Some planes are just crash happy, because they are massive, have low control authority and have no altitude privileges, such as the f-4, su27, f-111 and f14a/f14b at some point in certain matches. They will very likely crash at some point because it’s their nature and you mostly play against your own luck rather than your skill and your plane’s performance. If you’re in an f-4e with short range sparrows and are competing against something like a mig23ml or an f-4s you have to stay low and force them to waste all their radar missiles in order to head them on with a sparrow if they fly high or in riskier occasions, kill them head on with an aim9j or tangle up in a dogfight.
Same nature for su27sm, you’re limited to melee fighting with r77s and you have to fly low and launch missiles upwards while you’re trying to defeat micas. You will eventually crash. It’s either the tree, the terrain or the missile. What’s more enraging is that you may have done your thing, killed two dudes and reached past the middle of the map, you crash and still the slimey gasteropod will scourge you with 5 minutes. Crashing after eight minutes is NOT LEAVING A MAP BECAUSE I DON’T LIKE IT.
Second this! The “punish players” attitude Gaijin has, I think has reached its use-by date.
I never understood this punishment. Players who deliberately team-kill their team mates on takeoff go unpunished, but if you accidentally crash your own plane, you get punished? Makes no sense.
right as i came from the sixth match I crash
Plane: Of course, da fokken su-27sm.
Multipath abusers should be punished severely.
They need to add birds, power lines and other stuff.
multipath abusers
It’s now the 7th time in a row i crash, but apparently there’s something going on because a lot of people is crashing too, must be a bug with the servers or somethign that the planes are literally getting pulled down.
Gaijin, if you’re going to punish us, at least fix the god damn game.
must be a skill issue of skill-less players.
le me when in my air superiority fighter gets outplayed by inferior aircraft sitting at the same br because i keep dying to them despite how bad these are because they’re somehow played by better players
Well as the company wants to make the gaming experience as horrible as possible and designs it to be like that, and then wants to sell you the solution to a problem they engineered and programmed into the game at the very start.
Are you surprised that they actually care nothing for their player base ?
Bird strikes?
yeah.
Theres no luck involved, your turn rate is fixed. If you get into a steep dive and pull out too late then thats on you, not ‘luck’
“crash happy” sounds like skill issue tbh
players who tk on takeoff are punished (they lose SL and if they have prem they lose prem insurance)?
fly higher
You mean, people who know how to play the game?
On the other hand, that would be fun to watch…
That does sound like a skill issue, to be fair.
Brainless.
Then it should be no problem for you to counter, no?
Sure thing. As soon as they fix tree hitboxes and trees being fuckn 50m tall
Ah yes, doing BVR in my f16a with no radar missiles.
