Air Simulator Battles - General Discussion / Support HUB

Again, wrong.

If you look at the lobbies. most of redfor is playing 11.3/11.7 where they have very powerful premiums like the Tornado WTD61, Mig-23ML and Su-39. Look at bluefor and thier premiums are things like the F-4S, F-20, F-18, etc. All 12.0+ aircraft.

so its the lack of premium redfor aircraft at that bracket, which neither the Germans, Soviets or Chinese have.

Well… Move the F-15A to 13.3 and add a 13.3 bracket and you get the gameplay you want

and?

Everyone is just playing the premium F-18 at the moment, so most lobbies are all vs all. Look at US and Sweden (with the Viggen DI premium) on both teams

I killed 21 of them they suck

There are serious skill issues on blue side. Significant issues… At 13.0 to 12.0 people chose to not play red side due to team composition not player skill level.

There aren’t any planes on red side that have a flight model and avionics model that is competitive at that br.

If blue side had to face the su33 and su27 they would have an appropriate challenge.

Or move the Su27, J11 and Su33 down to 13.0 so that they face blue side.

and then we should also move down aircraft like the Tornado F3 Late as well. If we are just moving every 13.3 to 13.0, then why not just add a 13.3 bracket?

This is what I would do for the brackets

That’s what support and ambush means morvran. Sitting with your radar off then third partying players.

Okay, So im in a Tornado F3 with only Aim-9Ms because I have my radar off. I cant dogfight anything because i’ve got the worst FM, I cant use AMRAAM without switching my radar on. I haven no HMD or IRST to help find targets. What Am I actually meant to do?

If we are balancing flight models then just move the tornado f3 down to Vietnam tier. It is a modern fighter it has a crap flight model so find a way to get kills with it before the merge.

Im pretty sure the tornado f3 could beat a f4E at 10.7

But the Tornado F3 is NOT at 14.0 aircraft. Its 13.3 and probably should be 13.0 alongside the F4F-ICE.

So if there was a 12.3-13.3 bracket, then this isnt an issue, it will face aircraft it actually stands a chance against like the Su-27 and F4F-ICE. By forcing it to fight 14.0s, it will loose every fight because it is not 14.0 material. By that logic, the F-15A should be 14.0 because it can just third party kills.

Sure, i’ll take the Tornado F3 Late with Aim-9M and AMRAAMs at 10.7, sounds like fun

Well how about this create a 12.7 - 13.3 permanent br so that you never have to face the scary 14.0 aircraft. 12.3 phantoms shouldn’t have to face modern gen 4 fighters. Leave 12.3 out of this. Move the f14 A and mirage 2000 up to 12.7 and call it a day.

Again, no. Now 12.7s are forced to always fight 13.3s and you’d create another set of messy BRs below 12.3 meaning 11.7/12.0s would likely only ever fight 12.3s. Fixed brackets dont work. They would cause more problems than they create.

The solution is something like this;

This way, with the exception of 13.7, every BR gets at least one rotation where it is on top. This rotation could have been implemented 4 months ago and would fix a lot of problems.

Just also need to move some 12.3s to their correct BRs and maybe move a few 13.0s back up to 13.3 and sorted. When 14.3 gets added, there might be a solution available to give 13.7s their own bracket

This is how its been for the past 3 years and its worked fine

11.7 like the mig 23 mld, ja37 and mirage f1 face the scary phantom gr 2 all day. Sign me up

Mig-23MLD is way scarier than the Phantom FGR2 which are both 11.3 and they already do. Why do you think Redfor mostly play 11.3/11.7 brackets. Bluefor doesnt really get anything Mig-23ML/MLD performance until 12.0

Iranian f14 A vs 13.3 doesnt sound bad at all. Mirage 2000 s4 and f16A vs 13.3 doesnt really scare me. Youre talking about numbers as if they are scary. Im talking about planes. Be more specific.

Yep so it balances its self out

Im sorry PD skyflashes isnt considered easy enough game play for you? What do you want an Aim 120?
