The game isn’t ready for an F-22, and some nation I won’t name, aren’t really up to par in air capability as is.

And I do believe for a cheap sp cost, it should be locked to air target belts. Because if you take a normal belt, (f-15e as the example) you get:

  1. HEF-I
  2. API-T
  3. AP-I
  4. SAPHEI

BUT all the belts on that plane have 37mm + pen, which can and will do serious damage to ground targets in the right hands.

That’s why am belt with an max of say 12mm pen would be preferred.
As GRB is already ARB enough. 4 aams and a “air belt” would and should be plenty

185

800mm agms… aren’t good? Okay. Lol

186

once better flanker comes theyll be fine.

fair enough for the air belts, but then they should at least make it not cost any extra SL (ik its like nothing but still)

Poor example. An “air belt” of any M61A1 equipped aircraft should be exclusively PGU-28 SAPHEI.

188

You don’t see the problem clearly…

@quartas121 could you help explain it to him?

189

tbh hes not wrong, and i dont think the SAPHEI has enough pen to be a real threat, so itd be fine

190

No. I understand your complaint.

I’m saying using the M61A1 equipped aircraft restricted to “air targets” doesn’t help your case.

191

It’s very good against SPAA and light vehicles as it actually kills crew without direct impacts

192

so the only things its really effective against generally have means of defeating the aircraft once it gets to gun range?

193

It would have been awesome if IR guided hellfire had became a thing.

It would still erase most things.

@warthogboy09
Well the CAP would need some sort of belt, to not suddenly over take a battle because it can gun run and disable 3~6 tanks. 37mms will melt any light tank and reduce an spaa (if it can get close enough) to a disabled or explosive mess.

195

sure, but by the time they get close enough to use guns they will be extremely vulnerable

196

But if you can first spawn it as a cheap CAP, then it would likely see little resistance, unless people run auto cannon’d tanks. Which as far as I’ve ever seen, most people get in mbts first, or things with a big caliber gun.

197

it would get within .50 cal range at that point, and im sure ppl do run autocannon tanks.

the stuff it can actually kill with the SAPHEI can generally counter it anyways, LT and ofc SPAA can kill aircraft

198

Depend but its 50/50
If russia match up with us team then its a 30/70 rate because of usa top tier prem
Just like how top tier russia turm ud/ud-e1 are poupular
winrate is rng, you could be a very skills veteran and experience player that can read other team move but ur team is extremely shit so u either go next to not waste ur time or sweat ur ass off to win
winrate doesnt matter, knowing if ur team is bunch of lv7-20 matter

199

Only because they get a LOT of top tier matches paired with USA now which artificially bring down their win rates. This didn’t used to happen. It has boosted USA win rates some and hurt Russia’s. It’s not rocket science, and it’s easily observable.

200

So you’re claiming that people playing USA are bad at the game… and that people who play Soviets are extremely skilled at the game.

Gaijin already show itself many times that they don’t mind to make it unrealistic for balance reasons
They just don’t want to.

indeed they dont want to make it unrealistic here.

203

no they are not, gaijin doesn’t care to properly model hellfires. Why would you even think this in the first place when the current in-game hellfires aren’t even modeled correctly?
