Final Separate Battle Ratings by Gamemode Changes & What We’re Planning for Attack Aircraft with All-Aspect Missiles in Air Battles

[BlitzKrieger1]

Its definitely better than the Sagittario. That plane, while being nimble asl, doesnt even clock 1100 on the deck.
Its no Ariete for sure.

Bullpups are very good, you might need to rebind your controls but I have a 5-1 KDR using the Scimitar using Bullpups.

Sag is better in full downtiers as it can hang much better and lower speeds and can get guns on the Subsonics (yeah its no Ariete)

[BlitzKrieger1]

Are u saying the Sag is better than an Ariete in a full downtier, or better than F-100/Q-5 etc. that you listed earlier.

Going with the assumption that you meant the latter, its a yes and no scenario. The Sagittario would get more kills (probably) in a full downtier, but it would be actually touchable, the supersonics essentially have free reign and would only really die if they make a mistake or get too greedy. Gotta think about offence and defensive capabilities.

If i’m in a MiG-15bis, I would almost rather face the sagittario, even though he is a b*tch to get guns onto.

The Battle Ratings of the A-10s, Su-25 and Su-25k, and the A-6E TRAM in Air Battles will be increased by 1 step

Some incredibly positive news.

@Stona_WT

However, simply raising the BR would in turn be unfair to the attack aircraft, which already have below average efficiency and would in turn earn even less. This is why we propose a twofold solution in this case, where attack aircraft will have more ability to attack ground targets even while facing stronger enemies, which is an inevitability with their BR increase.

I would have to see what this proposal is, but hopefully it in some form addresses the issues caused by slashing Ground AI destruction awards as that was a major source for their earnings.

My chrother in brist, they elaborate on what the proposal is in the original post.

@Stona_WT

the spawn points of these attackers will be moved closer to the main combat zone in Air Battles. This will help these aircraft carry out their primary ground attack role

[psycho_sikh]

No im saying the sag is better then the Lightning in a fulldowntier to get alot of kills, the lightning is still very good and with the red top buff can get 2 kills fairly consistently, you just cant pull with the subsonics if they pay attention.

[BlitzKrieger1]

Yeah you are kind of right. In the supersonics you can just play energy all day and kill anyone who thinks about sticking tho, and I definitely think that the Sagittario is much more appropriate for 9.3 than the lightning etc. is

[_ShadowFang]

Don’t need to be rude, I happened to miss that part. I misread it and thought it said ground battles. So it’s on me.

[BlitzKrieger1]

Sorry haha, the opinions tossed around earlier in these threads have a way of getting under one’s skin.

sad BLÅHAJ noises

Q5L has been moved up to 10.3 but it doesnt have countermeasures . Why?

[_ShadowFang]

@Stona_WT

Q-5L — we’ve removed the increase to 10.7 and instead the Battle Rating will be increased to 10.3 in Ground Battles. Please note that we initially decided to lower the Battle Rating in Air Battles to 9.3 (like the Q-5A), and not to 9.0 (like the Q-5A early), since in the next major update this aircraft will receive countermeasures, making it similar to the Q-5A in Air Battles. Countermeasures should also make it easier to counter various threats in Ground Battles.

It will be.

@Mitchverr

So what about planes like the buccaneer which hold a similar role/capability? Just have to keep slugging off the ground?

Maybe Gaijin will finally make the F-105 playable again lol

[Foehn_Actual]

look at the bright side, F14 players got more feed :D

[NestleKitkat]

I’m part of F-14A spammer so, would like to club them lmao

[cheseburgeer]

can those fighter jets without interference devices also be kept away from those spaa missiles?
8.3—9.3 fighter jets require some changes

[OnAcHbIu_BaTHuK]

Where is the nerf for su25 in joint battles? Why did they only nerf a10?

[hilapff]

Superb news! Good job!!!

[Szatanshow]

So you still ignore lower BR bombers/strikes being just free kills and nothing don’t to them - why cant they too have closer spawn???
Also still you ignore the fact that in AIr RB all targets are in the stupid middle making it a easy mode for everyone to kill you. Adding way more targets that are not in the middle of the map would help a bit
