I get the concept - it’s the same thing as SAMs intercepting incoming ATGMs, or helicopters previously being able to spray unguided rockets in the direction of an incoming SAM to prematurely trigger its fuse. Just as ridiculous and unbalanceable as both of those two examples.
Same story with the corresponding mechanics I have seen.
For all three situations, the only obvious solution is to simply delete the ability to intercept ordinance.
Then learn how to notch tf. It is objectively unfair. An F-16 with 6 AMRAAMs has no chance against an SU-30SM2 and I am saying that as the SM2 pilot. Ever since this has been popularized I can just fly head on towards an F-16, shoot down his 6 missiles while I have 4+ left and easily kill him as I just have to stay out of range, since he has nothing left. It also works perfectly well against the Rafale and Eurofighter, though both of them still have the bonkers flight model to rely on, doesn’t change the fact that it is hella braindead.
When are they gonna fix this crap. Game is very unenjoyable when there are losers who just shoot at missiles all day
I mean you can’t blame someone for using this tactic, you literally are just punished for not doing so, you inevitably end up in a worse position due to having to be defensive, also its highly beneficial to the su30sm2 so I doubt it’s going anywhere
Genuinely ive been taking dumb rocket pods just to deal with missile interception. Oh? You wanna counter projectiles? Here have a dozen extra targets.
Its also very funny against tomcat spam, since they lack NCTR, you can just use rockets to make them waste a significant amount of missiles on nothing.
APKWS on the Typhoon is looking more and more appealing :D
70mm rockets dont show up on radars consistently sadly. Ive mostly been using zunis. Like on the swiss F/A-18, since it runs into a ton of tomcats and it can carry 8 single shot zunis.
Ah damn. I guess its a use for Brimstones then .
I mean that might work, but the velocity will be wayyyy off so you won’t fool everyone
yeah man sure whatever you say :D
Lord have mercy. This and drone scouting are ruining the high tiers matches of this game
against AESA and PESA radars it may work
People are doing it at 12.0, its joever, F1C spammers shooting down sparrows with magic 2’s, JH7’s with their magic 2 copies…
This game is genuinely singular in how insanely stubborn the players are at refusing to learn how to play it and trying their hardest to find shortcuts. I have a growing and intense contempt for anyone who plays this game because of behavior like this.
McM is a crutch for people incapable or unwilling to notch.
Cant wait for it to be nerfed drastically.
will never happen just like multipath because trash player that buy its way to top gets another way to survive more than 3min
Remember before they added air spawn? There would always be one or two bozos crashing immediately by doing a cobra or failing to take off before their gear blew.
i may get banned from this and i just dont care, but play ace combat instead. AC8 is just about to hit the corner and if you preorder it you will get acess to ace combat zero first time on PC.
Thats what i will do. F-14D in WT was a complete disapointmen, instead of buying it, i will buy a whole new game thats way better.
such a fun mechanic, being forced to dump your whole missile loadout for one guy. Just to rtb and going it all over again in the next 5 minutes
In my opinion, interception of an air to air missiles should be changed in a way that it is not always guaranteed to kill. Success chance of the interception should be tied to speed of the target projectile and kills must be scored via direct impact only.
So you will in average need two or three missiles for a single successful projectile interception, thus eliminating the pure MCM based combat yet in dire situations can be used it as a poor man’s self defense.
Nah, well deserved, notching doesn’t do nothing half the time. Not to mention these seekers are so strong in short range tracking another one is possible IRL.
