It was also really only 4 specific rocket types:
FFAR/Hydra 70
S-8KO
CRV7 M247
SNEB
Other rockets you could take in this game instead all had pen over 25 mm so they weren’t bugged and didn’t accidentally do triple damage.
In the two matches did you ever return to base and rearm?
This is not a community that is going to change if you do that, literally it will be the same guys who strap a ton of bombs to their jets, rush to a base then turn to the enemy and try to get some kills.
It gives a unfair advantage to the jets that can do it.
no, it isn’t. They usually get higher BR than their counterparts as price.
Attacker aircraft usually have worse anti-air combat compared to fighters in the same battle rating thanks to ‘reward netting’ (which gaijin says it as ‘efficiency’)
A couple of months ago, Gaijin talked about that, in a news topic about splitting BR between Air/Ground mode… to defend themselves against ‘why the regular variant of Tornado IDS didn’t get BR buffed while MiG-27K got theirs’
Dassault Milan(9.7) has worse missile than T-2(9.7)
Tornado GR.1(11.7) is mediocre fighter compared to MiG-23ML(11.7)
also, F-111A Aardvark (10.7) or F-4C(10.7) are worse than F-104G(10.7) on air combat
but sharing the same BR because those attackers have chances to net more rewards in the ‘ideal level’
Of course, we can’t forget about B-29(7.3) which is nothing but just a big RP pinata that shares the same BR with one of the most powerful early jets in BR 7 brackets(F2H or Su-11 in 7.3BR can be an example)
Counter point take away the ability for the two to see eachother in the same game mode.
But then an entire class of Interceptors / Heavy Fighters becomes useless without its targets.
Every update requires careful wording to strike a balance. GAIJIN, you really don’t have to be so indirect every time. We all know that you think players who don’t spend money shouldn’t get profits, but who told you that your game is free? LOL
I gotta say I think the change wasn’t far enough especially in how it affects top tier. I was trying to spade the Hungarian SU-22 and it took me LONGER to spade that than it took me to research the entirety of the Gripen playing the MiG-29. This was due to the fact I was beat to the base 100% of the time by phantoms OR died to them whilst in route. Dying to them is fine, that’s the game, but almost NEVER having the chance to bomb IN A BOMBER because I’m outclassed as a bomber by a fighter is INCREDIBLY stupid.

When do they ever get higher BR for ground ordinance in air RB? Maybe for ground, sure.
I’ve never seen them raise an air BR because they gave it new ground weapons, only when they introduce new A2A weaponry.
Look at the harrier, it has a killer ground setup but the thing got its BR raised(in air) was the adding AMRAAMs.
Nah…
We can find a rare example from Tornado IDS.
We all know that Tornado IDS are decent attackers/bombers but also mediocre fighters thanks to awful maneuverability.
and we can sees that prem/event Tornado IDS(MFG/WTD61) are in 11.3BR while regular branch variants(IDS ASSTA/GR.1/IDS-1995) which are on 11.7BR on ARB.
(11.0 vs 11.3 before br decompression)
The difference between both types of Tornado IDS is only the ‘capability of using laser-guided bomb.’ Everything else is the same. Two BK27, two AIM-9L, and powered by RB199 engines.
But Gaijin kept them on different BRs for a long time. Tornado IDS enjoyer got into a rage about that when [Splitting BR between Air/Ground] came, but nothing has changed. while Soviet counterpart MiG-27 sisters, which had different BR[was 11.0/11.3 became 11.0/11.0 when BR Split now 11.3/11.3] thanks to better-guided ground ordnance. got buffed on the same patch because both were the same for anti-air and also were inferior MiG-23. (No radar and no SARH)
When those Tornado enjoyers got mad about discrimination compared to their soviet counterparts.
Gaijin just told them like "lol 0skillsbomber whining. You guys netting more RP and SL now compared to fighters on the same BR. We might need to nerf the reward of base destruction if you want BR buff. " but in a formal way.
They were still not moved up because they got new weapons, the reason the other vehicles stood lower is because of sales, they are(in gainjins eyes) kept at a artificially lower BR because they don’t have these weapons to keep sales high(otherwise they would be moved up because the others are doing so well according to “statistics”)
Them giving preferential treatment to Russian vehicles over NATO ones is a different issue all together.
use f111 problem solved
Sounds good.
Only one exception - tickets must be separated in 3 parts:
A2A;
Base bombing;
Ground targets.
So all 3 main types of aircraft (fighter/interceptor, bomber, attacker) can make their part for victory.
