but anything can be strong in right hands like what ?
so if a bunch of experinced players play the HE-51 and get 3.0 kds should it be raised in br ? and when a new player plays it and doesnt do aswell should it be dropped ?
stat balancing is flawed fundamentally
F14B has a higher KD RATIO than the F15A, SU33, SU27, F2A ADTW so should we drop all these planes in BR ?
literally every minor nation
the su33 has never differed in BR from the su27 bro
it notably doesnt have the same loadout, it has aim54 genius
you would need a lot of people as that thing is played in decent amounts already
balancing is based around more than k/d
still less flawed than every other possible method
balancing based on the vehicles actual performance is how it should be done otherwise you get vehicles that baloon in br that arent worthy of those brs
for example 6.7 T44 being one
the SU33 wouldn’t be 13.0 if it wasn’t a squadron SU27 is just as op honestly
and the AIM-54 does not justify the BR increase F14B could easily Be a 12.7 without being absurd you can carry same amount of sparrows as the F/A-18A and carry same amount of 9Ls while having a worse radar and flight model
literally its a huge problem and they dont even always do it for example the SOUMA SM has had the highest KD of the 7.7 bracket for years and hasnt been raised its completely inconsistent
t44 is perfectly fine at 6.7 its a good tank
12.3-13.3 is still very compressed and neither the su33 or su27 should go up before that is fixed
cool, but you can also get free kills on any bad players at the start of the game
pretty sure thats the e-100 technically but also its not really that inconsistent, just because something is the best at a BR doesnt mean it needs to go up (also they use more than just K/D for balancing)
nope
Shouldn’t that be “relatively” easy to check? With g-forces shown on missiles in the sensor view of replays you could check how much the missiles pull at max (at least over a certain timespan, because if i had to guess the replays are probably a bit wonky and the numbers are jumping quite a bit) with setting a relatively slow replay speed for launches under all kinds of different launch parameters (speed at launch and altitude, different distances and alitudes of targets) at high offbore shots? (Not sure though if replays are available for custom matches, which would make testing like that much easier).
But i guess theres quite a lot of ppl around that already did something like that?
ah yes lets balance an aircraft assuming it always faces single celled organisms only capable of flying straight
Our brains are getting smaller or people are getting more maliciously dishonest. Call it.
9/10 its people who havent touched the f14 in years and have no idea simply how pitifully bad it has become. without a doubt the worst rank 8 ingame and its not close.
its the one of the only rank 8 aircraft which radar is so weak its missiles are useless in cold or side aspect, and both f14s are left without competitive fox 2s, which m2k with also no all aspect pd atleast have magic 2s
Do you honestly think it’s worse than the sea harrier fa2.
At least the f-14 keeps its gun if it wants to run more than 2 fox 3s
the airframe on the fa2 is bad but it gets much better weaponry. f14 has no teeth. weaponry is more important than fm in my experience
Even then it’s a gen 1 harrier air frame like the sea harriers or av8a/c and not the harrier 2s, and it has to give up its gun for more than 2 AMRAAMs which atp I’d much rather be in the f-14
Even then I’d still take f-14b over stuff like the f-20a or mirage 2kc5.
Probably not the f-14a though
why f20a, it has a better radar and is at a lower br, that with the same exact weapons as f14b just less of em.
i would like to point out that i base myself solely on ARB perfomance, f14s work fine in sim cause majority of sim players dont even attempt to dodge fox 3s in my experience, only multipath.
forgot to mention that it isnt 13.0 so it doesnt see all the much better aircraft it does in arb
Only the Mirage 2000-5F and Ei have normal PD radar; all others still have HDN radar
i mentioned that m2ks also only have hdn pd
The translator is rubbish
At least with the f-14 when you go against the premium spam who are braindead players I find that the phoenix works well enoug, and with the f-14 having a large loadout while other planes just don’t have a big enough loadout to be effective like the 29 in arb and asb.
Ofc against actual experienced players mirage 2kc5 better but for average gameplay f-14 better
