Any thoughts on the upcoming event?

I am looking at you MiG-25(preferably PD)

It sure works where it is too, it belongs as much in 1st and 3rd line since it serves in both the navy and air force, I just think putting it in first line would make the 3rd line lighter

The Su-30SM2 is mostly equivalent to the Su-35S in terms of advancement (same radar and engines) so might come around the same time

Su-27SM3 probably foldered with the Su-27SM in line 3

Su-35S definitely in 3rd line, line 2 is for Mikoyan’s light fighters and will receive the Mig-35,

Without moving the Su-30SM we’d get a tree like that:
Yak-141 → Su-30SM2
Mig-29 → Mig-29SMT → Mig-35
Su-27 → [Su-27SM → Su-27SM3] → Su-30SM → Su-35S
Su-25SM3
Su-34 → Su-34M

another promotion?

Idk about ground but I’ve heard the harriers are much worse than they should be

True, they lacked 1t worth of thrust and 5deg/s aoa

Yeah… unfortunately the case, still waiting for our Mk103 engines on the Tornado Gr1

Loads of FM issues, VIFF barely works, IR sig is broken, plus more but those are just off the top of my head

hell yeah, My beloved Scimitar got another skin, woooooh!
Now I just need Gaijin to give me the Scorpion & maybe the Streaker MLRS (or a massive stretch the FV103 with a Jav launcher) and my CVRT dreams would be complete. (kinda, a late Scimitar with Thermal and APFSDS, or and early one with the Dozer would be nice. & CV21 would be a great event vehicle)

Before we get any of that, the missile should get its real life flight performance.
That is, it should have max G throught its full flight and it should be flying in the middle of the crosshair, even in the situations where the plane is flying sideways to the launcher.

  • FM is underperforming significantly
  • IR signature is massively too hot
  • SHar HUD is missing loads still
  • SHar missing EEGS
  • All Harriers have sooty exhaust, they shouldnt
  • loads of missing loadout options/configurations (including more than a few already in game)

on top of that you have the BOL issues and a few others bit like the lack of dechirped 9Ls for the British ones, etc etc

It’s just an idea.

Figured i’d just try and diversify the infantry into more specialized roles/classes so that you don’t have a single “squad” able to single handedly control a capture point. (add more teamwork)
For example: AT Class is good at dealing with (unaware) tanks, but is susceptible to Air, snipers, and heavy infantry assaults.
Assault Class is good at assaulting enemy positions (hence the name (would also probably be a good defense class, balancing required)) with heavier weaponry and armor, but is less mobile and (more) susceptible to tanks and air (and probably snipers (snipers are gonna need some balancing)) Actually would probably be better to just call it Heavy Class.

You get the idea.

Still getting obliterated if any vehicle sees it

POV You’re playing infantry and get spotted by the enemy tank

I’d be less worried about the main gun and more worried about the .50 cal lol

To be honest I’d be more scared of the HE shell about to impact my skull.

But saying that most people wouldn’t bother swapping out the shell. Why bother swapping to HE when APFSDS can achieve a similar result with a direct impact?

You “MIGHT” survive a shot by a .50 cal. (Factors depending). But a 120mm round will vaporise you.

Engine, avionics and armaments from Su-35S but hardpoints same Su-30SM

Su-27SM3 battle rating higher 13.7 (probably 14.3), but between Su-27SM & Su-30SM

Sorry, Su-30SM stay to 3rd line lol

We don’t.

Please do not use all caps. It’s not required to ask a question or make a point.

It’s possible to make a suggestion report exactly as you would a tank shell for additional missile options with sources and evidence.

people also say the engines are inaccurate (smoke, temperature…)

I wouldn’t say waste but the balancing was clearly not a thought in the snails mind with this event. It took them until the last 2 stars to make a somewhat balanced event and even then it eventually just became Garford on Garford violence because sitting behind a hill and peaking with commander is very easy.

Cool concept but very poorly executed, id love to see other versions but id rather have Infantry play a larger role. Maybe hold back against an onslaught of soldiers who can still pen you albeit in very specifc spots. Kinda like the Sturmtiger event.

(Gib flamethrower L3, and flamethrower Finnish T-26 vs Infantry snail)

SAP Rapier when?
