And you make yourself an easy target for potential enemy planes.
Like don’t get me wrong the strat certainly works but if you compare it to a CAS run with the KH38MT or the Hammers it’s just much more of a hassle.
Sure if you exclusively do James strat the difference is small but the new Pantsir makes any other type of CAS run with slow AGMs borderline impossible.
Even with James strat mate they can still sometimes catch you out, purely due to how fast that damn missile is.
I’ve done it most recently with the Netz, and the only SPAA which has actually stopped me without fail multiple times is the new pantsir, IRIS T has caught me a couple times when I’ve made mistakes.
But the pantsir, can fire a missile which is somehow fast enough *and can pull enough Gs to catch you.
Which to me, seems to defy physics a bit there.
Whats even funnier about this whole situation, you know for a fact that I didn’t subscribe to “russian bias” but the longer and longer they leave the game in this crap state, the more blatant it is becoming man.
T80 reload buffs making T80U and all 11.7 variants far more deadly.
addition of the Lmurs correct lofting. Whilst no one gets the same. (I believe no one should have this but hey ho)
Addition of over performing LDRICM or whatever Dazzler is called.
BMPT being added at 10.7 and only rectification has been slight Br increases.
KH38MT still left in game.
finally, the Topic of the last comment, the Pantsir.
I cannot believe all of this has been happening in the past few months and nothing I mean nothing has been changed to address it.
EDIT : I also completely forgot the pain in the butt which is the SU30 premium at 13.3 and is catagorically under BRd.
BMPT and Pantsir SM SV in direct succession is truly one of Gaijins balancing masterpieces.
It’s really insane how every update is a completely unbalanced mess essentially since June last year and Gaijin just doesn’t give a damn.
I am seriously dreading this years updates especially if they really add 5th gen fighters, because those really need proper balancing but with the current attitude Gaijin has you just know that the SU-57 will curbstomp everyone else.
Out of 19 games over the past two days 4 of mine have been victories, the rest I have been facing Russia. Two of those victories were becuase Russia was magically not in those games. It’s like the sun came out and the birds started singing.
I am mentally drained at this point with this nation and am ready to take a break again even after being back for like less than a week. I am not even agitated anymore just dissapointed. A dang mess.
To be fair, what exactly was going on in 2019? Like oh no, the MiG 19 could do a quicker vertical loop! So broken! Meanwhile here we have a damn near indestructible vehicle that can somehow take shots like an alcoholic on a Specials Night.
Update 1.87 happened. That update added the 2A5 which was leagues ahead of the “competitors” that Gaijin added alongside it and the 2S6 was added as the only missile AA for 3 months.
Also later in the year the Ka-50 was added, kicking off that era.
I will admit 2019 wasn’t as wild as 2018 in terms of balance.
Even surely 5th gens aren’t comin this year christ, Though I suppose we’ve jumped from F16s - F15Es and FGR2s - typhoons in a shorter period than we went from the korean jets to coldwar.
this game is no where near ready for 5th gens at all man. Su57, F22, F35 etc etc not a one.
