Most people are casual players that want larger matches because it’s less individual pressure.
Expecting everyone or even a majority of players to agree to higher-pressure more competitive matches is not realistic.
This is the same reason Battlefield gets success, people love lower pressure casual matches where they’re closer to being a cog of the team.
Which we already have on most maps and only if the Typhoon had exceptional climb rate.
2030 we get “the biggest map yet!” and it’ll be 140km x 140km

With up to 6 i think! Though it could just be four not sure what’s going on with the pylons there…

GRB is a better experience and more fun for jet gameplay than ARB.
ARB is a repetitive mess
so the EF will only be viable if you get an airspawn?
is that what you are saying
up to 4 on crusader, unless it goat dual racks or triple racks im not sure about
other planes got 3 per mount

Oh snap, even better. Would love to see it!
thats a phantom and not the F-8
especially the side pylons have weight restrictions on the F-8
Currently there are zero missiles that can utilize that range against fighters.
It’s why I don’t expect Meteor missiles for non-stealth BRs and especially before a 7th game engine release.
Stop twisting my words.
Your are argument is that Meteor will be bad because you can only fire it at high speeds. Which I dont think is actually factually correct at all.
Currently, I can spawn in the Typhoon and be in range to fire a C5 within the first 1-2 minutes of a match. (3 if its an AF spawn) Meteor has double the LSZ range and max range. You could probably fire the moment you spawned in with airspawn in the Typhoon and actually be a reasonable threat to something.
If you hard climbed and accelerated like you can already do… you would be able to fire within 30 seconds whilst also imparting the energy of a mach 1.3+ launch and 30k ft.
Maps would realistically need to be 200x200km minimum for these weapons to be half interesting to use.

yeah not sure if the f8 would get the double/triple racks. The f8 did get double racks for sideiwnders but those are lighter than the 95. I don’t see why it can’t get double racks on the wing pylons though
becasue on the F-8 they would probaly be blocked by the one on the side pylon
look at that weird adapter they had to put there on the F-8 just so that they can mount 4 instead of 2

One of my biggest gripes with arb particularly at higher tiers is mixed matches. i very much do not enjoy fighting an F-15 in an F-15 or a MiG-21 in a MiG-21. its incredibly boring.

it is factually correct due to how a ram jet works, a ram jet relies on the compression of supersonic air
that is a fact and a limitation of how the meteor works
a ram jet uses the speed of the air so that it dosent need a mechanical compressor
For me its the exact same structure every single game that makes me not play ARB
Atleast GRB is completely Dynamic with A2A BVR WVR, dogfights, SEAD and dodging SAM’s, A2G, semi frequent landing and re-armiming

Except it has a booster.

I do not jest. I DO want to see the F-9, F-8, F-4, and F-14 carrying AIM-95. Plus the Seekbat on the F-106 and F-15.
except i have a source that says Mach 0.9
“Min launch Mach Launch at Mach 0.9 at an altitude of 3000m”
4 should be enough
