I’m checking this thread to find out if @AlvisWisla has unlocked the best strike aircraft in the game.
Not since dev. I did all the testing I needed to do there, against Pantsirs even.
I’ll get around to it next major update likely.
Working on Sukhoi 34 at this time to get it air sim ready [I’ll never use it in ground].
Anyone having issues with the BOL pods? I unlocked and equipped them but have no additional flares/chaff. I still have the standard 56/1200 and no additional 350 from the BOL.
Edit:
Okay maybe I’m late to the party, I guess in order for the MAW to work with a decent flare/chaff amount, you have to have one of each type of countermeasure pod. This cuts your total CMs in half to 28/600, which frankly sucks, but is understandable from a balancing standpoint. However, I cannot find a single configuration in which the BOL pods do anything.
Delete any and all custom loadouts and make them fresh. Its a long standing bug with BOL (and any other loadout based CM pod) on every aircraft. (Might also be affecting your TERMA pod as well by the sounds of it)
Ditching 1x BOZ pod in favour of a TERMA pod isnt actually all that big of a deal. Especially as the TERMA should need both pods to get full all-aspect coverage but you can get away with just one in game due to game limitations
2x BOL (320) + 1x TERMA (240) + 1x BOZ (28/600) will give you (nearly) 600 flares and 600 large calibre chaff which is an exceptional CM load. Especially if BOL ever gets fixed. So I dont think its a “balancing” thing but purely an historical aircraft thing

follow Morvan’s instructions but don’t forget about rebooting the game after creating a loadout!
Sounds like Evil Gaijin will smile like Teletubbies and… in the next update, Maybe Gaijin patch a hole by limiting TERMA to require both for use, Just like the External Fuel tank does.
Because Brit are not allowed to have some good goodies. right? ;)
I am surprised they didn’t force that, but 1x Boz + 1x TERMA is a historically accurate loadout as it covers the important parts like rear and below. (Just not the parts obscured by the airframe) So if the game can’t handle 100% true implemration then that’s on them to fix.
But given how things like PD MAWS isn’t modeled yet but is probably on their to-do list for sooner rather than later. I could see a MAWS overhaul sometime this year that would nerf it/correct it
Thank you! With the BOL working the CM count is way more respectable!
