Amx A1A worth it for grinding Italian air?

@Morvran_

the HUDs should display the current radar lock which will help a lot with finding targets and hitting things. Also missing EEGS as well.

My AV-8B+ is suffering from this immensely.

@Morvran_

But keeping on topic. AMX A-1A is barely stronger than the TT AMX or aircraft like the SHar. Probably shouldnt be 11.3

Yeah, for a worse gun / BARELY better missiles, it doesn’t deserve 11.3. I’d rather take the TT AMX any time of day.

Unless it gets the MAA-1B (it won’t), it’s a big waste of time and money.

Thanks, i think i could pull it of in air rb, but if worse comes to worse ill just use it in sb.

I have it to grind the Italian tree, use it in Sim exclusively, and like it very much:

• Good base killer, easily knocking out 2 bases with its incendiary bombs per sortie.
• Good TGP, allowing to easily use CCRP even in maps with buggy bases (Afghanistan).
• Beautiful cockpit with very nice HUD and good RWR.
• Piranhas are in my experience much better than their reputation.
• Can well defend itself even against opponents like Mirage F1’s and Floggers, and tosome extent even offensively, if used smartly.
• Flying it also in 11.7 and 12.0 rotations can be done quite well.

I’d assume in AB and RB as well as GRB it probably will indeed be subpar and overtiered, because of reasons not so relevant in Sim:

• Not fast, others will beat you to the few bases.
• No stand-off weapons, so iffy in GRB.

And while I like it very much, I also don’t understand at all why the Brazilian version is two BR-steps above it’s Italian tech tree variant. As far as I see it has zero practical advantages over it.
