Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 5)

I rarely die when multipathing, its been more reliable to me than when i BVR and try to notch (i know how to notch Fox1 and Fox3)

Why are you telling me stuff i already know?

Yeah, the tricky thing Ive found comes from relying on BOL chaff like on the F3 or FA2. Which does bugger all vs most Fox-3s. Usually will defeat the seeker, but way later than it would in something like the GR4 dropping large chaff. Usually resulting in near-misses

I really just can’t be bothered trying to notch when 9 times out of 10 there are ARHs coming from multiple angles anyways

Yeah, same thing when i play the Gripen and im out of large chaff and im left with my BOLs

God they need to fix BOLs. Even if they are worried about the continuous flaring, there is NO excuse for the chaff nerfs

Yeah i wanna see how im supposed to notch a MICA coming from 3 and 5o’clock, 3 120s coming from straight above and my left, and the like 10 R-77 from all other directions left

Yeah they really need to fix them

BOL is so mid half time doesnt work cause your engines (at least on tomcat) are 200000000000F

we need bigger maps it should solve that issue spread people out more

That would make the issue of having to defend against missiles launched from multiple angles even worse

Furballs are still gonna form, but takes 10 mins instead of 5 then, lower playercounts is what we need. 16v16 on a larger map would just result in the same stuff, 8v8 or 6v6 would fix it more, even on current maps

FOX-3 is easier to defend against farther they fire them

no that just make matches to short as average toptier match last 5 minutes before one team is whipped out

and dont forget, the Harriers are hotter.

But yes, Should be large calibre “flares” with short burn time + standard calibre chaff.

Instead we have

micro flares with short burn time + micro chaff.

That is something else to consider when it comes to the F-14B. It should have the highest CM count at that BR, with twice that of the Viggen DI, F3 Late and FA2

yeah but F14B also has probably the easiest radar to notch and the hottest engines for what they are harrier only has hot engines cause gaijin modleling stuff wrong

I mean, I’d prefer getting maps with more complex terrain to provide some actual natural cover, but smaller lobbies would help too

if you like multipathing water maps would be nice as you can just fly low to that

You are thinking so wrong, 16v16 but with bigger maps doesnt fix anything. Look at any of the somewhat bigger Operation maps ingame. Furballs still form way too fast in Air RB

we need bigger maps and more players thinking 20 vs 20 on massive maps 50+ mile increase on what we have now
