you can see it clearly coming from 40km away.
One notch and the missile is gone
The current wt meta is close-medium range launches
Especially at that br where vehicles are slower
Which makes R-77 the meta missile
You wanna do a 1v1 with fakours vs R-77s?
It’s very obvious which plane will win
Wait, I’ve only just seen this post, what the hell? An official CM statment that entire teams of mostly prem Su-30s (and sometimes only prem Su-30s) constantly play in mirror matches against themselves, and this is treated not as a huge problem and matchmaker breaking down, but as an actual good reason to keep them where they are? O_O
The one gripe which i feel a majority of the community spoke out about is the Su30 premiums destroying the matchmaker. Which is addressed as they shouldnt see top tier 14.7s but can ruin 12.3s?!
IRIAF goes to 13.7 but su30s no? A one trick pony plane thats lands and leaves is more potent than an army of su30s wild
Make it make sense
The rest i feel are more simple balance issues. Also the zeros going up is crazy.
(I have not played props in a while but zeros sucked last year when i went to spade them)
(I am not speaking for the whole community)
The tiger 2p was 6.3 for the longest time and was fine. I dont think it going back to 6.3 will cause a lot of issues.
The last two decades I was an underpaid, overworked general contractor for Uncle Sam both here and abroad, I moonlighted as a freelance dev for tabletop RPGs and wargames (and sometimes a fusion of the both)
I can work as a game dev. I HAVE worked as a game dev. And one who’s work was a lot better than this.
But this is really not their fault. Don’t blame the devs: They’re just hired help. They don’t run GJ. Someone else does. At the end of the day it’s that group of Oligarchs that is trying to run this game…one with more potential than I’ve seen in…fk, 44 years of playing videogames. I’ll guarantee you they have a LOT less power than you think.
You only get 2 more missiles and guns over osa which dont really make huge difference. At cost at being inferior at killing planes.
Various terrains at spawn which is not always possible to leave unless you want somebody to slime you out.
You have a radar and t 6 1 cmd. Thermals doesnt offer much. Tor doesnt have thermals and this doesnt make it any worse.
Only 1 good thing worth being 1 br step higher, at 10.7. Not at 11.0. Also strela excels at closer ranges.
Enemies at those brs are fast so you arent flanking anything and 30mm poopoo is nowhere close to 35mm aphe on oerlikon spaa.
Luckily, range is secondary to pull, as evident by the fact that until the addition of AESAphoons, top dog for ARB for almost entiriety of the last year was Rafale.
You can see em, but you may not have the time to notch them, because the fakours are that fast.
Again, the R-77’s are only “meta” because dimwits like to go into furballs, or keep hugging the ground all match.
Like, why do most F-15 players tend to merge with SU-30’s instead of just running away and blasting AMRAAMS from a such a distance, that the underperforming R-77’s will be useless? Such question remains a mystery.
8.0 ground, have fun…
Bro trust me
Aim9p = r73
Aim7m = r27er
Fakour = r77
No hms = hms
Dookie radar = not so dookie (compared to f14 iriaf) radar
Excuse me. What?
Close to 20km for a free kill is underperforming?
Hello?
Regarding the Su-30, the given statement reads like a “we could move them up, and they will have troubles facing full up tiers, making two (three J-11A should be included”) suffer in up tiers, therefore we chose to throw a whole range of Bars under the Bus instead - they are our cash cows after all (and the next undertiered premium isn’t ready yet).
It’s even stated that their match maker wouldn’t change that much as they are being spammed, making them face each other mostly, but anyways f’ 12.3+.
It took literal 6 weeks to stop their shiny we listen you advertisements and revert back to usual Gaijin.
F-22 premium when?
You can see them when they get launched
and then get into a notch pre-emptively when you spot one heading towards you
Because that won’t work?
Blasting AMRAAMs from BVR ranges does nothing simply because notching long range launches is trivial.
You’re just extending a fight pointlessly and not getting any kills
Why do you think competitive players choose planes with high-g pull missiles over AIM-120 slingers?
Just look at the last esport major
We had AESA eurofighter, F-15C GE and even F-18E in the lineup
But literally everyone took the rafale with its MICAs (worst Fox-3 for range btw)
Why?
because the meta, no matter what plane you’re in, is close-medium range engagements from 13.0 onwards
Its air br it seems. Should be 9.3 grb still.
Oh nevermind I just noticed.
literally nothing, no feedback was considered :/
cool to see the soviet ADATS went up finally, only if ADATS come down to 11.3 or something
At ranges where AMRAAM has advantage over R-77/MICA it takes around 25 seconds for AMRAAM to reachc its target even if you go high and fast.
Are you implying you struggle to defend agaisnt ARH in 25 second window?
Can anyone, player dev whatever explain why the Harrier GR7 a sub sonic attacker with 0 radar, 0 fox 3’s is at 13.0 in arcade? this thing is at 12.3 RB and is hardly lighting the world on fire at 12.3, at 13.0 it is beyond outmatched.
You seem to not be happy fighting Su-30 premiums it seems.
Just dont get your stats too high or they’ll move it up to 12.7 in RB lol
