Have watched the trailer, both dev streams, and then both dev streams again with TEC commentary. As always, a wonderful job with the trailer. But a common trend for me these days, is that the things that I most appreciate in a patch is often featured minimally in the trailer or not at all. These top-tier jets make good trailer bait, and I’m happy for those who have been waiting for these and actually enjoy playing top-tier air, but I just can’t get into it. Granted, over 70% of my games are in ground and I think ground battles are the heart and soul of this game since they were added in 2014, but I do enjoy some air battles. Spent the recent event having a blast in the Ayit/Shahak/Nesher and unlocked Barrak II courtesy of that (I’ve also got the J-11A but have hardly used it at all - maybe one game). Now my K/D quickly blew out as you don’t have any chaff when stock and I had to get used to using the Derby. But I’m starting to unlock modules and am getting some kills on the board and if I keep using it I’ll quickly fix my K/D in it - however, I’m just not getting any satisfaction out of top-tier air. Getting kills with FOX-3 is meh, spending your battles avoiding FOX-3 is meh, and all it is making me want to do is go enjoy more Ayit/Shahak/Nesher. These jets look absolutely fantastic in the trailers but then you actually have to find some enjoyment using them.
So with the above said - apart from the sexy M44/Rodney/PZ2000 - bring on GB getting a Strela for its 10.3 ground line-up. Holy stacked line-up, batman. Vickers Mk.7, Chall Mk.3, with Strela? Lovin’ it. I guess that is one of the things I love about War Thunder, it’s not about getting to top-tier and just staying there. It caters for all people with interests in any era from pre-war to modern, and I’m all here for it.
HA no. The F4 is to the Eurofighter what the Mig 9 is to the Mig29. The eurofighter is a very capapble aircraft that gives germany finaly something that can compete. and now US mains must realise that they actually need skill to compete and cant just be carried by overpowered aircraft all the time
I think all EF players are ready for it. Where where your complaints as A10 with AIM-9Ls wrecked havoc vs early jets which don’t even had flares. Sometimes I guess most of the player base is just concerned when its about non US or maybe RUS tech.
Still remember the healldeath Phoenix spam which obliterated the whole enemy team shortly after takeoff. Thank god this was nerfed. But yeah…US mains enjoyed it. No concerns. But they always agitate against any other nation which might get advanced tech before they do.
Now we get a nerfed EF without is main weapons and without it RL flight capabilities. Imagine Gajin would have said that they introduce F-16 with nerfed flight model… This would have been inacceptable.
Or maybe some people actively care about balance over all aside this childish idea of “it’s MY nations turn to make everything else miserable to use for 3 months”
The a10a with 9L’s was an absolute disaster for the health of 10.7-7.3 now with the mig15’s and sabres going down and should never have been added like it was
A 100+G literally unflarable missile with what in wt’s current state would be a hefty range is not currently balanced in any way, shape, or form, and the only arguments for it is “historical accuracy” (Gaijin does not care on this front as they will continue to make up loadouts for whatever balance suits them), and “mom said it’s my turn to roflstomp everything” (Terrible mindset for the health of the game"
The EF is certainly not the only plane missing highly advanced IRL loadouts either, yet I have never seen anyone here arguing for the IRIS-T campaigning for those because it wasn’t “Their nation”
It’s on the same vein as people begging for the aim9X on their F15 and I will ignore it as such
There is no IF , you literally have a video to remind you it is that good in BFM XD . As for the rest of the question you know the answer , BFM is only part of the equation .
This is not a nation v nation things. Adding these new weapons would make everything below top tier unplayable, including the German planes that are already suffering.
Why are you promoting the childish idea of “my nation suffered, so now it is my right to be brokenly op?”
