The IR reduction stuff doesnt work to the degree it should and the US mains complain about it enough on the forums that neither the RCS reduction or IR reduction dont work properly.
Its been tested and shown that the F-117 is (or at least was) hotter than an F-5 on reheat.
After that its just common sense.
Only 2x GBUs. No Guns or missiles for self defence, so vulnerable to any CAS or CAP in the air. No RWR or CMs so cant do anything if an SPAA or CAS/CAP get a lock. Not even supersonic. I doubt Id struggle to deal with one in the Stormer HVM unless it was physically out of range and that is nothing unique to the F-117 and I have seen them once or twice in GSB and I dont recall them being immune to the 2S6s or OSAs that redfor have.
Overall its a very niche aircraft that seems pretty pointless to take into GRB in its current state
Did I say otherwise?
I only said that it’s a good aircraft, which I confirmed with my statistics. Yes, I only have 100 battles, but with very good results for an aircraft with only two bombs.
I don’t understand what you’re arguing about. You don’t like it, you don’t have it, you don’t play GRB, so why is it so important for you to prove that it’s bad?
He doesn’t have it, but that doesn’t stop me from having only 20 deaths per 100 battles. I think he’s pretty much invisible xdd
You said you were suprrised by why people dont play it much. I was stating why. Its really niche aircraft that has a ton of limitations and is underperforming loads. Compared to other CAS aircraft at the same BR range like the Jag or A-10 its pretty vulnerable.
Id still account this more to either people being bad at countering CAS or the fact that SPAA/CAP tends to be reactive, so you might get 2x Bombs off before someone spawns in something to deal with you. The fact you have died 20 times tells me its not immortal and that is the point I was making. The IR signature is still WAY too hot and the RCS reduction isnt as great as people expect it to be and thus the 2 stack up to make an aircraft without CMs and RWR quite vulnerable.
IR signature overhaul would help a lot as it is hotter than an F-5 on reheat and really shouldnt be and further improvements to RCS modeling wouldnt hurt either. Fixing that would help turn it from a niche, meme aircraft, to one people may actually take more often to GRB.
I hope in the.next update they finally do something about the sorry state of USN boat camo, and maybe the USA tanks like M47 M60 and M103 that look like total garbage 🙄
I can definitely see how your Jag handles the load better. There’s a big difference in the opponents in GRB 10.0 and 10.3. You’d know this if you played more often.
I never said he was immortal. But all 20 deaths happened after the first bomb was dropped. That was when the enemy knew about me and was actively looking for me. And this is the result of other planes, not SPAA.
I mean that 10.0 more often plays with lower BRs and is more likely to see a ZSU-23-4M4 than even Osa, for example.
And yet no Osa has shot me down xdd
In datamines we’ve Leo Major for a Picture Profile, when’ll it be available in game ? We got our Moments of Valor for Canada, Leo Major was in the video (First seconds of the beginning)
I can confirm that the Stormer HVM can lock onto, and destroy the F-117 reliably (at least for Starstreak standards), I’ve done it a few times now. But It is very hard to shoot-down a plane which people don’t use in their lineups.
the moment they said that italy and the UK arguably some of the worst lines at top tier werent getting any forms of buff, SPAA or new vic it was destined to be a terrible update, the idea of only rolling out half of these new spaa is insane as well
the update never should have focused on SPAA if it was only going to 5 nations, would have been like ARH coming but hey only 5 nations get them the other 5 have to deal with SARH for 2 to 3 months
and while I do hope the SPAA are buffed beyond what they currently are part of me will laugh if they arent to spite everyone that said its fine for only half the nations to get what should be major buffs
also on the whole nation main thing the average person probably doesnt have the time to grind more then one tree, i know I sure as hell dont lol over the last couple of months ive gotten to what 7.7 for germany and the grind is awful with out both premiums and premium account
