Sim is ways worse imo because people love to play Denmark, Maginot Line, Tunisia which is basically flat.

Until you meet those 40m high trees.

No, multipath is fine, if you want to play a MPless game go play dcs or nuclear option.
The removal of MP would only lead to pussy f14 syndrome aka spam missiles then rtb.
Unironicaly removal of MP would kill jet tiers because the match would be won by whoever has the longest range missile, this would make some planes useless bc their missiles dont have the range. Move them down and then they slam people, then repeat.
Leave MP as it is

Those planes can just learn to dodge those long range missiles, since it isn’t that hard unless you get close. More balance and decompression would have to be done, which is why I talked about it in my first post.
Ridiculous. Trees are already 50-100meters tall in this game.
It should be back to 100m, not 60m.
This is because the spotting system in SB is so unbelievably bad that any map with clutter makes enemies invisible. Even bases become much harder to see. People also play Winter Stalingrad as black on white is easier, sort of like desert… black on yellow.

Some people dont want high MP bc their free kills would be harder :(

That sounds like a major skill issue if you need 100m MP to defend against SARH/ARH threats.
Given the fact that IRL missile like Skyflash had a minimum altitude of 33m (and thats not even due to MP, but prox fuse issues) . 60m is stupid for a game that is meant to be realistic

haha, and some people jsut want to be able to fly in a straight line and ignore 50% of weapon fired at them with 0 skill needed.

The irl missile also had a hit ratio of like 12% so they should add random failures too

I dont see how random weapon fails which is something they do not model has anything to do with multipathing having a 60m height, a tool they use to give bad players a crutch.

Nah, I agree with you most of the time, but like, nah. I want my low altitude interdiction aircraft to stay immune, not to mention my 60° AOA UFO of a plane to remain untouchable until I decide to engage (here comes the entire enemy team blasting 47 AIM-9M/L’s up my exhaust when I do)

Holy Jesus just say you want to spam spey phantoms in downtier with PD against people with nothing.
Some people want multipathing removed because it promotes low skill gameplay, where you can be immune when you fly below an arbitrary height limit.
Also please read the whole first post, removing MP right now would be a disaster.

Haha. The cope is real. I love how Im the one “abusing” the game for wanting my missile to hit when the target is doing nothing to defend. But having a magical shield allowing you to fly in a straight line and not even react to incoming missile threats is perfectly acceptable

I mean, one can always stick to gunfighter jets and jets with dogfight missiles and ignore the weird toptier crazy land.
There’s this whole BR bracket with awesome iconic fighter planes (F9F panther, blue angels, hello?) that are literally designed around getting onto someone’s six and filling them with cannon shells and fifty cals and somehow it’s the most dead BR range in ASB despite having some of the coolest jet designs, yet people flying modern jets complain about modern jet combat.
I have missile bus jets, but I’d sooner hop into my saber and demon (I’d love to also hop into my banshee and panther if I could afford to) over my kfir. F8x are the borderline choice.

Be still my beating heart. A gun only mode would be a dreamland for me.
I’ve never understood why people complain so much about SARH and ARH combat whilst continueing to play those BRs. Its rather funny.

Like the plane. Hate the gameplay. Work hard to get your favorite plane then you learn the BR bracket is shit, so you play it so your hard work doesn’t get wasted.
For me this would be, JAS-39C, F-18, F-14, F-15, F-16, AV-8B+, F-111A-C-F, and the SU-24.

Hmm I wonder why people go low to defend in my funny airplane game where it’s 16v16 and there are 250 missiles that all it takes is a single button press to fly across the map with 50g superb flight performance.

Perhaps, but to me, Id want to use the aircraft the way it was intended to be played. If I wanted to dogfight in a Sea Harrier, Id play the FRS1 not the FA2. So when I play the FA2 I want to engage in BVR combat.
