Well, yeah, it’s not a serious bug. It only affected almost all the top-tier aircraft in the game and most laser bombs.

Im surprised it wasnt top priority given that soviet bombs were also affected

Now all that’s left is to wait for an answer about the smokeless rockets on the Chaparral(MIM-72E/G) and my soul will be at peace.

Nah, clearly a marketing lie

Never underestimate the ability of Gaijin to completely mess something up and then just ignore the reports/complaints for months/years.

well yes and no, the soviets never have to rely on LGB they either have amazing unguided rockets or FnF ATGMs and bombs

They got rid of the smokeless motors because CAS players were complaining that it was too hard to avoid them

Yeah, thats true

Oh yes, definitely a marketing lie (presumably on video MIM-72G)

Oh yeah, one flare and the missile is gone, pretty tough

Yep, definetly AI :P

You’ve got to keep in mind that the average CAS player doesn’t pay attention to SPAAs/SAMs, so they wouldn’t know that the MIM-72 is approaching if it doesn’t have smoke lol

What Id give to have the massive tracers removed from the Starstreaks

Brightest tracers known to man on a SAM that is supposed to be almost invisible

It’s not like the Starstreak isn’t hard enough to use without it acting like a signal flare

Yep, its rather stupid, I half get why they think it needs it, given its ACLOS IRL but SACLOS in-game. But why do they need to be so massive. You could easily halve the tracers if not more and theyd be perfectly usable still. Or just make the tracers only visible from the rear

I almost feel like the tracer intensity is a game engine limitation. Like, either they have tracers like that or no tracers at all lol
