Sorry, that had to suck.

but that’s a way less painful experience than military docs give you.

Has anyone got a downtier playing 10.7/11.0 air since Gaijin decompressed the BRs?’

I don’t think I’ve had a single non-11.7 game.

Just saw this in an old video.

I miss old Normandy so much, I can’t believe they butchered it, hacked it to pieces…

I really enjoyed the non centred cap design. It was nice to have a relatively common map that didn’t just have 3 caps all placed an equal distance from each spawn.

They took a perfectly fine map that offered flanking and plenty of counter play and turned it into a head on brainless mess and really hurts top tier gameplay. My only gripe with old Normandy was the windmill hill that had a somewhat nasty LOS on the western spawn, that could’ve been fixed with a simple terrain bump.

They also managed to make fields of Normandy worse which is genuinely impressive.

The only positive map change ever done was to sands of Sinai, unpopular maybe, but it made the A and B point less of a death trap and pushed people to actually play the other side of the map. The hill basically allowed control of the entire map and it was terrible imo.

I’m hoping 2025 brings new game modes and map changes for top tier SPAA, I REALLY love spawning in a SAM system the size of a house and having nowhere to hide and go.

Interesting video from an Abrams TC/Mechanic, he goes on to say that the only Abrams to see substantial hull upgrade was the SEP V3 at around the 15:30 minute mark, also kinda neat that he worked on the SA export variant and talked with Rheinmetall engineers about the L55 on the Abrams.

I found the perfect type-site for my archaeology dissertation.

Unfortunately its now under the southbound lane of the A1 motorway in Newry 🇮🇪.

Oof.

Wrong country mate. 🇬🇧

Lol its literally right on the border.

Still in the UK though.

If you bomb bases in a :

F-16
F-15
F-14
MiG-23
MiG-29
MiG-21
Su-27
J-8
F-5
M2K (not D)

Please stop. Like I’m being so fr please just stop. You have some of the best fighters at your BR and yet you bomb bases with them. Shame on you. ESPECIALLY if you sacrifice A2A to take bombs. I’ve been seeing a disturbing rise in MiG-23 and MiG-21s bombing bases. Especially the MiG-23 you are sacrificing crucial missile capacity. You are hurting your team, it’s time to go get some kills dude.

(These are all aircraft I have seen base bombing)

I saw a Saab 105 base bombing in a previous match. I also see tons of A-5Cs base bombing, when they really shouldn’t be.

Base bombing in general is very annoying, and I will judge any fighter aircraft that does it (excludingF-104s and a couple other planes).

There are some fighters that I’m fine with base bombing, F-104s just kinda suck and you gotta squeeze the RP in somehow so I understand. F-4s you don’t sacrifice any offensive payload so that’s really not horrible too unless you’re in a F-4EJ Kai or F-4F ICE, those 2 are good enough fighters and should not be base bombing.
