USA top tier needs a change

I just fire mavericks towards enemy tanks and not the Pantsir at first to see if the Pantsir would intercept them. If not I’ll just keep doing it and if the Pantsir does, I just focus fire the Pantsir from angles where the Pantsir can’t hide. Remember that planes have freedom of movement and can attack from any angle they choose from.

I disagree. Its the opposite.

I had a match and it took me 2 minutes to spawn a plane, shoot 3 mavericks, dive low, shoot my last 3 mavericks, then return to base and come to a stop.

No radar = cannot track Mavericks. When I spawn a plane I always assume theres a Pantsir up and immediately start looking with my TGP. Assuming the Pantsir immediately sees me and fires a missile I know I have roughly 8 seconds before impact (assuming closure rate of mach and flying in a straight line) (also assuming that the Pantsir’s missile speed average is always top speed). Realistically its more like 10-12 seconds because of reaction time and missile drag slowing it down.

603

Not gonna argue about this whole Pantsir situation, in order to beat Pantsir you have to be smarter than him and if you’re not you will not gonna be effective on battlefield, simple is that.

It is unbalanced and shouldnt be added.

604

IMO top tier CAS right now gives an insane advantage over everyone. I think its only fair if all nations get something that has similar capabilities of the Pantsir.

605

Thats why i said its unfair.

Equal capabilities for everyone? Perfectly fine in my book.

Unfair advantage for nation that has best Helicopters and best A2G munition that can outrange any enemy Spaa while doing this with amazing speed? Totally unfair.

Oh you’re talking about RU SPAA vs Everyone elses SPAA.

607

Yup.

608

Then yeah theres a clear disparity between Pantsir and other SPAAs. Even the 2nd best SPAA doesn’t even come close. If Gaijin can’t add better SPAAs then they should just lower fighter SP cost with A2A capabilities.

609

meanwhile in the sky, its the f4s. Average modern US player is cattle

Im spading my F-111C in order to grind Tornado Gr1, dont get me start on F-4S and Mig-23ML players who constantly bombs bases and dies to First guy they see.

611

Hey, at least give them some credits, since they’ll be real good at feeding the ICE’s K/D once it goes down to 13.0

Lol.

Playing the IRIAF F-14 rn feels great.

613

As much as i like to Club them im saving my half spaded ICE for next top tier German Jet.

Those sweet module bonuses will speed up my grinding when the time comes.

614

I miss spading the F-15A. All I did was steal their bases and watch them seethe in chat. Never thought base bombing would be fun

615

I’ve given up on that :shrug:

616

Jas-39A,F-15A,Mig-29G’s are even better.

You can club both F4S and Fakour-90 spammers, personally i prefer Jas-39 more due to amazing flight performance and insane amount of cm’s.

617

Typhoon will eventually come, right, right?

618

True but they’re 13.0. If I wanted to club premium spam with 13.0 I’d bring out the Flanker. The best 13.0 rn.

619

Nah Gripen eats Flanker for breakfast.

Dont get me wrong i love my Flanker and its amazing for early and long range kills but its basically helpless against Gripen.

Gripen still holds the crown at 13.0.

620

In a 1v1 sure. In ARB that crown belongs to the Flanker. You don’t need to dogfight everything, the Flanker has the top speed and TWR to run away. Even in dogfights the Flanker isn’t completely helpless, its bad but the R-73 can help a lot.

621

If its furball then Gripen is still better which is what happens in usual Air Rb match.

Flanker is more suited for long range and sneaky engagements.
