It’s inevitable at this point. The only solutions are maybe bigger maps, and definitely just getting used to it.
I personally can’t get used to the new top tier right now because for me it’s really laggy in fps which makes it harder to be aware of your surroundings, so until I get my new PC I’m going to be playing lower tier jets.
Sorry to say that but thats not true. Bigger maps will end the same but you need to flight 8mins instead of 5 to get to the action (those numbers are a bit to big but just to make clear what i mean) There are some bigger maps in the rotation but thats even worse. What could help is when we get more airfields all over the place so that we get more of a front line rather than just a blob of enemies.
I’d suggest bigger maps and a more spread out frontline, with more varied objectives. if you only stretch out the frontline you still end up having people engaged seconds after taking off, and said frontline collapsing right away at the slightest imbalance leading to airfield camping. Especially with the addition of Amraam-C and better missiles, whose No-Escape Zone would make most of the map unuseable given the current map sizes. I think the current EC maps are the minimum for size at top tier, so one has space to get to altitude and position, or evade fighters if you like playing strike aircraft. I remember there being a leak about strategic bomber testing being considered even
The problem with this is that most ppl want more arcady games. Long matches won’t make the avergae player enjoy the game more they want action and thats the problem.
To be honest, just fix actual Fox 3. MICA is 80km range, yet we get 50km. The wobling makes the range absolutely shit. And from what I know MICA is worse than AIM120C, but on par with Early variant. MICA NG is there the match the AIM120C, and METEOR to beat everything.
We get a rafale with the lowest amount of missile in top tier, with the best radar, but no missile to make a difference. Older radar with AIM120 will inevitably kill a rafale with AESA, because mica over 20km is a miss in real condition. When AMRAAM is 30km.
If MICA has proper range, yes it is powerful, but France is a minor nation, i would rather see a minor nation dominating than a Top nation. And with only 6 missiles (4 if we can carry IR missile), it won’t be such a thing.
It is, also france,china and russia dosen’t have it. My R-77 maybe can get a target from 13km at best same time while the F-15s launch their missels from 30+ km.
Personally, R-77-1/RVV-SD better AIM-120 AMRAAM early variants
I might expect gajin not nerf R-77-1/RVV-SD and not worse AIM-120 early variants (such as AIM-120A, AIM-120B, AIM-120C-3 & AIM-120C-4) but better AIM-120C-5
I don’t mind gajin decompressed battle rating to 14.3 before add R-77-1 on MiG-29SMT (9-19) sometime 2025
I might believe gajin decompression max battle rating to 14.3 in january 2025 before add AIM-120C-5 forEF-2000 (DEU) & F-2000A (ITA) tranche 2 Blk 10 and Typhoon FGR.4 (RAF)
