Meet the “Firebirds” Major Update!

@Stona_WT @Smin1080p_WT
I think i speak on behalf of most of air sim players when I say that big red “MISSILE EVADED” prompts in air SB is not needed.

I understand we have new mechanics but sims is as much about skill to fly as it is about situational awareness in game w/o markers.

This text pop-up often warns you about attacks that you had no idea even happened - for example IR missile didn’t reach you, you accidently flared it (some planes have so many flares you can leave them on auto) or when radar guided missile miss but you do not have RWR.

Can you consider removing this pop up from sim?

Nice, it’s Good to fly the Superhind but there is a problem, bugs are starting to show.

I’ve gotten a bug where upon entering Gunner view it looks like I’m underwater or something, the screen becomes greenish and hazy, with fog making it literally impossible to see anything.

2 weeks delayed and still a buggy mess.

Looking at posts from air sim players who could play the game today, we were given the opposite of quality of life.

The new profile page is absolutely terrible, Im here since beta and after all these years I still cant understand why Gaijin tries so hard to change things that nobody wants changed.

This new profile simply hides everything many players grinded for years to show on the main screen of their profile: Medals, vehicles and spaded vehicles, stats, it was all there, fast and easy to see, on the first screen shown. Now the main screen profile have just half dozen meaningless totals of something Gaijin decides as your “favorite” mode and lots of empty space. The info is scattered, the vehicles/spaded are gone, everything is worse.

This needs to be reversed.

Its not even just those. Im getting “Reduce Speed” Warnings as well. It seems like they’ve enabled all the warnings for SB

Please Gaijin give me back the ability to check my KD. With the new kinda shitty profile you can’t check it at all!
Edit: Okay you can still check in Leaderboards… but why the extra step?
Edit2: Also when my favorite is Realistic Battle then why does the Service Record always start on Arcade?

Bring back the old aiming time for naval arcade. This was the only fun naval mode, as there was at least some class balance in the form of: Torp-boats/Destroyers>Battleships>Cruisers>Torp-boats/Destroyers. This sole update destroyed it, now battleships or whoever is at the top of food chain depending on BR kill everything in sight by pressing one mouse button.

Most importantly, did the playerbase ask to introduce this change?

This was the ONLY reason I ever played the game and since 2013. They’re really going to lose a lot of player on this unless it’s reversed.

They won’t lose any meaningful amount of players just because a profile change that most of the playerbase doesn’t have an opinion on.

Judging by about 70% of the comments just on HERE, I’d have to say you’re wrong. It’s a big deal.

Since the update, the spotting system seems very messed up…have to be really close to see the enemy and other enemies warp in to screw up the engagement. If I am close enough to see my teammate doing a gun attack on an enemy, I should be able to see the enemy…not as of the update.

I have also seen several instances of missiles launching and then disappearing and teleporting a significant distance to reappear.

You broke something I think.

I miss that they did away with the chart that showed your total number of vehicles unlocked and spaded for all nations. I am grinding evenly down all the trees this time, and it was handy for keeping track of who needed work. Now I need another spreadsheet… :(

I also think there’s a problem with the discovery system I think it’s a bug, but I think it’s a very embarrassing change if it was intended

Actually would prefer stats being shown as an optional opt-in/out setting. If its less easy to access now, then good, less “muh stats” arguments and I don’t have an overinflated ego anyways. Solid update.

Air RB as well. Just another feature that belongs in arcade, once again creeping in to the rest of the game.
