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

The C-1 has clipped wings, giving it slightly less mobility, and I read that it also has a slighter more powerful engine.

Both, neither, and all three.

improved comtrol may make it up.

Equipment with such as AN/APG-73 RUG I radar, AN/AAS-38B pod, IR AIM-9L & AIM-9M-8, SARH AIM-7P Blk II, AIM-120 AMRAAM (AIM-120B/AIM-120C-4/AIM-120C-5), AGM-65E & AGM-65F Maverick and AGM-154A JSOW. My guess

USMC F/A-18C+ or F/A-18C late (AN/APG-73 RUG II or AN/APG-79(V)4 AESA) ?

It’s impossible for the update to be today, as there still isn’t a technical post

Bro all this delay to get ray tracing to work, something only a fraction of the community will realistically want to/have the resources to use Xd

Just ship it later, with the december update or something smh

Gaijin - releases 1 vehicle just to prove wrong

A man can dream.

Real but in my humble opinion we should not buff the AIM-120 :3

Instead, the PL-12 should be buffed to somewhere between the AIM-120C-1 and C-5 level, the AAM-4 should be buffed to C-5 level, and the Derby, R-Darter, and MICA EM should get less drag.

If it is as bad as it was on the dev server I won’t even be able to run it lmao I have a RTX 3060 ti which is better than (at least to my knowledge) a lot of peoples graphics cards.

The 3060 ti isn’t top of the line by any means, however it’s still a very powerful GPU, so really it should be enough for anything released today. The snail always finds a way, however.

I mean I think when stuff like the AIM-120C-1/3 come in the PL-12 should be updated same with the AAM-4 but atm the AIM-120, AAM-4, PL-12, and all those (with the exception of the R-Darter and imo R-77) should stay as they are rn and not receive buffs.

The R-Darter and Derby are almost identical, with the former being slightly heavier, so if one is buffed, the other should also. As for the MICA, it’s objectively the best at close range, however it’s far from great at medium range. I’ve had trouble getting it to hit targets only 15km away in good conditions sometimes.

I have a joke pitch for Gaijin; how about you open another dev server?

Why not have two more?

They should just change the name of PL12 to SD10, since they are all compatible and SD10 is quite inferior, with PL12 going to newer planes allowing no raise in BR for already existing jets like J10A and JF17.

Oh I know the 3060 Ti isn’t the best I actually am only using it because of stuff that happened with recent hurricanes that destroyed my 4070 Ti-Super but if they don’t fix ray tracing or at least improve the overall performance issues with the last dev server they should just hold that. Rn the most used graphics card is the base RTX 3060 (at least according to the Steam Hardware Survey) and being unable to run the game on high-ultra settings during the dev server WITHOUT ray tracing was inexcusable when I’m currently running at nearly the highest graphical settings in game and averaging 120+ FPS.

Drop the update already ffs!!

Correct I believe the R-77, R-Darter, and Derby should be buffed as they stand they feel honestly terrible compared to other countries ARH missiles.

100% agree with that
