Yeah, people seem to either underestimate the impact that certain CBUs would have or straight up ignore that, because they expect everyone to always have a decent gaming rig
Well, don’t get your hopes up for ARMs, as Gaijin doesn’t consider them as required or even as a priority for the games development.
I don’t know why people are clamoring for ARMs anyways, CAS already is dominant at all ranks in GRB and as a weapon to have in just air battles or a SEAD mode they wouldn’t offer any more depth than most air to ground missiles we already have.
I get it. I want CBU’s as much as the next guy. But I’m not into the idea we should add them so the UK can get some approximate to napalm just to get there. The devs have been really good lately, imo, in developing Air combat, and I think they need the time to consider the impacts on the game and the players of adding CBU’s.
Not sh*tting on Morv, but not everyone is playing Air Sim and wants a better napalm.
I dont want a better Napalm. I just think CBUs could be a napalm equivalent.
its frustrating seeing Mig-23MLs and F-4S running 2 Napalm bombs for a base kill and I have haul 5-6 1000lb bombs to do the same on equivalent airframes.
Heck, Napalm is still missing from the Buc S2 and Sea Vixen which was reported 3 years ago.
Tuned right, CBUs could give us a Napalm-ish equivalent for aircraft that didnt* equip Napalm.
I just dont think that CBUs would be anymore effective than a 2000lb bomb, especially given the min release alt (and possibly speed) of CBUs would result in aircraft using them being extremely vulnerable to SPAA, way more so than a 2000lb bomb which you can drop at 50ft with a long delay.
I mean the servers barely handle anything larger than the number 20.
Maybe though some of the money from the premium F/A-18 sales can go towards funding some better servers instead of relying on a 2016 Chromebook with a ruined battery and no space bar which this game’s servers seem to be running on.
Not to be that guy, but the fix would be to add the fire bombs to the planes that are missing them. Other nations have this issue too, despite having planes that could carry them.
Or we could just ask Gaijin to tone the base damage of napalm back down again, because having napalm be as effective as it currently is incentivises people to do stupid stuff like using the F-5C as a bomber while also inflating Gaijins all important SL/RP earnings statistics, which in turn will lead to further reward reductions for ALL bombers, not just the fighters that basically steal the actual bombers’ targets.
Judging by how some of their latest new/different air to ground weapons were implemented I’d really prefer if they just didn’t add any more new things that could be exciting.
No need to repeat the TV Martel and Brimstone fiascos
