While it is true as some pointed here that there is much to be done regarding individual player skill and learning curve, it’s also true that WT requires of the average player much better situational awareness than a single person can realistically achieve, especially when we include the cognitive load induced by having to monitor certain parameters (fuel, flare count, and abundance of micro-management options).
The average player will perform, individually, much better, i.e. make fewer common mistakes, if matches are simply reduced in size to, say, a more manageable 10v10.
Really?
This is honestly like a get gud situation as much as I hate to be that person.
I have people avoiding my 9Ms with literally a single flare. A SINGLE flare.
Everyone complains about how great they are but the IRCCM isn’t as potent as anyone makes it out to be.
Wanna complain about something? Complain about the R-27.
Only americans have the smokeless (vv low smoke) 9M, the other low smoke motors arent modelled or are intentionally given more smoke (eg roland) for ‘balance’ bs
uhm… no.
- Japs have reduced smoke AAM-3’s (arguably better than 9M, pulls more, better seeker gimbal, better track rate)
- UK/Sweden/Italy have AIM-9M/RB74(M) on their Gripens
- Isreal has AIM-9M on Barak II
The only nations that DONT have reduced smoke are Germany, France, Russia, and China, there are more nations with low smoke motor missiles on top jets than without, and all nations without have either R-73’s (GER/RU/CN) or Magic II (FR)
The Americans also have a missile that should have low smoke but doesn’t (AIM-54C) despite being very well bug reported, and approved for over 1y.

Yeah but 9M and apparently AAM-3 are the only missiles with low or no smoke modeled.
Others are in game eg phoenix.
But low smoke isn’t modeled.
Roland smoke trails are obnoxious and shouldn’t be like that smh.
Sure, but thats largely irrelevant to air battles, and also technically effects the americans, who also have the roland as an AA system…
The ADATS is ALSO missing low smoke btw.
Edit: ADATS, Roland, and VT1/Crotale NG missiles missing reduced smoke motors?
