In it’s current state, the new M-346FA Master is not relevant at all. It’s Derby missiles places it too high of a BR for it’s flight model, and 12.3 in ground without fire and forget ordinance is not really usable with the AA systems present. I see some options to make it relevant, outlined in the poll. According to a post I made during the dev server (M-346FA has armament options missing), there are armament options missing.
For option 2, I am aware that no aircraft with Fox-3 missiles (Apart from the AIM-54A) is below 13.0, but this one has such poor flight performance for it’s BR it would make sense. Kinda like how the A-10A has AIM-9Ls at 10.3.
Open to better suggestions than the ones I listed.
- Add Spice 250 + AIM-9L/I, keep current BR
- Move BR down to 12.7/12.0 with current loadout
- Remove Derby, Add AIM-9L/I, Move to 11.7 for both air and ground
It’s sad to see such a cool little aircraft be punted into the void with it’s BR.
