So the Soviet tree now has the best SPAA and ASM

The AV-8B isn’t in the US tree so doesn’t exist and so isn’t currently an option, the only Harriers in the US tree are at 9.7 so it would actually be dragging them up.

And anyway the very rare 11.7 downtier to 10.7 can be advantageous since you can only see at most 4x Pantsirs at a time.

You were specifically talking about AV-8B not 9.7 harriers you know this

No, actually I was talking about getting a functional(access to a Targeting pod / Laser designator) Strike Airframe for the 10.0~11.7(Technically could go as low as 8.7~11.7 with the B-57G Tropic Moon III, or OV-10) gap, in the Tech tree. As currently The US entirely lacks Tech tree options below 12.0 for unknown reasons (its totally not to force sales of an overpriced premium, still waiting on its tech tree counterpart, that was promised) even though there a number of options that would only need to be refit with already implemented stores.

I can’t wait for the eventual F-111D / -E / -F to inexpiably also be 12.0.

So please point out to me which line it’s in? Its not in the Attacker / Strike line, like I would expect. Nor the Bomber line, so where is it located?

SPAA does not counter Air and hasn’t for a long time.

Gaijin wants you to take up a plane. Ground Realistic becomes Air Realistic after 1 minute of game time.

A we still don’t get any rewards for intercepting missiles and ordinance, and players wonder why nobody plays SPAA

for at least the US, i dont think they have any short range air defense more than a stinger. they could always give us anti radiation missiles.

Could it also carry the LRASM and the JASSM or would the come to the f16c

And can you stfu as well it’s not even bullshit it’s one of the most oppressive cas in game

Good luck droping those GBU’s with a what will likely be 11.0 / 11.3 slow going bomb airliner.

Considering they are GPS guided glide bombs (potentially with a SALH terminal seeker, with the -39B/B) that isn’t so much an issue since altitude can be traded for range and their glide ratio is easily ~1:20 or greater and so even a release as low as 1 km of altitude they can reach out to 20km, which outranges all currently implemented SAM systems.

And the fact that the Targeting pod can be used to generate GPS coordinates, and perform terminal guidance as needed means that static positions are going to be very risky, and with up to 16 of them you will have the advantage in terms of magazine depth (up to 16x of them) so can exhaust them all as well, even if they manage to successfully intercept them all.

Nothing but be fodder for Glorious Russian technological superiority, Komrade.

Yeah, it’s bogus. Just another tack on the board proving Russian Bias.

Cute flag, btw. Does nothing to disprove me.

Huh?

Not at all.

the A-4E isn’t even that hard to combat… Most nations have something to counter it. Also doesn’t have insanely overpowered AA players on their side to prevent them from being touched… It is very different.

The only solution without breaking the game is probably just adding a ground only mode

We are just going to ignore insane Swedish and German top tier winrates then huh ?

Russia has had 60-80% winrates for years, last time Germany had a winrate higher than 50% was 2020 for about 2-3 months until their new Leopard got nerfed…

It can also carry 92 guided rockets (the same as on the Apaches)

Oh, you mean the only recent ones?

That are only temporary?

That only last until the stuff is nerfed or Russia gets buffed and/or new toys and/or features? Those W/R?
