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

In the absence of any FnF abiltiy then I think the missile just hitting the last known location if the laser is switched off / you are actively defending against a threat and lost tpod lock and it stilll hitting that spot (even if it has to be within 5km) wouldnt be entirely unreasonable (as far as I am aware, the IOG on the hellfire is totally wrong and ahs been reported such for months, it should work the same as bombs and hit the last known location just fine, same is probably true of the Brimstone)

That being said, I think they should be given the seeker head from the ePaveways. Cant track a moving target but can be rippled fired off at static targets at long range or guided onto a single moving target with the laser spot. I think it would be a fair middile ground if FnF like the Kh-38 or AGM-65 is deemed too OP

I THINK THAT THE SU-34 AND F-15E HAVE COMPLETELY DISRUPTED THE AIR-GROUND BALANCE, ESPECIALLY THE SU-34. There is no way to deal with them except armor and fighters. Even fighter jets may not be able to shoot them down, such as the F-4 ICE

which I just find so funny that 9 brimstones that dont one shot, dont work at all with LOG, dont actually reach their maximum range, and take a full minute from just 15km as well as having a terrible arc of fire “are to op”

yet the KH38, takes less then a minute from 20km, actually fired from 20kms, doesn’t have a massively restricting firing arc, can one shot any tank, LOG is good enough to hit targets in smoke, and if the target leaves the smoke it will require them, oh and obviously after all of that they are Fire and Forget

like how does gaijin look at those 2 and be like, “yep brimstones are to op and you have a skill issue if you dont do well with them”

Yeah, Su-34 should jsut be limited to the laser guided variants of the KH-38

What is this powercreep on the sim repair cost?
I thought we were over these high repair cost…

the fact the Tornado Gr1 is at 11.3 in ground and the Gr4 is an entire BR higher im just gonna keep the Gr1 and use it to get down BRs with the 11.3 line up

GRB battle ratings for aircraft are a total mess that its not just the GR4 that screwed. Though quite frankly. with the extreme top tier compression. You’ll rarely get a downtier with an 11.7 ground line-up these days. Might as well use the GR7 or Gripen For CAS and the FA2 for CAP.

thats why I said ill just use the 11.3 challengers, there is a decent chance they get pulled down into the black whole that is 10.3 and 10.7

They are all now 11.7. but the aircraft never moved. So its a total mess.

Maybe get a lucky downtier, but I doubt it these days, Im planning to just play the 10.7s and not go any higher, at least for a good long while.

we have 11.3 challengers? i thought it was all 11.7+ now because the tes is obviously 11.7 and not 11.0 worthy.

Laser is not useable for it, as for balance, I think a IR KH-29 could work fine.
It’s said KH-29TD is a IR guided version, which is TV in game, someone submited issue but was rejected for too less information.

They literally have a laser+IOG variant on the Su-34s currently but why you would ever use them over the IR+IOG variant is beyond me,

The pod problem, you need to guide it and keep flying towords the enemy, because the pod have no side view.
It can be fired in 20km, but when it hit, su-25 is about 12km away, su-34 would be much closer.

Rank IV-VI sim repair costs are awfully high for almost no reason. It makes it much harder than it should be to even gain SL.

then thats just something russian players should have to deal with, because as we have shown, brimstones are far less broken then the KH38MT and if we cant get dumbed down FnF the Su34 really shouldnt have even better FnF missiles on a better platform that can defend itself

And? Su-34 doesnt exactly have to worry about Pantsirs and their speed means that the KH-38s will hit long before you get close

It needs some tweaks, should have the same RWR as rhe shar FA.2 so the tail needs redoing

Gaijin probably dont wanna give us a SAM at 10.3 that is just better then our one at 11.7 lol

With Su-34’s ground radar in GRB right now it’s not even an issue, it will guide Kh-38MLs in far away from any NATO SPAAs it will face can reply
