Airfield AA easily intercepts the ALARMs btw, just soaks up entire volleys…
Sorta, but on each of the three days, it roared in during the morning … not in the late afternoon like how the Ajax or Boxer debuted.
~ and all the staff were pretty hush hush about it - even if you asked on sat & sat mornings about it (when after the beans had been spilled after the Fri surprise) - they refused to utter the term Challenger 3 or acknowledge and would only assure that the programme will start at 10:30 but with a slight smirk ;-)

as much as id hate to say it, it would be a rather small difference compared to the base M60, that being the rounded hull and the low profile cupola, but if it got all the bells and whistles (even if they are nonfunctional) i wouldn’t mind, such as dozer blade, IR spotlight, and other random add on stuff that would make it interesting
Is it really too much to ask for to get region locks, i don’t really enjoy lagging around the map when 99% is Asian or Russian players on EU with Internet from the last century. Generally better (and MORE) servers would be welcome but oh well. Can’t afford those with your probably close to billions
same on the NA servers

So much fun to have tons of ghost shells on them too because their ping is worse than all numbers of Pi
high ping, as well as German and Asian (mostly Chinese players)
Would be too much work for them to spend a bit of their money on overall better servers, can’t have them doing something good for everyones experience
yeah, it would suck if when i have NA servers only selected and see other people speaking in European toungs
there is another thing to laugh at, at the very least any sane person can see that the ALARM is probably one of the worst ARMs in game and I now see no reason why the Tornado GR1 cant go to 11.7 with 9
Day 30 something something Singapore subtree for Israel.
Region lock is the stupidest thing I’m sorry. You’re telling me that me as an Asian person can’t play with my American and European friends? I don’t need another World of Tanks situation here.
The one time I’ll give Gaijin ANY credits at all is the fact that this game does not have region lock, and it is on ME as the player that I acknowledge I will have to suffer at 200-300ms of ping just to be able to play with my friends. Chinese bots will find their way to go to other servers and region lock has proven to be highly ineffective, remember the Chinese server/client? That didn’t stop Chinese players from VPN-ing out of there and playing global either.
Gaijin’s priority on playability with high ping means that the tick rate of the game is actually quite low so yes, there are some issues involved around that like hit registration, but when you increase tick rate, you make high ping unplayable and you get issues from WoT where the vehicles/players start floating even more uncontrollably at just 100ms.

If YOU are lagging, it means YOUR internet is the one having problems especially if you’re playing in the EU servers within Europe itself. Asian or Russian or American players playing in the EU server does NOT affect YOUR network or the servers. IF the servers are having issues, then it isn’t only you that’s getting affected. Everyone else will be eating the same trash when it goes down. Don’t spew random crap when you have genuinely zero clue how the internet works.

me as an Australian seeing people like that complain annoys me to know end, while I’m here stuck with 250-300 ping on every server.
In every match across the entire match I watch shots go to the void or losing reaction time battles to it. as well as not being able to radar lock, see an enemy on mechanical scanned radars, or fire I’m not able to fire missile sometimes without re-activating the spool up phase if i press launch to quickly twice.
and our best server is the barely functioning half the time, losing pl almost every second to third game during peak hours on a “dead” server, why SA servers exist is beyond me.
and even then its lowest ping is 180-190 wtf this is screenshots from match i loaded into to demonstrate
which raises so many questions for me constantly how are Australians 2 best/reliable servers essentially on the opposite side of the globe from us vs a quarter the distance

i feel you men, every time that i have to fire at least 2 times so the shot be registered (even if it gives me the recoil for the fist shot) or when my tank is starting drifting or the sudden or when i am cruzing going high speed and magically i hit something and lose all my memento and all this in Europe playing in the EU server, when i was on vacation in the land down under and even if i said i wouldn’t touch my laptop when i was there i tried to play a game but when i got in i had 300 ping
Yeah, youre right
POV: Rest of the world discovers gaming in Australia is equivalent to self harm.
yeah high ping in this game is actually the worst, you hear people go it lets them dodge shots and stuff and say high ping is a buff, but it isn’t by a long shot.
notching isn’t just a skill based thing for high ping players like it is with regular ping players, instead skill just changes the percentage of gambling you’re doing that rng decides not to kill you.
Its actually why I stopped playing air as much with the shear amount of fox3 spam and wvr meta of the micas and r77-1 a while back made it impossible for me to do well or defend without it being a big gamble that any of the stuff i do even works anymore.
plus the fact that with the missile spam mouse and click radar controls are the best, however with high ping the thing is near impossible to use lmao so cyclic is the only way and that is frkn terrible to spam switch target 20 times miss it by one and do it again in a short period of time as you try lock the missile coming at you .
ground ping is annoying but its more like any shooter you just need to be more campy or standoff as the extra time for reaction just is kinda annoying but not impossible to work around.

also I did play nuclear warfare to see what the constant complaints were about such as nato players being held at spawn and such.
what were they even talking about it was fine playing high alt and notching was the same as it was prior maybe even easier, the only thing of note was that everyone is either a coward or doesn’t know how to bvr because there all on the floor so it makes any mechanical scanning radar with small scan areas suck when played in the bvr format.
( I’m complaining about that because for a mode like this the acceleration and speed boost of the f15e over the f15c ge should have made it better for it but no i ran into the issue of i couldn’t find anyone along the floor with the tiny scan areas for its tws.)
also this is my own complaint if you’re gonna complain about being spawn camped by spaa and r77-1 stop spawning at the forward goddamn bases i had 12 people spawning there over and over .
spread out play the further back ones to give some breathing room was there silly sauce given to these players before they started playing because they seem to have forgotten the last 2 years of META and gameplay norm changes.
On an actual note can i have someone actually dot point the issues because so far all i keep seeing is very exaggerated claims about Russian/Warsaw bias and difficulty, both of these alone so far seem to be player skill and iq induced and i don’t want to just be going around saying skill issue, if there’s problems i do want to understand and view the issues if there are any significant ones?
Poland mentioned 💪💪💪
