I find it very unreliable personally, mostly with the release controls being uh inconstant.
Don’t get me wrong I’ve had some luck. But in GRB I’d rather just use the CCIP and/or bombsight, especially for SEAD
Has anyone mentioned that the Naval BR system has been crashed? we need another BR extend for Naval toptier, unless someone believes that BB and CL could be same BR
Fair enough. Though I really want a 10.0 tornado for GRB so I can loft bombs or make ultra low passes using CCRP. Half the reason why I wanted GMR modeled was for exactly that kind of CCRP control
I keep trying to make passes like that in my 9.7 Harriers, always end up bomb tossing or flinging rockets from 5km or something lmao. The Gepard and Friends are nasty up close lmao, though I commonly find people trying to blast me from outside their effective range, the tracer fire gives me a target at least.
Really need Phimat on the GR3, then you can just start dumping mass loads of Chaff to help throw the Radar locks on those. Might help a little, but betwene the Harriers IR sig issues and that BR for CAS in general, yeah, GR3 sounds rough.
its been mentioned a couple times in the past +1700 posts
but since air, ground, and naval BR changes are lumped into the same thread they get buried rather quickly
Eh, it’s in an okay place, the issue is more what surrounds it, it’s just okay in a sea of fairly exceptional options, hell even in it’s own tree the Buccaneers are arguably better cas, outside that the SU-25 & A-4s are pretty exceptional. I personally rate it about on par with the Alphajet, just a little better in most ways.
Yeah… They are trying to decompress by lowering the BR of ships rather than raising them.
Which is Gaijin’s definition of Decompression…
But I fear half the issue is that they dont want to massively decompress naval without doing the same to air. That way you dont have something like a Buc S2 bombing top tier battleships.
The F-20A is not AMRAAM capable. I believe mockups of the missile was mounted on the wing when neither Tigershark nor AMRAAM had been fully developed at the time. It was planned for the Tigershark to use AMRAAMs if it went into production, but the Tigershark project was cancelled before it gained the ability to fire AMRAAMs. Iirc the Aim-120 went into service after the Tigershark’s cancellation.
Aircraft: F-4J, FGR.1 and FGR.2
Br change: 12.0 → 11.7
Reasoning:
Can we PLEASE move down the British Phantoms and the F-4J? 12.0 is a very rough bracket for those aircraft. 11.7 would be a HUGE quality of life improvement.
As it is, they’re all dead content. The British ones especially. They’re effectively worse than the F-4E, due to the lack of 7Fs, an internal gun, and lack of slats.
Also, all of these start with two 9Ds stock and no radar missiles. Trying to stock grind that at 12.0 is near impossible.
F-20 wasnt a test candidate for AMRAAM while it was being developed, primarily because the F-20 was more of a private venture rather than an official US government project and was seeking the export market but the lack of any prospective buyers due to its costs killed it before AMRAAM’s were finished
