Criticism is often held by me, but sometimes things must be addressed, like this: (alright who flagged this, barely anything inappropriate in this but a few F’s to get the point across… if was the f’s, fine removed, but this is still extremely valid).

I still thoroughly believe this is a STUPID MOVE by the devs, why/what are they so fearful above jet bombers in naval battles, let alone high capacity bomb armed aircraft.

You lot snuck those changes in last minute into the August BR change so we couldn’t object to it & now you’re tiring up loose ends for your change.

Gaijin Entertainment, Fun for all modes but the fun police for naval battles as you continue to remove critical features from the mode to water it down to a constant slug fest.

Also a massive kicker here’s the Tupolev Tu-14T jet torpedo bomber, you go through the trouble of adding the first parachute dropped aerial torpedo to the game an specifically for this aircraft & within a few months you remove it from the mode…

Furthermore you didn’t remove the B-52H nor the Tu-95M when you did this & tbh they’re more devastating than the twin engine jet bombers, especially when the B-52H carries more 750lb bombs than say the B-57B or even the SO.4050 II that were already excluded. An for the Tu-95M it carries several types of high capacity bombs that most twin engine jet bombers could only carry one or two of them.

And to drive this point even more home, naval AI AA or hell any player that doesn’t have the IQ of a turnip with manual aiming, assisted by radar guided tracking, or missile armament that’ll defeat most bombers in one to five missiles (depending on missile type).

I say turnip as I’ve watched a Type 103 missile destroyer get angry at being bombed by a B7A, scream in chat for several minutes, even through they’ve a 14000 metre range SAM & 12000 metre range guns…

Utterly ridiculous.

Hmm hah hah hah hah hah, next part…

Soooo for much of the life of separated BR’s for modes, you bar certain jet aircraft or bombers & also aerial AGM’s… last update the Yak-130 was permitted before being removed (even through most SAM’s batteries outrange it by 3×), an now you say screw it & give the french an aircraft armed with AS.20 AGM’s all while blocking past aircraft with said missile. An yet here you’re adding another pointless AGM to this mode that you fear so much being too powerful against 8.0 ships (newsflash the Ki-148 AShM exists at 2.3 that’ll sink 8.7 battleships).

So can we maybe get other aircraft armed with AGM’s again, now? Or will you back peddle this aircraft?

no thanks we want SPAAs to be able to intercept CAS munitions in GRB so SPAA isn’t useless

Then only fix it for player SPAA.

Leave it be for AI SPAA and player air-to-air missiles.

Good, but that’s just one issue out of many that need to be resolved for the F-102A.

Fix and add the SUU-11 gunpods and legacy Falcons.

Good news: 18% thrust increase!

Bad news: still can’t kill anything! :)

it’s only at take off speeds or very high altitudes

13

No one plays the random free vehicles because they have lvl 1 crew and are stock. Change them to a max level crew and spaded and people maybe actually want to stay and play

14

I wonder what this is

I know you see my reply

I can’t think of a faster way to kill off playerbase loyalty for good and kill the game dead than making the grind entirely pointless in this way. :)

Why not give them all max crew skills as well? Save us all time actually having to play the game, we could all get on with our lives and do something else, really.

It’s only for the 2 free tanks you get in every game? Why would for example stay and play an AA without proxy missles because it’s stock?

They added them so that people stop leaving after 1 death. But they are stock and have crew lvl 1. It makes way more sense then to just leave and play your (hopefully) not stock tanks.

17

Why we still can’t compare Pantsir SM-SV 95Ya6M FM performance?

Afaik it’s the only missile you can’t compare.
Is it to hide the bs flight model or what?

18

Depends on the nation, everyone uses the free Pantsir and ADATS, no one uses the free Otomatic or the Pumas.
They should give just 1 MBT for each nation, spaded with 50% crew, only if you have less than 2 tanks on the lineup.

19

Nothing is wrong with this patch.

20

Some AAs are fine because some of them only have 1 missle type but playing a normal tank with no engine upgrade, stock heat, super long reload because crew lvl 1 is just annoying
