irl the systems that we have in game are probably a lot more potent as well

Are you forgetting about the whole console community?
That’s about 31% of the players.
And Xbox is about 16% of that.
So your okay with 16% of users not being able to use Vr?
31% not being able to access the gaijin market?
Like… that mentality is not kool.
I never said vr lol.
Easy solution, console players can only play against console player and keyboard vs keyboard.
Why must I dumb down anything to accommodate for the lowest denominator.
Yes you can’t just avoid a 120 by tickling a notch and dropping 1 chaff.
Not can you avoid it by just flying low.
Things got a 80% chance of getting you in lots of different situations.
120 is so gimped in this game far worse then most counterparts.
Imagine how quickly realistic multipathing and realistic countermeasure resistance for ARH missiles would kill the game mode. It would be hilarious.

Ehh make bol realistic for 1 it’s gimped like crazy as a balancing thing.
It would be great for actual BVR where you crank and fire. Or go cold. I don’t think it’s right that someone who puts in all the effort to get above an opponent and fire the missile in the perfect envelope just for it to miss due to MP and the other dude gets the kill from shooting up.
Sorta the reason why look down shoot down is so powerful irl you can’t hide at low level as easy.
I think they need to make the maps much larger so you obviously see less people but increase the rewards to compensate.
BOL works fine though. You can notch missiles at point blank with it. And that is on Typhoon which isn’t exactly a cold plane.
People that want BOL buffed in the current game basically think it should cast an invincibility shield around them.
Realistic notch gates and missile mechanics would make notching an option of last resort and you would immediately get blown up on your runway in Sim mode without multipathimg.
Everyone says they want bigger maps…except when you look at what people choose to play, it’s mostly Denmark where all the gameplay basically happens in the 4 squares between the single red airfield on the right and the nearest blue airfield.
Or you load up a Vietnam, enemy players die 1-2 times, and then the game is over.

Former Sim air player here. It was my exclusive mode since 2014 when it first became available for ps4 users (which i played on at the time) until a few years ago. For me there were 2 major hammer blows that happened to sim. The first was the lack of development on EC. The second and final deathblow for me and sim was when they nuked the economy. After thay i tried too keep playing by subsidizing my sim time with money earned from rb but it was just one too many blows the any enjoyment in the mode so i gave up. Gaijin has won, the killed Sim for me. I wont be back though i really do miss the good times… oh well, nothing lives forever…

I’ve heard enough from you now lol.
You just confused chaff and IRDs
You realize that BOL pofs can take chaff right? And that the complaints regarding BOL center around both it’s chaff and flare effectiveness…which both work fine.
What I’ve seen British mains ask for is effectively doubling the current effectiveness of BOL in the game.
What’s next? Buffing Lightning F.6 to have same turn rate as F-16?

Chaff is alright
IR is the one that is quite bad and not really useful on certain aircraft
BOL IR is more designed to counter IIR missiles and i believe there is a report in for its effectiveness

God forbid the British mains ask for any of their things to be modeled correctly.
You are delusional on the Harrier please don’t
92% of people here seem to agree that the current levels of BOL chaff effectiveness is not good enough.
Which this gets back to point of original discussion. Currently ARH missiles are extremely easy to notch in Air Sim and can be notched at point blank ranges with very generous angles.
And yet most sim players will still prefer to play on a flat multipathing map with no terrain features to speak of.
How much do you think top tier sim gameplay would improve without multipath or if the reliable notch width was reduced by 50% of what it currently is? Even a 50% reduction would be far more reliable than real world counterparts.

Except I’m correct mytho
Yeah they can be as dumb as they want and be completely immune to radar missiles launched at them.
I don’t think it would really improve the game mod at top tier as it would make certain airframes with much better avoincs like Radar and RWR a even bigger advantage
Okay and what do you think happens to the game mode when that feature is removed? What happens to the game mode when there are not any new / novice players for experienced sim players to farm for kills? Do you think experienced sim players with their full VR / Track IR /etc setups are going to play the game against each other?
If I’m being honest they should make MP harder but leave notching.
Then people can’t just straight up ignore the Mach 3 deleter being launched at them. It would require them to notch which is easy enough.

MP isn’t really an issue if the missile is fired from high enough
