I hate the Su-24 it’s big redeeming feature is a MAW.
Yeah you can score those kills sure, but if a semi competent F-4S / J player is about, he’ll murk you everytime.
It seems they broke the MTI mode on the MiG again, because I couldn’t get it to lock to save my life last night.
And r60s? Don’t even get me started on how bad they are.
I think a lot of people bought F-4 S/J just for grinding this event?
Oh yeah. I saw a few people yesterday who had never flown it according to the stat card, show up and start abusing it
Eh r60m isn’t all that bad but it’s definitely no r73
I’d take aim-9Ls any day of the week over an R-60
Aim 9Ls are:
Longer burning
More flare resistant
Wow you actually made it unplayable. Well played gaijin, well played
Yeah I think its time for a break
I like SU-24 runs. The huge amount of fuel makes it possible to go for a big flanking run around the hot zones to headshot that central frontline spawn base. Its quite consistent, cause with that amount of fuel you can simply dodge the SPAA clusters and enemy player presence. Then you approach their forward AF from behind or side…drop the 30kt nuke and match is almost pre-decided. Always very rewarding…like 1000 for the AF/NPCs + all those jets which are close. You can’t do it in a Phantom and 20mins fuel (and without MAW, which is life saving). I managed to get top scores with Su-24…several times. Very good jet. Similar to Tornado, imho.
Mig-23 …imho it feels worse now. I remember during the first two or three stars I had alot more success using MTI. Now you permanently lose lock, lock empty space and the lock box doesn’t seem to match with the target jet…which makes your R-24R miss. R-60M still very op when fired close range…doesn’t seem to go after flares the first few 100 meters. When you time it right its the king of headon kills.
Allied side currently sufferes F-4S and J players. They use PD and 7F to masskill Migs. You barely get something left to grind in your F-4E. These two badly need to get banned from gamemode. Its not healthy when these player rack up multi-dozen kills that easily. Not for the US team and not for the russian side, ofc.
NPC SPAAs are too op in general. With OSA/BUK beeing the worst contenders. I started to hate the mode cause of this and I’m glad when its over tomorrow.
oh yeah, instead of F-4E I think F-4J would be more reasonable to have. Also give the F-111F instead of the A-7E, it would be more equal to the Su-24.
Also, could we may get air detonation for the nukes? In most cases, they will be detonated above the ground to get more damage and as a nice sideeffect: less radiation on the ground. I think, this would be a nice detail overall.
F111F is way better than the Su-24, I have both and it’s night and day lol. f111A would be a better match speed and CM wise
For real! F-111F would be real equal of Su-24 instead of the stink F-8E or whtvr we have rn
I think pretty much anything would work in place of this stink F-8E we have rn, and the other one with no cannons (LMAO)
Oh yeah I agree I think the A7E being the nuke carrier was a silly choice. If anything the F4E could’ve been given both the large and small nuke
spaa is taking all the kills what are we even supposed to do
Wait, you play USA or USSR this event?
True!
Both
How did you not know F4E carries both 5 kt and 30 kt nuke?
Does it, damn I skipped it welp, I feel silly grinding the 500 sp anytime I wanted a nuke lmao
