The SEAD/DEAD is very unrewarding. As usual with ground pound. I need to clear 10+ ground vehicles, before i get 500SP. Meanwhile, i need only 3 enemy planes for 500 SP.
Additionally, the ZSU-23-4M4s are super passive. They barely shoot, either with the cannons or with the Igla. The Gepards on the other hand, are like lasers.
Also, please nerf the IFVs anti-air capabilities. They are more dangerous than the ZSU-23-4M4. Instant snipes and perfect accuracy at 2km distance.
Why don’t they just remove the option to bring personal planes into the event match would be waaay better
Its fun slapping lvl 10 players that never piloted a jet in this game with a fakour from 40 km that you launch at them right after their wheels leave the runway on takeoff in a plane 1.7 BR lower than the f14IRAF, right? Easy money, easy grind good time, lots of SL. And Fun. Well for the guy in the f14 at least. If executed correctly they might never even get a 8th rwr warning added to the 7 that are already going ham.
For the fun of that one guy that is spamming that plane with the highest allowed BR of any plane with one of the deadliest (in what it does at least) fox 3 missile in the entire game about 10 newer players that just wanted to test a new gamemode and dont have a tenth of the other guys experience, in short that also just wanted to have a bit of fun, have a not exactly very good time. It would come across as a bit dishonest to act like thats not the case or people spamming that plane to just not see that (because of too much fun, obviously…who could blame them^^). Its not always a couple of player’'s fun above everyone else’s.
Well unfortunately you now need to do that in air rb. Sadge /s
Their radar is very bad in normal matches. I have it, fully spaded. The radar almost never works. Even at very short range.The missiles are not the best, buuuut once an air target is close enough to get a lock, they are usually quite effective. I think they have IRCCM too. So, I think their radar + lead tracking + auto cannon situation is “ok”, but their missile usage could be modified/improved.

Yeah, both the default and upgraded missiles have IRCCM:
Gepard’s radar is the opposite. Works very well in normal matches. The only thing I have issues with is that the Gepard’s guns are far apart and the convergence makes it difficult to actually hit the locked target. For me anyway. I am not great with the Gepard, but I see plenty of players laser beam me with them while I am using CAS.
SO, while I do not disagree with nerfing them a bit, I am VERY effective at taking out planes 1km-3km out in real matches with light tanks. Especially with the BMP’s/BMD’s auto cannons. I do not find this that unrealistic.
BUT, I will still agree with you that they are pretty oppressive. I think at least a second or two of firing for them to “dial in” the proper lead would go a long way. The first burst really shouldn’t be hitting. They do not have IRST, only the BMD’s have IRST in the game currently. (BMP-2M also has IRST, but I do not think these are in the event.)
Biggest changes to the event I want to see is:
Nato vs warsaw so everyone can bring their own planes.
Make the end game requirement be all bases must be destroyed, so games don’t end quickly when someone bum rushes the bomber, Let everyone get their chance.
Eh… for AI that is totally irrelevant. SIDAM-25s (that dont have a radar) are waaaaay more deadly in ASB than the Gepards. In part because you dont get any warning they are firing at you, but also their AI is also tuned up way more (Gepards on battlefields are dangerous, but can just about be evaded. SIDAM-25s are on the convoys along with a Gepard and the Convoy SPAA is a 5km death sphere)
Thanks for the extra info @Morvran ! You guys should read Morvran’s infos. I have basically never played any SIM battles and few Realistic battles, especially few ARB matches.
When will the cockpits of the new bombers become normal?
I’m still seeing one option and it’s 10.3-13.0 br with 500 USA players and 5 USSR players on all servers. Spent over 30 minutes in que before logging out and trying again. Still broken.
the 11.7-13.0 bracket is really dumb
why tf must i fight eagles and tomcats in my mld?
doesn’t help that playing russian planes at 11.7 is GUARANTEED to put you into the higher bracket sue to the amount of people wanting to play the tomcat
try playing the lower bracket, near instant matchmaking on both sides
Lower bracket is dominated by the MLD simply because the F4s cannot match them, F4S has HMD but that’s it, 9Ls are way worse than R60M
LOL
The issue is the Mig-23MLD has a better FM, better CMs and a radar that can be used at low alt. Also R-24Rs are incredibly potent when they can be used under 8km, which in that fight, they pretty much always can be.
R-60M and 9Ls both have strengths the other doesnt, but both are 1 flare defeat and basically dependent on the target not knowing you are there.
At very close range R-60 is better but everything else is 9L territory yes
Against the F-4?
