Greetings!
I want to say a few words about this mod.

In general, it all started with the fact that I felt some kind of stagnation in my evening gatherings playing my favorite mods, which at the moment are Damocles mod and mod Zone of Continuos Fire.
The gameplay in them, in my opinion, is the most pleasant, believable and fun, and what causes my keen interest: I am often surprised by the bots there, which sometimes act unconventionally and even sometimes manage to trick me around their finger. In such truly WTF moments, there is a feeling that I am playing with live players. I do not know what the mod creators did with AI there, but it's really fun when you first get angry and then laugh at yourself. I even recorded several webcam videos for myself and I will say that it's even more fun to look at myself in such emotions.

These are really my favorite mods. The core of course is taken from the beautiful AIX mod, which used to be my old favorite, because I liked absolutely everything there. But these two mods have significantly embellished the gameplay and now they are played better than our favorite AIX mod.

But I recently thought that it's still not worth dwelling on these two beautiful houses, and since I'm a fan of BF2, it means it's worth exploring other mods, of which there are plenty for this game and it's worth watching something else.
I didn't like a lot of mods that I downloaded. Very often it happened that small arms were made perfectly, but the vehicles is often nondescript or even broken physics of movement, helicopters are very unstable in flight. In short, I tried and removed many different mods that I didn't like for various reasons.

I came across the Firebird mod and downloaded it without much interest. But when I launched it, I played for probably 6 hours without stopping, forgetting that I actually have to go to bed.
First of all, I appreciated what I always pay attention to: these are aircrafts and vehicles. And I can immediately say that all this is on top.
Still, I perceive Battlefield as a game where war reigns in all its manifestations. Like a rock-paper-scissors game, when everything can destroy everything, rather than just a shootout of one team with another.By the way, I changed a lot of things in those mods for a brighter gameplay. I increased the speed of shells and missiles there to make it a little more realistic. I couldn't not raise it too much, otherwise the balance would collapse and it would become uncomfortable. Even then I thought that I would like to make such a mod, with a more realistic approach, but without restrictions and that excessive hardcore for me, which is offered by some good mods like Project Reality or AIX Reality.

A fun, but slightly more realistic game.
And I can say now that Firebird has hit the spot.
Very pleasant aircrafts, shells and missiles fly as fast as in reality, IFVs have ceased to be so defenseless against aviation, tanks have become much more dangerous, their destruction is now really a small victory.
I also like to choose shells on the tank for effective shooting at different targets.
I really hope this will appear in the BMP in the next versions of the mod.
Small arms are quite good, there are different sights, everything as it should be in good mods and there are also here.

In general, I am happy with the mod.
I will look at other maps.
So far, I haven't really been into editing. The only thing I changed from the Kiowa helicopter gun parameter Helicopter Red Projectile to machine gun 50BMG, because the Kiowa machine gun 50 caliber M3. The sound is now perfect and in general otherwise plausible.

Many thanks to the author of the mod! I will follow the updates and even support you with my coin.

All the best! Peace and tranquility to all!
