Smin, can answer if Germany is getting ANY CAS improvements this patch?

The British get a tornado with Payway 4, the Germans don’t get a tornado with LJDAM. It’s all very fair.
The British were short of two aircraft capable of CAS.
Germans are content with not having one.

Poor Smin, being pestered like he is the one who made the decision, when he’s just the messenger.

Again, missile interception can happen. And it’s not hard, at all. A pantsir can easily destroy a full spike spam and still have missiles left

I am going to make a suggestion thread for the implementation of LOAL-capable missiles:

Instead of removing their FNF capabilities entirely… why not implementing these weapons as traditional/basic FNF instead of LOAL?

That way, they would remain balanced while still bringing new capabilities… without any FNF capabilities at all, these munitions are just pointless.

I agree that LOAL would be too strong for the game, and even problematic for teammates; but there should be nothing to stop the developers from giving these munitions FNF capabilities without necessarily modelling LOAL into them.

and it’s only gonna get worse

Smin, maybe you can answer this but with the UK getting again CAS where is the Tornado IDS ASSTA3.1???

True
Let’s remove all types of missiles that the type 81 can’t deal with then

don’t be overhyped about it

There is one thing I hate more than CAS; unbalance!

I hate that some nations get the luxury to get access to excellent CAS munitions and capabilities while others have their own nerfed to unreasonable degrees.

I agree that LOAL is too strong- but I think it would be perfectly fine to take the creative liberty to model them as basic FNF instead of removing their FNF capabilities entirely.

Gr.4 should get its wingmounted brimestones. Like the PGMs were only tested just like the wingmounted brimestones so why not add them? They are already nerfed

“we dont wanna add them ahistorically (we dont want to give britain 9 fire and forget AGMs) because it would be imbalanced (dont worry the Su34 with 6 KH38s will be perfectly fine comrade)”
