the problem is the mitl is still bugged on it meaning most of the time it refuses to go where youve marked and simply flies over. Or it misses due to the tank not actually being where its being shown so it just hits next to them on their screen. Compared to other mitl munitions ive used so far these seem to be the most buggy for some reason.
All this not to mention how slow and obvious the martels are, the fact i have to fire 3 for a 2s6 just to even have a chance of getting anything past them should tell you how easy to is to intercept. Moving this thing up wont do anything but take away our ONLY fnf cas bellow 10.7.
i mean i mostly agree, but the thing is not large. its tiny,
just drive next to any other tank and youll see,
its the size a standard civilian light truck with a added radar & missile post on the bed.
also its a godlike scouting vehicle, probably the best in the game, the binoculars view is hilariously high.
it would be pretty good if it could lock further away.
The MITL update both buffed and nerfed the AJ168s.
The buffs:
The AJ168s feel like they have better overall range performance and they dont miss as often. MITL allows for AJ168s to be fired from very long range and guided onto a specific target well outside of the range of any SPAA, keeping the Buc S2B safe.
The Nerfs:
The seekers no longer have any zoom (AGM-65B has virtually 10x the zoom the AJ168 has 29.46x vs 3.53x) , and so spotting anything beyond a few KM away is virtually impossible, this means you cannot ripple fire multiple AJ168s at multiple targets or even the same target. You can ripple fire and guide teh last one, but then the other 2 are just decoys.
With how easy the AJ168s are too intercept by basically anything, let alone an actual SPAA… the increased effective range isnt necessarily that big of a deal, and even if it was, the SP cost is much much higher than say, using the Jaguar GR1B with GBU-12s.
I dont mind the changes to the AJ168, its more realistic overall, but I dont think its current state justifies being 10.7. Alternatively though, they could add AS.37s
Not to mention even when you do hit someone its usually just “hit” due to the recent nerfs… I kinda preferred it before mitl was added tbh as it had a pretty good loal ability when fired from 6km. Now i can barely see whats going on at all.
Been using drag bombs on the jags recently, quite funny to just thunder over the battle at mach while dropping drag bombs. Although it does require you to have a buddy in a light tank to ping guys for you. Im missing nuclear thunder quite a bit as using them in that game mode was really funny on the fg.1
at the range where the tv seeker will lock on targets you can already see the enemies with your naked eye very easily, i havent experienced this as an issue.
The few times I tried that approach I literally couldnt see the target I knew was there even at 4-5km away, which really isnt where you want to be when there is a 2S6 currently firing at a teammate, maybe the render distances are buggy as hell or stupidly tied to crew skill.
But I found it basically impractical to use the 3.5x zoom of the seeker to LOBL
True, but if you have to get that close anyway, do we really consider the Buc S2B on par with something like the Hawk 209 with 4x AGM-65Gs or the A-10A Late with 6x AGM-65Ds, given the Buc S2B only has 3x AJ168s
I just feel this is a blanket nerf to MITL aircraft and not actually any issue with the Buc S2B or AJ168s being too strong at 10.3
Probably better to get the hawk 200 moved down to 10.3. I cant really see it being any better than the a10 early, that combined with the fact the german f4f is 10.3 i believe with 2 agm65 and a 3000lbs bomb. I know which one i would rather have.
The T-64A entered service in 1968, I fail to see how the M1 Abrams that entered service in 1980 would be it’s peer.
1968 is when the US was still primarily using the M60A1 (not even the stabilized version yet).
It’s not.
Every MBT at these BR’s struggles when dealing with a full uptier.
The T-80B gets lolpenned anywhere by an M1A1 Abrams whilst also being less mobile, having massively worse gun handling characteristics, slower reload, worse survivability, etc. etc.
That’s a problem with BR compression and not a problem with the M1 being weak for it’s BR.
If you’re going to buff every 10.7 MBT to deal with 11.7’s, then how do you think 9.7’s will fare against these massively buffed 10.7’s?
In this rather silly screenshot we see 2 bad SPAAs meeting at the edge of the map, it also shows that the Antelope is quite large. Maybe calling it “huge” is a bit of an exaggeration though.
The best? Eh, probably not but it does do the job well if you don’t need to shoot anything. I can say that the QN506 is much better at scouting at 10.0, thanks to the thermal commander sight.
