[Discussion] Balance, Bias, Matchmaking and Battle Ratings

GNSS though does also mean it makes less corrective turns and doesnt waste as much energy, which is strictly better at range is a debate to be had.

Though C5 fired from a Typhoon probably has more range than a D fired from a F-15C GE purely because of launch conditions (assuming both were fired their aircraft max speed)

still straying off course. premium bias? selective realism? do not artificially nerf aircraft. give the mig 29 its true flight model. change br’s. ESPECIALLY, THE J15T. if you see more than 2 j15t’s on your team, you already know your team is losing. that thing needs to be 14.3 IMMEDIATELY.

Sure, but also dont aritifically buff vehicles either, that would include the Rafales current FM

yep. f4 variant should have been added. you can nerf its sensors, which i am not against since it would be too powerful for the meta and other aircraft would have to have their own sensors. but you could justify it having 8 mica’s and having the scorpion hmd. unless in the future they are planning to add rafale f4 when 5th gen aircraft gets added, of course.

It’s already one of the more realistic flight models in the game

Doesnt the Mig-29M (I think) get combat thrust as well?

Something routinetly denied to all other aircraft except the Mig-21BIS iirc

MiG-29KR gets emergency trust

I thought one of them did.

But alas, all bug reports for it on other aircraft get denied as “not a feature”

I enjoy the ATGM/rocket vehicles, stay hull down and most players won’t see you. T58s are less of a problem and sniping helis with an ATGM is fun.

They also removed it from the 21BIS after it had dominated for a few Months

mig 29 is severely underperforming, losing way too much speed than it should. (9-12, 9-13 and smt)

It’s really cool that gaijin just has the power to completely ruin the matchmaker of their own game on the spot. Most of the people grinding for the ho-ri are never going to use it so there’s literally no point for them to even be queuing japan rn. Like it’s honestly incredible how awful it’s been. Every single low tier game. Uptier against japan or germany. But apparently I’m the asshole for not wanting this to happen and thinking it’s a better idea to silently remove vehicles from tech trees. Or at least not announce it A MONTH IN ADVANCE.

Why?

Because that’s how it always goes. This is literally just a case of FOMO because it’s being removed. If you didn’t have the Ho-Ri by now, you didn’t care about having it until it was suddenly gone. I can tell you I won’t be grinding for it. Between crew leveling and my disdain for bad shells it’s just a recipe for miserableness

Afaik all mig-29s currently have more accurate fms than many other 4th gens. They also buffed their energy retention last major patch. If it’s underperforming, you’d think someone would come up with proper documentation to nerf it in bug report by now.

I flew the 29M recently and it can dogfight heavier light fighters like the F-16C pretty reliably in the rate. Won’t win you against F-16As however.

I’m not following your logic.

If people are grinding for it now, they must be planning on using it.
Why would they then not use it just because others won’t be able to get it after a certain date?

I don’t think you understand how bad the matchmaker is right now. Quite literally 50% of every game is japanese vehicles and this coincides directly with the announcement that the ho-ri is being removed. And it’s all veteran players coming down too.

As a collector thing too, like back when Tiger 105 / panther 2 / coelian was removed.

Put the removing of vics while leaving them in game for people.who have them to use to a in game vote.

You added them and unless you actually remove them properly its too late

Regarding the removal of vehicles in the game, the Japanese ground being the latest.

Why is the company doing it ? They have been in the game for a while now, why are they suddenly such a problem that they have to removed ?
It is the same for other vehicles and the reasons seem dubious as other vehicles with the same history are still in the game.
To me it just seems a cash grab to increase sales and revenue because the company profits are down this quarter.
