Taking out SPAAs at top tier is very common in my experience. It’s also quite effective at increasing your winrates since it prevents your teammates from taking a head on against one and dying. If SPAA are dead it’s also less of a problem that you’re firing SALH munitions.
Another advantage is that you can actually engage people that are close to wrecks, which becomes a problem for F&F munitions often, especially in late game and/or on small maps.
Most of the time, sure.
Well, at least when I touched toptier, did mostly focus AA so that folk could smite the other folks on the ground with less threat. But haven’t played it much in a while. But I was also doing that with a Gripen, so my ability to target lots of stuff was kinda kneecapped.
The point is though. A typhoon has to engage in such tactics to defeat a Pantsir…did a match in the tornado Gr1 the other day and there wasn’t anything I could do Vs a Pantsir. All my PGMs were shot down.
But a Su25SM3 Vs an ADATS? it’s point, fire and 1x kill guaranteed against said SPAA. Same is true for 80% of top tier SAMs
Found carpet bombing them was effective on its introduction. From tree top level-ish.
Probably is still now. Shame we don’t have Bl755 or that unguided bombs cost as much as GBUs.
It would be nice for dumb bombs to receive a cost decrease at high tier, and for cluster ordnance. Would enable some silly plays, and some aircraft to be a bit more useful.
Yeah it would.
The problem is cas itself, no matter how good of spaa you have, cas will still be dominant.
Whether you have bombs or agms, cas is still better
I’ve seen 3 nukes happen from people spawning in brimstone carrying planes, killing our whole team, then getting a nuke.
Separate matches of course, but still.
Its common at any BR.
Difference is how much effort it requires.
dancing around like forest fairy on crack just to achieve what single Kh-38MT can by simply smashing the spacebar sounds like lot of effort for one kill.
Again, F&F achieve the same with less effort.
Any CAS can be good in uncontested airspace, this say literally nothing about performance of Brimstones nor any other missile, bomb or rocket for that matter.
Another extremely niche scenario, importance of which is diminished by the fact that any sort of large enough ordnance landing close enough to SPAA will destroy it regardless.
Yes, the game mode with small ass maps where you can lock everything in ACM mode, so important “bud”.
Thats sorta irrelevant. Ive got several nukes with M60s, despite that i dont think they are best tanks in the game. (I mean they are but thats beside the point).
That is super relevant. The sp cost for a plane with that kind of weapon system is typically 840ish~
Meaning they had a large gap to make up…
And model every single thing in the game wrong and let it rot for years.
Its irrelevant due to fact that its entirely dependent on player, not the vehicle nor missile. Good player can make anything work.
I’m glad you just said that, because it means there shouldn’t be a single complaint from anyone.
“good player can make anything work”
Funny that brimstones can be carried as a max load of 18, and at best you get 6 KH-38s…
You also just said it’s not the missile, it’s the player.
Buddy just give up already.
Subjective aspect in discission about vehicle or weapon is irrelevant.
In hypothethical scenario where two evenly matched players face each other, it comes down to vehicle or weapon performance.
And in this regard Kh-38MTs outperform brimstones in almost every aspect.
And Phantom can carry what, 285x FFARs, ergo its better CAS than Su-34 according to you, because it carries more ordnance?
