Yes, they do as many new players around the world initially gravitate to the US tech tree first. GJ knows this.
Their sales analyst know this. Many veteran players started with the US tech tree first and branched out. (myself included, once an old Ameriboo)
That is what GJ wants. They do not want us sitting in a single tech tree forever. I do not think it’s fair to repeatedly rail on US mains as if they suffer from a special kind of skill issue as @MiG_23M and his followers like to repeatedly claim.
Simply, everyone who is new to the game, usually driven by western pop culture and not too privy to military technologies naturally go to the US first.
But I have faith after the holidays GJ will come correct.
Let the new players have their day in the sun. Wear the Su27 as badge of honor and continue to smash in it.
Thats what I have done in the SMT. Because Ive learned that if you refuse to play it until fixed you will be so disgusted with it that by the time they do buff it as it historically should, you will be too jaded and never touch the thing again.
I made that mistake with the Mig23M. I say keep playing it “till the wheels fall off” and smash overpowered aircraft. Its a challenge to veteran players.
Yeah I am really shocked they are going this route without reports on the Su27.
Even from a sales perspective the Flanker is a beloved aircraft of the West. I could have sworn the Flanker would be just as coveted and sought after aircraft. ESPECIALLY with its unique supermaneuvrability.
Then again I cannot see the analytics of what GJ sees.
Farm bases with Napalm, takes 4 for 1 base. Can carry 9 so can take 2 bases. That’s how I did it to spade it. Base kills then extra air kills with head on or missiles.
Yea, i started right after the patch so not many were doing it till 2 hrs later. Right now their a huge amount of players doing it. Will be like that for a long while till player get new jet. I got teamkilled cuz i stole bases, but worth lol
I have to wonder since the devs said that fox 3 update will be the first or second update of 2024 what will Japan get?
Seems likely that it will be MSIP F-15J so we are looking at APG-63 V1 and some other upgrades
So the current F-15J will be outdated quickly.
I doubt it will be XF-2A or early F-2 since they lack the transmitter to use AAM-4 and only received it until late F-2s. (Though Gaijin can of course still add it if they wish too) F-15J MSIP can also use AMRAAMS.
