Don’t doubt yourself, this is an AI problem, not your technical problem. Their locking method is not the same as using radar waves or electro-optical locking in land warfare mode. This thing will lock your game ID at the game code level, and there is no countermeasur

I would rather have the working radar of the MLD with my SARHs over the dysfunctional radar of the 4E, thank you.

that is hilarious considering how the mig23’s radar is utter dogshit compared to the F-4S AND J that are currently cleaning the low bracket

you have no clue what your on about that like saying the F4E is the similar in load out the A model tomcat cause they both have AIM-7E2s and AIM-9s

first of the F4J has limited to HDN PD in all modes it also only gets AIM-9Gs which are less flare resistant in the new mode than the R60M and AIM-9L AND it doesnt have any DOGFIGHT slats so the MIG-23MLD the best 11.7 dogfighter can run circles around it

the MIG 23MLD has MTI mode which while limted always works in look down no matter the direction so multipathing can be just as hard as F4J and limited load out but its R24Rs are very potent and it has better flight model than pretty much any other F4 as it pulls 1-2 G more and retains speed better
its a comprimise for the MIG-23MLD if its MTI wasnt limited the way it is IT WOULD BE 12.0 easily

And we have gone full circle because
Stuff like the su25 and a10a are still ass because they are slow has hell

And the winners are su17 mig27k and su24
Sounds good until you realize the mig29smt and su30(premium) would blow any competition out of the water if they were allowed in

Given they are faster but still carry the same or even better missiles

And it does not get better at 14.0 were almost all fighters come with good cas

Not everyone has Js and Ss. And compared to the 4E, MLDs radar is infinitely better.

I count that has an aircraft loss

Did they nerf the explosive range of every bomb because of this event?

maybe could be why , dumb thing to do tho

I am playing prop ARB and the bomb cannot kill truck

tragic :(

I just ended a session with a very weird bug - upon releasing my nuke it just seemed to disappear. I had no idea where it was, so I rolled over, and dove for the ground, hoping to dodge both the OSA’s and the blast - and just when I was above the ground out of nowhere the bomb seemed to appear out of my F-4. I had just enough time to see it disappear before my F-4 got vaporised. And not the SAM site some 10 km further that I had lobbed it at.

And with that, I lost all of my spawnpoints.

The f4j/f4s, keeping in mind the current meta is pd radar and radar missiles since buk telar and hawk is forcing everyone on the deck, compared to the mig23mld has better:

  • search range
  • sweep angle
  • sweep angle options
  • tilt angle
  • sweep speed
  • acm box
  • acm range
  • acm options (hmd)
  • control over radar mode
  • chaff filtering (because of said control)
  • and better rwr
    That is for the innate downside of having 3 times the radar missiles of the mig23mld.
    so long as you arent stupid and take it into a dogfight, usa teams have every advantage in pvp over russian teams, you can watch that much yourself by playing any match in the lower bracket.

slower aircraft are better at ground pounding. the a-10 does not go 600kph because they didnt care to make it faster. you have much more time in the window where your ordinance outranges that sams, and much more time on target in general. they suck ass because you suck ass in them, they are literal monsters for ground pounding.

yes, I believe that is intended, since the f4e’s radar is much better than the mig’s and forces usa players to focus down the hawks in order to open up their better air to air option, something they are entirely not doing because they have the f4j and f4s which are incredibly op.

yall are applying the exact same mindset of air rb onto this event and then getting unhappy that it doesn’t play like air rb. gajijn is trying to no remake air rb and the only advice people are giving them is ‘event sucks make it air rb.’

they should have just made it either MLD VS F4J with minor mods like switching MTI and allowing carrying of the flare pod of the early mig 23 M and thats it thats all it take to balance it out obviously banning the F4S

or keep it the same as it is now swap the SU24 for MIG-27K and swap the MLD for the regular ML and then make the F111F the nuke plane for america

great job on ruining this mode

what the F4Es radar is worse than the MIGs as it doesnt even have a ground clutter filter its a slight upgrade of the F4Cs radar

Good results, I still need to refine my approach so I don’t end up eating shit due to carelessness

execpt thats not true as the MIG 23MLD can do the same if all you gotta do is multipath and force it close and you win as its brick

the event sucks after this update today…people are not as skilled as you even if you are a god in this game getting rewards is hard…you need atleast 70 ground kills do get the b52 or the tu95 yeah they definately “fixed it”

or just remove the f4j and f4s.

To solve the balance I suggest gaijin lowers the top br of the lower bracket down to 11.7 like was seemingly intended before, so that the free vehicles are the top br and their balance works. That plus fix the (hopefully) bug that allows russian sams to aim through mountians.

I think generally they can change up how the bases work, more health for the secondary bases so the losing team doesn’t get pushed back as far and so they’re more rewarding to nuke, and another I forgot lol

yes, which when compared to the no mti operation of the mig23 is much much better.
all usa teams would need to do is kill the hawks to open up the skies, and suddenly they start winning.
you are complaining to gaijin to nerf planes that are at a massive disadvantage, because their one singular advantage is actually being used, despite it being entirely usurped by much better aircraft on your own team.
fix your own problems instead of crying about them my dude, really no other way to say it.
