It doesnt, I absolutely agree with that.
But if person A is deadset on claiming that 18C early is bad plane and has sub 1 KD on it while person B says its fine and has KD of nearly 3 with it, should person A either
a) ask himself “is there a possibility i am doing something wrong” or
b) call everyone stupid because he possibly cant be doing something wrong
?
At the end of the day, “skill” translates to how well person understands something. Thats really all there is to it.
Don’t forget, these same people with their humongous egos tend to get those personal high ratings by playing a very niche vehicle sets and pray upon other unbalanced vehicles such as the F/A-18C Early, that’s why they’re so devoted to gaslighting people online about the balancing situation of these vehicles because they know they’ve got no shot in real challenges thereby their numbers will go down if they face a real challenge and their ego following it.
I won’t deny that your stats are impressive, and I play with a friend regularly who has these stats:
…and also teaches me.
You clearly understand the game at a level I don’t yet. But here’s the thing: just because you can make the plane work, doesn’t automatically mean the plane is objectively on par with its competitors (i.e. survivorship bias). I’m not saying F/A-18C is unplayable. I’m saying that for an average or below average player like me, going against planes with better tools means I have to work 10x harder just to break even. Some planes just sit at BRs where they are objectively outclassed.
Cue about a month or so back where I was trying to farm the F-16XL event… in a Tornado IDS WTD61, and bemoaning how bad it was. I was doing everything I was told, but the fact was - I was getting shoved against SARH missiles I could barely dodge with a 3-9 because the plane turns like a bus…
One of my most played planes?
One I played more than MKK in the same time period since march 22?
gaijin just hate us and want us to die
amen
no they can’t. because this game is based on meta gaming, not competitive balancing and matchmaking, hence why we don’t have a ranking system based match making till this point in the game after so many years. you’re just wrong.
the way they choose and decide to add which vehicles and how, to which nations also supports this.
the matter is which vehicles you play more than this. you’re not fooling no child dude
But it shows what the plane is capable of if played to its strengths.
So that means you have to resing on improving?
18C early is my most played plane since march 22 and will likely stay like that because I want to play it a lot more as soon as MK2/MKK goes up.
Which effectively has the same result as if 18C early got a 0.3 downtier.
It will be great plane to play at 12.7 after BR changes.
since, not overall 😆
Ive been playing this game for 9 years, 18C early got added march last year(?) in Hornet sting update.
True, but I’m saying that some are just outclassed. What advantage does the Tornado have? To my understanding, only that it has speed and a bunch of chaff, but its turn rate is frankly atrocious.
You misunderstand. “I have to work 10x harder” doesn’t mean “I give up” if that makes sense. If I have to sweat, micromanage my speed, and perfectly execute a notch just to survive a single missile, while the enemy just points their crosshair at me and clicks, I wouldn’t say that’s a fair fight. I guess you could say I just picked a bad class or a bad comparison, after all I play strike aircraft in a fighter meta…
Its fast, ground strike plane.
It will never be able to go toe to toe with fighters of its BR.
It was never designed to do so.
People cant really compare aircraft outside of its intended role and BR and go on and say “its bad”.
Strike aircrafts are fun in NE, ive been playing lot of SLE tornado myself. But thats beside the point.
Im not arguing with you over BR placement of ground strike tornados.
Im arguing with Hitthunder over BR placement of 18C early, which can compete in fighter meta, and that he clearly doesnt know how to use it.
Oh man I can’t wait to have the Swiss F/A-18C it’s so cool! I just hope it lives up to the hype. Even with decompression it shouldn’t get uptiered too much right?
RIP the HKP9A (FC). Apparently having gen 1 thermals but no flares or rockets and fewer missiles is enough to put it at 10.0 now…
So the Left side of Russia like T72B 1989 and T90 will stay this same BR?
Bit of a shameless self plug but give this a read. I will be updating it in light of sparrow buff (and now due to BR chnages i have to rework the update again) but you should find some tips and tricks there to help you.
After BR chnages, full uptier will now mean MK2/MKK (or 13.7 planes in general) should be limited to 4 planes per team, which is entirely managable as premium hornets sensors are currently 14.0 material at 12.7. i think out of all SARH planes, only F-2A ADTW has better radar but i still like hornet more due to 7Ps.
You oughta have some fun as long as you keep your speed and alt.
Ohhhh, that explains it thanks
The M26 absolutely should go down in BR, superior variants like the M26E1, T26E1-1 and T26E5 are at the same BR basically making the regular M26 pointless. Additionally it isn’t a match for other 6.7 vehicles like the Tiger 2 or even the T44 since it is slow like a heavy tank without having the firepower and armor of one. Also got asked for many times and seemingly ignored sadly.
How about the next 2 BR changes also go towards this effort, this is amazing to see but there are still somewhat iffy spots for various trees.
I think what was done with Ground is absolutely perfect though. Multiple steps up for decompression is going to do absolute wonders.
