Oooh, we got a banger hot off the press…
@Stona_WT @Smin1080p_WT Can you show this to the devs? I know I’ve reached out in the past, but like come on man… this is just silly. In this case, yes it did damage (I’d hope so for a direct hit) but take a second to look at the damage done. ~24kg warhead, 0 engine or internal damage. Something clearly is not right with the way they do damage.
I had shot him up with a handful of .50s, so this is his damage before:
And this is his damage after:
It just doesn’t make sense. A 9B detonating within ~5 meters will reliably destroy the control surfaces, engine, and usually set a fire. AA20s just don’t. They never set fires, and they never kill off engine damage. It’s always surface control damage, when they even decide to do damage in the first place.
Not to mention it barely hurt me also, I took some fuselage damage and that’s about it; also no internal damage.

used aa20 on a g91y recently - really cool that a huge warhead exploding a meter away hurts the plane just as much as a couple of .50 cals do

Yeah the fireflash or whatever they are on the swift are the same still un usuable

This thread is good evidence that gaijin doesn’t care about their game at all, and only whatever they can slop up next to sell to the wallet warriors.

sad but hilarious thread, you can feel OP’s blood pressure rise the further down you go.
was looking forward to the Vautour and slinging those around, my family has a history in the French Air Force and some served on the plane and did use the Nords, but now… Yeah i think ill just skip.
sadge :C

Bro I’m losing my gourds. They waste time fixing stuff like the ‘caliber of aim7c from 200 → 203.5mm’ or whatever… but nords not working? Nah screw those guys.
Also, the vautour is still worth it. It’s surprisingly decent. (It’s terrible but does have a few tricks up its sleeves that makes it very potent)
man i rather go for the super mystere or the IVA, i dont think i would like the playstyle
meh
horrible
just use alpha jet or etendard, they are miles better (but they have no aa20 unfortunately)
Yeah it doesn’t pull at high speeds, but it’s got thrust and the aversge player is terrible. It shouldn’t work but it’s kinda strange how consistently you can reverse people by dumping your speed and flaps, people sorts panic when the vautour suddenly actually fights. Vautour is one of my most played aircraft at this point. Again, it’s not a good aircraft, but it has potential.
The Mystere B.2 isn’t very good but certainly can work. I personally find the IVA to be one of the worst planes I’ve flown haha. It being 8.7 while the 15bis and sabre are at 8.3 is laughable. I really want to play the etendard. I wish they’d give it AA20s, since if a plane could fire AS20s, it could fire AA20s. The guidance hardware is identical, and obviously the pylons are the same as the missiles are basically the same too.
yeah, i just wish it had its elevator fixed, would be a much better plane

ok maybe i wont fly the IVA then lol
I encourage you to at least try it, as maybe you will like it. Its acceleration is decent, you just have to be really careful about maneuvering. It does not retain energy at all. It’s easy to find yourself at 200kias after just a few hard pulls. Very maneuverable but does not retain any energy.
yeah in that case ill pass, i like planes that have a safety net so to speak

Hey, Guy! I also am a huge advocate for the AA.20 Nord! I have clocked probably an unhealthy amount of kills (+1000) with them as they are insanely versatile. Stalling behind someone in a spiral and just trying to get out of there quick? Guide a quick +1 mile AA-20 to delete them entirely. Some bomber flying towards you from 5 miles out sleeping at the stick? Deliver them a bomb strapped to a rocket ship to wake em up. I love them in every way! Especially how it’s me who got the kill; sure a fire and forget is pretty cool but something about every deviation and second guess being my own keystroke just makes every shot so much more deserved and earned. I had just got into a match with you and I think that’s cosmic! Just cause as I said before I love the AA-20s and seeing someone else use them is awesome! Especially curating a whole name to show your passion for them as well. I am also very upset about how they changed after the Alpha Strike update. Though it was pretty sad not being able to click and delete easy head-ons but it forced me t learn other ways to use the missile and slowly I started dialing in everything about the missile like I was learning how to fly a new bird! I even chased down and killed a few F-104s with them! I have a YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@itsjustentity) showcasing a few compilations of a few of my favorite kills. Even some recorded before the Alpha Strike update! I added you so hopefully we can run a match sometime! Anyways love to see the missile get the love it deserves!

I was gonna say I just saw you in game haha. I too get excited when I see others using them. o7 out there.
I also noticed, and this is not defending the bugged state, that most of my abilities to guide them comes from them being useless in the head-on haha. It’s just unfortunate what even when you guide it damn near perfectly it’s still a roll of the dice whether it does something.
