Griphen E has 16 F&F Spice bombs and 6 Brimstones

How is this even remotely balanced, other nations’ planes don’t have anything close to that amount of F&F, you can overwhelm AA and then have free skies to take over the entire enemy team.

At least greatly increase the SP needed to spawn Spice bombs and Brimstones to 2k or something

look 2k for a plane is too much,

but i agree that 16 FnF glide bomb is a bit too much for the game, i also dont want it to go where the us main will cry and ask for 28 Fnf glide bomb on the f15

i am sure that every spaa cant handle 6 or 8 glide comming at him and waste ammo and be a free kill

You guys wanted top tier tech. It’s literally designed to be as one-sided and un-counterable as possible, because in real wars, an unbalanced fight is over much quicker.

Also, cases like this just show that you can never balance CAS if you also insist on SP-gating the CAS and every other plane.

A plane’s best counter is and always will be another plane.

Now does the game lack SPAAGs in key areas, and are they mostly incompetent barring lobotomized pilots below radar tier? Yes and yes.

Jacking up SP costs on one weapon only slightly serves as a temporary painkiller, but does not fix ANY of the underlying mechanical problems with how CAS is obtained, what its counters are, how those counters are obtained, and how they work.

F-15E has 30.

lolno
It’s already mathematically too high at 950.
Also it’s 6 + 8, or 14 total.
You can’t bring Brimstones with 16 SPICE bombs [they’re not even AGMs].

yall have F&F helicopters, sweden dont

I think this was just fixed so no internal spice when TGT pod is present

It doesn’t matter what a plane’s SP cost is frankly - one team will always get CAS up before the other, and the other will then whine about it regardless of how balanced it actually is or not, simply because it killed them.

This is why I plainly see CAS as fundamentally unbalanceable so long as it is gated behind a SP wall, because its best counter is another plane. Yet if you allow CAP as a first spawn but not CAS, all the CAP planes will just strafe open tops and maybe kill each other. That is why I plainly see a variation of Simulator’s SP system as the only long-term solution.

the F-15E can bring 6 fnf missiles Max so im not sure why your saying 30 like the gbu 39s have any use other than disractions
