Stock grinding needs updates its almost impossible

its literally impossible to stock grind now a days your forced to bomb as you have 4 total missiles 2 IR and 2 FOX-3s and bombing makes you a free kill to literally anyone high ALT everything 13.7 and higher should receive more missiles for example the GE starts with 2 AIM-120Ds stock theres no reason not to give it a full load of AIM-120A/B missiles or even a full load of C-5s

should gaijin update stock grinding giving players a full load of early FOX-3s ?

Considering the stock grind was already bad enough before 120s etc were added, yes. And forbid I mention heli stock grind as it is even worse.

i mean you could do this for all vehicles just give them a set of earliest weapons

Stock Grind and bad are synonyms i think

I think it would be better for then to just give us stock chaff. It would make the stock grind much more easier. Didn’t they also add a thing that will change your BR if you bring specific weapons? So maybe if your limited to a specific amount of missile they can lower your BR. More missile = higher BR.

The stock grind is purposefully bad. The cruelty is the point… or to get people to spend GE/$$$… most likely both.

lol. I’m going to start saying “That’s such a stock grind!” when I dislike something.

Very fair. The stock grind also misleads many into thinking there is a lore to WT. so far the only official lore is from a article posted on the wiki a few days ago

Yeah. Fair. There is no serious lore. Nations don’t generally introduce incomplete vehicles. It did get a little better when they started giving us two Fox-3s at top tier. Before that it was literally the worst. It’s still the worst, just a little less so.

I think the discernment between intention and execution is a real issue here. Gaijin’s intentions are clear and i can understand why aircraft have to be spaded/stock, however at the moment it feels ridiculously harsh and at times nonesensical. Minor changes alone would make it feel so much better, stock chaff at a bare minimum is a must. from the perspective of aircraft, some aircraft desperately need updates as to what armaments they get stock, and walling them behind tier 3 and 4 removes motivation entirely to grind it out. Nuclear thunder helps with this as it narrows the differences on the deck, but with part prices so expensive to GE, and some aircraft having abysmally poor stock configurations and performance differences, many aircraft are left unenjoyed for what they can offer.
