In the case of premiums, its precisely why risk taking is especially not a good idea when the information is not clear at all.
There is currently no information to be clear on which “Western Weaponry” is applicable or specifically what “NATO Compatable” Weaponry apllies to Sniper.
As mentioned previously, reports with information that can provide direct clarity are more than welcome. But things that may define a certain BR or position wont be added that run a risk of having to be taken away for a premium without clear information.
Much like the Italian M60 that had to loose its stabiliser post release, we are very keen to avoid such situations ever again with premiums.
I know its not your fault and youre just here to keep us updated, but were getting a mig29 that is being refused western weapons becuase its not sure about those weapons *which is fine…
And also being refused its upgraded weapons which the airframe was built around using.
Just kind of annoying for people who have the trees dones but aint paying €80 for essentially an identical plane in the game for the 4th time
isn’t it kinda crazy that the su-33 at 13.0 gets r-73s and 8 r-27ers with a total of 12 missiles. while at 12.7 the mig-29 gets 2 r-27ers and r-60ms with 6 total missiles
So basically you are saying if the Mig-29 Sniper were to be at 13.0 BR like the Mig-29G (with R-73), then it wouldnt sell well because the Premimum Mig-29 Sniper at 13.0 would constantly face 14.0 which includes all the planes with fox 3 missiles. So essentially, to even have the ability to sell the Mig-29 Sniper at a ridiculously 80 USD, you have to make it 12.7 where it cant fave Su-30s, Eurofighters, and Rafales.
I dunno, but at that BR, it is one of the harder missiles to play well with. At much lower BRs, it is already easily defeated as it is one of, if not the most flare hungry missiles in game. Id say the 9L is slightly better.
The point is that at 12.7… the premium hornet has more 7Ps… which are quite good, with the notion, that yeah, its still a sparrow. It can carry 2-6 7Ps though. Than it can carry at least 2 9Ls… there is a loadout in which it can use 6x9Ls and 6x7Ps.
Not sure about other tech trees, all I know that France gets Magic 2s, which have IRCCM at even lower BRs.
Sweden kind of suffers with the Viggens, one of them is at 12.0 without amraams, the other two are at 13.0 with amraams. Goodish FM though.
This thing only gets a different RWR though, to set it apart from the tech tree, which is not nearly enough. It will play the same way the tech tree variant would play, with 2 good, if not the best SARH missiles, and mediocre IS missiles.
Everyone is talking about adding missiles and its A2A ability.
So what’s the most efficient way to gain RPs? It’s base booming. Not only for its low requirement for skills, but also for its stablity.
When I was spading Hungarian MiG-29, I temporarily ate bases to get R27ER modification. And guess what, this’s one of the fastest to eat base, thanks to its powerful energy.
The only way to explain why gaijin insist Sniper to be 12.7, is to make bass booming easier. If 13.0, player are usually matched with 14.0.
You may think it’s silly. But from gaijin’s point of view, after some business evaluation, the most buyer of this plane are who need to grind Italy Air tech tree. I’ve seen lots of people reaching the top tier jets and knowing nothing about how to operate radar.
In short, if basemen are majority, gaijin just cater to them.
Anyway, it’s just my personal inference. As for me I will continue playing Hungarian MiG-29, and I personally don’t recommend to use it for eating base.
Well, now im definetively NOT interested. Its still massive upgrade over TAF but after already getting to enjoy the 60MKs at 12.7 (and that was BEFORE F-15A, Gripen A and such), im not touching the Sniper with 10ft pole.
