Why is there still no stock chaff? Stock grinding without chaff is nearly impossible due to ARH spam, and multipathing is not reliable that much. A change in this aspect is very much needed.

I’d go even farther and say that all aircraft need their best A2A loadout stock, as well as new boosters, and the g-suit stock too.

Id rather have higher rp/sl cost to get a new vehicle and get rid of the whole stock grind cancer too

IMO it’s criminal, the way the stock grinds are at top rank currently. Lack of absolutely EVERYTHING that makes a plane what it is at top rank is just purely unplayable. Having to grind through bad/useless armaments is also completely unneeded. Aircraft should get customizable CM loads stock, G suits should come on EVERY aircraft even outside of top tier while stock, and missile armaments should be at their greatest potential while stock.

The last time we had this thread we had some people arguing that “game is meant to be grindy/hard” as a justification for not being able to do anything until you have chaff unlocked… it’s frankly a ridiculous stance to take. Stock chaff should absolutely exist once you are rank 7+

Same, I’d rather grind longer with spaded vehicles than grind shorter times but be suffering the entire time.
Much like stock heat, no chaff is just snailnomics 101.

+1 chaff should be stock for everything like 11.3+
I agree 100%. It makes no sense apart that they want you to GE it. Still, chaff is not a nice to have at high tiers, it’s mandatory.
Today I unlocked the Mig 29. 12.7 BR. NO STOCK CHAFF. I get matches where people have AIM-7F, AIM-7M and like you said all the AHR missiles coming from above. All these are radar missiles, and you need to pre chaff + notch just to have a chance to survive. You just die and there’s nothing you can do.
I suggest you post a topic in the suggestion forum because here, it just won’t be passed to Gaijin at all:

Why is this not already a feauture? 14.0 aircraft with no chaff stock in air rb is ridiculous. Tier 8 aircraft need to have chaff stock, or at least set 50/50 countermeasures with the ability to unlock the full slider like usual. Having no chaff at these higher brs is practically unplayable. We managed to get improved parts & fpe from having none stock, so why not this? Please add this as a feature gaijin.

And full missile loadouts, since that defines their br.
Whats the point of a vehicle being 14.7 when its loadout isnt even 13.7 worthy?

Just say you want everything already unlocked and call it a day.

Slurping gaijin hard with this reply acting like chaff+missiles aren’t mandatory for any degree of fun or success in rank 8+. Can’t wait until you defend the multi million dollar company making the game miserable because “but sniffle they have to sobs make money!!!”

No, not that.
Just a full missile loadout and chaff.
Even with just 2 fox-3 missiles at 14.7, its not competitive.

Wasn’t that what a dev said on a live stream that caused the first players strike?
