The Missile Bugs Make Air RB more fun at top tier for a reason

Ofc it’s an “abysmal take” when someone has a different opinion innit?

It’s wasting my prem time in the meanwhile, while also not letting me play the game when I DO want to play jets at the moment.

yes because your opinion doesn’t even make a sense, I would love to see F-15E that is made for BVR in only dogfights because some people have skill issue with evading missiles.

You can see it right now by just queuing in the game. There’s a plenty of people doing dogfights in F-15E and quite alot of them are winning (most likely because people at top tier forgot what a dogfight is).

Sure thing Gaijin messed up and should be refunding premium time with this level of game breaking bugs. But this is topic of how this bugged version of top tier somehow is more fun than non-bugged one, not about wasted premium time.

Bug just got fixed

Also, Gaijin, pls fix forums, 405 error isn’t very professional, especially in 2025.

Really? Took 'em long enough. Now get back to the usual schedule of vertical notching half of the lobby then.

It’s a realistic match, and in real life a dogfight rarely happens, most of it is a fight to launch missiles and defend against them, the gaijin couldn’t add an f-35 (as some players speculate) and simply continue with the 9.0 mentality

On one hand I absolutely love it since I prefer dogfighting with too tier jets (my favourite being the Grippen). On the other hand, it’s is annoying as hell seeing my missile directly impact someone and not doing a damn thing. Hell, I’ve even been smacked by a radar missile and it just blew up on me and didn’t do anything.

The way it should be. Guns only dogfight mode is a stupid fantasy of ace combat players who refuse to get used to actual good radar/missile mechanics. Keep dreaming

It depends on whether you let the other person use his cards, then he wins, but if you use your cards in your favor, you can beat him. I say this because the FW190 doesn’t turn at all compared to other planes, but knowing your plane and knowing the pros and cons, you can beat a spitfire. You just have to know when to turn, play with its energy, power, and speed, and tire it out, dodge, bleat, and wait for the right moment, in my opinion.

Which face missiles…XD

lmao sure

They fixed missiles, but at what cost?
Cannons busted now. They don’t do any damage.

I would like to see it as event mode or something else because separating MM is not good idea.

Even DCS world has server that only allows guns and popular there.

Some may see Korean War jets as more fun to use cannons, but we have props for that c:

IR and SARH missiles are still broken.

As long as the gun works, it’s perfect for me…

Agreed. Even in top tier fighters. HOWEVER, they rely on their missiles massively. In a no missile mode the F104A/C would sit very high due to its ability to just sit away from everyone at its current teir. The F16A would be above the SU30.

The game wouldnt work with no missiles. They force the more manuverable or faster planes to play to their advantages. Obviously the game is very compressed, but if gaijin could do their job and balance the game properly then it would be fine.

You still get 1 v 1 moments in top tier airRB, and missiles do play into forcing those dogfights more then you thing

Did we get any balanced jet games since supersonic jet has been added?

I don’t think so and, never happen.
