Maybe its just because I play Britain. Gaijin hate us.
Also does not help that it’s very easy to die early on in air where you get nothing after 5 minutes of playing.
Yet despite a 5 minute lifetime and a 1206/m repaircost, it still comes out to 14k SL somehow?
haha, well, I play USSR and the guns are rather tricky imo. Currently my highest nation with air (USSR) is 7.3 arb.
Wait until you get to the 9/10s. you will start to steam roll everything. Soviets have some truly OP aircraft at high/top tier
Happy to hear that. I am struggling hard with the guns cause of skill issue learning them.
Better to play with USSR than to be on the receiving end of the Su-11 at least.
That’s actually the plane I am flying. It flies great, but it’s extremely hard getting used to the guns due to their fire rate and muzzle velocity.
It should be a higher BR but Gaijin is not done milking it yet, so good time to be playing it I suppose, assuming one day they’ll fix it.
Gaijin works in mysterious ways. Who knows. For now, it’s a good plane for grinding RP, cause I will switching it out the second I find another plane I find easier to use.
I mean at higher BRs it just gets a mess, anything with good missiles is going to get some kills, an Su-25, Mig-21S or a Yak-38 will do just that.
Mig-21S has good missiles ?
It gets R-3R radar missiles so you can get head on kills, considering you can fight 8.7 planes without any sort of defense and who fly at less than half your speed, it generally allows you to get some easy kills every game, which seems to be all that the gameplay is about at that point.

I’ve used R-3 family missiles and they’re far from being reliable. Sometimes they’ll fail to hit afk targets and will obviously struggle a lot against even mildly maneuvering enemies considering they’re 10G missiles.
On the other hand, I think Yak-38s with 4x R-60s going against 8.3 flare-less bricks will do a much better job of getting easy kills than 21S will at 9.7.
From the front they seem pretty effective, and plenty of flare-less bricks at 8.7 or 9.0 or 9.3 or 9.7… as high as 10.3 at the very least.
They seem to be very effective if people decide to ignore them.
I don’t know, to me it seems that R-60s at 9.3 are much better at getting easy kills than R-3s at 9.7.
Yeah, but that kinda goes for a lot of missiles, and RB is just a mode where you turn off your brain because you cannot get invested in these 2 minute type games and you just go on auto pilot and do the same thing over and over and over again.
When you don’t expect it it can pretty easily get you.
I rather get the RP for this than not.
Yeah, but it’s not a lot of RP either way no matter how you perform.
It actually is a LOT.
Not in the short games at all, you get 5-6k for killing multiple enemy planes, but you can get 10k+ for a longer game just killing a few ground targets.
