Yea its pretty trash line, I have literally not researched a single AA vehicle in Israeli tree. I only really want the Machbet, but aint researching all that just for it.
Now that I am complaining, they should fix Merkava and Namer armour, its ludicrous how Namer is still at >64 tons yet armour is less than a light tanks.
That’s the point, plenty of times you won’t even have to deal with AAs due to terrain limitations and nature of SACLOS missiles. KH slingers aren’t hard to deal with on their own.
Drop down to cover ?
Our maps aren’t a plate where you have unobstructed LoS to the edge of the map.
I don’t think Stingers and Strela have nearly enough range to challenge 12.7 air.
But their mode of operation is much better, as breaking LoS with AAs on the ground is easier than it is to do the same thing but with fast approaching missile.
One of the reasons why we need ARH AAs.
No one does it, and when that rare opponent does, I can just counter their notch.
I never really noticed the range difference since I usually only use IR missiles while I’m significantly higher above them. It gives the missiles more energy and comes from a common blindspot.
I usually just pull out the Airbrake for it. My buddy has an F-16C and he loves to drag me into customs to use it. He’s seldom outperformed me in it. In live matches, I’ve also never ended up being beaten by an F-16 in a turnfight either.
Then put that into practice. My survival rate is extremely high in CAS. Hills do not exist in such quantity to be used as the basis of your gameplan in every match.
I don’t find helicopters hard to kill. Nearly all of them have to stay within line of sight to aim at you and they can’t move their helicopter much due to sight limitations.
If a jet passes over you, it’s dead. There are no missile warnings for IR missiles in Ground RB unless you have an MAW.
Yes that. Its not IR guidance but optical which work on contrast between targer and sky. Its absolutely unflarable. You can only try outmaneuver it or fly really low where photocontrast have problem recognize target. Disadvantages of this guidance also is that it doesnt work in bad weather or in night.
