Its a compression problem if anything, SU-25 doesnt belong at 10.7…

Once again, and I hope for the last time on this forum: Attack aircraft are not supposed to be competitive with fighters in Air RB. That is not their purpose and never has been. They are meant to destroy ground targets, not to be the best fighter against aircraft that are decades older.

So how do you spade them then?

If we reduce the reload of the sturer Emil, you should also reduce the reload of the Maus/E-100.
Maus turret has a better ammo layout AND 2 loaders, while Emil got not much space and just 1 loader. That doesnt make much sense.

So proposed change:

E-100/Maus reduce (aced) 18,2 secs → 12.3 secs.

If 1 loader with bad space, can reload a two piece ammo in 12,3 secs, 2 loaders with more space should at least do the same.

P.S. Can we talk about, how the crowded Obj 268 reloads a 152mm 2 piece ammo gun, with 1 loader faster, than the 2 loader spacious 128mm gun carriers. (17,1 sec)

Ground RB. f someone takes an attack aircraft into Air RB, they should expect to be an easy target, not the best fighter.

ground pounding?

grb rewards are ass bro

Yeah, and for an attack aircraft to be the best fighter in almost every match isn’t normal, not even in the game. I would assume a reasonable person would expect that an attack aircraft isn’t going to be the best fighter. If someone buys an attack aircraft expecting to massacre old fighters, then something is seriously wrong with this game.

Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: F-5E
BR Change: 11.3 → 11.0

Reasoning:

  • First, it has no ground ballistics computer, which also means you can’t use it’s mavericks as effectively since you can’t use target points and have to aim with your nose.
  • Second, it’s at the same br as jets like the F-4E which is stronger in every way except for maneuverabilty. It’s also at the same br as much stronger F-5Es like the Thais which actually have ballistics computers and much better AAMs, and even the Swiss one with a much better radar for locating enemy aircraft. Even the A-7K has better armament at a lower br.

I could even see a case for it going down to 10.7 so it could actually have a line up, and there will still be stronger options for air to air and air to ground like the F-4J and A-10A respectively, i mean even the NF-5A has better performance at a lower br.

They already have since quite some time.

? are you dumb. I can cant count how many times someones rushed in a puma just to spawn a do 335 or 50mm 262. Every nation has a fast tank, dont go bumbling on about how slow the tigers going to be when the american tanks at the br were slower than the tiger 2 (m26, t26e5, t30, t34, so on). Speed isnt everything, german teams just dont play the objective, and i would know as ive ground the german tree (was my first or second tree back in 2016 or so) and i gave up solely because the teams were so insufferably bad. And it hasnt changed.

i like the tiger buffs.

they will still be undertiered as hell btw

SU 25 doesnt belong in air rb, neither does the a 10. They ruin entire br brackets trying to make a ground attacker competative? It should be used in ground and only used in air to spade it. You can play like all the other slow bombers at those brs and side climb for 10 minutes while you wait for the bases to respawn because the cunts in a mig 21 bringing napalm stole all the bases…

To fix the problem gaijin need to sort their shit out and stop putting all the bases at the centre of the map and give more targets to destroy. Hell, they already have that in the ec versions of the maps but for whatever reason they make that a rare sight as well as only give you 30 minutes a match.

I say make all maps above 11.3 EC maps, While adding more targets to the lower br maps and spreading the bases out along with increasing the amount of them (if it means decreasing the points given per base so be it, just as long as they add more bases for you to bomb). This will give ground attackers something to do instead of ham fisting them into air and expecting them to fight every game.

Got a little heated… sorry.

Z47 4.7 →4.7

It only has HE shells!!! And that’s why it could be 4.7 instead of 5.0.

And also, this is the 3rd “Italian F86 BR joke Case”, due to a small group of players using it pretty well…

Not its not and t55 is amazing on 8.3

Maybe if they were useful in air RB I would agree, but everything in air rb needs to be decent at its BR, including attackers.

GRB isn’t an option either because some are just awful there, some don’t have any stock bombs, and you might not even have a tank at the right BR to use it.

How am I supposed to stock grind a Q-5A or Jaguar? Or any other attacker really.

Attack the ground targets.

Those don’t reward as much as player kills (and it’s less fun), and I shouldn’t be playing air rb only to ignore other aircraft.

Every single aircraft in air RB must be balanced primarily on their A2A combat capability unless gaijin entirely reworks the mode.
