Major Update “Air Superiority” - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 3)

the US has plenty of abrams options left. China does not.

Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t virtually unflareable like the single easiest low-skill kill in the entire game AIM-9M (US suffers) but it requires a strategy that is more akin to the IRCCM missiles than all of the other non-IRCCM non-medium range missiles with IR seekers.

Maybe a skill issue but as I said, annoying and uncanny.

Got to remember, most scenarios IRL don’t include 30+ missiles being shot at one plane in a sortie…it’s more like single digits.

Exceptions exist but it isn’t the norm.

I will say that I have enjoyed the Mirage 2000s so far, definitely looking forward to the Rafale when that time comes. All the French pilots never stopped talking about the Rafale and I can see why, purely off of the curves, its a thing of beauty.

Also it would be nice if a premium plane which is de-facto a dedicated bomber means any kind of overhaul to base spawn times or literally any mechanics to make dedicated bombing a viable playstyle.

maybe hopefully we get a surprise 2nd devblog today

Well true, but even then we just manually launch CMs. There is the what now I guess some people would consider “old” video from the Iraq war where an F-16 pilot evaded six ground launched missiles while popping CMs only to find out when he landed that none of his countermeasures actually launched.

As i see it, thats the only way they can justify if the premium comes at 10.7. Why would the event vehicle without guided munitions be 11.0 if the premium comes in at 10.7

I really hope not. We aren’t ready for ARH missiles. Between Phoenix, AIM-9M and R-27ER (sometimes R-73 or Magic II) players either need ground clutter to avoid being killed, or giant buckets of flares and insane flight performance to not be insta-gibbed by anyone flying an F-16C.

Climb above ground clutter? Die.
Go somewhere you can’t put a hill/mountain between your engine and AIM-9M seekerhead? Die.

Not really sure how fun ARH will make the game.

@Smin1080p this vehicle that wasn’t possible that now is. Was it a technology thing because it was to advanced or was it actually being able to source data for it stopping the team being to implement it?

But dont know from where did you guys get Thaiwan Abrams from. The Gripen would be better fittef for what Smin said.

Nah it’s new tech tree CBT packs hehe

I bet 2 bucks the new Prem Tornado will have the same fate as the T2/Early.
Its just so pointless and bad that the sales will be so low the take it out the next updated and replace it or just bring it back for GE from time to time.
Also the title you get with the pack describes it very good “awful”
