This is actually so true, I even keybinded the new IFF mode for the radar, sometimes the clutter of allies, missiles from both enemies and allies, chaff etc. is just unbearable; You struggle to tell things apart from one another.
I always use manual target cycling, and I just can’t target what I want in some situations…
In one update they ruined all small HE missiles.
Hellfires, Brimstonses, JAGM are all very unreliable
Probably throw SPIKE and Akeron in that discussion
I have teammates off at all times at the moment, but yeah, I was trying like hell to get it to lock onto something directly infront of me, but it was obsessed with something off to my right. its really annoying… Actually, thats another option for the cyclic target selection. Have a keybind that will target whatever is closest to your nose.
That might be a suggestion worthy idea…
I do in ASB with HOTAS, but ive yet to figure out a good way to do it in ARB with M&K
Ive created this suggestion, if it gets approved, I’ll link it here. Hopefully it does
After spading the Su-30SM2, altrough not quite as good as the rafale IMHO, is still a very potent 14.3 jet.
Then I focused on finishing the british typhoon grind, I tried a few matches with the first typhoon but the radar is just too unnefective to deal with 14.3 matchmaker so I switched to the gripen instead.
The gripen at 13.7 it isn’t the best but it doesn’t get many full uptiers, and it’s much more effective at 13.7 than the first typhoon in 14.3.
After unlocking the aesa typhoon I was suprised at how good this jet was, I was expecting to be a little less effective than the SM2, but it’s crazy good. I’m halfway through the stock grind and I got amazing results with it, most of it with just 2xaim-120s.
The SU-30SM2 has a very potent loadout, but the eurofighter can be higher, faster, and turn much faster to notch at altitude. Its a much harder target to hit by comparison, even notching seems to be much easier to do with the Eurofighter despite the annoying RWR long “scope/range” (although the MAWS helps somewhat to know when a missile is really close to you)
From 13 matches, I only died to the enemy 4 times, 1 time my PC crashed and another I got TK’d in the end of the match. Got around 33-34 kills till now (a few AI kills in the 38 count).
The experience I got with the aesa radar, in contrast with the experience I got with the earlier one, and also when fighting AESA jets with 13.7 jets, its completelly unbalanced.
From 12.7 and up, balance is nonexistent, and we are desperately in need of some more BRs for a long time. These new jets made everything even worse.
1km rear aspect launch…how does this make sense.
Magics 2 would never
9Ms are totally broken, if you’ve got the replay file/link and/or gamelog. might be worth hanging onto it for a report. I might work on one at some point, if no one else beats me to it
Ok
Another Aim-9Miss off too wonderland
Its really hard to enjoy this aircraft when your SRAAMs dont even work
Just play a Su and enjoy life why play with stinky 9M’s?
symmetry aside why would you ever voluntarily take fewer spice 250s
To hit Helicopters with Brims
To annoy the people who dislike Assymetry :P
we had a tool for this its called outboard brimstones
Only time ill do this is for Sim with the F35 mainly since gaijin hasn’t added stations 3 and 6 fuel pods.
Asymmetric loadouts are gross
This loadout has given me some success on the Harrier GR1
and i’ve done this quite often on the Typhoon, at least when Aim-9M use to work.
and especially before the twin AMRAAM. 1 AMRAAM for 2x Aim-9Ms was a worth while trade, these days… I prefer the 2 extra AMRAAMs over the 2 extra 9Ms, but Ive got the loadout made just in case
I did similar with the F-18C took half AMRAAM and half 9M’s
I noticed this too when using AIM-9M, AAM-3 and PL8B, it’s weird.
Even had a AAM-3 get one flared rear aspect.
