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

ur just jealous

M8 you do realise that the only way they can reduce the RP cost, right ?

wdym

Imagine the grind for rank IX. You want to either eliminate the entire enemy team and their AI or blow up every base, and what looks like a base(might be a school), to progress the research. For ground idk.

more ranks wont lower the rp costs, its quit the opposite

No? The Swiss Hornet is the F/A-18C. A Legacy Hornet, not a Super Hornet

What about SPICE bombs? These will be handy for bomb grinding, gonna drop them on the civvie spaces to deny airport repair on sim. Also for SIM those funky Russian glide bombs gonna be funny, trying to get a lottery draw to get someone on the runway. Not sure if they can be carried by anything in game however.

Because a new rank and the top will be the same 400,000 but below will have something like a 50,000 or 100,000 RP cost reduction.

  • F-16I has PW229 engine, better radar, more CMs;
  • F-15I adds late weaponry and AESA;
  • F-16C Blk 30 provides the best WVR performance of all F-16 variants and since it can get DASH HMD aswell as Python 4 it could be a real troublemaker;
  • F-15IA is obvious since its Israeli F-15EX;

Yeah but Im not gonna try convincing gaijin to introduce SPICEs and popeyes. Would be cool but I would doubt they gonna get them.

f15i should already have 120C and python 4, adding another f15i β€œlate” will be a total gimmick

still more capable than the f18a, so they will have to start from f18c

SPICE could already be added to F-16D and F-15I as they got them very early in service

I know you were just joking, no worries.

But anyway, I have nothing to be jealous about:

f15ex isnt even in service with the USA much less with israel, and knowing israel they will modify f15ex likle they did with everything else so they cant rlly add it

Well the thing is Israel literally operates F-15I (late) with AESA radar, new DL and newer weapons so its a valid research option for the future.

These are rougly better than X-38MTs stat wise(with a huge warhead), which is pretty potent, also less broken since they are huge and easier to shoot down, the raam and barak/sufa can also only carry two. Still Id choose brimstones for GR4 since thats whats more neccessary now.

theres no f15I β€œlate” they just upgraded the ones they had which were already upgraded and totally different from the standard american f15e, so they can just add new modifications to the current f15i

That seems a lot of RP, same here. PLZ05 first, then ROSA&INOSA, then it gets tedious with GR.4 and raam, also gotta get the 5EI.

You’re thinking of Popeye or SPICE 250. SPICE 2000 could be added this patch and wouldnt be gamebreaking
