Honestly, that would be amazing, especially with the upcoming CAS SP cost changes.
Imo, in a perfect world, Gajin would fix all the bug reports (resulting in massive buff to F-106A) and then move it up to 9.7 or 10.0.
Sadly, what really gonna happen is Gajin’s just gonna ignore the bug reports, as they always do, and move the F-106A to 10.3 and letting it fall in to obscurity, before forgetting about it and never touching it again.
You should have kept it and waited lol, only yourself to blame
It would never have sold much better. If it ever does well fine, but I’d be very surprised.
Also, I sense you took my comment WAY too seriously with your “lol only your self to blame.” I shouldn’t have to put a big “this comment was not completely serious” disclaimer for you to astutely discern when someone is intentionally making more of something than they actually feel just for fun.
I wouldn’t say the plane itself was overhyped, the only thing that was oversold was the capabilities of the AIM-4 missiles but I would blame that on gaijin when they put mach 3 + 27G of pull in the stat card and mislead a lot of people that ignore the historical background, especially youtubers, when they very well know that something like mach 1,5 + 14 Gs of pull would be a lot more accurate to the typical warthunder experience (expected parameters for max speed launch in sea level - ingame can’t even do that).
But I think the low price has more to do with just how popular this plane turned out to be, a LOT more people got it compared to some past events (since the iranian F-14 at least, and that was sold on it’s OP practically fantasy missiles), driving down the prices, but to be fair it’s been a while since a brand new airplane model is introduced in an event.
And leaving aside the half baked implementation, the 3d model for the exterior and the cockpit is very well done.
This is probably a joke, but if it’s not, learn what supply and demand is.
??? Now, I’m sure you were joking before since I’ve read the rest of this comment, but how do you know realize what supply and demand is, and therefore, that the price rises as the vehicle gets further from its event?
People said this about Leo 2AV too.
meh 50.
I’m surprised nobody had said anything about the obviously wrong drag chute deployment speed.
And here’s gameplay footage from someone who can use this plane ingame much better than me www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbPRCpv5mjM&list=RDQbPRCpv5mjM
Complete with the tradition of using infrared aim-4s for ground attack like f-102s in vietnam.
timestamp for the ground kill?
It’s not actually a ground kill (i.e. killing a ground unit), it’s killing planes on the ground (like at 0:40 or 7:20 on the video). Just a tongue in cheek joke.
I see. I was very curious because I was sure the game doesn’t let IR missile seekers register ground object heat as a legitimate source. I really wanted to see that lol… that would have opened up a can of worms…
It’s honestly kinda disappointing that we can’t, especially considering A2G missiles (e.g the maverick) can lock both ground and air, so clearly the functionality is in the game.
Good point.
