It's time for Gaijin to finally reverse the ahistorical nerf to BOL countermeasures [Poll]

+1 give the BOL pod the effectiveness it very clearly should have, not this quarter assed shit.

Im in favour of it becoming a premium equal to the GR7 at 12.3 with 4x BOL and 9m

(would like to see harrier ii aircraft carrying 6 missiles too)

No, please no.

The only reason I purchased it was to have a Harrier Gr7 at a fun BR again.

I want a harrier i like the hell away from those wretched F5 tryhards

Wow, yet it’s still pointless there will be no change.

Yep. I am going to make a few bug reports for the Rooivalk. Wish me luck in will get looked at within the next year.

I feel bad for you on that one

Yeah. South Africa is hated and treated even worse than Britain, France and Italy combined and on top of that gets a bonus of being in the GB tree, meaning it gets a compound nerf.

But regarding the inaccuracies of the Rooivalk; it has the wrong HMDS (Helmet Mounted Display Sight), should be able to aim weapons and cannon with HMDS, should have a PNVS, should have lots of different rocket warheads besides HEAT and more. It can also fire V3C and A Darter (was cleared to fire both, V3C in the 90s and A Darter 2010s).

Yeah, unfortunately a certain someone was taken from jail and put in power and the development stopped. Same with the development of all the other things.

Gaijin just seems to be more focused on what people play and what makes them money they are a business afterall.

I’m not gonna even mention the politics. It will lead me to say so many s|urs that I would go from the power of a omnipotent being to a bum in a sewer prision.

If they buffed the Rooivalk to somewhat being accurate then it would rake in so much money, it wouldn’t even be a joke.

I’m also likely going to buy the RAH 66 because it’s one of my favourite helis and it is a stealth spin plen

NEED this fix ASAP. might not be a user myself but just because soviet can only put 96 countermeasures and not develop a launch rail countermeasure dispenser like Sweden does, this does not mean that NATO should suffer from Gimped plane because they develop an effective high-capacity countermeasure solution.

There are several problems with this statement:

At the moment NATO planes dont suffer due to how good the Amraams are (and they are getting the C-5).

The R-77 is a good missile, but perhaps wrongly modelled, and does not really compete with the Amraam from mid ranges and up.

You can relatively easily overcome the R-73 by simply being mindful of the WEZ of R-73. (Keep your distance, its not hard)

Its a bit of a hard-stretch to say that those aircraft suffer.

Also: the BOL pod nerf happened for the same reason multipathing was nerfed - it simply allowed players to next to fully ignore certain game mechanics other players could not afford to ignore.

There is literally no sacrifice for the BOL pods - they are essentially free. Which is realistic/historical but at the same time we are playing a game. Those planes still have that extra. You still have that extra capability through even the nerfed BOL pods.

People tend to forget what the Gripen was like during its glory-phase. And I can tell you, it was not nice.

It will make uptiers, and stock grinds even worse all across the board.

The Aim-120 isn’t that good and the C-5 isn’t much better.

Very easy and convenient to say when you’re slinging the R-73s.

No, it happened because they developed the meta into an IRCCM meta where radar missiles weren’t viable and staying low was easy. Having immunity to IRCCM missiles on top of that for the Gripen (since it’s already a low temp aircraft with a good flare pattern) made the perfect storm.

What is the problem with this?

Except now we’re in a whole different game. ARH missiles, more IRCCM missiles, and flightmodels mattering the least it has in the history of AirRB.

The F-16C has 120 cm. The F-15E has 120 cm in a ground loadout. The F/A-18C has 120 cm. With these new spaa, it will take a healthy amount of countermeasures to beat them. Even then, having the slow mav won’t help a lot.
Gaijiob. Gimme my bol pods
