Now that all the missiles are extremely efficient, how about we talk about decompression?
Starting with the Su-30 MKK and MK2: for nearly a year, many players, myself included, have been asking for them to be moved to 13.7.
Still within the Flanker family, how about moving the Su-27SM to 14.0? It is unjustifiable for it to remain at 13.7, especially considering that the M2K-5F, F-18C Late, and F-15E are at 14.0, yet the Su-27SM stays at 13.7 even after the missile changes.
The F-14D already has enough changes to be a 13.3 instead of a 13.0.
F-18s, which have been another bane of compression since the Hornet Sting patch.
Both the F-18A and the early F-18C should have been implemented in the game exactly as they were on the Hornet Sting dev server.
The F-18A at 12.7 (should have)with 6x AIM-7P and 2x AIM-9L, and the early F-18C(should have) with 8x AIM-7P and 2x AIM-9M at 13.0…I still don’t understand why the Hornets launched with such a low BR after the dev server.
The Mirage 2000C-S5 should go back to 12.7 and get a buff for the Super 530D.
The F-15A really needs to go back to 13.0 urgently (a BR it never should have left).
… And especially regarding the game’s newest addition, the F-16XL: this aircraft carries four AIM-120s, so it needs to have at least the same BR as the F-16MLU; the decision to set it at 13.0 was a complete delusion.
whoa whoa f18C earlys don’t have 8 aim7Ps its 6 and 2 IR
But he should have it, and be moved to the 13.0
How it was on the Hornet Sting dev server.
is there such thing as dual sparrow rack?
aim9M for it at 13.0 2 extra missile not needed
Was never a loadout for F-18A/C, only F-18E has the store count for it.
HELL NAH dude wake the f up, those sparrows are suffering enough already against the mass of pl12’s and 120’s being shot at those planes, if i could say they should be at where are at least.
Decompression is only convenient when it affects you.
When the J-7E faces the Hornet, or the F-104 faces a Swiss F-18C, that’s all fine.
dude, the J7E is 10.7, also there is a single f104 at 11.7 to face the f18c on a full uptier lol
There are at least 4 in every match I play.
Not to mention that aircraft like the Mirage F1C, MiG-23MLD, Kfir, F-4J(Kai), Tornado F.3, and JA 37D constantly face the F-18; it is completely unfair for 3rd-generation fighters to go up against the F-18.
It is just as unfair as 13.0s facing Su-30 MKKs and MK2s.
F-18A def should go up
Yes
Tbh, idk about this
Agreed
Yes, should have been higher even before missile changes
J-11B could go up too maybe?
We also need a new top br
Allowing for further decompression so that the 13.0 flankers (Su-27/33, J-11) can also go up a little to give vehicles at lower brs more breathing room as an example
with the j7E ? not real lol 10.7 cant face the hornet dude .
while i agree with the mirage F1C, we are still talking about an uptier and thats an issue about the mirage F1C being at an bad br not really the hornet’s fault.
Id say you havent understood what decompression means lol, and i keep my word that i completly dissagree with your idea of moving the hornet and then moving the problems up aswell, your not fixing literally anything for those guys there, just leaving the 11.7 vehicles out of the chaos, and giving the 9M to the hornet would not make it even half as competitive as any fox3 slinger at this br range.
It really seems that you havent touched this br range in a while if you think that giving an better close range missile and 2 extra fox1’s would do enough to face 14.0
J7E is 11.3
The F14D should be left where it is with these other changes maybe. the aim 54 is not strong enough of a missile in its implementation.
Issue is that it’s sitting at the same br as the F-14B which is objectively worse
Yes there’s so much plane that needed the compression, like the Jets that has a Fox-3 Capabilities but limited armament
such as F-5TH TCU and Kfir C.10
or the examples F/A-18C early and SU-30MKK that has much more armament but other plane in that BR does not have that many missiles than them. So it’s kinda a little unfair when you go fights again them with 4 missile which is many planes in the BR of 12.0 have
For sure. What’s the solution then, because as it sits fighting in that su30 bracket and above it is significantly out classed. Ive found i have better luck running aim7s and aim9s exclusively on it because the 54c+…the phoenix as a whole doesnt have the mobility thanks to the nerfs it gets a low altitude and if you launch from high alt everyone dodges besides the occasional mouth breather. it just doesn’t seem to me increasing its br is the solution.
Solution is increasing max br so we can decompress more effectively
ohh i mustve checked on air arcade, sorry for that lol, anyways it faces the F18A which while not that much worse, doesnt have the DL and IOG missiles
