Ill start with the flair issue as its not a bit of a decompression issue. When i am looking back at the enemy jet with the freelook key+ mouse, while also manouvering using the keyboard i am unable to launch flairs, i must first release the free look key to then be able to deplo flairs. This is a problem as to successfully flair missles you must see which direction it is approaching, maneuver appropriately and release flairs in the opposite direction to fool the missle. This is rather difficult to do when you are unable to look at the missle, i have not had this problem in the past, only a few days ago when i started playing air rb again.
2- i am finding it unbearable to play 8.0 Sweden at the moment, and this is not only for this nation, i kept a tally of game brs i received and on average i got 1 in 8 games that where 8.3 while the rest are 8.7 or 9.0. This was done over 30 games, utilitising sweden 8.0, britain and russia. I am in no way a new player, but i truly believe this bracket of the game is too compressed. I play 8.7 russia, britain, usa and france regularly and never have a problem in a full uptier as the tanks technologies are not all that unsimilar. However the tanks at 7.7-8.0 have such a large technological gap compared to 8.3 that tanks at 8.0 feel absolutely useless, i am specifically talking about the t54s and centurion mk10s and its variants. Is there any advice, maybe i should play as support only around team mates? only defensively? This is not an issue i have faced in any other br regardless if it is a full uptier or not. Maybe i should do further research and make a suggestion for appropriate decompression? But maybe this will fall on deaf ears, much like the King tiger P and m26 being at the same BR as their far better upgraded models.
