A1E1 Independent
uk_a1e1_independent
Arcade Battle BR: 1.3 → 1.0
Realistic Battle BR: 1.3 → 1.0
Correct gun elevation range (Bug Report)
Rationale
The Independent is huge, thinly armored, and has a gun that would already be considered meh by 1.0 standards. It’s got a decent reload and a few Nigels to spare, but those are the the only things it has going for it.
and still, never pick up the kill because if he doesnt want to die he doesnt have to
if you are not staying close to your top speed as much as possible throughout a game in really any jet then you will have some issues
oh no its an aa20 what ever will i do
and since you love it so much most su7s will be bombing and dont leave room for rockets
assuming it does run rockets then anything except the S24 add a hefty drag penalty
One source I have mentions there was a prototype of the Ostwind with 3.7 cm Zwilling (double) mount.
lmao deeply unserious suggestion
which, given the Su-7s can just base bomb with impunity, is fine.
Su-7B out earns premiums at that BR
Not necessarily, maintaining absolute max speed is basically impossible.
Wasting speed, sure, but you’ve got turn at some point, the question isnt necessarily about max speed, but how well you can maintain that energy and regain it after its lost.
Su-7s accelerate very well iirc.
Turn?
You can kill a base with 2x Napalm, and with diminishing returns mechanics, that might be the most rewarding thing to do.
I frequently run rocket pods on aircraft that lack flares (including subsonics at 9.7) because being able to defeat a missile that would otherwise instantly kill you, is more valuable than the performance I would have gained running nothing.
The main reason why the Su-7 won’t move down in BR, even if Gaijin was fine with letting those things bully 8.0s
Yup. Even in “fast” base bombers, there isnt really anything you can do to beat an Su-7 to a base.
Slow ones… You are screwed
pretty sure it mentions a vertical mount for that tho, so this one is wrong techinally.
With the exception of last month, the Su-7BMK (also 9.3) consistently kept a top 3 stop in the average SL per spawn leaderboard
The only difference between the BMK and the B is that the BMK has two more pylons to stuff either 2 extra 250kg bombs or some extra rockets under
So, it is safe to say that the Su-7B won’t be going down in BR lol
Yup. it moved up with a good reason
Exactly, it’s unfair that this fighter has such a high BR; almost all fighters at 11.0 are better than it (or maybe all?), and F-104S have 11.3 BR… Nonsense.
What’s more, the F-104G/S lacks EEGS and IRST; reports on this were accepted two years ago, but to this day they still don’t have the full capabilities they had in reality… It’s really sad how neglected and forgotten these fighters are :(
PS: And where are those iconic extra fuel tanks on the wingtips?.. :(
Oh no, a mid tank get’s a gimmick that rarely saves it
Boom, 11.0 here we go
But US suffers!
Also, russian bias!!!
They aren’t only iconic, but also very necessary for gameplay because F-104s eat fuel extremely fast, that makes them barelly playable on EC maps. This issue affects ASA the most since it’s placed at higher BR.
I would say ive never hd this problem before but that may be because im the only guy crazy enough to climb in an ASA. Rocking around at mach 2 15km up is the only way i like playing it. simple too fat to mp.
I believe that the A6E TRAM should stay at 10.7. USA does not have a 11.0 lineup to use this in ground RB. The A6 does not even have fire and forget munitions this requires you to stay on target much longer risking your aircraft. Compared to something like the buccaneer with man in the loop at a lower BR is reason enough to keep it at 10.7
i wouldnt have anything against an 11.0 M1 abrams if it would mean i wouldnt have to use M774 (hell id even take a marginal improvement of M833 over 774)
that thing is honestly completely viable until 4.7 to use
i’ll also point out that the SU-7 (or any of the mach 2 capable planes at 9.3) can just outrun the 9Bs, especially if it’s from a sub sonic, unless you are quick on the draw as it passes in an overshoot. missiles that will start to catch up to it does not appear until the later versions of the IR missiles like the 9J which is usually found in 9.7 plane, though i am not sure if an 9E can catch up to a Su-7
