No thanks. Radar missiles already take away game fun. I’d even like to see generic multipath level of 250m. Game would profit from it. Currently far too many radar missile kills, like 90%. No dogfights, no IR missiles…just green lock boxes and jets slinging radar missile from high alt. Ground gameplay impossible. I want Top Gun movie gameplay, not that BS we currently have ingame. Shooting at green brackets is just not fun.

i’d rather instead of “late” and “early” MP heights, but to actually model realistic MP heights, iirc Skyflash should outperform R-27ER and other Sparrows in this remit by a hefty margin

Indeed. I always never make it to bomb bases anymore. MP is set too low. In 4/5 matches I get radar missiled from above before I drop on any base. Thats why corrections are needed. There should be a safe space above the ground for players going for objectives. Right now radar bs is too opressive. I fly as low as even possible. Often below tree top level (if possible). But I don’t make it anymore. Its depressing, its almost not possible to make some SL with bases.

You know you would get more SL from playing the game instead of basically AFK farming, and somehow being bad enough to fail at that
overall very for this change.
50m is too high for most things. I want there to be more depth over 50m ground hugging.
I just want to play Air RB like it was before multipath dropped to 50m. Imho I think they changed it a bit more than just 50m. Base bombing is almost not feasible anymore. Mica or AIM 120 seem to knock you out even when you fly very, very low… AIr RB used to be an importing SL and RP pump for me. Its really complicated now.
I just want to play like oidtimes: As long a s you were lawnmoving, you were almost 100% safe from radar stuff. You just had to deploy flares and evade gun runs. Was much better, you almost always reached bases or gunned down some pillboxes.
One has to ask what all these ground objective are good for in the current state of Air RB. Some guys flying high and lob down radar guided missile lock everything down.
so go down to below 12.0 where FOX 1 generally sucks.
good. its a leftover from bombers at low tier and is abused by noobs to brute force up to top tier.
you mean like when the free tomcat event happened and air was absolute trash?
I guess you need to realize that air rb is just no serious game mode for alot ppl.
Like 25 jets are thrown together in a rather small area with predictable positions and vectors. Even with perma airspawn now!!! Ground objectives often crammed in a single map square. Then starting to throw myriads of radar missiles against each other. While markers reveal almost all enemy ground players (??)…npc spottings etc.
WTF is this? The only reason I’m playing these Colosseum-like fights are bases and pillboxes and the relatively good RP/SL payout…compared to Air Arcade or Ground modes. So, imho there should be some protective mechanics which allow NPC grinders to do their job.
so dont follow the obvious vector when base bombing. its not hard, I was taking enough napalm on my hornet A to get it mostly spaded at first as its really not hard to do. I then went and dealt with aircraft (which is real easy in a hornet btw)
if you want to blindly base bomb then simulator is probs where you should go.
Well, bases and other ground objectives are just present in GRB. There SHOULD be some mechanics to make it feasible to go after them.
Otherwise Gajin could just add blank maps with generic landscapes with dull fighter heavy teams shooting themselves out of the sky with ludicrous radar missiles in under 5 minutes.
If anything why don’t they make an air superiority mode or proper DM? And ofc only A-A loadout allowed.
And add a ticket race for bombers and strikers? The team that depletes the tickets first wins. SIM respawn , air kills…don’t count but viable to slow the opponent, only A-G loadouts allowed.
I’m of the people that think that if you add something and ask me to grind for it (because to even advance in some TTs you have to research them and for GFs as well).
Current RB as it is? It really depends… Personally i play way more seriously in events.
The markers you say for example, is big let down for me… S.E.A.D event without markers was clearly superior format. WW mode dogfights , without markers …i couldn’t stop playing. The gunfight event that leveled the playing field between stock and weapons researched vehicles i had so much fun.
