u know u could just switch to a lower br in arcade mode when you get tired of using the jets. as long as you either got a rank III or event vehicle that you get score with rest of the score from the other vehicles will count.

I meant the planes modifications is one of the worst grinds going, the br placement makes it really crappy, thought that was clear in what I was saying tbh.
I’d finished the marks of distinction off easily, they take me 2 hours each
But that is structural to the MM atm. Because everyone grinds the plane NOW.
I am using premium time and I had the plane spaded with the drop of the 4-mods box. I even only needed 3 of the 4 mods by then, cause I already had all but 3.
It is a rank VII and it takes a day. And I am surely not a good pilot in RB.
Yeah I spaded it by yesterday afternoon too.
Not quite sure what the point you’re trying to make to me is is tbh mate, I merely commented how crappy a grid it is and said why.
My point was, the module grind is a structural problem:
One team is full with stock F-16A in an uptier, the other team is full of BR 13 premiums.
And you get the most expensive modules for “free” through the event.
Weird one that because that’s not been my experience at all, what I’ve found is I have at most 2-3 f16 event vehicles on a team and the rest are uptier to 13.3 planes all the way in 90% of matches, I’ve yet to have a match with more than 5 event f16 in 50ish games too.
It’s getting sucked up so much because of the insane abundance of people playing fhe su30mkk/amv or f14iriaf grinding the event out but given the abundance of that su30 I suspect it’ll carry on very similarly after the event is over too
Also the teams I’m getting put on are diabolical, I’m nothing special at all, average at best but 28% win rate is abysmal and I’d expect a little bit better tbh
3-5 near stock planes in an uptier will do the trick very reliably. Don’t expect a win.
I think you’ve possibly entirely missed the point being made originally that ultimately 12.3 is an abysmal and poor placement br for this plane, 11.7 is most certainly where it should be sitting . Granted I probably said that originally in a bit of a convoluted way.
It’s much less to do with poor teams and more that it’s forced to really really struggle in near constant uptiers against planes that outperform it in every single way that leaves no balance, whether there’s just the one o the team or a team of 16.
It’s exactly as most predicted before the event began, it’s a pointless plane at a br that just makes it needless suffering, when there’s the squadron f16 at 12.7 that faces the same matchmaker in the main and has a significantly better loadout and chance in what it faces
It’s redundant and badly placed and just a struggle bus currently and needlessly so too from a players perspective. It shouldn’t be doing so badly at all.

what is difference in mk84 2000 lbs bombs?
PS. What you get from 4 free modules? I get mk84, napalm, ffar and agms…
lucky guy you took the 2 modifications that cost 39k rp, i got 1 ( exept if you had done evrythink else and thats why it give you only 3 modifications
No, I wasn’t lucky. I made sure I would get those two by having only 4 modifications left to research. Then my last mission during the preparation was so successful, that I got two modules on it. So I had only 3 left to get, instead of 4. (See my screenshot above)
yea i guesed it at the end
F-16A Block 5 finally getting its correct PW-200?
Miracle if true.

Seems to be the case according to Gszabi99’s digging through the changes on the dev server.
Maybe this could warrant it being a lower BR in Sim (12.3 instead of 12.7).
yea the american f16 and the Netz are in 12.3 and the dutch one is the exact same
The Netz got Python3s.
Yea even better than the regular f16a
While Python-3 is objectively better missile than Aim-9L it still can be fooled by single flare like Aim-9.
Thats why after years Gaijin finally reduced both Netz and Netz (Mod) to 12.3.
yea the american f16a too and they should all f16a
