It did not get the buff we’ve been asking for or need
Its gotten a chaff pod that replaces an Aim-9L further reducing its A2A performance but doing little to help with its lack of flares given its IR signature issues
It is misisng 2-4 BOL rails which are an entirely different CM pod
(fun fact, Harrier Gr7, Harrier Gr3, Tornado F3, Tornado F3 Late and Buc S2B are also still missing Phimat Pods)
He reads the datamines?
You’re literally arguing for what? He clearly gets his sources correct 99.9% of the time
so do I. I don’t need a youtuber to read them for me.
that its not a buff yes
Its not that hes incorrect, its the fact he isnt clued in like us. he gets the vehicles for free and doesnt exactly need the premium T.10 to be usable. We play the game AND we gotta buy it.
Need?
The Su-39 is missing tons of things, your point ?
probably because they know they are worse than just having BOL
I love that decal. I really wish they’d added ways to get pre-order title and decals after the fact.
(Wait- as long as the pack is up on the store the decal can be got if I recall correctly, but not the title so point still exists)
In the GR7s case, perhaps. But the others, not really. (and in the Gr7 case, its actually facing BVR threats where large chaff would be useful)
Harrier Gr3 and Buc S2B dont have BOL, and the F3 can run 1-2 Phimats alongside its 2x BOL. Either replacing aAim-9(s) or fuel tanks for them
I am a firm beleiver that the SU-39 should also get its missing equipment, even if that means a BR shift! it would be cool to see it get the R77 even if they would be pointless. HOWEVER, what does one aircraft missing things have to do with another also missing things. SURELY you would be on our team for this if you want you aircraft to get stuff?
whataboutism doesn’t negate another things needs
would be nice to run them with BOL so that the chaff does something I agree. just if it takes a pylon away I don’t see any value in it if it means I cant bring more missiles or bombs depending on the vehicle or task
Yeah, its a compromise, though for me personally. if im engaging a target in the F3 with IR missiles, something has gone terribly wrong (at least in SB)
But so long as its a choice, its fine
also the fact if it gets BOL, the chaff chads can choose between flares or chaff in the BOL too, its a buff for everyone.
We want BOL so that the harrier T.10 becomes a sidegrade AV8B(NA). Right at this moment, its a downgrade in every way that matters currently ingame
as an RB player its a mad dash to the side of the map and then fire IR missiles side on or you die to a spaamraam or phoenix. the BOL having flares is a lot more valuable for how we are forced to play
Yeah, so in the F3 at least, you can run them in place of fuel tanks. Which is what I would do in RB.
the t10 will always be slightly worse because of weight and guns but it would be nice to at least have two BOL pods to have equal CM amounts. they are the same BR after all
Dont forget the engines. AV-8B(NA) has about 10ish% more thrust
exactly, we know its going to be worse in someways then teh AV8B(NA). but having the BOL gives us (i own the AV8B) a reason to play both. one for the better cannons and flight performance. one for the better defensive systems (MAW AND BOL) and unique model
Lmao. Not everyone sits at home and has the time to read all that.
Is it better than its previous state? Yes. Therefore, it is a buff.
Although this is partially. True, he still makes fair decisions and opinions on most vehicles. He is typically just a news source.
side grade at best, you take either chaff OR Missile. not a buff if you end up loosing air to air capability
