want to go on holidays too lol.

Sure they do.

But just from the last few years of updates, the December updates’ devblogs generally start at the very end of November or the beginning of December itself.

So unless we know for certain that Firebirds is coming out in the last week of November (forgive me if that’s been confirmed, I’m a bit out of the loop) I seriously doubt that the devblogs could possibly start as soon as Firebirds is released.

F-15E used Sniper XR targeting pod

For F-16C Block 50 equipped Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod - Sensor Enhancement (ATP-SE)

But F-16AM Block 15 MLU carried PANTERA pod (export of the Sniper XR)

Personally, it probably AN/AAQ-28(V) Litening AT ( Advanced Technology) and enough for A-10C

We’ve delayed the laughing

Another issue is that I think planes should atleast 25km away from the battlefield, it’s ridiculous that pilots may spawn within range of SPAA and immediately go defensive because on almost all maps they are within range of platforms like the Pantsir, and on some maps even out within range of the Ito and Tor

Stop being funnier than me >:(

I disagree with that rule from Gaijin. One ship in one refit I can understand, a ship being unable to appear in multiple trees I disagree with. Fundamentally this is an Italian ship not a Soviet/Russian one, just one that the USSR used if it has to go in a singular tree, then it should go to Italy, the USSR actually has ships applicable that could be added in this space (such as one of Kronshtadt’s sisters in their intended configuration, or a modernised Gangut).

If there were 5 of them I’d understand but I view this as the theft of an Italian ship that could give them a full top tier lineup (even though perhaps these ships aren’t top tier worthy).

It’s pretty much Orion but with the superheavy capable mountings found on Marlborough and Queen Mary, its relatively little yes, but it takes it from being Orion with meh armour and meh guns, to meh armour and good guns.

I just read that she was considered to be the most beautiful (perhaps warship rather than just ship) due to her resemblance to these aforementioned oceanliners, to be honest I’m not sure which I prefer, though I think Derfflinger might take the prize?
