Topic name is self explainatory. I keep raising my eyebrows when I get ranged by some radar wielding autocannoned time fuzed shell spammer, while flying my trusty Mig-17, from 1950 versus SPAAGS from the late 80s.
How in the floral is this even allowed?
use helicopters. Mig-17 in that lineup is purely as fighter
no
this lineup was for early cold war tech, but it got diluted with late cold war tech over the years
now it’s a complete floralshow
do not even get me started on the copters from the 90’
gaijin mismatches spaa really badly, at this BR as you describe lots of aircraft get massacred as they are facing advanced spaa much more modern than what they can deal with; but later on this will swap and modern CAS will face 1970s or so era AA
There is no point in using planes in these simulator battles. It is suicide. If only there were at least SU-7Bs, which are useless in higher battles.
Overall, the distribution of vehicles in ground simulator battles needs to be revised. In other battles, SU-6s from 1941 regularly fight with PzH 2000s. Currently, it is more of a time travel mod. But honestly, I don’t know who enjoys fighting with technology that is 50 years apart.
russia doesn’t have any good air cover past 6.0 untill you get to 10.0.
The 37mm cannons slap hard and you can even pen medium tanks from the roof.
yes, but the last 17 times I tried that I was slapped by a radar SPAAG instead
agreed
I let my premium run out and don’t buy any until they fix this issue. I will not pay for something that I can not even use in a game mode that I want to play.
kill the vehicles that pose a threat first. then get to strafing medium tanks.
can’t argue with that
but the M247 can take me out from 3 km while I can only penetrate it from 500 m
Germany has to play me262 against chieftan msrksman etc. :(
Yeah it’s stupid. Gepard and its clones, and the PZG09 should be 9.0.
My 1970s Phantom E plays against a 2012 Pantsir.
Or 1980s ADATS plays against 2013-2015 aircraft.
How don’t they?
I am extremely sympathetic to people who want AA to be strong and not let planes get free kills, but AA at certain BR ranges is totally mismatched with the planes. M247 and PGZ09 being the absolute worst offenders. Shout out to the low BR missiles slingers, also getting the chance to face Korean war veterans.
F-84F (1954, originally from 1944) used to be at the same BR as pgz09 (2009) until very recently.
A fighter that cannot CAP over the battlefield;
And his opponent, AlphaJet, an attacker that cannot CAS over the battlefield?
Only one of those SPAAs named actually gets proxy fuse shells, the other 2 both have to impact you
Mouse aim vs stick control moment, even in RB the flight characteristics and the relative firepower will make it 90% failure,
