No Rank 8 Premium Jet for Russia?

What are you confused about.
It’s a known fact that higher you go up the BR, gameplay becomes more and more automated thus easier.

I’m confused on the part where you think 14.0 gameplay is easier to adapt to or doesnt use the most complicated mechanics in the game. The most you can say is that it doesn’t take that much skill to launch a missile, but it takes a high amount of skill to repeatedly defend against enemy missiles while also remaining effective yourself.

that is not what he meant

the planes are doing alot more for you at 14.0 than at 12.0

for example in a 12.0 plane the radar is much more of a hassle to use so you need to constantly adjust it and in a 14.0 your radar just works (most of the time)

France and China also have none.

I imagine all 3 will get 1 or more sooner or later.

In the mean time not having noobs grinding the whole tree with a Tier 8 jet is apparently considered a good thing by many.

14.0 jets require little skill to perform decently with.
Much less than for example props.

Don’t agree

I’m a perfect example of this.
I used a shitbrick called Su-34 exclusively in ARB with piss poor ARHs and still managed to do decently against hordes of UFOs.

Doing an average job in the modern jets is piss easy, even for a mediocre pilot like me.

or you’re just fighting people who base bombed up to top tier

(unless you’re being downtiered to the premium hornets/ bison/ F-2s, who are a new level of stupid)

If I did that, other mediocre players could do the same.
Entry level to perform decently in a modern ARH-slinging jet is extremely low, even less than for 11.7 MBTs.

Gaijin quite literally has money sitting on a table, but they for some reason refuse to grab it. This behavior can’t really be explained with any logic.

so you’re suggesting we need more base bombers at top tier?
You seem to forget the whole reason people buy premiums is to get better, top tier jets
What’s the end goal for people just buying the top tier jet as a premium?
Sure they get their top tier but then what?
They don’t have an incentive to grind anymore.
Not to mention top tier would be a miserable environment to learn how to play. You have to at least know mostly what you’re doing.

No, we need more modern, ARH-slinging jets as premiums as plenty of highest BR premiums are nothing but a pieces of junk that are almost unusable in ARB.

To research the whole TT as fast as possible and trying out interesting vehicles along the way ?

They do, it’s called playing nine (9) other nations.
All what you said is proven to be wrong by just looking at top tier tank premiums, as they sell like hot cakes because they offer the most for players buying them.

Top tier gameplay can be summed up in like 5 minutes, it’s definitely not harder to learn there than it is in prop tiers.
Probably the most difficult thing about top tier is setting up the key binds.

which is still more than possible to do with a rank 7

which can be grinded through with rank 7 premiums, which are more beginner friendly.

Of which they will have nearly NONE set, and so are free food.

Higher BR vehicles have higher modifiers, so it’ll be faster.

Beginner friendly, says who ?
Top tier automated gameplay is pretty much the most beginner friendly thing you can have.

Same can be said for rank 7 premiums, your point ?
You know a tier is braindead easy to play if your biggest obstacle are key binds.

At this point just admit you don’t want to see new people in the tier you play, while you’re perfectly fine with new people being just below enough where you won’t be able to see them, totally disregarding feelings of people that play there as well. That’s pretty selfish.

guilt tripping is insane. I liked playing 11.3, but now thats basically 12.3

yea no I can’t wait for a 10 killstreak if I just lob off my Su-30s missiles at any premium players trying to multipath
Lets bring up the closest thing into buying your way to top tier

I wouldn’t say its doing too hot for what is a VERY capable jet.
New players just don’t know what to do at top tier or close to it.

0.89 K/D for a squadron jet that’s fighting 14.0s on the regular doesn’t seem too bad considering it has only 4 ARHs.

Also, knowing what to do isn’t a requirement for premiums, see Ground.

It wasn’t seeing 14.0s for a decent while, and imo the 13.3 matchmaker is pretty good at the moment- lots of 12.7 hornets and 13.0 F-2s are being played

I still don’t understand your point here, people are allowed to do poorly in a vehicle.
Swedish 13.0 premium with ARHs have 1.09 K/D even with atrocious things like FM and RWR, so I doubt people would struggle playing a much better plane in every regard, like premium Rafale.

definitely. its just the reasons they do poorly.
Is it a skill problem or is it a plane issue (JF17 is more than capable)

yea no shit if you struggle in a rafale you got a major problem

Doesn’t matter whose issue is that, Gaijin doesn’t mind having wildly different skill levels between teams so I don’t see an issue there.

True, so one more reason to add capable premiums instead of giving us ground pounding shitbricks as premiums.

“so because theres an issue, lets make it worse”

As you’re referring to france here, the NF5A is insanely good, and the F1c isn’t a bad pick either
