Pantsir eventually will die to enemy Cas no matter how hard it tries. Current top tier CAS planes are superior to anything on the ground.
If enemy Pantsir player notices my Brimstone’s i change my position, pull out from cover and sends 6-8 missiles on its way, he can only deal with so much before getting annihilated one of them.
This always requires conditionals such as open map, no cover, unaware pantsir, pantsir not on a point, etc. You are willing to waste all of your ordnance on a single pantsir? A squad of pantsirs will quickly deplete your stores and you will have a fruitless excursion in CAS.
Of course, the average player is terrible at the game so this is not something I am taking into consideration.
Because it is. But i also got shittalked in the UK-EF thread for calling it insanly good.
I can always go back to rearm while killing one or two Pantsir’s and usually one Pantsir requires only 1-2 brimstones.
In other way EFT is superior to Pantsir in practise.
I dont understand people who complains about current EFT, it flies like an UFO while having really solid armament.
Only thing that bothers me is the radar performance currently but i believe soon both EFT and Rafale will recieve their historical radar performance.
No wonder why my radar tracks Ghost units on air XD.
your radar tracks things!? Dang, must be nice. The only mode that works is HMD PD. Nothing else is worth a dime for me
The plane is very cracked just need the radar to have some improvements and that is it
Too many people are moaning about nothing
Sometimes it does, but aside from jokes if you narrow your radar scope it actually tracks very well.
Regular or expanded scopes are trash tho :D
Exactly.
I’ve got no real complaints about the airframe or its weapons. Those are fine. Now I just need the aforementioned radar and i’ll be golden
Now we just need vertical hold and horizontal hold nobs and we can clean up that pesky ghosting
Ghosting, scanspeed, target holding, scanning pattern in general, priority scan mode.
Its got more issues than anything ive ever seen.
This thing is unusable for BVR and only usable WVR in HMD PD mode
What’s really frustrating me about it all is - why can’t they for gameplays sake, just slap the Tornado’s radar in it untilt they actually fix the Captor
its been what 3 weeks now? 4 if you include the dev server
it’s a damn 14.0 aircraft, it should never of reached the live server like it is, nevermind been a month in game in this pathetic state
I know theyre working on it as stated by Smin but how big or small is the dev team at gaijin? surely a days work if that could solve the issues (or is it just one bloke with a laptop trying to understand the spaghetti code)
Man, put the 65GY from the ICE on it or something like that. That is an EXCELLENT radar and blows the current CAPTOR out of the water.
Yeah I dont know why they chose a Blue Vixen and just left it there for one of the most anticipated jets ever
I would take the Gripens Radar over the Typhoons.
I would take literally any other radar at 13.0+ over CAPTOR.
See the problem with this thing is that its total lack of radae capability leaves it ina defensive posture untill you are within 20km where we then have to dogfight Rafales with 8 MICAs.
This is so incredibly frustrating
you cannot quickly reliably cycle 4 targets in TWS at close range you might get 2 and then die while you mess around with the HMD
