Since when was the forums font like this?

That’s an issue on your end.
I’ve sometiems had that font load when on other sites on mobile for a few seconds, but I’m not sure why it does that.
Yeah, back to normal now. Pretty weird though.
Holy damn, ARB is just as bad as I’ve left it months ago. First couple of minutes is reserved for climbing and slinging off ARHs, next couple of minutes are reserved for furball brawls and final couple of minutes are reserved for hunting hiding people.
I was flanking flying low and after I reached the battlefield, like 50-60% of the players were already out lol.
A similar thing happens at prop tier, but it takes more time for it to happen.
If you take the time to set up and climb, you will either end up in a situation where your team has already won, or that you’re stuck in a 5v1 because your team all died.
RB EC when gaijin.
Yeah it looks quite stupid and is far from fun, at least for me.
Also, is Mig-29SMT at 13.3 worth playing ?
Cool Sprites
Is it possible to win when 50% of your team is doing nothing but racing to bomb the bases to get free score for the event ?
I expect gajin add Royal Thai Air Force F-16A ADF with WVR AIM-9L & AIM-9M-9 and ARH AIM-120C-5 battle rating 14.0 in the first or second major update next year
AIM-120C-5 to replace AIM-120B on JAS 39 Gripen C (RTAF) in the first major update with BR up to 14.0
Just add R-73M & R-77-1 and go to 14.0
C5 replace B? no
AiM-120C5 in addition to AiM-120B maybe, like In the old days where your top fighter had Mediocre missiles to research first before the good ones come
Aye, top tier is just a completely different experience depending on what you’re playing too.
In F-15I, I can zoom up high, and just spend the majority of the match jousting with F-15E / EF’s. Actually quite fun to cycle through the the launch / notch / crank routine.
But then you hop into something that doesn’t have the flight performance to do this, or something limited to Fox-1, and it’s basically just ingesting grass on the deck, listening to Betty / Rita scream, praying multipath saves you, all whilst looking for the leftover scraps the guys in low earth orbit didn’t already bonk with an AMRAAM lol. Grim gameplay indeed.
Well, after unknown millions of SL burned over the years, these gamble-globes finally granted me my first ever vehicle, Newport News.
No interest in US naval, so completely useless to me, but still, beggars can’t be choosers i guess lol. She’ll make a fine port queen for my hangar.
Anyone else gotten anything of note?
I just know that Royal Thai Air Force Gripen C armed with AIM-120C-5, never bought AIM-120 AMRAAM early variants
20 backups 🙂

Honestly, i love the backups & RP boosters you get from these boxes.
Always nice to stock up on GE items for ‘free’ :)

Yeah I’m doing nothing else than hugging the ground, flanking and hoping I’ll catch someone unaware so my ERs can work.
I guess SMT with R-77s can’t challenge anything with AIM-120s in BVR and is doomed to sling them off at much closer ranges in a furball, right ?

I’m not overly experienced in Soviet/RU planes, so i’m probably not the best person to ask, but every time I have played my 29SMT since Fox-3 were added… it’s been a pretty awful experience lol.
Honestly, I just really don’t understand what i’m supposed to do with it. If you take it high - the Eagles and now EF’s will bully the living daylights out of it. If you stay low, the Falcons / Gripens / EF’s / J10 / Mirages will rip it to shreds.
Even deciding what missiles to carry conflicts me. R-77’s are the only reason this thing is at the BR it is, so it feels wrong to not bring 4-6 of them. But R-77 is one of (If not the?) weakest top tier Fox-3. Whereas comparatively, 27ET is the best LR-IR ingame, and R73 is the best SR-IR ingame.
So what do you do lol? If you play to its IR strenghts… you’re basically just an over BR’d MiG-29G. If you play with R77, You’re accepting being disadvantaged to everything you face, and if you take a hybrid 2x27ET / 2xR77 / 2xR73 load, it feels like you don’t have enough of any one thing.
I put my RU tree on ice until they get some more competitive aircraft.
Yeah I’ll probably stick to the ambush playstyle, slinging as many R-77s as I can before dying to UFOs in my boat.
Too bad it’s the only tree I have with high/top tier unlocked.
