Bring back the smokeless motor for the MIM-72E/G

The removal of the smokeless motor for the MIM-72E and G is completely irrational, there is no point to using the Es on the US chaparral as the only thing that separates it from the C WAS the smokeless motor, pivotal in bypassing the aircraft’s ability to just one flare it away and actually giving it an edge where it fails in all other regards

Should Gaijin return the smokeless motor to the MIM-72E and G?

  • Yes, they are just sucking SL out of players with them in their current state
  • No, they should just remove the Es entirely

Not sure why there is a poll. The missile is bugged and there’s only one thing to do to fix it.

that’s just it, I’m hearing that it’s not a bug at all and was intentionally removed, and the fact that it would be a bug that actually affects gameplay, you’d think it would have a high priority, but no, gaijin would rather fix UI bugs that NOBODY has experienced than this

this would be a lie, since it categorically and factually is a bug relative to its irl performance.

then explain this?

It’s been like this for over a year, I know exactly what is causing it and how to fix it, IT DOES NOT TAKE OVER A YEAR TO FIX IT

Gaijin not fixing a bug

this is where the problem is, all they need to do is change one tiny little thing, they did it for the new smoke effects coming in the next update

I even told them exactly how to fix it and got slapped with “the datamines don’t count”

you’re preaching to the choir

it just sucks, they can change the smoke effects for the new update but they won’t fix the very smoke issue that they clearly know how to do and refuse to

On one end you’re right, but on the other end the Chapparal is already OP.

How on God’s green Earth could you possibly think the Chaparral is OP???

Just because you and you in particular suck at playing a vehicle doesn’t mean it’s bad.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH yeah, I don’t suck at all, nice ragebait though

He thinks it because he believes any spaa that can engage planes before they drop dumb bombs is op

Objectively incorrect.

Now, onto the OP’s issue.

It’s not a bug. It’s an intentional nerfing by Gaijin to artificially gimp NATO hardware and naturally they refuse to address it.
