Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

i dont actually recall having a german on my team. then again i always play with a french main so that might be it

also goes without saying that one or two typhoons mixed with reds wont do much against the nato horde in sim

Kinematicly C-4 is same as C-3, C-2, C-1. Only difference from A, B - slightly smaller fins, which doesnt improve range a lot.
So, that means that theyre equivalent of 120A/B too.

That “NATO” has only one usefull plane, which always sits on one side…

huh, i guess i lost my ability to count.
15E, 15C, typhoon, the occasional 16C which i only count for half a point and probably one im forgetting.
either way, having had chatgpt count the number of objects in that sentence because it can apparently count better than me, its more than one

Rafale?

didnt count it because its usually on my side. but you could add it yeah

Sim lobbies just do be weird like that

15E is useless, since it cant do anything other than attemp to sling amraam, which countered by easy multipath and notching. At same time it just getting R-27ET into it’s two massive hot sun.
15C basicly same, but not that hot and worser for BVR. In WVR worser than Su-27 for example
Typhoon is only plane that matches its counterparts, due of them being almost/same planes.
16C is just bad, low small CM amount. Only 6 missiles. Bad dogfight perfomance

Indeed.

“Game convention. Not a bug.”

Intentional, artificial nerf to these tanks.

They didn’t even make them anti-spall, which is one of the main points of these baskets. Instead, they generate ADDITIONAL spall.

So it’s not even a “you lose the turret but your crew survives more” trade-off; it’s straight up a nerf.

youre so close to getting it.
you know what happens when a team gets forced onto the ground and then gets held back right? you have quite a lot of sim matches under your belt so id say you do

Although the Spice-250 is most definitely not coming this update, it’s worth nothing that this weapon can be used on the F-16s as well. Ofc given their date of representation ingame, it would be better to add such weapons to later Barack 2020 aircraft if any, rather than the ones we have now.

Another team starts attacking from multipath, due of bad launch parameters missing too. Everything goes into WVR, wheres on blue side only one good plane - Typhoon.

and what about the fact the entire enemy team has an advantageous position over the other so that even if you go wvr there will always be someone coming from above to 9M you all while one or two players farm ground targets which only worsens the ticket drain

If youre about getting 3rd partied - issue of player amount, not specific side you playing.

except its much harder to help a teammate when the enemy is under constant cover as i mentioned earlier. you cant win if your entire team is in a horrible position compared to the enemy
and even if your team somehow manages to break out itll just happen again.
spamraam until stuck on your half and low, get third partied, maybe break free, spamraam again. rinse and repeat

Not much, only difference - youre a bit limited in maneuvr, since youre quite close to ground

Well if I remember correctly they kinda did the same thing with jdams it wasn’t on dev but it did get them when the update came out so maybe when the update is out cause it did carry 7p

what’s todays cope flavor of the day

let see, Gajin making turret baskets part of the turret ring instead of the turret itself, toptier jets diving into a furball firing missiles and uh F18s should have something called aim-7Ps?

edit: I agree with the first part tho. Why would you make the turret basket part of the turret ring module? a single pixel hit the bottom of the basket bam, your entire ring is down have a 37sec repair

huh, some surprisingly valid ones hmm…
