At the Current state of Air Rb, Top tier is almost unplayable or the most annoying to play nowadays. you have Planes at 12.0 going against Planes with fox 3s. you have planes at 10.0 completely unchanged and dominating the scene. Some planes are at 13.3 while better versions are at 13.0?? the Decompression more or less made top tier so annoying. You either have Fox 3’s or you don’t. You either have a massive map with f14’s or you don’t. the balancing is so far wonky at this point. im at a loss for words.
Tell me (in your opinion) what are your thoughts on top tier Air RB at this moment? are you a fan? are you a missile spammer? are you avoiding it until they add another BR like 14.3-15.0?
Nothing wrong with it my opinion. Wouldn’t say no to a few buffs here or there like fixing BOL, but this is the first time in a long time the gamemode feels more balanced. No more all-aspects making 9.3s unplayable. I can jump into 11.0s and not face a constant wall of 4th gen air superiority fighters and ARH slingers are well placed.
Only change I’d make is smaller team sizes
Way before Fox-3s, i thought 16v16 would’ve been somewhat feasible even for the ARH meta, but i was wrong. The change should be 12v12 with a radical 8v8 at the special option for smaller games, though with a safelock of deactivating said matchmaker for squads, as it might turn into a ‘competitive’ mode rapidly. Considering smaller games, having up to 50% of the team completely coordinated increases your chance of winning considerably.
Besides that core problem, the only plane that i consider completely out of any balancing measure right now is the F8U-2, as it should be at least 10.3, having its wing rip issue solved AND decompression at the same patch was a colossal buff that placed it in a VERY good spot, and for the same reason it’s being spammed.
I think its missing diversity in planes, like you cant do much if everyone is playin F14a/b, or F16c, or F15…
But again when you make only one nation super meta you get super bornig same games.
Currently you have two options:
- less fuel, go high really fast, spam missles, return, refuel and go agian
- bring more fuel, evade all radar missles that exist in first 5-7min, hope theres an enemy left thats close to you, try to kill him
or try anything else and just be free kill for like 50 radar missels comming at you in begining of the match.
depuis l arrivé des FOX3 le jeu haut BR n a plus aucun interet. le jeu pu de plus en plus. t es en 11.3 tu te tapes tous ces con… avec leurs F14 qui te bute a 30km
