Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Player feedback BR change this week ? 🤔

I suppose at least 10 fighter aircraft decompress max BR to 14.3

4 fighter aircraft rank 8 up to 14.0 if received new gen WVR Air-to-Air Missile (except F-16C/D Block 40 Barak II and JAS 39 Gripen C from SAAF lose medium-range Air-to-Air Missile only)

Kfir C.10 (Block 60 standard) no Python 4 and I-Derby ER

But I don’t mind gajin increase max BR higher 13.0

they dont have a sustainer and high drag

Mostly because of the autopilot. Lofts too high

I can dodge a phoenix by flying straight and pitching up some, you cannot do that to a derby. If you consider a missile that weighs hundreds of KG more than the derby and pulls 17Gs (almost never because it doesn’t have enough fin AOA, realistically averages about 6Gs) to be better you are arguing in bad faith.

Gaijin are slow to decompress but they have done it, and even if they are slow at it it doesn’t take away from the fact that that is the issue.

And you keep bringing up the AIM-54, but the Derby is better, I have spent plenty of time playing both the F-16D and SAAF Gripen, the missile while worse than its equivalents is fine

if range was the only metric, then yes, the AIM-54 would be better, but the Derby is better within 15km, play to the vehicle’s strengths, not every vehicle is going to be meta, that doesn’t mean they’re bad

whenim beyond 15km i can just turn and it wont hit me lol

ig the Fin AOA buff it got happend in my dreams smh

if a plane is not meta, its not a good plane thats exactly what meta means

So get within 15km, it’s called playing to a vehicle’s strengths.

You either don’t know what you’re talking about or are again arguing in bad faith.

96 matches and barely 1:1 is plenty?

whopping 56 matches with 43 kills :D

Yeah, I wanted to bring that up too, but it’s been too long since I used my SAAF Gripen. The R-Darter/Derby definitely are fine if you use them more like SARHs and less like LARP SPAMRAAMs

meanwhile AASM hammer hitting helis at 12 km

If I gave the derby an extra 1 newton on thrust it would be a buff but wouldn’t increase the range by any useful amount

Meta means optimal, the best available, i.e. what you do if winning is your only concern

Believe it or not some of us play games for fun

how many matches do I need to consider it plenty, I was also destroying ground targets in quite a few of those games as I find the GBU-39s fun, still in games where I went A2A I had a perfectly good time in both, though the F-16FM leaves some to be desired

well have to wait for derby ER to be added to the game

so you say aim54 doesnt have the finaoa to hit the 17Gs, i show you it got a fin AOA buff after u saying it didnt.

interesting way to argue :D

That would be good, apparently range is similar to 120C-5 so maybe when that comes

So you wait gajin add Python 4 and I-Derby ER on Kfir C.10 (Block 60) someday

Yeah, I might believe I-Derby ER crack BVR tactic for Kfir C.10 (Block 60) in the future

Just because it was buffed does not make it able to consistently hit and maintain such G pull. Not hard to understand but whatever.

but it does? also almost no missiles hits the G stated in the statcard, but that doesnt mean they dont pull enough to hit targets
