8.0 sweden advice + while freelooking i am unable to flair

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.

Sorry for the late reply, regarding the impossibility of launching flares while on free look is may be caused because you’re trying to press a third key at the same time, it may be a issue with my own keyboard, but I can’t, for example: turn the vehicle to right while accelerating and using free loom, you should create a detailed bug report at CBRS;

Battle rating 8.7 Sweden is something to discuss, I wouldn’t say it’s bad but isn’t as efficient compared to others, mostly composed of slow and unreliable vehicles like the Strv 104, Strv 103C and Ikv-91-105, on those you should try to keep distance from people, while in the ItPsv-90 you have to rely on the movement and your weapons, while in air, Sweden features a strong striker vehicles like the Saab-105G with a good set of weapons.

Thankyou i will try a bug report.

I am struggling with battle rating 8.0, i have yet to reach 8.7. 8.7 vehicles for sweden look amazing to me and the lineup is great. 8.0 however i have been really struggling with, I have half spaded some of the vehicles and they are a little less frustrating.


I got a nuke with the strv101, im starting to like it even though its a slow tank, i really depsite the lack of mobility on vehicles. Im a very aggresive player who likes to move around alot. But i think i will learn to play slow with time
