I think something like a MiG-31 with Fox-3s would be fun, with the caveat of a changed MM so they cannot be on a team with Tomcats, as the US+Sov combo does happen sometimes. Idk when the realistic MM became the same as the arcade one, probably after the T-2 was added. The only reason things like the Tomcat are dangerous is because they split up teams and drain people of mental capacity for the merge (consciously staying below 60m or finding notch angle).
On the topic of realistic missile physics I feel GJ might be unwilling to do so, hopium for all lol.
(Also this is a great discussion that hasn’t come down to ad hominem attacks and “you’re bad, no you’re bad”. Second one today, the trolls and idiots must be sleeping)
Guess which plane overperformed and who won this match, Gaijin. Balance your damned game. Yes, give the Iranian F-14 to the US, that will be great for gameplay. You guys don’t even play your own game, because balancing with spreadsheets is soooo easy. If US players are bad, then let them lose (or just don’t group planes of the same nation together), don’t balance their team comp and planes around their abysmal WR. (Look at WT Data Project spreadsheet)
Apparently, me, a Mirage 2000, with 4 missiles, probably can get 2 kills mid match, 2 more afterwards and potentially more with FM and guns after, is 12.3, the same BR as a plane that can get 1 to 6 kills before SARH can even be launched. And theyre all in the same team. Hand me a Gaijin employee card, I’ll fix the game for you.
It’s not even the fact the Iranian one is going to the US that maddens me. It’s the fact that like all the other F-14s, it’ll be hideously undertiered. Straight up came out of a match where it was F-14s and J35s in the same game. Needless to say, whenever one popped up I mercilessly Skyflashed it (Tornado F.3 my beloved) because those things screw the game for everyone with their Phoenixes, AIM-7Fs and Turn rate.
i just hope brits get a rework. the theme for brits seems slow slow turning maybe some armour here and there and the gun cant be better then any other nation. ow and the maps dont allow good brits playstyle as the usualy favor the big nations and in urban esp russia from i can see.
brits either need good armour wich that frontaly they can take some shots or they need to have the best guns to compensate for being slow and basicly having no armour. germany russia and sweden have a 3 in plenty supply
Bias toward Russia stopped before I played ground if it ever existed, which was 2015 when I started seriously playing ground RB.
Su-25SM3 being equivalent to AV-8B isn’t bias.
2S38’s power to weight is currently equivalent to Begleitpanzer.
Pantsir’s missile still doesn’t out-range the 16+km CAS all but Japan has.
Soviet firepower is the “3rd worst” at 11.7 beating DM43/OFL F1 120, and L27A1.
Armor of T-90M, Soviet’s most armored tank, is on-par with 2A7V/2A7HU, and Strv 122.
Armor of T-80BVM is as if you swapped M1A2’s hull and turret armor with each other for some reason.
Yes, Soviet vehicles are inferior which is why in-game they need newer equipment to compete against the superiority of older NATO equipment.
this is just a polite disagrement nothing personal at all.
while russia is on par with germany and sweden, britain is nowhere close to them. russia imo does get some faverable matchmaking and has some or maybe quite a few vehicles that need a br increase. 2s38 should get the puma treatment 100%.
the 2s38 may have the same power to wight ratio. yet the begleit cant just yolo any soviet mbt frontaly. it needs to be in the proper posistions and actualy flank. nato tanks at 9 or 10.0 generaly have weak frontal armour. so weak that the 2s38 can frontaly pen or sometimes even onshot them. brits at 11.3 still have frontal armour weak enough for the 2s38 so that is can still pen them frontaly with some effort. the begleit cant do anyting simaler to soviet or swedisch tanks etc cuz it doesnt have darts. yes it has an atgm but that is slower then pew pew with 0,5 seconds interval.
indeed soviet tanks are on par with leo 2 7av and strv etc but soviets have the crasiest lights in the game. the best choppers and at straffing planes. wich both can take more damage then nato counterparts for whatever reason.
brits have nothing close to that, nothing. even the desert warrior wich i like is nothing close to begleit or bmp2 or 2s38 or the cv,s from sweden. its slower has a weaker gun but yeah 2 atgm launchers. but i rather it had a good 30mm so i can actualy reliably pen side armour of leo2,s with my main gun and take them out with the same effort as a begleit or bmp 2.
britian is just not competitive currently. their tanks usualy lake either speed or armour or both. speed/mobility being the more crucial factor. and they dont have imo at least anyting at all that makes up for those clear and very damming flaws.
Can we please get a “Team up with Germany Y/N?” option. I"m talking about Ground RB. They are usually okay in Air and Naval teams everyone against everyon.
My win rate with them not on my team is close to 60%. My win rate with them ON my team is close to 40%. I shouldn’t be punished by avoiding the mess that is Germany players by being forced to fight out of my mind good just to win with them on my team.
Can we change the F-4F KWS to 13.0? Playing in 13.7 every game is so unfun and the rating of 13.3 makes no sense if you’re going to have a MIG-29 with Fox-3s at the same rating of 13.3.
oh boo hoo, the premium player would have to try a little harder. no matter which way you put it the mig-29 is better than the ICE. what you said makes 0 sense. An AIM-120 launched from a harrier is the same AIM-120 that is launched from the ICE, flight performance matters little if there is gonna be a 13.0 AMRAAM slinger
An AMRAAM fired at 0.85 Mach at low altitude is NOT the same as an AMRAAM fired from 1.25 Mach at high altitude.
That’s a compression problem, decompress up, not compress down. If you are outclassed in every way possible you still should move to a place where you outclass something else in every way possible.
You seem like the kind of person to say the ICE is defenseless against 13.7 planes no? But you think an ICE vs the F-104S.ASA would be fair huh?
So
You can’t club 12.0 planes. Take your brain dead Iranian F-14 tomcat players and be greatful.
