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

Just basing it of my personal winrate and most other people in the lobby have around the same when i click on their profiles. The BMPT has a 90% winrate even for new players.

Haven’t personally played around that br yet, but i do have friends who are less experienced in air rb calling it a non issue 99 percent of the time so it doesn’t appear to be that bad (they mainly play the F-5E FCU and F-104J)

Well it is an issue in a draken. I dont have a RWR ffs. No idea if a radar missile is coming. Before the update i could climb without anyone challenging me because no one has radar missiles at that BR. But here comes yet another OP russian vehicle.

I treat the Mig-25 the same way I treat any other plane with good radar missiles around that BR. I play low and try to pull it down, where it swiftly gets a missile to the rear.

Then again I do that against in my Jaguar, since it has no business at higher altitudes.

The MiG-25 isn’t OP at all

But I do understand your problems with meeting it in a plane without RWR. The Mirage IIIC and Nesher have that problem as well, but there are 10.3s without RWRs as well, so when playing those you’ll just have to fly low or keep an eye out for smoke trails.

I used to be able to climb and dive on people. havent faced a single other plane than the mig-25 with radar missiles at 10.3

Nice, i have to make it harder for myself and impossible to get kills. The draken cant stay low, it has no energy after one turn. Officially a useless plane. Will never get the gripen e

First, the Draken absolutely can stay low.
Second, there are other planes to use while grinding the Gripen.

“Officially a useless plane” As it has 6 9Js at 10.3 😭

The Draken D has 4, not 6 and it’s 10.0, not 10.3

Well I’m taking into account the fact that they started this off by mentioning that they were grinding in the J35XS

I thought we were talking about the J35D the whole time

The J35XS should have absolutely no problem with grinding despite all the MiG-25s flying around

Regarding the BMPT, as mentioned just the other day when you asked, it is being monitored closely and we are looking into options. Stay tuned for that.

For the MiG-25, its currently not showing any massive indicators. But as with any new vehicle, it too will be closely followed.

I’m afraid closely monitored isnt enough. It is clearly overpowered having better surviveability than a T90M at 10.7 along with infinite penning missiles with an ammobox while spamming APDS from 2 belts. Move it to 11.7 or 12.7 and give it APFSDS. It has to be done swiftly, it’s ruining the game.

You have 8x

If I can do it in a Jaguar at 11.3 a Draken should also be able to do it.

You can have 20 of them, they’re still weirdly trash compared to the air launched ones.

Sure, but it will be a much slower grind than before. Rear aspect missiles and no energy. Climbing was a better option but sadly no longer possible.

Dude, they have 800mm of pen. Sure they are worse than the bmp-2m’s missiles, but still far better than spikes and any western tow missiles that are artificially nerfed,
