“in a dogfight” doesnt necessarily mean the same as winning a gunfight.
Dont forget the F-35 has other things going for it, like the look-through-body thing with the HMD. Combine with HOBS missiles and the need to “win” a turn fight becomes secondary to winning the dogfight
Yes, plenty of noobs will buy premiums, but there is a lot of higher tier premiums already and they don’t have such atrocious stats.
This can be easily observed when looking at vehicles which have both TT and premium variants, like 2A4 or Click Bait for example. Differences in stats between them are marginal, so putting all the blame onto premium players is a bit too much.
Remember premium PT-76-57 ?
That thing was clubbing everything at it’s introduction and quickly got it’s BR increased. I don’t see why they wouldn’t do the same for 2S38 if it was indeed that strong.
It gets too much hate to be honest.
helicopters should be properly armored. idk if that counts
vehicles should be balanced purely off of vehicle performance rather than player performance. (that’s another one)
Oh, now THAT is spicy… I like it!
players are balanced with RnG! ever noticed how the easiesrt of shots bounce and “Hit” when clearly the player should be dead, only to be 1 shot return fire and game over!!
RnG - set to win, set to lose.!
i got another. lower the br of all heavy tanks and make them cost spawn points.
Not so much a vehicle but mechanic.
Hull break was a far better mechanic for balance than overpressure especially for vehicles that weighs 15t or less.
My vehicle hot take however would be that manpads vehicles like Stingers and such are fine in their current state and anybody asking for them to get buffed are going to get majorly disappointed when said vehicles inevitably skyrocket in BR and create massive gaps in the trees they are in.
Gaijin should also do BR change updates every month instead of the 2-3 months they do now.
People complain about Stingers? Sure the range is limited but I never had a problem with them
They are artificially limited to 13G pull, when multiple primary sources show they should pull more like 20-22G. But Gaijin couldnt figure out how Stingers could do that but IGLAs couldnt and so limited the Stinger
and thats just the main issue. Multiple other reports in for them
It’s quite a terrible missile. The only way you die by a Stinger is by either being AFK in a plane or by being dumb enough to get within 3km of a battlefield on a helicopter.
It’s also missing half of it’s pull and I think the K variant is supposed to have some sort of datalink capability, however I am not familiar on how it actually works. Either way it took people a good year to even get Gaijin to accept the Mistral/Stinger reports and even then they only gave us respectively 3 and 6 more Gs of pull because I guess some developers in there like to pretend that they are aeronautical engineers.
The Flankers are good at dogfighting.
They tend to be worse than some of the opposition, but they’re still extremely good at dogfighting.
Then again, that tends to depend on pilot skill.
The difficulty with aircraft like the Flankers or the F/A-18 is that you have to know how to get in the right position in the first few seconds of the fight and get the first shot right, otherwise Eurofighters and Rafales will run circles around you the minute you try a sustained dogfight.
It’s not like dogfighting matters anyways in the current meta so I will use this opportunity to say once more that Air RB sucks and the overcrowded games make it even worse.
I don’t remember who it was, but I know some youtuber called the F/A-18 the Flanker of NATO with how it handles.
It might’ve been SIN or Squishface, But yeah. They demand more skill than something like a EFT, Gripen, or F-16A
I mean honestly people complaint about it always and compare it to hstvl in hstvl u get a lower profile hull down capabilities actually have a lot of depression it’s more mobile also a lot more survival
The MiG-29SMT Sucks, the FM is Artificially nerfed and it flies like a Gigaint Rock is Hooked on its body and isnt because of the Extra hump back tank, this plane sucks cuz gaijin nerfed all MiG-29s so the F-16ADF players at the time didnt cry harder, remember in the Apex Predators when the Migga-29, Tornados and the F-16ADF was Added and the MiG-29 was actually good, yeah IRL was like this too, whem German MiG-29Gs make USAF Cry hard and then started using HMDs, this day NATO forces was training in an exercice and the German MiG-29G build arround the R-73 and HMD simple destroyed USAF F-16s cuz they cant See sideways and the MiGs HMD can yeah right the 29G isnt the SMT its lighter but doesnt matter the G is Nerfed too, the point is, all the MIGs are nerfed and they sucks rn, they are light, engines are strong, the plane is very small compared to other fighters like the F-15 and the Sukhois, 29s are very similar to the Eurofighter in Engine power and Size, but remember the EF can UFO others n barely stall even being a delta wing same as rafale, but the plane that was build to be a close range fighter cant fight at close range, it was build for that, also the R-77 sucks, it cant go very far, but thats alright but it sucks to short range too since gaijin put way to much drag on it, it cant pull the 50Gs it was made for while MICAS looks like can 360° in place in some dogfights
Gaijin needs to make people do the put the shape in the hole test before letting people into sim ground especially at the lower tier stuff, Seriously why do Japanese tanks get team killed so often when they look nothing like allied tanks.
The BT-5/7 are by far the best starter tanks in the game and nothing really comes close.
The rocket one is comically overpowered, You can do well with it 5+ BR’s higher, Its at 1.3 but should honestly be 3.7, Those rockets are just that strong.
Naval is not a bad mode itself, It has its problems but its way too over hated, Coastal is quite fun.
People focus way too much on top tier ships and judge the entire mode off of it.
The Strv 74 is better at 6.7 than the Pbv 501.
I absolutely hate those heat grenades they fire. they do absolutely no damage. I would 100% rather have Aphe at that br. I still like the pbv 501 for its mobility though.
