Thanks, itโs been a pretty common problem in most of these posts. I know I havenโt been perfect either, and Iโve probably been a bit annoying at times, so I really appreciate the help. Sorry about the inconvenience.
Thereโs just one last hurdle guys: convincing Gaijin that AIM-9Ls arenโt the overpowered superweapon they seem to think they are. At this battle rating, theyโd only provide a modest improvement to the aircraftโs overall effectiveness and not transform it into something overpowered.
The Tornado F.3 already carries AIM-9Ls at the same battle rating, so thereโs already a precedent for it.
The aircraft that replaced the Phantoms will end up sitting at a lower BR than the FGR.2, thatโs only if the AIM-9Ls and other missiles are added.
Being on the forums since June has accomplished absolutely nothing. If anything, itโs only reinforced my belief that Gaijin doesnโt care about Britain or even fixing relatively simple issues, like the Challenger DS.
Even without the ready rack, simply giving the Challenger DS and MK.3 the optional additional armour, just like the first Challenger 2 you unlock in game, would be an incredibly uncontroversial change. Most players would see it as a positive historical correction rather than a balance issue.
Even if the ready rack were added as well, youโd essentially be a slower M1 Abrams. It wouldnโt be overpowered in the slightest. Itโs frustrating that simple historical improvements like this continue to be ignored. God forbid someone wants to get their moneyโs worth from both the premium and tech tree versions by submitting actual historical evidence for a change that would make them far more enjoyable to play.
With these changes, the Challenger DS and Mk.3 would finally be on a similar level to the Leopard 2, M1 Abrams, and T-80UD. These additions wouldnโt make them overpowered because they would simply allow them to compete properly with their counterparts.
Thatโs really damn depressing to think about. By the way, they wonโt add these because they think itโll make the aircraft too effective at 12.0, which is an absolute joke.
