I bought 2 more packs during this sale. One of them is F104 for Italy.
Never. Never before over the years have I encountered such an inappropriate technique (which also has no alternatives - compare the choice in the American or, say, British branch).
The aircraft is a representative of the early generation of jets (essentially 1-2). Has radar without Doppler. He sees nothing against the background of the earth, while he sees from his opponents. Prem was given radar missiles, but both thermal and radar missiles do not have any noise immunity. While the enemy has it. despite the fact that we are talking about F104 in general.
Gaijin was able to piss me off with a nerf to the Vatyur for France, but the Vatyur was also MORE EFFECTIVE. The plane cannot even cope with phantoms, whose radar lock is not confused by dipoles (the F104 cannot maneuver). That is, the aircraft simply does not have a food niche at 11.0.
In short, Gadzin did not hesitate to sell an aircraft that is 2 steps higher than its natural combat rating as a package premium.
Streamers’ ratings: don’t buy. Rating in the Gaidin store - 3 points out of 5.
No more donations. Just on principle.
I’ve been in the game since 2014. During this time, I bought about 30 packages for real money and paid for a premium account. Among these packages there were various types of equipment. Some are really strong and later nerfed. Some unique, but complex. Some are average and nerfed further into the trash. But this is not the case.
