A very interesting observation from someone who doesn’t play GRB much and doesn’t own a plane xdd
So im wrong and it has RWR, CMs, Guns, Missiles, is supersonic and is 100% immune to radar and IR locks?
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.
So at 10.0 you never ever face SAMs that can counter you but at 10.3 every SPAA you face can?
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.

still wild to me just how bad this update is looking to be
I’m sure everything that’ll make it worth it is just hiding until the update goes live.
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

Still not as bad as Hornets Sting

Must have been some horrible enemies, because fhe F-117s are usually the most free kills out there in ground RB.
id argue this is worse simply for the fact gaijin in their infinite wisdom decided to only roll out spaa for half of the nations in the game
But in Hornets sting, they rolled out AA for nobody, whilst adding Su30 lol.
Depends on how Gaijin implements the new spaa.
Implements the new spaa as they currently are (doa) = update is worse than hornet sting.
Implements the new spaa with buffs so that they are around equal to the Pantsir = update is significantly better than hornet sting.
At that point it will only be worse for nation mains, but then again I have never really cared about voluntary nation mains anyway.

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

It’s not focused on the new spaa though. It’s quite clear that the new big ships are the primary focus while the new spaa, F-2 and Swiss sub tree are all shared secondary focus.
It’s not like this isn’t the first time that they have added stuff without counterparts for all nations. Firebirds added the F-15E without counterparts to only 2 nations while storm warning added the EFT/Rafale to only 4 nations without counterparts. There are probably way more examples that I’m not going to write up.
Yet you probably wouldn’t have minded if Britain and Italy were among those nations and lets say Israel or the US were not, even though these are in the same position.
Which wouldn’t make you a voluntary nation main, voluntary nation mains are people who stick to one nation only for all kinds of reasons even though they could perfectly grind other trees.
Like there is nothing wrong with being a voluntary nation main, but they kind of give up their right to complain.
