32 players would probably be fine if the map wasn’t soooo small
i am getting quite a lot of “small lobbies” since the update dropped. Did gaijin change algorithm? Before you could barely get one.
Do you have the smaller lobby option switched on?
I never get any even with the option on, like, I even forgot it existed for how few I saw…
yep, it is on. I got around 5 or 6 matches for the past 2 days with small team size
Didn’t find anything about it on Gszabi’s datamines, I guess it was just luck then.
i am still pretty far away, don’t have a lot of time with job, family and other games

nah, i don’t think they will. Probably gonna use them as a starting platform for next gen missiles with BR increase in the future
Yeah well with rank IX confirmed it could be an option.
all december additions will probably get moved to rank 9. Not all will get BR increase (looking at you, Gripen E) but next rank for sure
Getting the talisman for the Su-34 wasn’t a bad choice afterall, it should be a pretty good grinder for rank IX’s
haven’t touched Su-34 at all, saving it for more decompression. Should be pretty fun without having to constantly face Rafale and such

Bigger issue is that F-22 wont help at all, it has comically low payload for top tier, its radar even though probably best possible aesa, is not gimbaled, you dont have HMD and you STILL sit at 120s.
It brings nothing to the table, stealth? EFs aesa allegedly detected F-35 at 60km or so irl.
So you aint getting close undetected. What it will be, is insanely quick amraam BVR slinger that cant support own missiles in notch. Same deal will be F-35. Game lacks too many features, large maps, electronic warfare and actual missile performance.
Currently, it promotes flight performance of gen 4 airframes with gen 5 avionics. Gen 5 planes besides maybe Su-57 as it gets sideways looking aesa arrays, will be mostly trash unless they make stealth actually work.
We need indepth gameplay changes, more deadly missiles where you simply CANT rely on sitting in notch and supporting your missiles till the impact and larger maps with half the team sizes.
As far as I know they started to integrate HMD with new upgrade package which is more than enough for Gaijin.
Just because you can detect something at certain range doesn’t mean you can automatically track ot engage with them.
Aside from that without EW suites,fixing 120’s performance and changing gameplay styles F22 will bring nothing special to the table like you said.
My next guess is that they will add F15EX with 16-20 missile configuration with next couple uptades.

does anyone know if the AL41’s fuel consumption is accurate? sometimes it feels like it burns way more than a Su27SM
Apparently not, there’s a report up for it for the Flanker family, SM2 included:
