Well, at least you can enjoy your US planes again now while the MiG-23s get farmed by F-14s

Its amazing for SL.
Honestly it feels like F-15A is more of an issue than the F-14 (IRIAF). AIM-9M’s are simply very oppressive when everyone is multipathing, and you essentially get free kills with sparrows on people not multipathing.
I would not be opposed to seeing the Su-27 added as a proper F-15A competitor.

To reiterate what I actually said was that in pulse Doppler modes ie tws (regardless of HDN) that have a ground clutter filter the an/awg9 requires a change in distance if this change in distance is low or the target is moving away from the f-14 at the same speed that the f-14 is moving towards it tws will lose lock or have trouble even detecting it screenshots are useful but sometimes they don’t tell the whole story
F-4Es getting farmed by Mig-29s as well. ;)
It’s a double sided thing.
And honestly, without PD radars, there’s no chance of defending against Tu-95 and B-52 outside a gun run.

All the non-preset planes are an issue, some are less of an issue than others, but at the end of the day the game mode should be limited to only preset vehicles
They need to add proper ordinance RCS, the fact that the ancient OSA radar can pick up a missile at 10km from front aspect is insane. Goes for ground rb too with GBU-39 and such, those should not be picked up at distance with anything but the most powerful radars.

I like the variety you can get with non-preset vehicles, but everyone should absolutely be on a relatively even playing field, even if they have never grinded USSR/USA air before.
They could allow jets from other nations, when they’re either ru or us airframes.
I like the event currently as is, I don’t have Russian Air, and the vehicles I do have are not useable.
It would be nicer to maybe add a MiG29 to the preset and an F15/F16 with sparrows to the preset as well.
I kind of like using the A6 I hope that’s one that comes back or gets a tech tree variant
There really is no variety though right now
All the planes that people are allowed to bring could just be part of the preset and the matches would look roughly the same, except that the USSR side now would have a lot more players and a better chance of not getting stomped

because people like unique planes? They are pretty easy to obtain so not even a problem there
I like collectin unique planes, even If I don’t fly them on the daily, I wonder how some people that only see planes as purely PVP tools keep playing the game.
Either let everyone use 4th gens as part of the presets or don’t let anyone bring them
It can’t be that hard

The A6 Flight Model was very wonky for me. How was it for you?
would be a good fix to just give all those f15’s and mig29’s ngl , however i don’t think it would be an 100% fix , but def better than how it is rn

With variety I meant that I can choose to play my F-14, F-15 or F-18 depending on what I like best, or what fits the situation. Restricting it to (current) preset vehicles would remove that. However adding them to the preset would be great!

I don’t know, I don’t care about KD for this event.
I’ve noticed until Escalation 2, people will just use the preset planes from that point on. Its only for the first 15 mins where people are using their own planes.
Like I said, currently for me personally I don’t really care about what planes I go against, most people playing the event aren’t very good at air at least the matches I’ve played.
From the limited amount that I played this morning It had good characteristics for dodging and I also I am eager to test the ARMs but I think overall the A7 has the better kit having a gun and access to the aim9 and the ARMs
When everything other nation is mixed, why must it remain Russia vs. USA? It screws the whole thing up and defeats its own purpose >:(
