Yeah, but can also be easily countered. If you’re aware.
And if you’re not aware, any ordnance will kill you regardless
Let me guess…“Drive out of the spawn”
“Use smoke”
“Being Aware”
This jet took off and fired effectively FnF missiles without even being registered on Radar.
There is no counter to this type of play. Being aware of what? No aircraft ping, no contrails nothing.

IIR can be counter because u have to have LoS which mean that they can also spot you
you have to know that most NATO radar isnt good because of how gaijin model it, i cannot even lock munnition with ADATS properly
you just need one friend or teamate to do the spotting with drone or rat scout and u are set for the rest of the map
Yes, no one does that. You can go play some 13.0 and notice that no one is doing this kind of stuff because it’s ineffective in a regular TRB match. Just like no one flies 20km from the map, launching one 38ml after another.
Its physically possible even now on live server.

You don’t even have to smoke gnss munitions
no because its not in live server yet
the more popular the tactic
more people that are currently 38mt would do it
you could argue that “ it will take too long/no fun/less challenging” yes. But the people that want easy kill will just do it anyway
because u can fire, turn back rearm in 30 secs and do it again
fly to battlefield look for target actually takes longer to just do this
The issue is you dont know they are coming.
Yes currently in the Stormer…I see a Su-30 vomit it’s missiles and I pop smoke and move and I am always safe.
If I dont see the jet and the contrails I cannot react and I would just die.
At no point was that Su-34 in a position to be detected by any SAM.
It’s the perfect sneak attack while the SAMS focus on threats they can detect and can see.

Also you know how the new spaa got powerful ESAs with NCTR? Surely seeing a radar ping with “Large” would make you do some defensive actions no?
Not through cliffs they havent. The Jet is barely off the runway perfectly protected by that big mountain

some map u are surrounded by mountains, so u can basically just get of the ground and fire

You could also take off and fly low and then launch them into the air over a mountain.
I can think of lots of maps that would work on.

Oh were they? They added broken missile, paired it with the best aa proceed to release more planes that could carry them (when in reality couldnt), finally added new spaas after 1 or 2 years, completely ignored almost 10k reply post and proceed to buff the missile.
Were they aware? Absolutely
Did they want to fix it? Absolutely not
Just to remind u guys. When gchibbibjob tried to ruin economy and released an explanation forum post. In all of this wall of text they didnt say simple “sorry” EVEN ONCE.

Anyways I already addressed this earlier. It’s lose-lose regardless of ordnance
the intercepting power of new spaa isnt good either
the old one is still bad
u have to grind for new one, so theres gonna be a period of time where CAS is still unbearable
after people getting newer SPAA i HOPE its going to be more bearable but then we should see how it perform on live server

Funnily enough, the topic of the 10k thread didn’t benefit from this buff.
So basically anything a smart cas player would do even in the current live server
yes but since there isnt gnss on live they have to use mt and exposed themselves
but then even if they exposed themselves no spaa can reach them(aside from their own Pantsir)
cas-ing with any CAS other than su-30/34 is harder than you think, probably because you only use kh-38s and play RU
But hammers with this kind of guidance already exist, so theoretically hammers can currently do this in the live server?
We just wanted a simple answer and they provided none. Since it was so heated it was impossible to miss by devs. They ignored all of this and still evade giving any answers. Its just awful that we as a players have to experiance this
IOG doesn’t stop you from launching batch after batch of 38ml missiles on enemy spawn even now. Almost all of them will land in the spawn area.
