Yeah, I recall having that on that map like a year ago. Has been reported a 1000x I think
Are the clouds really low again? I crashed my jet twice because they were so low that I couldn’t find where the base was when I tried to bomb it on the Sinai map with dumb bombs.
The bases on the lower ground are always clear of cloud. A lot of the map is pretty much at sea level and the cloud base is 3000’/1000m above sea level even with heavy cloud cover, as I remember it. CCRP and a decent HUD are useful when it comes to attacking bases on the higher ground. It may not be representative weather for Sinai, but it can be worked around, even usefully exploited by some aircraft.
but instead gaijin decides to do:
-nothing
isnt this the second round of br changes in which we get nothing? did the air sim team get all moved to aces of thunder or something?

Yep
That is my guess too. Only explanation for the fact Air Sim has been totally abandonned by the devs
Probably, i also wouldn’t be suprised if they kill sim mode entierly if aces of thunder doesnt flop since they gave it flatscreen support. Im currently in heavy dooming state regarding war thunder sim.
Don’t think it’s the second; the Su-17M2 was moved down from 10.7 to 10.0 very recently. I know because I was on the verge of starting to spade it in a 10.7 line up. Bit disappointed, TBH, because the change made the 10.0 Su-7BKL totally redundant. The M2 is significantly better than the BKL (full ballistic comp, more loadouts inc laser-guided missile, R-60 AAMs v dumb bombs, roks only, CCIP for roks alone and no guided munitions or AAMs).
Maybe nothing was changed because every BR in sim is ‘just right?’ Yea, that’ll be the reason.
ah, did some digging and yeah you are right, i thought there was Planned Battle Rating changes for March 2025 with no air sim changes and now month later still same thing happens, but there was a feburary update with air sim br changes.
it doesnt matter anyway, because as @Morvran pointed out before, we need bracket changes, give 13.3 some breathing room (some planes not even having fox 3’s at 13.3), and give 12.3 its day to shine
I usually see some people in sim lobbys saying “ITS PVE” after someone kills another players aircraft.
I don’t understand why they do this
How can the F-4J(UK) still be at 12.0? It’s the exact same aircraft as the other British F-4’s which are at 11.3. It’s so much worse than the US F-4J and F-4S that has the AIM-7F!, HMD, better RWR and HUD yet sit at the same BR. No IFF or band-detection on the RWR, so friends and enemies all are ‘?’. No modern HUD. Both the RWR and HUD are game-changers for SIM, so how is this possible?
No agile-eagle leading edge flaps (which F-4S has) and no built-in gun so you need the gunpod. FGR.2 has the British Spey engines which give much more thrust, acceleration and top speed at low level.
Only in 2 out of 8 days the F-4J(UK) will face a downtier and in 6 of 8 days it’s together with 12.7 with F/A-18’s so completely unplayable in SIM! 2 days it’s even in 13.0 facing Fox-3’s!
Out out F-4J (12.0), F-4S (12.0), FGR-2 (11.3) and FG-2(11.3) the F-4J(UK) has the worst of everything. Missiles, HMD, RWR, avionics, engine. Yet it’s still at 12.0.
Well, they stubbornly hold on to their erroneous belief that they could dictate how you should play that game mode.
Report them if they harrass you with it.

Br changes are really a joke, Gaijin doesn’t care at all, they just deleted the column about ASB battles

There was a column before, but it was empty. So why keep it in if not needed?
They will add it again when there will be new changes for Sim.
The problem is that there are changes that would be necessary and they do nothing, some planes would deserve to change Br in sim, unless I am mistaken in the “feedback” there were still several dozen posts concerning aircraft that should change Br and nothing was done, and this for the second consecutive time since no change had been made during the last change

Yes, and even more importantly I think the rotations should be reworked: We atm have three BR’s that never are on top, which is especially painful for 12.3 and most of all 13.3…

Well, what hope there was for new BR brackets or even some SB BR changes has gone, time to wait another 3 months
A blog regarding incoming updates was just published and not a single word about Air Sim. They surely want Air Sim players to unite, get organized and do something like what caused the roadmaps two years in a row
when new cockpit update :(

Well, hopefully the falklands map is an EC map for Air Sim and the fuel dump mechanic will be quite useful in ASB to allow you to run larger fuel loads but still land with appropriate fuel wieghts should you need to RTB early. In stuff like the Harriers to Carrier VTOL you need to be below about 14 minutes of fuel to hover and i’ve had a few hairy landings in the Tornado and Jaguar where i’ve aborted a sortie and RTBed straight away and landing with near full internal fuel is actually quite tricky.
Also out of all the gamemodes where SEAD could be intergrated, ASB is the best, so I hope the testing going on at the moment will lead to SEAD gameplay as part of ASB.
But yes. Many core issues havent been addressed yet and there has been an annoying amount of ghosting in recent weeks about the plans for ASB in the future.
Maybe @magazine2 could clue us into any planned development (not necessarily specifics, just cough twice if there is something in the works) for ASB in the coming major update(s). Would be greatly appreciated.
