But he has played over 2000 matches in the KA-52, and actually does well in it.
Maybe there’s something about the KA-52 that you don’t know?
And no, the KA-50 is fine at 11.3
Just that people, including him, grinded out the entire heli tree with it - not really knowing how to play well in it yet.
He has played it more. Sure. I do play other games than Warthunder, unlike many people who stick like glue to one singular game.
Secondly, keybinds. Notice that controller symbol next to my name?
Guess what, I play on controller, have no access to the PC mods, no ULQ or anything else I could benefit from. And I am not saying he uses those what I would call “cheats” but if he has more available buttons to keybind, and better luck, sure I can see why his stats are better.
lol so everyone but Russia gets buffed. But the Russiaphobia means Russian players get kicked in the nuts. Tale as old as time.
Let me grind my way to the Tiger UHT and I will show you how overly busted it is ;)
It’s not just a bit better, it’s a lot better.
It means that he’s doing something that you don’t do, at the very least.
You aren’t getting a ~3.0K/D just by turning on ULQ lol
No, but flying Vr / with a stick, or better key binds is a pretty good advantage
I’d also wager he doesn’t fight 3 planes, and a few spaa everytime he takes off either. Which seems to be my luck
My friend, when did I make this about Russia?
Just because the vehicles are in the Russian tech tree doesn’t mean I am ‘Russiaphobic’.
I complain about everything that is unbalanced (at least I try to) - not just Russia.
My favourite aircraft is the Hunter F.58, which was extremely busted at 9.7:
His favourite vehicle is the KA-52, and yet he is saying that it shouldn’t be lower than any other helicopter.
I couldn’t care less about the fact that the KA-52 is a Russian vehicle.
It’s just too good for 12.0 - plain and simple.
Oh, and no doubt you’d do better in the UHT.
You barely need any skills to play that to its fullest potential other than being able to lock and launch the F&Fs, and going back down if you hear a MAW warning.
Like I said, KA-52 / KA-50 has quite a high skill floor and quite a high skill ceiling.
UHT (and most other F&Fs) have quite a low skill floor and quite a low skill ceiling.
There are XBOX players in my squadron who play Squadron Realistic Battles quite regularly.
I’ve rarely ever heard them complain about the lack of keybinds. They just found ways to make do with what they have and still play well.
That’s great. And?
Guess we all better play to one standard like Diablo players do. One strat is found and all follow. What exciting gameplay that would be
Do better.
Oh lmao okay, let me drop my life, my gf, college, etc. just to become a master of killing in my helicopters.
I mean, you don’t have to do that if you don’t want to.
But if you want to complain about balance than you should at least know what and how to play what you have, as well as what others can do.
You contradicted yourself btw.
You purely just said the KA-52 is not only harder to play and master, but the UHT is far easier and point and click or the hold W mentality
Ok, and what if I told you that you could do way more in the Ka-52 than what the best UHT pilot can ever do?
What if I told you that you don’t have to rely on RNG and a good map to get a decent number of ground kills?
Or to kill helicopters?
Or to kill jets?
What I am saying is that you probably could do better in the UHT, but a competent KA-52 pilot will almost always do better in most scenarios / matches than a competent UHT pilot, because of its limitations and its large dependency on RNG.
That’s such a high horse kind of comment. Clearly I know how to play the vehicles. I don’t need 25k matches to do so.
There’s a few factors to any helicopter gameplay:
And yes you are a bit unbalanced. You say the KA-50 is fine at 11.3, I say give it gen 1 thermals and I’ll agree (also this was the package it was supposed to have in game correct to it’s model until it was boo’d out.)
The KA-50/52/Mi-28NM are the highest SP cost vehicles for helicopters as is.
How could you do better in a KA-52 over a UHT? By the time you’ve fired half your aresenal, I could drop all the PARS, go reload, and fire them all again, rinse and repeat, without exposing myself.
The biggest weakness of the UHT is its anti air capability against CAP
Well by the looks of things, I don’t think so 😂
Sure, in which Ka-52 requires the least amount of luck to perform well.
The ability to deal with SPAA is worse in the Ka-52, but still managable, if not better if the SPAA player is really competent or really bad.
The ATGM consistency of the KA-52 is miles better than that of the UHT’s.
The ability to deal with other helicopters / CAP is miles better in the Ka-52 than that of the UHT.
Acquiring the targets is also easier due to both GMTI radar and air-to-air radar.
They both get good zoom and thermal sights.
I guess I could see that, but I find it that you rarely need it in most cases due to hit markers existing anyways.
The only case where it would be really nice is when the map has fog.
The zoom on the Ka-50 is also quite lacking, but I think all of that is reasonable trade-offs for the fact that it gets 12x Vikhirs, great survivabilitiy, and a great 30mm all at 11.3.
Which is fine.
Because half of the time (especially if it’s a city map / dense foliage map) the PARs are either going to do no damage or completely miss.
You’re better off using the Ka-52.
Yes, which is also a huge problem that even yourself complained about when talking about issues with helicopters in general.
Because I haven’t touched my high tier helis in awhile? Nor do I spam 12 Vihkirs because gaijin said they nerfed it to 2?
For someone so versed in the game I expected more than high horse comments
Well, I have tried to reason with you many times before in this exact thread. But as you can tell, it hasn’t worked:
Foliage hidden tanks and spaa are also hard to spot.
If they implemented thermals correctly, it would only be able to really use it sub 4 miles distance I believe. Which would be pretty balanced.
And yay we finally agree on something.
