You know, after playing the new update it just confirms everything I felt previously. Only Russia is allowed to have functioning equipment. It is absolutely outstanding how much Russian air dominates ground battles. It’s hilarious that the Brimstone is deemed to powerful because it “can’t be countered” yet the Russian jets are firing off missiles that no one can possibly see before they’re hit by them and watch as half the team is wiped out in seconds by it.
This is like the Mig-27K spam a few years back but like 500% worse. Top tier is pretty much unwinnable unless you have Russia on your team.
I only played air to unlock CAS for ground so I’m not too familiar with how top tier air is atm but in ground it’s just crazy how many KH missiles I’m seeing completely wipe out my team. It’s very difficult to enjoy or even get a victory in ground at the moment.
Yeah, the fact the soviets have the best AGMs and the SPAA is kinda insane. But the biggest issue with the lack of FnF missiles on the GR4 is the pressence of multiroles like the F-15E, Su-34 and Gripen that the ultimately pure ground attacker aircraft like the GR4 has to defend against whilst loitering waiting for a Brimstone 1 to hit. GR4 doesnt have that much of an upgrade over the 11.3 Tornado IDS
Having an absolutely insane amount of CMs to defend against AMRAAM and similar fox-3 missiles would be a notable boost to survivability.
In the future though, they should replace the Brimstone 1s with Brismtone 2s. Even they are still limited to SAL, they would have at least comprable performance to the AGM-65s and KH-38s
You can, but the BOL were one of the major changes from the GR1 to the GR4. So would be historically accurate. Also an extra 320 CMs ontop of that count would help a lot for what is ultimately a fairly weak 11.3 airframe to fight against the top tier 14.0 Fox-3 slingers.
True,
would make it be able to carry an insane amount of chaff (1576 if you take full chaff)
idk how the series of countermeasures is determined but my worry is that it would use BOL first / Intermix flare calibres, making it less effective when you may need it to be its most effective
also I just realised that it doesn’t get Hindenburg tanks, will any of the other nados get Hindenburgs
F3 Late does. I did ask about them, they prioritise everything getting one, despite them being fully modeled in game. So might be a while before we get them. But yes. I really want them, especially on the GR4.
if we do see proxy Brimstones its gonna be more fun than i’ve had in a while, either sneaky “BVR” capability or just another way to easily farm bot aircraft.
gonna attack Gzabi’s spreadsheet rn to see the stats that would affect A2A performance
