in 2 days the F-14s will be 1.3 BRs higher than the WTD61. You can stop complaining then. But this is a skill issue. Plain and simple. Because it is one of the best aircraft in game to counter the F-14s. They arent even a threat if you use 1 brain cell.
I wonder what you will complain about next though?
I don’t want to waste a match to counter F-14’s. The only reason I play air rb is to bomb bases. Its not a fun game mode, its just a grinding ‘tool’ for me. Its not too much to ask for a safe zone above the ground. Everyone who wants to dogfight or to do ground stuff can fly low. Everyone who likes this BVR bollux might climb up and spacebar at green brackets 50km away or whatever.
I just want to take off, bomb, somehow die without crew lock, join next match, bomb … etc. F-14 are just killing this routine, since you won’t make it to your base.
Its good to know this idiot plane gets bumped to 12.7. This should tackle the issue.
We will see. I bought this WTD as grinder plane. All I demand is that it works. When I would have aimed for PvP, I would have bought fighter planes with more than just two missiles.
I don’t want to win. I wan’t to grind bases (I mostly do it for these rb special tasks). I don’t care for match outcomes. Its PTG (pay to grind). You can win if you need that, all I wan’t are 1-2 bases per match.
But you want to have an aircraft that can outrun anything to a base and get to the base whilst ignoring the entire enemy team. You want to be completely immune to anyone and everyone else in game. That is P2W.
Before Phoenixes got buffed (multipath nerf etc.) this usually worked. Except for some edge cases. But you already told me about the BR bumps, so everyting will be fine again.
Hopefully though, with this BR increase, MP will be totally removed. Its a stupid, ahistorical mechanic designed to give low skilled players a defence against easily defeated missiles.
Though would laugh my ass off if the WTD61 now gets raised to 11.7 because it was being to effecient in ARB as a base bomber (it is better than the Tornado Gr1 at 11.7, so not beyond the realm of possiblity)
The fact people still complain about the AIM-54 when its never been a good missile in-game, remains comically nerfed, and there are vastly superior missiles in-game that now exist is WILD.
The AIM-54 is just about only good to kill oblivious players who actively fly into the thing.
This is what years of gaijin handholding the player-base with horrid game decision such as excessive multipath and the likes does to a community.
It was introduced in the middle of the massive radar nerf (aka: The Dark Times), during which every radar missile had significantly inferior seekers than currently seen due to gaijins attempt at pandering to players complaining about the AIM-7F a while earlier. It was not a good missile on release, and has never been a good missile. If a player had a modicum of knowledge about radar missile combat, or eyeballs, its always been practically impossible to be hit by, even to this day, when its technically at its “best” in-game…
Base bombing with the Tornado GR1 (higher BR than the WTD61) easy and chill, all it takes is a minimal amount of route planning and you don’t get bothered by anyone most of the time.
I dunno, some say that they decreased this multipath height cuz some IRCCM meta me flying F111F, I rarely encounter them such as AIM9M (and I, I suppose, get used to deal with Matra Magics, maybe)
But at 11.7 every1 just dies from AIM7F, R24R and R27ER, just some Mexican standoff from mid distance until 1 team is “depleted”, plus of course dudes who die from AIM54 and Fakour
After 100 matches I died only 1-2 times cuz of Fakour or Phoenix, cuz after all they fly big distances, they have bad G pull, cuz of distance they are less accurate by default I suppose
Could some1 tho explain me how the hell this dude managed to even lock onto me when I was flying low, dispensing chaff? Yes, I wasn’t doing any manevuers cuz I honestly didn’t believe that he’ll be able to lock onto me when I fly within the hills (plus at least on this plane RWR also shows allies’ missile launching so yeah)
The main question is how to even evade locking whatsoever? Pre chaff doesn’t work to me in these front hemisphere situations 22.5 MB file on MEGA (that’s th e video)
