Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

I need BOL to modeled to IRL specs and therefore be worth taking and not just extra weight half the time

They enemy wondering why there is 95 different aircraft moving at the same speed of the F15 on there TWS. ::::))))

Ahh, right

What we need is chaff to be reworked.

1 million times this

ah yes i remember that topic
the fact that merk 1 has the same armor as merk2 and 3 and merk 4 is = single 200mm piece of cast hom armor

I blame the Gripen rat meta for why they massacred my poor BOL pods.

Yes, but BOL specifically, the amount of Chaff released is 1/4 what it should be from a BOL chaff packet

I find it very funny every time I listen to fairy tales from top CAS pilots about “just leave the respawn”. They accuse top SPAA (SAM) players of lacking brains, when the pilots are brainless and do not understand the problems in the characteristics of the (SAM) themselves, as well as the ground maps themselves. In our game, maps are the size of a football field, flat as a desktop. 85% (if not all 99%) of leaving the respawn will be instantly detected by enemy tanks and destroyed. We have absolutely unrealistic terrain with giant hills and differences that allow CAS (especially helicopters) to fly up to your respawn from behind and fire at it with ATGMs/Rockets or bomb from a pitch-up position, instantly hiding again behind the hills. Most game maps are complete garbage the size of a football field, game models of houses are designed for midgets/dwarfs and are smaller than tanks/FlakRakRad/Pansir 1C, etc.
In reality, radars are placed in such a way that they are not in the enemy’s kill zone but at the same time do not have dead zones for the radio beam, in the game hills, trees, ravines, houses, etc. are generously placed on the map, and often specifically near your respawn.

different nations also use different forms of chaff with different types of efficiency.

Yeah, 100% was. Harrier Gr7 had as many for nearly a year and half. No issues. F-14B had as many, no issues.

US Mains got mad they were no longer META. Instant BOL nerf to nerf the gripen. Which just nerfed everything else with BOL to near uselessness

My favourite maps are the ones that are surrounded by natural cover for the planes and feature a lot of buildings and trees blocking the visibility for the SPAAs and SAMs

Nailed it.

What I hate even more than the concept is how extremely hostile, toxic and personal they get about all of this.

Healthy and constructive disagreements? What’s that? Best to start rambling about “noobs”, “skill issues” and going even personal about it.

My personal belief is that BVVD was playing the game and got mad after a periodic flaring Gripen mopped his SU-27 in game and he instantly nerfed the flares. (This is a joke)

I mean unless it is a KH38MT all you need to do is reposition every 15 secs or so with the pantsir and nothing will be able to hit you.

But with everything else yes the maps are trash.

Maybe soon perhaps. If they indeed add F-2 this update and they want to give it any form of guided cas the only targeting pod it has ever used is Sniper pod. Unless they dont give the F-2 CAS of any kind 🤣

Please makes dreams come true

I feel like the THAAD system would be super good because it’ll be able to shot down multiple munitions at a time. Not as good against aircraft but it’ll create a little zone of safety. Also i’m pretty sure most players will be able to hit eastern Anti rad missiles with it.

It’s the russian theater defense that might suffer. It will easily get over loaded with superior anti rad missiles.
