At 1.3km away and 600m away, there isn’t enough movement for most vehicles ingame to get away from the missile.
Plus, not sure how it’s a nerf when in the future you’ll be able to fire the AASM without getting close or without needing to visually acquire them since the AASM can automatically find targets for you in a predetermined area.
I didn’t experience a big problem with hammers and i don’t think they need to be nerfed so much. Much bigger problem are Kh-38MT and LMUR on top tier, which are both on russian side surprisengly (no) and they are killing everything and they need a nerf much more then Hammers…
Having the same outcome doesnt make them the same thing.
But thats not what your argument was
You claimed Rafales popularity is partially based on fiction. A overperforming seeker on an A2G weapon is hardly responsible for a higher playrate in Air RB. So Favoritism yes, fiction not so much.
My guess is if they want to drag and drop a spanish F-18 they will give it to Italy eventually, maybe in squad or event rarity, since they just received the 29 Sniper.
But the way to achieve it is different and matters despite the similar outcome.
I know that you did not, because you dont care about objective data, you care about being right. If you cared about data you would have seen that France ground popularity did not rise let alone in the same way Rafales popularity did which shows that the absolute majority of Rafales popularity growth is Air. Just look at the playrate growth difference between the Leclercs and the Rafale from July to August, its insane.
Usa mains still dreaming about better and better spa. Now as I see, 80% of players with CLAWS are spamming at me 120c when I fly at tree level. In that case, even patriot won’t help you :D
