I can explain ;)
Look at the estimated damage for the selected payload. From BR 8.0+ you need about 25k points per base. Then check which payload has the highest multiplier.
Napalm isn’t allways the best option.
23k is okay.
napalm gives slightly less rewards but absolutely worth it becuase you dont sacrifice missiles too much and have way less flight performance penalty
If you REALLY want to play this way…
Just take 1 base worthy of napalm and ALWAYS take 2 R-27ER1 with you. The other missiles whatever mix you want.
If someone comes for you from afar you most likely will outrange him with 27ER , especially in the same flight level… except if you get Fakoured. Other ARH most people will toss them below 10km in the lows and around 15km at highs… You can easily outrange them or at the very least keep them busy because it has IOG (relock).
For the best play the plane as a fighter… if you HAVE TO bomb something or you believe you have success in RP gains with bombing at these BR ranges go as i told you.
Kk
Yeah I was just worried about the loss of rewards bc napalms don’t weigh as much and when I do bomb I usually come in from the sides
Dark ages… Dark ages… Idk if it’s a skill issue but I generally suffer while trying to get kills and when i do its not as consistent as bombing lmao
So what you’re saying is just bring 50k~ in total and I’m set for two bases?
Is it a lot less? Or just a small difference (1000>)
Are the r27’s fox 3’s? I never really considered using them nor looking into them
Also it does sound like your implying that bombing bases isn’t a good strategy, is there anything else I should do instead?
At the Su-30’s BR you get around 400 points per base if you take 2 napalms. If you take 4, you get about half of that. If you take even more napalm, your score per base drops even further.
The best you can do is learn to play Air to Air. Let’s say a kill equals a base in RP terms.
I don’t know your scores and how much success you have with base bombing, but in this BR it’s relatively easy to get intercepted.
Now if you want maximum points…
You take 2 napalm , anything more means you HAVE TO kill more bases … for the ± same efficiency, you are slower, you have less missiles to fend off attackers and the matches don’t usually last that much that you’ll go around bombing bases uncontested anyway .
You take 1-2 R-27ER, they are fox 1s, the best fox 1s , they have bigger range and are faster than anything not a Fakour 90 or AIM54. I will assume you fly very low ,so if you find a target straight ahead , higher than you at 15-20km just toss it…at the very least he’ll have to maneuver and even if you lose lock you can relock him. You don’t lose the missile. If you don’t retaliate he will kill you anyway, so at least your missile has a range advantage and it’s less easy to kinematically avoid it than the RVV-AE , which is a much closer range missile in reality even if it is fox3. If you had RVV-SD it would be different.
In any case about missiles , take 2x27ER , 2x RVV-AE and whatever slot left R-73 and the 2 x Napalm.
So you go throw the bombs, then you get back and try make some kill.
If you succeed the first part, then kinda probably by the time the enemies have expended weapons and CMs , it can be more easy to get an air kill as well.
And slowly slowly you’ll learn air to air , too.
Blindly base bombing, efficient or not (it is if you mix things and multirole, alone it isn’t) …you don’t even learn , you don’t really help your team that result in more losses which is loss in RP/SL anyway if you want to grind (i believe that’s your point) .
Imagine i grinded Japan that way in the Phantom…even if i based bombed i always had air kills. Even if i couldn’t base bomb, i could always drop bombs and go dogfight (and many times i did that because i felt that in the specific game i could go better A-A, or i saw too many 104S which make it impossible to hit base anyway) , which is FAR BETTER in any occasion than just bet on bombing .
And if you achieve even 1 air kill or even assist you help your team winning much more than just toss bombs, if you win it’s double RP or something.
Good?
Or should i just fly really high and blindly fire off my missiles? (6 rvv-ae 4 r73) or is there anything else i can do for more rp
Are the napalm 2x 500? Then yes, that’s fine.
If you know how to notch the missiles and the radars you can go higher, but then get in with full fighter set-up and no bombs. If you want to go for a base, then you go for base low and around, be as match invisible as possible and after you release the bombs you go back and dogfight…if possible flank them.
In general try some patterns , see some videos , copy what other players do in the game…and what comes best for you adapt to it.
Going in blindly, at best you get 1:1 K/D not much.
