Looking at it…
Sub-sonic
2x All-aspect missiles
Large CM count
but no radar or IFF but does have IRST (I think) (Tpod can be used to VID at longer ranges though is handy to have)
I think Id place it about the same as the Sea Harrier FRS1e at 10.7. Though gaijin is obsessed with the idea of guided weapons being of high value in air modes recently
That being said, does have a decent looking bomb load and can actually deal with things like convoys are stuff, so shouldnt be entirely discounted
Just tested. The flight model is not bugged at all it’s exactly the same as Alphajets.
-Loaded with bombs it is you can till 450 kph for CAS pass so tight turns for not loosing targets.
-Loaded with rockets 350kph.
The only bug he got is like the alpha jets, the rocket ballistic computer is litteraly false you have to aim far higher for hit targets.
Not surprising, considering it is designed as a light attack aircraft.
now looking also at this new update we got two vehicles wich are from the same role as the AMX , and got at the same br also, the su 24 and the a10C , both of them gets air-ground missiles are MUCH faster and have even better missiles then the AMX , but yet gaijin thinks they are equivalent
the AMX yet needs to face su27, mig 29, f14 etc on full uptiers wich is just impossible to play against and your not even going to reach the bases or ground targets when there is at least one of them flying …
Su24, Su25SM3, A10C better than J7D and J7E, you know? And Su24, A10C equal J8B. It’s okey
The A-10C much faster than the AMX ?
Anyways, A-10C is OP at 11.3, people can run away or die XD
Unfortunately, it still spins out of control after turning too hard even in Damping Mode.
Did you try it in Realistic or Sim battles. It wont spin out of control in Realistic, however in Sim it most definitely will. Even when damping is on.
I’ve got it, but yet to play it. I’ll have a go in it sometime this week and report back. See if I encounter the same issues
Cons:
MAA-1 and not AIM-9L (fast but fly straight for 1sec anbd smaller lead circel so it’s wore then the 9L in close range
AMX in tech tree (10,7) better bomb loadout
30mm defa not any better then the 20mm M61A1
LITENING will lose lock all the time making it useless as eegs lead (AMX got eegs aswell)
Totally agree it spin alot in SB ^^
It’s not going to go down. It’s obvious that this game mode will be shut down. They omitted changes to sim BR’s again, and it’s an apparent sign. They are just waiting for the player count to reduce some more, and that will be used as a justification. I’ve stopped trying to market WT to DCS players, too bad as the sales are approaching.
No, BR changes in Sim don’t happen with the same frequency as in the other game modes. This isn’t the first time, and doesn’t mean anything of that sort.
Sim gets BR changes usually every other BR change. It is really really annoying, but I wouldn’t take it as evidence for anything other than the fact sim is a lower priority for them. (though, that being said, I do also consider sim to be the more balanced gamemode and outside of a few exceptions, is usually fairly balanced and doesnt need a vast amount of changes. Its only really since the air decompress that a number of issues have arisen.)
July 2023 - a few changes
October 2023 - No changes
January 2024 - minimal changes but new brackets
April 2024 - No Changes
July 2024 - Decompress, some changes from the decompress but new brackets
October 2024 - No Changes (might change, quite a few sim related requests post decompress)
It’s hard to play with a plane without radar and subsonic in the 11.3 simulator; either you play in an empty match like singleplayer, or you’re just farm for the other players.
Yeah. Im actually shocked by that. 10.7 was a big ask, but 11.0 seems reasonable to me. That means the AMX A-1A is going to have a higher BR than the Sea Harrier FRS1 with 4x Aim-9Ls. Whether the AMX is better than the FRS1e is a reasonable debate, but 4x 9Ls are defiently better than 2x MAA-1s
The changes are shocking in general. Totally randomly made up s…
I think it’s absurd for the AMX A1 to be 11.3.
It was a disappointment to buy this plane. He should be 10.7 at RB.
What’s really crazy is the fact the Mig-23MLD is also going to be 11.3 in Sim. It is superior in every respect but is going to be the same BR. At least this means the AMX will just be able to ground pound with ease in Sim being on the same team. As there will litereally be no one on the opposing team,
