hey wont complain, for me its the later the HU comes the better
I’m not denying any problems at higher tiers! Darnit! But feel like most of the games problems are at tier 2 - 4 as of now (), The non-existence of capable SPAA platforms for the:
The United States of America
Desperately needs something else than the M16s and M19s.
Germany / West & East Germany
Could use some, just here and there I guess
The Russian Republic / USSR
Mostly fixed now, though the new SPAAs are kind of Cancer to fight with tanks.
Great Britain / British Commonwealth
Same as Germany, not that much of a Cancer to fight with tanks.
Japan / Empire of Japan
Needs more options, like the USA.
China / Republic of China
Desperately needs more SPAAs, Again like the USA.
Italy / Fascist Italy
In the same situation as the USA, Japan, China.
France / Vichy France
Doing okay like Germany & Britain as of now.
The kingdom of Sweden
Desperately needs more competent SPAAs, its current situation is quite tragic. Only low velocity 40 mm cannons up to the VEAK 40.
(I know most due to maining it, but not exclusively playing it.)
(The low velocity of the Lvakan 48s 40mm ammunition have been reported with solid evidence to not be 840~ m/s but instead like the normal Bofors L70s ammunition of 1005~ m/s)
At BRs below ~5.0 - you will easily be more efficient with commander 50cal’s (especially if you have keybinds to separate them from the main gun) than with any SPAA. And above ~5.0, there’s usually decent SPAA.
Sweden’s Bkan 1C can honestly be used as an SPAA at least up to 8.0.
Sorry to sound salty ive just had this frustration with the game for a while.
Okay what about Germany, Britain, Japan, Russia or any other country that doesent have a 50. cal on the roof or that cant aim higher than 35 degrees?
True for the following nations:
Germany / West & East Germany
The Russian Republic / USSR
Great Britain / British Commonwealth
Japan / Empire of Japan
Italy / Fascist Italy
France / Vichy France
But what do you do when there is more than 4 planes strafing your team and they kill that single SPAA you had, you dont have enough points for a fighter. What now? Welcome to most nations.
Okay you died by an aircraft dropping a bomb that dove at 90- degrees at you. Now what, again you dont have enough points for a fighter. Besides that im not using the limited 10 shells just to drive to the cap point to die by a tank because i wasted all my ammunition on planes.
Again sorry for the attitude but have to realise how that sounds with match logic.
I’m just speaking from experience.
Germany, Britain and Japan have fairly decent SPAA and Russia has its 12.7mm DShk which is AMAZING at killing planes.
I would say that the biggest problem is that they’re just not releasing enough SPAA for people to fill their lineups with.
That i can agree with.
From my experience. Sweden needs a SPAA that doesn’t run out of ammo like the Lvkv 42, but the Lvkv 43 that was actually in service just got skipped. We could get the Tridon… hopefully… And Sweden has the Lvakan 48 that is modelled very weirdly. Fire rate that is accurate but ammunition that is inaccurate. Seriously all we have is the Lvkv 42 with 840 m/s should be 1005 m/s like the other Bofors L70s
The USA just needs better SPAAs that isnt a 50. cal that felt illegal to say but eh. Russia, britain, france, Israel, etc. needs more options than either a duster or a Russian autocannon from hell.
Not exactly top or bottom tier, but, the TP52 British Electric Canberra radar test bed.
Ooh fancy Canberra with a big schnoz
Swedish De Havilland Mosquito. Designation J30
(Night fighter)
Maybe radar?
Bulbous shnoz
Swedish Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIX.
Edit: designation S31
Ooh a high end prop that is not 4.3-7 for sweden
Swedish De Havilland Venom. Designation J33.
Night fighter
AAM capable?
I don’t believe, however, not all of these could be “playable” vehicles, simply because of no guns or AAM, but could be added as AI planes.
More aircraft variants, like the J35J draken and AJSH37 viggen, possibly added as foldered vehicles or squadron. (As this would allow for more full variety to choose from in a line-up for ground RB or Air SB.)
Swedish Consolidated Catalina. Designation TP47.
I would love a late viggen with fox 3s and 9Ms (if the gripen can have them why not a viggen in service at the same time)
Probably “balancing purposes”
