Obviously you press no
The question is the AMRAAMS is tooooo early for the WT, they got to change the map. Also, the performance of the AMRAAMS would need to be consider, such as PL-12 is able to fight with 120c, and bring this missile to fight with 120a and r77 is a terrible idea
Early AMRAAM will be okay in a few months but I suspect that gaijin will nerf the PL-12 and Derby when they get added to be on the same level as AMRAAM
Also, the Wt need a plenty of the differnent kind of ai to enhance the Air battle/ BVR experience, such as EAWS,…The current top tier air battle is just a WW2 combat but with advanced missile- Everyone was stick on the ground…
It will bring the question for future, becaucse PLAAF always use pl12 until they got pl15…
Gaijin will probably introduce PL-12 performing similar to AIM-120A and as time passes they will buff it to become closer to IRL
there is aim120a/b/c, and r77m, but pl12a performance just like aim120c7…
What… why?
Do you know the AIM-120B and R-77 are more or less on par with our current top tier BVR missiles in terms of range?
We won’t need new maps. The only flip side is that they won’t need constant lock.
Range yes but don’t forget that standoff is much different. With AIM-7F you need to guide all the way to target but with AIM-120 you fire and once missile is close enough you turn around and run away
F-15A was flareless tho
Early models yes however they recieved flares down the line
When we get good fox 3 missiles, i would like to see less people per battle, as of now it’s ~16vs16, i think it would be better to have 10vs10, 7vs7, or have actually EC battles.
But the current top tier is little be boring, everyone just have a huge team fight and then everything is end, Nobody is really playing a BVR, and I don’t think ARMAAMS
Map sizes are okay if gaijin split the airfields into two so you have two or more groups of aircraft rather than a single furball

That doesn’t affect the need for larger maps as the original concern was posed. But as for that, it’s something we’ll have to adapt to and allow the balance standard to change once again.

I agree, gaijin should divide the spawn point into 2 or 3

Yeah, this is something I liked about a fair few of the lower tier maps, having a couple bases for each side so you dont always have to RTB to a known spot/can fight from different angles a bit more.
So, didn’t the block 50 get HMD? I don’t see it mentioned in the blog
Current map is big enough, but adding some ai would make top tier more interesting
The Derby shouldn’t be coming to the game at this point, Israel never used it, it was designed based off the Python 4 to effectively be 80% as effective as the AMRAAM but at a 1/3 the cost, Israel export it to nations with smaller military budgets however Israel themselves use the AMRAAM as it’s more effective and they have a very large military budget
