I’ve been asking this every game Who would like the missiles to stay as they are or something similar? I mean, with the bug and the reaction was they want it fixed but everyone agreed that dogfighting is more fun and I wanted to make this post to ask the snail could find a way to balance the power of having the missiles well but still be able to dogfight since since I have 13.7 all the games were summarized in throwing missiles, dying or dodging missiles from some f15 or eurofighter for the whole game and doing nothing with the occasional kill and with this bug I have simply been able to finally have fun in gripen outside of a few games in Tank Battles, I mean it is more fun to use planes on tanks than on planes in my experience so what do you think?
Bug is bad because awfully inconsistent. Not fun to play the ALL NEW “CASINO THUNDER” gamemode with the missiles right now. Some may see it as more fun to use cannons, but we have Korean War jets for that c:
Very unfun when it works on you or your teammate, but when you see someone not maneuver at all because they’re base bombing in air rb with a fighter it is nice to actually kill them
Korean war jets don’t have supermaneuverability and TWR above 1, gunfights with them and with 4th gens are significantly different. And i am having a great fun, i never played WT for grind, kills or statcards, for me it’s the thrill of combat itself, and BVR slop is the fruthest thig from what i would consider “engaging gameplay”
Besides that it only works when shotting on enemies. If a missile hits me I’m dead anyway
No, it’s not fun. It’s HORRIBLE and I hate being in that furball in the middle of the map because the missiles just don’t work and how to go back to 2024/23 where there was no fox 3 and it always turned into a ball of fighting in the middle of the map, just horrible.
I’ve been asking in my matches yesterday too, and many people agreed that it is more fun, when missiles have less of an impact. People who are used to just pressing a button and receiving a neuron activation with the “Plane shot down” message, are obviously annoyed. But if you let go of your expectation to smash one button and get kills, and actually play the game, its much more engaging.
I really hope gaijin can see some merit in reduced missile effectiveness at top tiers, and maybe give us a side-event gamemode where missiles are consistently dodgeable/survivable (Disable proxy fuses? Drastically reduce all warheads?), after the bug is fixed and ARB is back to 3-minute-BVRfest
Or maybe that adjustment could be applied in AAB, its the arcade mode anyway, why not make it a bit more arcadey if it would make it more fun
bug is fun and novel at the moment, and its not inconsistent, if the missile gets a direct hit it works, if it doesnt get a direct hit it doesnt work. the reason it seems inconsistent is because its showing how much desync actually exists in air battles
The thing i hate about this is now its just whoever has the better dogfighter wins
Certain aircraft rely heavily on their missiles/BVR performance to be competitive at top tier but now that isnt the case atleast for now
I would love a guns only mode, it would be pretty fun. However, in was turn into a meta fest where people just pick meta vehicles even more so then the current matchmaker. BRs would need to be rebalanced massively.
However this bug isnt fun. Its the fact that your missile can just miss everytime, where as you 100% should be getting kills. But then the second a teammate fires a missile it kills them its infuriating.
Is it only for ARHs? I didn’t had issues with Aim 7
Don’t give them ridiculous ideas.

Boy, do I love losing out on a guaranteed kill on someone because the literal game code decided that my missile was going to do absolutely nothing.
Oh. Wait. No, I don’t love it. It’s legitimately infuriating.
Gaijin and all their bloody incompetence when it comes to game coding strikes again.
It affects Sim more and to a much worse effect
If only missiles never worked 100% of the time, but since it’s RNG you get a chance to be at least slightly damaged for every hit till you can’t control the jet anymore.
Might play the flankers a bit since they have such a tanky damage model even with functional missiles hitting it on the face
Me when RNG in RNG heavy game.
This game normally has little RNG
why are you complaining about planes doing what planes usually do and that is doing BVR and launching missiles? if u want to dogfight only u have some good early jets and props for that.
Sigh… people really fail to understand that dogfights between 3rd gen and 4th gen aircrafts are significantly different? Man it should be as obious as a day…
