I think the runways need to be set up in the diagonal corners and that would make the maps a bit bigger, strike aircraft need to be able to take off from the advanced runway. A general rework of Air RB would be good.
Dude it has the same control mechanics the same gameplay of the vehicle… It’s very similar.
uuuuuummmm the Flight models and general physics from AAB to ARB and GAB to GRB are clown car levels of difference, CORE of how they move around! I’m talking more handling of the Vehicles then anything else…I should have been more clear I guess as I have not played AB in years because of this.

indeed it ruined air rb, right now there are a lot of problems(mentioned by Seek youtuber on a video)which gaijin didnt fixed before implementing fox 3s, and all the ones who enjoys actual top tier and talk shit about others are kids playing usa who think they are good on jet just because they press 2 buttons and get a kill and their ego goes up because they are playing on the team where everyone spams +7 AIM-120s so more chances to win.
and the guys saying notch + chaff and all that, they forget its impossible to notch and chaff +4 fox3s who comes at you from different angles. thats the reason it doesnt work most of the times
instead of adressing all problems the game has and how frustrating fox3s can be for some people, especially stock ones, people prefer to say skill issue and try to act to tough instead of acting like a real community and talk + ask gaijin to fix these problems which would make everything better for EVERYONE

Except in AB, for some reason, tanks have twice as much engine power, twice as fast turret rotation speeds, and they don’t seem to interact with the ground physically, they feel like they are floating.
For example, Leopard 2A7V:
1,500 hp turn into 2,862 hp in AB
40º/s turret speed turns into 76º/s in AB
So you get a thing with a twice as high hp/t ratio capable of accelerating 0-60 in 3 seconds and able to turn the turret 360º in 4 seconds.
It doesn’t feel like a real tank, more like some toy, it’s… just not for those of us who expect realistic vehicle performance. Rather, it’s suited for those who want faster paced action.
And same goes for planes; their atmosphere interactions and gravity are removed, and their engine powers are also multiplied by a large margin.
That’s what I hate the most about Arcade and why I haven’t touched it ever since I discovered RB lmao (took me a couple of months after I started playing back in 2014).

“they forget its impossible to notch and chaff +4 fox3s who comes at you from different angles.”
I do agree that there needs to be changes to ARB, big changes…but those changes WILL NOT change the play style and mentality of player that get THEM SELVES into that situation where the 4+ Fox 3’s are coming at them from all sides!

Lol all you need is 2 min after take off and already there will be 4 FOX3 coming your way.
you really saying players get themselves on a situation where it has +5 fox3 missiles coming at him? no way 💀💀💀💀 like if players had places to hide or evade fox3s, trees with +60m alt, and fox3s tracking trough mountain (DEFYN video)
what are you on

Yes, if you have missiles coming from two different quadrants, then you screwed up. Being the first plane out is also a very bad decision now because you will get targeted the most.
A few of the biggest things I have learned to do in this new situation is to NOT afterburn all the way to the battlespace, do NOT go anywhere near the middile of the battlespace, and stay to the sides (usually left) so you can notch the initial firing of high altitude AMRAAMs. Then leverage your AMRAAMs at ranges around 10 to 15km by hard locking with ACQ, firing, breaking your lock, and turning away to let the mossile do its job so you cam pick up more targets.

Come squad with me right now if you’re on and I’ll record us playing and post it. We can play multiple matches if you like.
Looks like the 29G is your highest rank jet, question, do you have manual radar controls set? What range are you shooting your ER’s from if you have them and are you cranking once launched?
I’m more then happy to play with and help anyone in Air RB if they want to improve and learn. 100% NOT trying to brag or be a show boat or say I’m better then others, just want to help!
Mizzar1529 the squad invitation is on going whenever you would like or have time, DM me.
Yeah thats like saying punching and shooting someone is very similar since both result in injuries caused by a physical impact. AAB and GAB will stay as traumata in my head. I never wanna see a drifting Maus again or see a prop go vertical while losing next to no energy.

i stopped playing top tier some days after update, losing SL, started grinding japan air since.
i dont have ER yet, just R1, and since my radar keeps losing track for some reason, even at 20km or less, i usually fire em using HMD PD, but most of the times i wont even get that closer because a fox3 will get me.
Gonna try playing again and see how it goes

I will be back on latter tonight, I’ll add you and we can squad
120s need a nerf and R77s need a buff.
The limit of how many that can be carried should be limited to just 2 max on any plane.
This would bring top air back into alignment instead of just raw fox spams.
Russian jets are completely useless now, you’d be lucky to get 1 kill in every 5 games. 15 out of 16 players on each team will be American jets.
Shrink the trees and/or heighten the ground threshold. And change the altitude calculation from actual sea level to actual ground level that you’re flying over.
Remove all flat maps and increase the high mountain terrain maps.
Sure the foxes are easy to notch but the only Russian jet with a decent radar is the Mig29 SMT.
I get the game is all about realism, but let’s all be honest they lost that a long time ago with paper tanks, and nation bias.
a Hunter? really? I’ll pass facing supersonics in a hunter
Lmao

Lord love a duck…2 fox 3’s for every jet, let me guess you want the cool looking modern jets to fight guns only too right -_- yeah lets just have Eurofighter Typhoon or F-18 come to the game with only guns and 2 fox 3’s
HOW ABOUT NOOOOOOOO! You guys need to come to grips with modern jets…having MODERN TECH!

That moment you want a new and increasingly more modern shiny every patch but also don’t want to do anything past Korean war era type game-play of just forcing a merge and instantly going into a gunfight.
I cant wait for the time they get around to adding gen 5s with AESA radars and more advanced missiles only for people to still be stuck in this mindset.
