Using the F4F ice as a reason not to balance other planes is weak.
Both Germany and Russia can suffer in ARB at the same time. Both can need buffs.
And to your earlier comment, you realize France, Israel, Japan all have top tier American planes, right? And that China has the J10A, which is arguably one of the top planes?
I mean just look at the nations they are using to fill in the gaps, maybe thats why. by the looks of it they are trying to burn through other nations vehicles that are not able to be independent.
When has Israel, Japan, and USA been one tree? And they’re marginally ahead of the Soviets in aviation currently.
Then you have France and China marginally behind Soviets; and generally behind Japan, USA, and Israel.
Then you have Sweden, Germany, Britain, and Italy all lacking with Germany being the most lacking cause at least Sweden, Britain, and Italy have Gripen.
Nowhere in any of my first statements did I bring up the ICE. @PestoMystic did, and I have no idea why.
Brother Russia DOES NOT suffer in Air RB! You guys are crazy if you think that!
They should look to improve the other nations, who are actually lacking in top tier air!
There’s 10+ planes in the US air, 8+ in the Russian air, 4 in the German air! Tier VIII!!
Not to mention the drastic differences between all of them, there is not a proper Gen 4 fighter in the German lineup, while there’s a dozen in US and Russia!
A/G armament does not matter in ARB at all.
God forbid you going on a CAS mission in ARB. Even in the most skibidi sigma plane in the game, the F-15E you can not do CAS because you will eat at least 1 AMRAAM and 1 MICA because you tried to dodge the other 5 AMRAAM’s on their way to your exact location.
In GRB you need to have a potent missile against spaa. That was my point from the start. Doesn’t matter how much you can carry if you spawn in the air 15 km’s out from the battle field and you are being fired upon by 3 S1’s and a poor ADATS trying to make its job. The Panstir can take down your whole Maverick loadout most of the time. I rarely see an ADATS intercept just one KH-38MT.
There is no glass situation! You straight up have access to the R-77s. You have the choice between which ones you want to fly, and which weapons they use. Other trees are NOT given an option and are passively forced to play a single jet.
I used US as an example, as they have the most variants of those jets people complain about. I can change my statement to “only true when compared to a single tree, and 1 jet in 2 other trees.”
Correct.
Correct.
Correct.
In other words, if you compare ANY nation to US, they’re going to be considered “worse.” BUT
If you compare Russia to ANY other nation in the tree, they are not lacking, which was the ENTIRE point of my whole commenting.
But I disagree that the planes for the USSR are competitive vs. most AIM120 slingers. They are simply not, and that’s the sentiment of most of the playerbase.
that’s the sentiment of Russian Tree players, NOT the playerbase.
See this.
If you continue to add more and more powerful stuff to the already best trees in the game, its gets 100x worse for the trees UNDER where you want them to be implemented.
My point is that there’s far more to the balancing act than just SPAA. Yes, SPAA across the board needs a buff, and other nations need comparable weapons to the KH38. But, that alone does not balance the game.
Both. Launch them from high altitude where they’re extremely difficult to detect and intercept, while also having gravity assist and you being safer from SPAA.
Their opinions tend to be pretty valid. Defyn, Bad_karma, Seek, etc are some of the best players and would have a very decent idea of the comparative power of planes in game.
