For the record, I don’t think there’s a gap. I’m not saying I need any major changes. I just honestly hate looking at the MiG-29 without the R-73, it’s just not how it’s supposed to look.
Frankly I don’t care if the BR’s change all that much, minor nations do huge gap leaps down the lines at times.
I wouldn’t see a problem with adding another MiG-29 at 12.3 or 12.0 depending on their approach to fulfilling that wish, but russia having 2 12.3s or R-73s at 12.0 would start so many problems with the US players again
Yeah. Well, minor nations need additions too. I’m not complaining really about anything other than the aesthetic of the 9.13 being ruined by the R-60M.
Plus, IMO, given most western planes have a higher CM count, and that you only get 2 R-27’s, with the new flight model you basically dump your best two missiles and get stuck in the furball where if you don’t leave quickly, you transform into bait for some F-16 or another enterprising plane.
I don’t feel like 4 R-73’s would muck it up all that bad. I think it would in general make the 9.13 slightly more competitive than it’s peers at BR, but it’s a slight advantage, not some Object 279 level seal club.
But hey, US mains seem to get pissed if anything is even close in capability at BR to their planes so I guess I’ll crawl back into my hole lmao.
Yeah, I don’t think there is a proper solution to make everybody happy.
It would help a lot if they reduced the playercount for ARB top tier or added a setting to choose between the lobby-sizes.
Would probably also have been better if they added R-73s without the IRCCM to give you guys a step up from the R-60s. This IRCCM/ECCM stuff wasn’t really needed anyways
Yeah, already read about that, shame that only the US and USSR get to have that many helis
Why are they adding the Black Hawk anyways? The Apache not good enough?
Black Hawk is maybe even more known than Apache. It’s true legend across all military vehicles and it has also quite good battle value, since it will have good AT and CAS capabilities
Well, a vehicle being iconic or well known as the reason for implementation only works for the US and USSR then, coz I am still waiting for the V-Bombers, Gnat, Hawks and Alpha Jets
