If they add SEAD/DEAD I genuinely hope it’ll stay in Air modes only, at least for a while.
GRB was dominated by CAS for years before we finally got these new SPAA. I think I’d quit top tier forever if they once again slung the favour back towards CAS so soon after. Especially since it isn’t even that lopsided in favour of SPAA anyway what with the KH-38MT and LMUR still being things.
Well balance is far from here…
Russia receiving another very OP SPAA while also receiving the BMPT, having the strongest battleship and coastal vessel, and having one of the best if not, the best, CAS in the game - the balance will be most likely: “x for Russia was underperforming, hence we gave it x”, which is most likely way better then every other nation counterpart.
I’ve heared people complaining so much regarding the unhealthy situation in anything around 10.3+ regarding Russia, about it being so encredibly good, that they just stop playing 10.3+ all together.
Even some youtubers nowadays are starting to complain.
I usually dont play 9.3 and above, but holy cow, its bad. Around 70-80% loss rate when fighting against Russia. Just BMPT’s and Arena’s stomping the entire match.
So the entire “balance” factor is not going to happen really. When SEAD or the other thing is going to be added, one nation will always be better then the rest - Russia. Mark my words. And then the entire hype ends up in more discussion posts about how OP Russia is, and one moderator who keeps closing all the discussions regarding it.
I am also expecting them to skip over early ARMs in general in favor of skipping straight to stuff like AGM-88 and KH-31 and completely ignoring the existence of stuff like AGM-45/78 and KH-28/25MP/27
But it does present an interesting balancing question though. Early ARMs would naturally appear on lower BR aircraft, which would add FnF where FnF might not already exist but at the same time, lower BR SPAAs would potentially be less affected by ARM…
So do you limit it to higher BRs only or do you allow weaker ARMs at lower BRs…
and what about existing aircraft at the FnF sort of range like:
Will the Tornado GR1 go up in BR because it gets ALARM?
yeah… the A-4E with AGM-45s at 9.3 could be just a little busted depending on how they model the seekers. idk its one of those things we will just have to wait and see but i think gaijin might just intentionally skip certain aircraft/missiles for balance purposes, either way i am not expecting them to come into the game in a remotely reasonable state.
arm is unnecessary adding useless feautures right now every country other russia need SPAA there just wasting resources creating new problems instead of fixing old ones infantry shouldnt happen till they fix naval air and ground
Here we go again… I’ll just copy-paste my response every time this is said:
They stated that the infantry developer team is completely new and separate from the rest of the game, so it’s not mutually exclusive.
They earn millions and millions every year, most of the money goes straight int their pockets… do you think they don’t put more money and manpower into the game because of infantry, and that it would make any difference…?
There are bug reports that have been ignored for 5 years now, some even more, long before they could have started working on infantry.
Believe me, infantry or a lack of budget isn’t the reason why they aren’t doing better with the main game…
What I love about my birthday being today is that I always get to enjoy war thunder’s April fools events the day after, can’t wait to see what gaijin cooked up this year! What do yall think gaijin’s gonna do this year, haven’t seen too many guesses
For april’s fools they’re gonna fix every bug and issue of the game, balance everything and decompress, and then they’ll revert everything the next day
