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

Typhoon has one of the worst top tier Radars in the game on a par with the Su-27.
It’s not as explained allowing all jets to get higher and faster increases the strength of their weapon systems. Typhoon and F-15 excell in BVR because they are the fastest and the highest!

You can still choose to fly low if you want though, Gaijin will never remove multipathing we will be using Meteors and 120Ds and flying 40 metres will still be a counter to them…

We might aswell add respawns then, as thats all currently we are doing landing and jumping in a brand new jet with another 8 missiles

Fair. Personally as a US Main tho, I always just thought that I was the issue and not the aircraft and that the other nations just had better pilots lol.

You just said you want everyone to start at a high altitude, but now instead of having people take off of the airfield and then climb you want everyone that doesn’t want to LARP BVR to spend time dropping down to ground level?

So, let me get this straight, you are against airfields because they allow people to be “careless”, but you would be fine with respawns, which would allow people to be completely reckless?

Arcade battles, but without the reload lol
And somehow the games have to end in a tie when everyone is out of weapons

If no one has weapons, the game ends with him screaming “skill issue!”

Because I see two arguments, I’ll comment on both of them.

Air-
Deleting the airfield is a terrible take, as it’s 100% possible to not get a kill before running out of ammo. That makes it so you either have to take the best(OP) vehicle in the game with the strongest weapons or become free RP. Anything below meta is pointless to play; even worse than they are now. I can’t see any upsides to this idea because there are none.

Ground-
Just because we are running low on MBTs doesn’t mean we’re out of options. Of course, there’s modern support vehicles, but there also the (early) Cold War and WW2, both of which have so many vehicles they can hog updates for years each(as seen by the fact we’ve just stated see vehicles from then be added more then once in a blue moon(no unattainable don’t count, and naval is forgotten by 80% of the players so it also doesn’t count).
Also, variants are not C&P, if you think that then you must think the Sherman Firefly is C&P of the M4 which then 99% of WT must be deleted.

I can already taste the amount of salt that would be spread across the forums if they added such a mode and kept back-ups and multiple crew slots. Complete and utter P2W lol

And defeating BVR missiles means changing altitudes you dont just stay at high altitudes if anything you fire and then dive to make the opposing missile have to work harder and drag it into the thin air.

Well you fire off 8 missiles and 30 seconds later someone hands you brand a new plane for all intents and purposes that is kind of another spawn.

What if we just make a gamemode with respawns and no weaponry at all, so you can only get kills by ramming into people.

I used to do 1v1s on GRB maps, very similar to this game mode he’s describing. It will literally just be the guy with the best radar winning. I’d know since I was the only one of my friends with top tier

As I’ve said before, it would be very much like the tournament mode where only a select few planes are competitive and anything that isn’t a fighter would be useless.

Tank sumo sounds like a fun event.

Likely have to be like the Rocket League(and races) event where they give a preset vehicle.

It’s also possible not to get a kill now. How often do you see at top tier an F-15 or Typhoon with 5+ kills. Least with this idea everysingle top tier jet would have the same advantages the “Meta” jets have.
It’s impossible for every player to get a kill and hardly ever happens.
Thats your view

Ground is different there is zero concern for a vehicle you just spawn another.
