Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Now THAT would be cool!

Sadly, I don’t think such big update will be coming- at least it wouldn’t seem so going by the current Dev Blog clips, unless they didn’t showcase the new engine improvements on these.

So even more connection to why we can have the F-117

yeah and they kicked y’all’s ass and got their freedom

Though Jordan has a lot of tech related to the UK, and its military IIRC had pretty strong ties to the British and were often trained by the British, which would give Jordan a pretty close tie to the UK overall.

I mean look at the Swiss Hunter, nothing to do with Germany, but the Germans got it because the Germans didnt have a vehicle with the same capabilities.

When it comes to the Centurion LPT, the US already has its own domestic designs of the same baseline from which to choose, so I 100% assume if it did ever come, it would likely be plonked into the UK tree with other centurion/challenger/CVRT based tanks that the Jordanians use/adapted, because home UK wouldnt have “similar” and it would allow those wanting to play Jordan to have it all “in house”.

Then again gaijin could ofc just put a bunch of CVRTs, Challengers and Centurion variants into the US tree and see American fans complain about getting them instead of domestic equipment xD

Gaijin is an interesting thing, a lot of very interesting design choices come from them.

like, a couple of basic EGs… where would

go?

or

(EDIT: honestly if they dont go UK, I just want them to be kept together, 1 of the things I really hated/worried about early on was when a nations equipment just got hap-hazardly spread across 3 tech trees)

Now that we have reliable leaks for the additions over the next few weeks, it no longer appears that the " Dreams Come True " vehicle will be an aircraft.

That also lowers the possibility of a Naval vehicle being the low Rank prize in the subsequent W.I.N.T.E.R. event; since it appears that the aircraft prize is being skipped in the rotation for next month, it might be possible to conclude that there will be two aircraft prizes in the end-of-year event, which was normal for previous years’ four-vehicle-prize marathon events.

That would also mean the next most likely time for the next dedicated Naval event could be February 2025, since it 's possible that January could be used to " make up " the " lost " Aircraft event that that would have, in theory, played out in the time used for Dreams Come True or W.I.N.T.E.R. 2024-25.

Willem III became king of England…so… UK subtree for BeNeLux. (With US subtree for UK under BeNeLux…under France)

After we get the Anglo-Saxon TT :)))

Scare the Italians off with that :P

Welp, technically, only half of the current U.S territories were British; the other half was Spanish, so…

Spanish tech tree with U.S subtree when? :P (we can split it up)

It thought the split was made with Portugal?

I meant the U.S subtree; split in subtrees across the U.K and Spanish tech trees :P

Ram 2/Skink treatment- we both get it all :3

LPT wasn’t ever sold though, so it wouldn’t make sense for Jordan to get it. Precedence wise, it has more in common with the 120S, and that is in the US TT. I don’t think arguing that because it’s technically a Centurion variant that it should go to the UK works either. the LPT is such a heavy modification that it may as well be seen as it’s own thing. By no standard can this be considered copy-paste in gameplay or technicality.

My personal thoughts on the F-117 is that it just… shouldnt ever come, same with stealth in general. I dont think the game is ready for it yet, and it only opens the door to stuff like the F-22 and F-35… which I very much do not want coming to the game.

(Simply because there is no competitor to them, the only somewhat-comparable is the J-20 since the SU-57 is a fucking joke.)

My issue isnt with the plane itself, moreso what it represents.

The door is already open, according to the long-term leaks. Of course Gaijin will eventually add the F-22 and F-35 and J-20 and Su-57, they’ll make a ton of money.

If the game is ever going to be “ready” for them, it is better to add something like the F-117 early and figure out how to implement stealth and how to make counters available.

I’m sure late Tranche Eurofighters and Rafales can do more than well enough

At least they do in real life on the combat exercises…

And we both know SU-57 will probably be way better ingame than we know it to be in real life, hahah.

Im fully expecting Typhoon to not have any issues locking a F-22 at long range but the SU-57 will be totally invisible to both radar and IRST even at point blank range

we talking about the same SU-57 lol? with the radar signature of a bus?
