Mode: Ground Realistic Battles
Vehicle: Saab F 35
BR: 10.7 → 10.0 or 10.3
The vehicle is barely super sonic with only 9x 1000lb bombs and only 2 AIM-9N which are essentially Aim 9P3.
At the same BR we have vehicles like the FG.1 which can run 11x 1000lb bombs and have access 4x Aim 9G and 4x Skyflash. (This goes for most Phantoms.) Additionally vehicles like the A7E with guided bombs or the A10 Late with 6x AGM 65D’s.
Vehicle: F-100A, F-100D & F100F
Gamemode: Air Realistic
BR Change: 9.3 —> 9.7
Reason: The F-100 is a supersonic aircraft with 4x Aim-9E at the same battle rating as subsonic aircraft such as the Hunter FGA9 or Hunter F58 armed with only 2x Aim-9Es. There is no reason for it to be below 9.7
Vehicle: Ariete (P)
Gamemode: GRB
BR Change: 10.7->10.3 and remove dm33.
or
keep it at 10.7, but buff its reload from 6 to 5 seconds just like the other arietes.
Reason: currently its just a leopard 2a4 with 0 armor and a very slightly better round. RN there is no reason to play it while the hungarian 2a4 exists in the tech tree.
Vehicle: F-104a + F-104c
Gamemode: ARB
BR Change: 9.3 > 9.7
Reason: Super sonic air frame with a vulcan and 2 to 4 9bs. At high speeds the 9b is a potent missile and the air frame allows for a specific playstyle, where you become untouchable in brs bellow 10.3. As long as you stay fast you can negate most missiles you face while being able to come and gun run slow jets.
F-16A Block 20s should carry AIM-120C-5s, not AIM-120As, since ROC never bought the AIM-120A.btw,the f16a blk20 does have HMD and LANTIRN pods
Now that the sidam has access to the ammobox, i disagree.
The ammo refill for apds belts takes like .5 seconds and you can spam the apds rounds at quick bursts on a captured point or anywhere you can build the ammobox. Just mind that the HE belt refill takes much longer, try to avoid using any rounds from the HE belts as much as possible.
Its very effective against both ground vehicles and aircraft.
its a very fun vehicle to play imo. ive gotten a few nukes with it funnily enough too. I challenge anyone to try and to do the same.
The lacking lead on anything past 2.5km makes it impossible to kill helis half the time as you got as much range against them as a stinger. that along with the pure he belts makes the shilka better. Along with missing a track radar. Either the sidam should move to 8.0 or the shilka moved up to 8.3 as no spaa with search radar should be bellow 8.3 (cough, zsu 37-2, cough).
with the apds belts you can shoot much further than with the he belts. you have longer reach than zsu-23-4.
stock grind is a bitch tho.
True, but limited to 30 rounds per gun (including the ammo crate) stops it from being a menace like the falcon. And sitting on a cap is not always possible meaning you are very limited on what and who you can kill. The zsu has decent pen and can track and barrel very easily allowing for quick escapes. it has no right being lower than all the other radar spaa, along with the zsu 37 2.
as i said earlier, you can build a ammobox anywhere, but sure its not a falcon, but falcon doesnt have tracking or a laser.
zsu-37-2 should most definedly go higher, but that doesnt mean sidam goes lower.
the ammobox works like this: you have 60 apds rounds + 660 available for refill from the ammobox.
the ammobox doesnt care what ammo it gives you, it just gives you 660 rounds total.
the otomatic also hugely benefits from this. now it has access to 102 apfsds rounds in theory instead of the measly 12 previously.
Wait, what?
Did not know it worked like that. Still dont think its incredible in the ground role but in the air role it is abysmal. I dont think the siddam should move down but if the shilka doesnt it needs to go down as its not nearly ass good in the air role as it.
Also, this includes the siddam mistral as how is that 9.7 while the shilka with missiles is 9.3 and is about to get a buff?
come back after using the sidam with apds rounds against aircraft, its no slouch. i personally hugely prefer it over the 23-4.
i believe the sidam (mistral) should be 9.3 and the santal should be 9.0, the mistrals are just that miserable.
23-4-m4 should most definedly go up to 9.7, if the new missiles are that noticeable better.
Its sad after you find out the mistrals irl use the magic 2 seaker… in game they can be flared as easy as r60s… Ive almost spaded the sidam, so ill give it another try. But without the new radar screen (which is just another thing its lacking) it just doesnt give a good lead. That new radar screen has made most of the worse spaa amazng (marksmen for one) while the sidam is stuck without it.
i personally avoid using it. i dont have fun just looking at a radar screen, i want to play the game myself.
But i know that some SACLOS AA(rolands… cough…) benefit hugely from the radar screen’s automatic track/lead.
I agree. It’s nonsense moving it to 8.7, having at that br the T-62, with just better shell and same mobility
Gun spaa also get a tremendous buff from it, its highly accurate as it gives perfect lead.
And the fact an spaa at 7.7 gets access to it is not even funny.
It might be, however, my point is that it has such terrible acceleration which makes its climb also terrible. It wouldn’t bother me if they ommit this one out of my list. I just think it’s not a very good jet, the turn time is not something a jet should need anyways.
Do you have no upgrades? It’s faster than the bmps, it has far better acceleration.
Xm800t 8.3 → 9.3 this thing has totally broken 7.3, 7.7, 8.0, 8.3, and 8.7
At a br where its the fastest fighter along with being able to out turn zeros makes it pretty good mate. Sure, the acceleration is bad but when you get it up to speed you can maintain it just fine, it plays like a delta. In good hands its an ace machine.
