YUP, only in the very beginning of GF they had contact fuses, now it starts counting from the moment of release, so drop high enough and target has very little to no reaction time.
And the bigger the bomb the more room you have for accuracy.
A GER 1000kg bomb has a 17m armor destruction and 203m fragmentation rang, for the massive 1800kg bomb it 30m and 229m respectively. Thank god that thing is not on GFAB ;P
No, mainly due to sheer Heli vulnerability atm + the fact that ticket bleed is too fast already imo.
Agreed.
laughs in A-10
Agreed here, it would be nice to make these consistent. Interestingly, I find the USSR bombers actually very good given the explosive power of their bomb- their defense armament usually nets me an air kill, too.
This is moreso a gap from the USH 204 GK to the Bkan 1C- both the ZSU and Lvkv arent good at AA work.
two choices
Either less planes or more available tanks or 3 for 3
3 Tanks ,or 2 tanks 1 plane , or 3 planes .
alternately for every tank lost ,one plane is lost and vice versa .
if you join in a tank and then fly and one or the other is killed you lose both ,at least players wouldn’t be able to join from air battles get in tanks drive around till a plane is spawned ,bomb someone ,tanks dies and they leave game ,which is what’s happening now and leads to unbalanced players on teams
I don’t think it’s bad having CAS but the amount is the problem. If one team is on top they will just spam CAS one after another with upto four planes at once. This will make players just quit out as you can’t defend that. Maybe have CAS after a timer has run down or make it that you can only spawn after a certain amount of points. Helicopters are a problem too when they spawn 3.5km away and your AA can only lock at 2.5km
This is ARCADE discussion - that is exactly what the ARCADE CAS system has already.
dont they have like a 5 second fuse? like drive away unless its a 2000+ or your in an open top
They have a time fuse but you can flee only if the bomb is dropped from low alt because if the ennemy drop that bomb from high enough that time fuse is nullified and the bomb explode just after impact so no possible escape.
Just finished several games at 7.7 or 8.0 lineup. Game is ruined by an endless stream of aircraft.
Why cannot a ‘no planes at all’ version of the tank game be tried. Test only, please gajin.
True, but you can’t keep always your eyes on minimap or at the sky.
Sometimes in battle things get really nasty. Complete chaos around me. Somehow I manage to evade few enemy vehicles, destroy some of them and just be destroyed by aircraft. I feel like someone sh*t on me. You are being punished because you were good and focused on battle.
Yup, had a battle day or two ago, where it was more like an airshow. Sky full of airplanes, I get more focused on evading aircrafts than fighting ground vehicles.
It is too much aircrafts in battles.
Aircrafts are sometimes good, but most of the time they only ruin fun.
Best would be remove them completely or put some limits.
Limit like, aircraft can be spawned only once in 5 minutes. Or only 3 spawns of aircraft during one battle.
It is not far that one bomber destroy 5 tanks at once and by that make battle decision. Yeah, grouping at one place is not good idea, but sometimes no other option.
You literally don’t have to because Arcade broadcasts the event on your screen in the hotbar.
If the warnings ‘ends’ at 0, not halfway through, then you know to then look to the skies or glimps at your minimap.
You being fixated isn’t ‘good’… It’s being unaware.
How insulting… Doesn’t change the facts of the matter.
I can indeed… It’s very easy to merely move slightly, compared to sitting still and being a beacon.
Seriously though, you insulting at the first line is indactive of a knee-jerk poster who doesn’t think, so I couldn’t help but guess that inability transfers into your games.
Spoken like a true warrior. The game is cooked with the non sense you defend. Not all spawning aircraft are announced. Try again. When in you’re in the middle of a ground battle sometimes you don’t see it hero.
You’re talking arcade here, they are all announced.
If you can’t make a statement without the need to try insult someone you may as well keep silent.
I question whether the rule on bomb timers is correct. I have seen no end of people suggesting its ten seconds from drop but I have seen so many planes come in, dive nearly 100m from the ground and insta-detonate their bombs, yet when I drop bombs at say, 1000m they take ten minutes to go off. Either this mechanism they report has changed or its bugged.
I always thought it was an ‘assault’ type fuse, where if it hits within a few seconds, it hits that timer countdown, but if dropped from up high it’ll drop and explode instantly.
If it has deviated from that it could be something to genuinely ask about in terms of questioning if it’s a bug or intentional to have timers throughout.
Instead of removing them completely from arcade… i would like to see gaijin give us an arcade battle option of playing with planes, or without them… that way everyone can be happy.
Im all for playing without planes 💁♂️🙂
Actually i believe the game expects each match to have a majority of players that prefer ground vehicles…and a few that want to use planes.
A game with only ground vehicles would probably make those players happy…but i doubt that a ground game where most players want to get into planes would be fun for all. Some would simply NOT get the planes they want :)
Ive always found the persons who use planes have a vendetta against the one who keeps killing them.
Its pretty simple. Have arcade as it now for those that like to use CAS, but for those of us that dont want any CAS (strictly tank on tank) give us that option
I like planes in arcade…and i dont usually do vendetta…i look for a target that i can kill. I mostly do fighters anyway as i am slow getting attack aircraft…
Like i said just above…it isn’t. The CAS game without “tank only” players would probably be a bit frustrating for CAS players. You would have 16 players wanting to fly and just 5 in the air.
BUT…i actually would like to test a tanks only game…been in the TO only threads for a while back in the day…i think this discussion appeared when tanks were introduced…
In a perfect world i would want to have the option to chose, and would probably play both. In the real “i want my game as i want it” world, i would like to test the idea at least.
Bottom line is devs think of WT as a Combined Arms game…been their response every time.
