Dont know if its just me but the search irst seems to not be properly aligned. The markers at the top with the compass dont match whats on the radar and it makes finding anything impossible. Been killed by multiple planes flying 1km up just because i cant find them.
Also, I thought the fuze and distance change was meant to help. Im phasing through drones and planes alike now again. Helis have been the only thing ive been able to shoot down. Especially because people are noticing the darts alot easier now? Might just be my luck.
My ping was at 17 so i doubt its that. I got pissed at a recon drone as the irst refuses to lock anything but them if even a single one is up so it stopped me from being able to find the heli that was up. I used 20 missiles on it and not a single one hit, all phased through. ALso happened with a Missile drone, but with 10 before it was shot down by a pantsir.
Haven’t been able to hit a plane today as they all notice the missile before it gets close to them, some being a4es and such so i have no clue. Normally people dont realise they have one on them, its hard enough to hit a target going in a straight line anyway lol.
I do wonder if we’ll actually pay certification for release of ASRAAM, Paveway IV etc. on these if there remains only 12 of them. As it stands, A, B and C do separate flight clearances with weapons, even if the mission software is the same.
I think Italy is funding Meteor trials for the 35A though, so they will be able to take those.
Eh not really, A) The waiting list for B’s is a little bit insane, For the same number of Bs you can get As much much quicker B) Eh it’s replacing the B’s used for training, which shouldn’t be included in the fleet power
Im not that bothered really. Id probably always play the B anyway because I enjoy the carrier spawns and VTOL landings on the carrier in SB anyway. its why I play the FG1 over the FGR2 for example. even though the FGR2 is actually ever so slightly better.
and I cant imagine the A and the B will be dramatically different anyway. At least not in the ASB setting
Kinda yes, but its not 1:1, basically as many Bs as we can get, with As to plug the gaps or where being cheaper is desirable (i.e. training). But there’s no plan to increase the total amount of the F-35 order, so some B’s are being lost to A’s.
They pretty much just want more F-35s in general rn, as there’s short falls in training flight hours atm, just cause there’s not enough jets for deployments and training.
Aye, but reduces maintenance on the Bs until you really need them, they need a good chunk more workshop time per flying hour compared with the As. + Bigger tanks so you can train for longer
The whole idea of going with a entire fleet of Bs is kinda of a silly idea personally.
