Like I tried ARB and no way, the F4 is just faster then me and i can’t get a base, I tried ASB, impossible at 12.3 when you have to fight Pulse doppler radars and russia.
Am i missing a hidden play style that’s not team killing the F4 before it reaches the base, I go out with minus SL but at least i get RP
Gold eagles.
Simulator battles probably the easiest actually.
ye u can technically sneak by but thats really luck based…
I personally didnt find it too bad (in 2024), in either ARB or ASB. But it was fiddly. It has gotten a lot harder since then.
In ASB you need to take a wide arc, ideally on maps with some cover, so you can terrain mask. If you pick your routing right, you can generally avoid the enemy team. All tactics learnt when flying the GR1 vs Mig-29s. So trust me, could be worse. Just make sure to be picking the 11.3-12.3 lobbies when they come round, hedge every possible advantage (though the Mig-29s moving down does suck for this)
In ARB, you need to try and punch through too a base, Flanking slightly left, you are slow stock, so it can be tedious and you may find yourself beaten to bases quite often. but generally managable. Ive often found that whilst the left hand bases are taken, the right hand ones arent always, Though, this was before the great compression. So… I do imagine it is harder now. There is also always AI targets to go hit, reward is low, but not nothing.
Though, it is total BS that the Tornado SLE gets IRCCM stock and the GR4 does not and the GR4/SLE would be more appropriate at 12.0.
You don’t have time to route anymore as everyone and their mom is base bombing at the 12.3 bracket sadly
In not a single round there ware not 7 F4S that ware going to faster then me to the base
Ground battles, make people’s day miserable. Otherwise, arcade?
