Harrier stealth confirmed
Issue with CAS is that these two things, KH38 and Pantsir are in the same nation with no counter parts, if even one other capable CAS or anti air is added, that will be fine ( preferably anti air, I am done with getting killed by CAS) there will be balance again.
Gonna have to finish grinding the Su-34 then, because 10-15 seconds to identify and launch sounds like absolutely ideal conditions, it’s rare to have the time and ability to find every target you want to launch at, launch all missiles, and have a 100% hit rate.
I don’t know what CAP costs for the BR, I’d have to try to drag a fighter in, but are you really at 750sp with A2A weaponry only?
Also, this is why light vehicles are important.
Seeing as there is no skill based matchmaking in this game, I doubt you’d consistently face better opponents.
I don’t know. All it takes is a bit of patience (something I usually don’t have funnily enough) and I haven’t had much trouble fighting anything anywhere with it.
Hell only 1 death in the 5 games was from a plane, which launched 8 GBU-39s from 3km which meant I couldn’t dodge them. Was still the easiest trade of my life though.
Yeah 650-750 is pretty standard for an CAP loaded plane.
If you think you’re only facing Mavericks, then sure. Hellfires from helicopters, smaller guided bombs, unexpected angles… not everything is as easy as dealing with Mavericks.
The fact that they can hit your from your own airfield is wild. The game doesnt need it. Id be fine with them nerfing it to the level of the ADATs if removing it seems so wild to some. You know Gaijin will never buff NATO or western SPAAs.
I am genuinely not being hyperbole when I say Su-34 cannot be countered by anything other than Pantsir. Everytime these things spawn, you just see 4-6 ‘Blufor’ tanks die in the kill feed. It’s ridiculous.
My F-15I, with pure A2A load, costs 750sp. (900+ with different ammo belts).
And my only ‘’‘’‘Light’‘’‘’ is a trillion ton Namer - which loses all of its ammo, and catastrophically detonates everytime a singular round hits its turret lmao.
Hellfires are even easier to deal with than mavericks though lol.
Only weaponry that is somewhat more challenging to fight are Kh38 and Spikes for me. Of which you usually only face the latter in the Pantsir.
Slightly better is a massive understatement
OO, we are in the Pantsir arc of R&R now.

Depending on what Gaijin does with it of course.

Not unless you have the amazing ammo box that was just added in the previous update ;)

Tbf the Euro Canards really dont differ all that much in fligjt performance
Yes they do especially when compared to the Gripen
I have plenty of patience, I will even change guidance modes or even go IR only when I can just to make sure I have the best chance of a kill. I’m telling you, a good fighter pilot is an even handed match, and even a few good chopper pilots have given me a run for my money.
I’ve had my share of 6-10 air kill games against smooth brain pilots. I’d say my average game is about 3 plane kills, 0.5 helicopter kills (they aren’t common as we all know), and maybe two pieces of ordnance intercepted. Pretty pedestrian.
That’s 4 missiles with the ammo box. Ammo boxes only give 1x ammunition load.

well that’s a massive RIP
That is the fun part of being a ground player this year. We’re just mostly depressed each update.

Not really though, based on all the information from the South African Gripen tests and mock dogfights between Euro canards they arent much different
