Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

in their bug that counts as balancing decision, that report is open since quite a while and didnt get touched, it is the same for quite a lot of acknowledged bugs is because of balancing reasons

Fingers crossed. Last time I used the Lynx, I basically gave up with the IR missiles. If the target was too close, the missile missed

no need to raise the BR tho, that is the BR range before radar AA with SACLOS missiles so I think that, having these missiles below that is an issue, just makes players stay further and not suicide bomb as easily

Oh it wont fix that. The optical track mode is for SAMs not A2A platforms. So the TAM

I guess the C, because skyflashes aren’t that powerful compared to aim7M/27er

Ah. never mind then. Can also guarantee the Stormer wont be included in that fix as well

that has nothing to do with that look at the type 81 it is a superior IR missle and in the future we are getting ground launched IRIS T variants, you are saying those should be balanced below actual saclos missles?

the M247 with HEVT is more effective at dealing with targets reliably than the stingers rn

that is not what I meant, the stingers are currently below SACLOS which are more efficient at hitting targets after you learn the new horrible physics system for em. the Stingers are also a good IR missile, the Type 81 is at 10.0 if I recall same as the LAV-AD

Stormer has 2 fates:

They admit defeat after several years of it being a broken and buggy mess the cant code correctly in a multiplayer setting and give it LMM which has explosive proxy (albeit small) and longer range.

They remove it from the game and give us Tracked Rapier as sorry

still if Stingers/ mistrals start performing better their br natural would increase as a result as well, just like any other game concept

Genuinely don’t see a future where Starstreak HVM is fixed.

I could see them sitting at 10.0 and 10.3 but beyond that not really, only reason the LAV-AD is where it is at is the 25mm and hyrdas

@ErrantAlgae imagine Tow 2B or spikes getting a fix and they start oneshooting everything, u would want them being raised in BR as well wouldnt u?

I was thinking the SA thing that was in a leak list, but yeah, i see them calling it quits and replacing it, either full on deleting or foldering it below something else. But by all accounts Starstreaks are broken in general. They dont actually work as A2A missiles when fired from a heli either. They just phase through the aircraft

I mean if you use them correct they can, tho the ground based spike from what I recall is still super bad, also the Tows are better anti air missiles than the stingers from me experience

The only good starstreak is the one I spawn at the start of the match and use as a TOW missile against BMP-2 and SAM players in my AH-1 lmao

tow 2b were like that. They didnt even have to hit in order to kill back then

yes, but gajin wants them to stay at lower brs like 9.7 for ozelot or 9.3 santal, since already at that br missle spaas are starting to get needed

Yep, which is a shame really. That that is all they can be used against these days
