I think we should make the game easier otherwise players who refuse to learn the skills required to play higher tiers won’t be able to have a good time
add markers for missiles and planes too
third person would also help
oh and mouse aim
True. You could even call it Realistic Battles Enduring Confrontation.
Better than the current crop of sim bums that only use the game mode for grinding or “zomber hunting”.

you’re right. better to keep iron dome. it makes it easier for newcomers.
we wouldn’t want any difficulty or skill floor now, would we?
It’s a Friday evening and this is what top tier looks like…
The only relatively populated lobbies are on flat maps that are easy to multipath on.
There was one Afghanistan match that was around 6v6 about 25 minutes ago. This is what it looks like after 2 sorties.
There is one other map that is active at top tier that isn’t super easy to multipath on; Rocky Canyon.
There are only 2 active players on one side. There are twice as many blue players in a single Denmark game then there are on both maps that have terrain. There are a grand total of 4 people that want to play large terrain oriented map where multipathing is not the norm on the blue side.
There are 135,000 people online right now so it is not like player counts are critically low. We are also in an Air event which usually boosts player numbers.
Where are all of these smart Air Sim BVR enjoyers at? This is probably the worst that I have seen top tier in over 2 years.
Also it should be noted that you have been advocating to keep Iron-Dome capability for ARH missiles…so why not? Keep iron dome and then turn the game mode into RB-EC…at least then people would play it.

Remove ability to create lobbies, have them dynamically created based on players ready in case the system cannot find a match for them.
Population problem solved.
And this has nothing to do with iron dome, don’t hijack the thread.
EDIT: turn off “show only available”. lmao.
Kfir C.10 players using their Derbys to shoot at other missiles?
I’ve never seen a C.10 player do that honestly, and if they do, holy skill issue, it’s better off shooting them at actual valuable targets hahaha.
Personally, I find it very annoying, I don’t play top-tier as much, but whenever I do, I damn sure play it with friends because I absolutely adore focusing, almost jumping Detroit-style on these mfs.
My mayor complaint with it is that both sides of the strategy are boring.
Getting a really good missile shot down is quite is annoying as fuck since that means all the effort you put not only in positioning but as well as energy management goes to the shitter because someone else decided to take the easier way out.
Shooting down missiles is also boring because you’re voluntarily choosing to not engage BVR and just look at the radar screen, it’s quite literally the boiling down of top tier to its worst component: spam.
Why? Is the 3.0-5.0 population relevant to top tier?
well as u see its mental problem XD. every one is nagry at game XD. every one wants someting diferent. no one gets what they want. every one deals it diferent ways. i think j out before missle hiot should be 24 h ban. problem solved.
give them other option. then. maps are so small for top tier. respawn is easy. for example. if u played a10. u wil fight all iin for survive. cuz u are slow. alsu u wil do everyting to maintain all amoo u have.cuz geting back on spawn for rearm is not rly option when u flyng 20 min to target. a 10 players wil fight to death. they wil never pres j. they wil try to have waste all les resources ass posible .u see there is posiblity to mace people stop shuting missles for missle XD.
Being forced to play small maps sounds like my personal hell.
wouldn’t be forced to, you just wouldn’t be able to create a lobby.
wdym realism? i dont see people shooting fox3 with fox3 in dcs

DCS is less realistic than WT. Using it as a ruler for realism is not a good idea.
So just persistent lobbies? Like 24/7 x map and just reset with random weather when it ends?
No, like… players are only able to join ongoing lobbies or enter a queue which will place them in a lobby that has slots. if no slots available, they queue for creating one when enough opposition appears.
it is how helicopter pve works. check it out to see what I mean.
Yeah, the possibility of only having small maps available at one time would be a thing though. It would be bound to happen just statistically, and queueing wouldnt guarantee a specific map. I dunno, i just perfer the ability to choose my preferred maps.
Either way, i dont think the matchmaker system is really having a huge effect on player retention for top tier. In almost every game ive played at +14.0 theres always atleast one person complaining about the iron dome, or saying they are done with top tier due to the meta.
I dont have charts or numbers, but it absolutely is effecting numbers.
Map rotation can be adjusted to only include 128km/2 maps, just like maps are rotated based on BR in RB/AB.
Not true, it happens there too, not so often as in wt, but I saw that happen many times. Not as an intended strategy, more like I fire a missile at you, you fire a missile, our missiles collide.
