I’m just comparing two vehicles with the same BR for GRB.
One’s advantage lies solely in the quality (not even quantity) of it’s A2G missiles and some people want to remove that last piece of advantage for the sake of “balance”. I’m rightfully against that as should everyone be.
Both sit at 12.7 for GRB which is the thing that matters as A2G weaponry is not relevant in ARB.
Giving Brimstones IR or whatever might work for lesser aircraft such as Tornado, but EFT certainly does not need that as it handily claps Su-34 in literally all areas that aren’t missile quality.
Does it have better FM ? Yes.
Does it have more/better A2A weaponry ? Yes.
Does it have more A2G weaponry ? Yes
Does it have better/on-par A2G weaponry ? No.
Trying to get that last No into a Yes would remove any resemblance of balance between the two vehicles in question as both sit at the same BR, and is honestly a quite egregious demand if I’m concerned.
Is there a specific reason why the EF uses Mouse-Aim the whole time and in the Rafale you swap to it only in recovery?
This also seems to be with the old flight models on Dev, is the EF still doing the same maneuvers on live? Because from my experience it doesn’t seem like it still behaves that way.
Because Gaijin will not implement different types of Brimstone just for the sake of Tornado, also why would you use Tornado when you have EFT?
@MotorolaCRO is right, EFT has every advantage in every department except A2G munitions but even then the amount of Brimstone you can use is heavily compensates this issue.
Not gonna even talk about whole armament options and flight performance.
I’ll always be against fully functional LOAL armaments as those promote the ultimate braindead gameplay made for single-cell organisms.
Tornado surely needs better Brimstones than EFT does to compensate, but compensation could easily be made by just moving up aircraft to 13.0 or 13.3 in GRB without giving aircraft multiple version of the same missile.
It being just a single BR step below Su-34 is sadly a compression issue and that’s a problem most people have with the game for years now.
Motorola made the argument that the Su34 needs extremely powerful AGMs because it’s airframe was bad and that the Typhoon should only have weak SAL only AGMs because it has a very good FM.
I was pointing out that if that was the case, the tornado should have way better AGMs than SAL only Brimstone 1s
Finally someone that understands.
I’ve seen far too many people malding over singular advantages RU tech has, demanding western tech catch up or even get more powerful.
I’m not really sure if it’s anti-RU bias or just ignorance on how balance should actually work.
Motorola made that argument because KH38MT’s is the only redeeming factor against other top tier jets.
EFT has insane flight performance, capable of carrying much more both A2A and A2G munitions while having better survivability and situational awareness.
Without KH38MT’s SU34 will become obsolete compare to other top tier CAS planes.
Tornado could’ve Brimstone 2’s thats fine, but we both know Gaijin will not give special treatment to GR4 as it recieved additional Brimstones and BOL pods with this uptade.
It still shouldn’t matter. Quantity is mitigated by SAL only. Ahistorical Brimstone 1 nerf ontop of the fact you can only shoot at one thing at once Is just BS. Especially when you consider how easy the Su-34 has it considering they don’t have to deal with Pantsirs
