Missile counter Missile method is a terrible mechanic for the game

People who can’t even trade for a 1kd shouldn’t act like they know the game. It’s really not that hard to admit you’re bad. Or that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

you want me to admit I’m bad I will never because that would be a lie but I will admit I’m not the most insane player and I’m still fully locked in still getting better

10 days isnt recent for me because that’s when I got the jet you can go ahead and gaze my stats some more I’m don’t with this never ending circle fight

So you’re using 1 broken jet good somehow makes you a good player? (It’s still below MKK’s average for June)

Again, you’re not very impressive. You’re just huffing your chest and shouting common takes expecting people to take you for more than you really are. It’s almost fascinating you have no sense of self awareness.

It’s crazy how even when this is pointed out in other threads you seem to just plug your ears and shut your eyes at reality. The reality is that you’re a bad player. You shout takes, but can’t even apply them to break even in 99% of your vehicles. How am I supposed to take that seriously? If 1kd is too much to ask for, god forbid those actual perma-stacking 20kd monsters that actually dwell the top of statshark.

That’s still 4 missiles more than the F-16, and you don’t have to sacrifice radar missiles for IR ones like on the F-16. Not to mention the fact that the F-16 ADF at the same BR as you has:

  • No hmd
  • Half the countermeasures (and most of it is regular caliber, compared to 100% large caliber on the flanker)
  • No HOBS missiles
  • Slower speed
  • No IRCCM on the IR missiles

Be careful what you ask for; missiles like MICA, IRIS-T, and R-77 advertise being able to be used against air to air missiles in their marketing literature.

There’s a certain monkey’s paw wish where MCM gets removed for missiles that haven’t advertised it and leaves it intact for those that have or can be argued to have.

It would be the funniest of all possible outcomes.

The most awful take of the day award goes to this. Unless you are spading a stock vehicle it is never worth it to carry ground ordinance. they will hinder your game performance and ability to secure kills especially in early game you’ll be out of position, slower and less maneuverable because of the extra ordinance you are carrying.

and even in the instances where the weight/drag isnt that notable, like running 8x Spice-250 on the EFT. Actually using them requires slamming on the airbrakes, which is a bigger nerf than just running the higher drag PW4s.

Its a shame that the PvE side of WT is so neglected, would be fun to have even a minimal reason to run even a minor multi-role payload more.

This just gave me flashbacks of playing EF in Escalation where i found out the hard way that i had to slam airbrakes and throttle down constantly to use any ground ordinance. Such a disgrace to aircraft with such flight performance…

Hoping for Top tier NE to return so i can go back to use some of the ground ordinance without being limited into tiny ground maps.

Yep. Why do you think I want proper brimstones, EFT imo, might actually be one of the weakest CAS aircraft at top tier currently, and thats entirely artificial nerfs

Yeah, but needs to be a decently sized version, the map is too small. and they need to do something about the RWR. Had to stop playing because of the headache I got

Yeah especially for the top bracket. The current map works pretty well for the new 1970’s bracket. The 1980’s bracket is already pushing it a bit with the longer range SAMs but it’s still good. The top bracket however, with frontline S300s, you cannot do any ground pounding staying above ~500 meters for too long or else you will get slapped out of the sky by an S300. Also I really think the targets (including sam sites) should be spread out a bit more and have random placement.

Yes very much so. Right now the RWR is more of annoyance rather than actually helping with situational awareness. Although the new Vietnam bracket was a nice breath of fresh air. If you were getting a lock/launch warning, it most likely was actually on you and not your teammate across the map

BTW if this is going to devolve into us talking about NE, we should probably just move to the NE thread lol

Yeah. Let alone doing anything without haivng an aircraft attacking you, and yeah, true, though somewhat relevant withwise to just shooting down SAMs instead of actually defending. Not sure how many people actually did that though

no.

for this reason I don’t care too much about the speed penalty :without bombs mach 1.40 maybe before range of enemy’s (30KM) vs mach 1.30 to range of enemy’s makes me less of a target at the BVR and since i rarely dogfight i like to get my enemys BEFORE they can blow me up with a jumpscare aim9M im not saing bringing 2 etra tons of bombs is for everyone but i works for me

but also signficantly nerfs the effectiveness of your own missiles.

and im not even going to ask what altitude you are operating at.

I never go higher than 9.3k meters since I think that’s where the contrails start spawning
