So the bug reports for SRAAM two years ago are still not fixed and relatively simple to fix inaccuracies are left for months but a completely falsified capability gets added?
When do we get the fix for the random switches between radar lock and IRST? If you enable IRST even once at any time on Eurofighter or rafale, your radar locks will be bugged for the rest of the game
Helicopters are only fragile as gaijin made them fragile. The “sky tank” or mi-24 was pretty well known for taking lots of damage and carrying a lot of armament, while also being able to carry troops.
Yes to be fair SRAAM is not that well known.
It also prevents gaijin actually having to think about proper balance for UK vehicles that could carry them.
The iconic Hunter (British built and designed fighter) is near unplayable in the British tech tree.
While a few other nations get vastly better variants of it with better missiles, some get CM, and one even gets guided ATG missiles.
I could live with not having CMs at that BR, not all do. But the greater issue is the supersonics you face with an AAM that only works at point blank range. Ive had WAY too many shots miss because the SRAAM self-destructed a few metres from impact. But what is really frustrating is the FGA9 also being 9.7 (in SB). If it was 9.0 (like the FR F6) or 9.3 (like it is in RB) then it would have one or two bracket where its worth taking over the F6. But there just isnt.
Nearly identical to the F6 but has 2x Aim-9Es instead of the SRAAMs, has reinforced wing spurs (like the F58) so its a little harder to wing rip and it has a drag chute.
I dont think it has the upgraded AVON 207 like the F6 and F58 have.
It would be far better suited at 9.3, than 9.7 as its closer in performance to the [FR] F6 and J34 than it is to the F6 and F58
But none of the BRs make sense.
Hunter F1 is 9.0 with no suspended weapons
[FR] Hunter F6 with 2x Aim-9B is 9.3 in RB and 9.0 in SB
[SW] J34 (Hunter Mk50)with 2x Aim-9B is 9.0 in RB and 9.3 in SB
Hunter FGA9 with 2x Aim-9E is 9.3 in RB and 9.7 in SB
Hunter F6 with 4x SRAAM is 9.7 in both
[GE] Hunter F58 with 2x Aim-9P, CMs and RWR is 9.7 in both
8.3 might be too low, but they made a big deal about moving down some “korean era aircraft with no AAMs that were struggling against later aircraft with AAMs” a few BR changes ago but forgot Britain and France and the odd aircraft from a few other minors nations existed. Should be 8.7 these days at the minimum. It was apparently good when it was top tier, but those days are long gone
I personally don’t think a change in SRAAM will ever happen.
I would like if they either added a Harrier Gr.1a at 8.7-9.0 or removed SRAAM from Gr.1 and have it at that Br.
Yeah, either could work, but they wont make the GR1 AAM-less because it would too radically change the performance of the aircraft and people purchased it with SRAAMs. It use to be good and can still be in gamemodes better suited for A2G roles like SB, so I would be a little miffed if it suddenly lost them. But at the same time. 0 Excuse for not fixing either the Harriers or SRAAMs
