Wait people actually try to play as strike fighters for ground targets?
I’ve literally just been top of my team playing as a fighter and then when I have SP for nukes I just go for the enemy airfields or go for the crowds of players and bomb them.
After my ARM start to disappear, I completely stopped using them
Yeah ?
Isn’t the point of this event to test out new stuff, ARMs included ?
You’re pretty much playing ARB with few caveats.
ARMs are not going to be effective even in GRB, one GBU/Maverick is more useful than a missile that can target only ONE target, implying he doesn’t intercept it or turns off his radar…
I’ve been having fun using nukes to destroy airfields and S-300/Patriot sites. It’s pretty relaxing lol First I do some PvP of course and after I’m done with the long range SAM sites I go back to PvP
Idk, I was so focused on being able to sling nukes at other players I couldn’t be bothered to play the Su-24 or A7E
It would be very useful in GRB, For example, with an F-16 you would be able to carry two AGM-88 and 6 AGM-65. You can use ARM (which are wayyyy faster then AGM-65 and hence harder to intercept with SACLOS spaa like pantsir) to take out SAM and then use the free airspace to use your mavericks
I do
I do like strikers like A10C and F111F these semi-modern strike aircraft
However, after realizing the AI AA could intercept my bomb and AGM way better then player could do, and only very few scores were given after killing the ground target
I have to go back to the A2A pack
I literally hate such discouragement by Gaijin that not letting Strike aircraft do something well in ARB once again.
Besides, the BR is completely broken. US jets have too many flaws when they go against the MiG-23
Why is the F-18C early, F-14A and F-14B allowed but not the Su-27?
It’s just air RB but worse because you can’t even climb to properly use radar missiles (because the AA is way too good), and you can’t easily go for ground targets because you can’t climb, and most of your munitions are shot down anyways (because the AA is too good and too dense)
There is a lot of potential, but it’s wasted at the moment.

F14s are so rubbish in the game mode dont even bother about it
Su27 could bring a lot of 27ER and r73, which is too powerful compared to f18c-early
And that’s what Gaijin could do better
they dont even play their own game
Because I’d literally have 30 kills and 2 deaths with access to 2x R27ET and 4x R27ER and R73 for the moshpit fights.
It’s a bit crazy just play the Yak 141 since it’s a mini Su-27 in terms of amount of R27 and now it can also mount R73
Gaijin never fails to excite player base and then immediately disappoint them

The issue is having to fire 2-4 at each aa system
the F-14 is not that bad, I had an enemy who topped their team with like 6k score with the F-14B. I am just saying that they should at least try allowing the Su-27 for a little bit to see if the balance is fixed (more top players for USSR team) or just not allow some of the us planes like the F-14
man R27’s are just being too good in flur balls
couldn’t barrel roll it
couldn’t notch in time
I wanted a SEAD lite experience, but all I got was ARB where everyone hugs the ground.

true but the aim-7s are not that bad either, plus you can more easily multipath in this mode
you could have F14 being top like 1 or 2 games, depends low tier or whatever
but basically flying at multipath high is almost common sense already
Mig29(9.13) are doing the job so well that i even wish to grind to mig29(9.13) with my GE now
r73+27ER are so good
