I just don’t understand why an 10.3 airframe with at most 10.7 payload is on 11.0 the plane is absolute GARBAGE in any aspect .
Want to use on GRB ? Too bad get smoked by any anti air because your ONLY guided ordnance is a laser guided bomb which forces you to fly in a straight line to hit and takes half a minute to hit.
Want to use to grind your tech tree in ARB too bad as well, your missiles are awful and will miss even when the enemy is not paying attention because it likes to aim for anything else than the plane your shooting at, want to use guns? Oh you need to be a f cowboy to hit those slow velocity 30mm pea shooters, qnd even if you hit sometimes they don’t even do decent damage to the other guy.
I wonder why ppl don’t buy this why bother buying an bad vehicle for a meh nation if you can buy an a10 that has the same air-air payload but much better cas options and an actual enjoyable air frame.
And now you guys are removing it from the shop because it doesn’t sell, its obvious that it wont sell well…
The platform is fun (in a receptive gamemode like SB) but compared to many many 10.7s… Its chronically underpowered at 11.0. There is no justification for it to be higher than the regular TT AMX just because of the MAA-1s which are only really a side-grade to the 9Ls (sometimes better, sometimes worse, usually the same)
They probably could get away with being a lower relative BR in the future, but with the current compression… 10.7 is probably about as low as it can go and is stuck like similar airframes such as the Buc S2B
Wont comment on GRB, having only played it in GSB a handful of times but usually just ASB. But I imagine fighting against even 11.7 SPAA is a chore given that fighting 2S6s was a chore in GSB. (and that s only when GBUs are functional, they arent currently and havent been for 2 months)
Given that’s a slow platform, in air simulator battles is a good striker but far from the best, it’s somewhat agile. In ground battles the situation is the same, now that battle rating 11.0 and battle rating 11.3 is far away from top anti-air systems, yet AMX A-1A not being so much popular, it will take a while to see if the data on the airplane will take a positive change.
Meh, I’ve cooked an F-5E with the A-11A, but I mean yeah it’s got power issues. Despite that it has a great non-afterburning engine and you can go transonic even with full ordinance. With no ordinance I was able to get it to supercruise barely.
Yeah whilst Mavericks would be great on the AMX, this just isn’t really true and only applies for the past little bit. Fly low and pop to kill aa, then do whatever you want. This thing is busted in GRB. Though A-1A will struggle against pantsir.
Not a bad airframe, A-1A only sucks because it has a bad air to air missile and is uptiered, it is still a great plane. Also the A-10A is nowhere near close in terms of performance what are you on 💀💀.
True, if you fly in a straight line for about 2 minutes which isn’t that bad , but im talking about the air frame not the engine, the plane sucks at turning because its not meant to so but still bad anyway, if y ou ever play it on sim battles just by doing a bit more G’s you can lose control aswell.
busted ? nah, can be used but it still sucks , remember that in the same br range you have faster, and better equiped planes for it, and once you get in a uptier your pretty much a free kill for any AA.
You also don’t have the A10 so Im pretty sure you don’t know what your talking about, both are attackers , while the a10 is slower, it has an equivalent missile with much better turning radius and a much better gun, and also the mavs on it makes the a10 able to even in arb destroy easily 6 ground targets and get a kill or two , in downtiers maybe even more kills.
Im talking about my experience . from playing both vehicles the a10 is far superior in all aspects .
I’m not saying that the A-1A is not criminal overrated because of the MAA-1, but for group RB it is still great.
Aren’t using it right man, it’s nimbleness makes it really easy to go low and suprise attack a AA, then you can do whatever you want. Like say it sucks all you want, but my experience on the contrary is much different. Also if you want to get specific the A-1A has a better targeting pod and the Lizards are equivalent to the paveways.
Sure you’re right, but I’ve played plenty against the A10A with the A-11A in specific, I can win every time. If you seriously think the A-10A is a better flight model then it truly is a skill issue on your part, not even a skill issue but just confusing.
Comparing the AMX and A-10A in ARB is wild, completely different thinks. You can play the AMX as a fighter and get like 5 kills (yes even with with A-1A). The A-10A is just completely different
Impressive not gonna lie, but yk that the tech tree is in a lower BR, which is the main point here, why the premium one is at a higher br than the tech tree one if its pretty much the same ?
Maybe you should test fly the a10 for you to actually know how much better it performs in dogfights, not everyone is smart enough to go vertical and even when the enemy goes vertical against the a10 you can do something once they start diving on you, unlike the amx where it can’t out turn most things and rely on the complete unawareness of the enemy for him to use a single flare and dodge your missile.
So tell me how they are so different that makes one a 10.3 material and the other 11.0 material.
Im pretty sure you can do the same on the a10 and maybe even easier since you have more ammo for your main cannon
