The BR rotation changes every 48 hours. If you wait, there will be either a 12.0-13.0 or 12.3-13.0 bracket and it will alternate between being uptiered vs 14.0s and being downtiered. We also really want a 13.3 bracket to get added where it should operate semi-okay.
Though I have absolutely no answer for you as to why its 13.0 in SB and not 12.7.
thank you, you helped me alot actually!
ill wait untill it changes to 12.0/12.3-13.0
Yep, But I chucked this into the BR change thread as well:
Its very strange for it to be 13.0 without IRCCM like equivalent 13.0 F-16As
yeah and it confused me because its weird
I think its just the Python-3s. They are very good for Non-IRCCM missiles and its a bit of a "legacy BR"back when IR missile dogfighters were the meta and the Netz has been in the game long before IRCCM was even a thing. So its always been one of the strongest IR dogfighters right up until the Gripen A and later the Belgium F-16A with IRCCM were added. But 13.0 is a total mess of a BR and could do with being decompressed.
yeah, also thanks again, and i hope they will fix it lol
I just tried SA-2 SAMs in custom battles.
I wish they replace Roland 1 airfield SAMs to them for punish rocket zombers. Also, it looks ways harder to dodge.
As I understand, they are planning to add new missions/events (Afganistan and Golan Heights maps) with these new S-75 SAMs next week.
More than happy to have something hard to fight, but just hope they aren’t impossible to deal with. We don’t want death spheres just danger zones
Oooh… Just hoping they actually come to SB
reward its a joke and lof of plane br is wrong in higher brs
Yeah, me too. I tested these missiles. Looks like they are launched at 23km, but their effective range is much bigger.
Even with current SB maps these SAMs should be fine. Much more protection of airfields.
Yep, though im more interested in their resistance to CMs. It would be frustrating if the only defence was MP or kinematics. I like a good loft attack against an AF with the Tornado, but it would be annoying if that wasnt possible anymore because I was instantly sniped out the air by a SAM even if im deploying copious amounts of chaff.
Though having to engage in SEAD before attempting such an attack would in itself be interesting. As long as they didnt instantly respawn
The best answer to correct this problem is to create a permanent Br bracket from 12.7 - 13.0. This would force period appropriate fighters to face each other. Players on the red side would access to semi active missiles and would face vehicles with semi active missiles most of the time. The best way to balance the F15A, F16ADF, JAS39A, and F14 B is to bring the first generation SU27/J11 and SU 33 down to 13.0. This would also provide an intermediate tier for players to get used to IRCCM missiles and evading semi active missiles.
The 13.3 -14.0 should be a permanent Br Bracket to allow planes with fully active missiles to face each other. The over all environment in at top tier is chaotic with everyone multipathing 30 ft - 50ft off the deck and spamming missiles. The planes with semi active missiles are severely disadvantaged by losing lock while having to notch. The Su 27/J11 and Su33 with only R27ER are losing to look and shoot MICA-EM and the endless spam of Aim 120A/B.
Except for the fact that would kill 75% of ARH slingers because they wouldnt be able to do anything against the 14.0s.
aircraft like the FA2, AV-8B+, Kfir C10, Viggen Di, etc should be the same BR as the F-15A, Griepn A, F-14A/B, etc.
A permament 12.7-13.0 bracket would just result in 12.7s and 13.3s getting screwed
But all of the 12.7 are competitive to the 13.0. All of the 13.3 are competitive to the 14.0
The planes listed are at the same br as the f15 A currently. I dont mind aim 120 busses at that br like the kifr c10, av8b or phantom ice
No 13.3 is “competitive” against the 14.0s and even a few 13.7s are hard pressed to actually truly fight the 14.0s.
At least I cant think of any way an Mig-29SMT would survive against a Typhoon or Tornado F3 would survive against an Su-30SM
Heck the J-11A is pretty DOA if it faces anything stronger than itself, which is nearly everything and its a 13.7
I think they need to add a mode where Player ships can be used in sim mode but yes, currently the rewards for going after naval targets is unacceptable.
Its also especially annoying that the Carrier doesnt give any reward for hitting it. Only sinking it.
I think my record was 2 full bomb runs from Buc S2, thats about 32’000lb of bombs before I got any reward
