Ty,hopefully they make it useable in 3rd person like every other gun.
I played a little of this mode - alas, I avoided high tier jets despite playing this game for many years, because the mechanics of the weapons and their purpose always struck me as unfinished and half-baked. Thus, while I support the effort to make Air RB something OTHER than a dumb dogfight, and clearly see the potential, there’s nothing for a player like me to actually do in it, because I don’t understand how to use any of the weapons.
Guarding every possible ground unit with either cracked SPAAG-IFVs and SAMs is a terrible idea. The future developments of this mode need both those type of units AND groups of mostly-undefended units like existing Air RB has.
But other than that, keep on building this, and extend it to the props too - they also need a better mode to play in.
I hope they actually have it as radar guided
And add the b66 gun radar

I spawned in a match where tickets were bleeding out and the game was over. LOL they should not allow to join matches below a certain amount of points
My opinion, queue time should prioritize players that didn’t complete the task yet.
I should not have to use chaff I used the b52 before and didn’t have to use chaff but apparently I do now ??
Yess they are making tweaks to the mode as it goes on IDK if they will have patch notes for each one

Air force war game testing determined that dedicated arm air to air missiles would probably defeat amraams in comparable bvr conditions.
In theory ARMs have a number of advantages as among other things they would adquire the target sooner, give no launch warning, allow the airplane to freely manoeuvre instead of having to command guide the missile until it went pitbull. The main disadvantage would probably be inconsistent performance, and risk of friendly fire…

I was making a joke that fact I got shot down with it
Or you know… the enemy aircraft just switching off their radar and chuckling. Very few types of NATO aircraft have that capability compared to Russian/Chinese ones. I’m not an engineer so I can’t say definitively, but I imagine there would be some serious problems to having an ARM that also had a ARH seeker… for an AA weapon… it being massive for one, if it even could be made to work at all.
Thats not a problem for ground attack but you can’t have a missile the size of a phoenix for CAP.
Please make it a re-occurring thing if possible, one of the most fun events I’ve played in a moment.

Hit F6, and/or rebind the key to go directly to gunner view. Has worked for me every time I’ve tried, since the moment they added it to be previewed and test driven.
You aren’t using your chaff bro. Turn on periodic countermeasures (Periodic countermeasure release (on/off). You can also cycle between Flair + Chaff, Flair only, or Chaff only. There is a keybind for that too (Switch countermeasures).

The flankers would be OP (unless limited to R-27Rs which would be fair), but there is a reason why everyone wants to play the US at the higher tier. (even at the lower tier they still have the best A2A plane for the mode, the F-4S)

So question about the Tu95M and B52H will we be getting bigger/longer runways to accommodate for these amazing aircraft
No, gaijin added them as events so they can rot and never need to change ARB
Shame i would of love to see more detailed runways and air bases
