RWR blind spots suck, however the AA being strong isn’t the issue here. I feel like we keep circling back to the same solution I gave earlier or to so many people:
If you don’t want to be destroyed by an almost unavoidable SPAA, avoid the airfields entirely
(However I will say aircraft like in your example will sorta suffer with ItO as AA, however the change was sorely needed. To conclude, all I can say is that just as with the many changes to the game (e.g. the introduction of Fox-3 missiles across all nations, the reduction of multipath height, IRCCM missiles, etc.), everyone (more or less…) learned to adapt to them eventually. Yes there is or will be complaining (as there are now), but eventually it blows over as everyone gets used to the new reality)
Where can we find the new version of the CDK? The latest version we have is dated November 27, 2024.
Usually there was an update two or three times a year, but it’s been a year now and we can’t open the updated maps, and many elements are missing and cause the software to crash.
The worst nerf to the CA Lorraine isn’t immediately visible.
The reverse speed is now a measly 3 km/h! It used to be very fast on the reverse (iirc 27 km/h). You would shoot someone and then reverse into cover easy.
I think 5.7 might still be too high
I may adapt to it, but you don’t skip steps, they shouldn’t have gone straight to the Ito.
The Ito seems to not even kill anything but bombers, and me specifically strangely enough.
I flew on Tunisia, even hugging the ground wasn’t good, same on Sinai.
I went to top tier in my F-14 on Stalingrad or whatever snow map. And I spawn in and the Itos couldn’t kill a Rafael flying by the run way.
They should’ve made it an 2s6 upgraded.
This change is really only meant to hurt the bombers, and like I said in another post, since I can only be a fighter for the most part now, since I don’t want to fight over my team to get ground kills / base kills, instead of the godly rewards we used to get off airfields, I’ll instead just hunt with a fighter.
oh and even when fighting, I’ve had 3 people already run back to the massive safety net of their runway to avoid dying after losing a the first strike ability
The only people to benefit from this change is gaijin.
But still… an Ito seeing anything 12.0 and below is kinda crazy
Expected. It’s an AI-controlled line-of-sight SPAA aided by radar with a perfect lead on you. You’re not multipathing it.
I’ve heard enough, nerf the Eurofighter. /s
You get the same-ish amount of rewards fighting than you do taking 3x the time bombing… so you’re better off
(actually, it’s more meant to address zombers/airfield campers than anything)
Running back to your AA coverage area is a valid tactic… if you know that’s what they’re going to do you might as well turn around and RTB instead of wasting your time/life chasing a target you can’t destroy.
Actually, we all benefit from this. Or do you enjoy being swarmed at your airfield when player count sways heavily to one side?
This nerf to the Iris-T made her unplayable, I can’t hit anything that goes faster than 300 km/h anymore haha. But of course, you guys need to sell the Su-30.
I enjoy my spaa doing its job, but it only seems to work around the 10.7 - 11.7 range, which conveniently means all those older premiums are ineffective. Unless you’re fighting of course.
Which a lot of those happen to be strike fighters. Strike fighters that can get BVR’d easily.
Nor do I enjoy being killed by the magic spaa bubble because someone fled when they knew they were toast. It’s as bad as people who purposely crash as soon as they know they can’t win.
Why does China have to get everything late? The BA-11 missile is released later than all the FnF missiles helis (No, the CM502KG is so bad that it doesn’t even counts as a usable missile) , the Chinese SPAA isn’t on-par and a new one that was promised is released later than all the other new SPAAs too. Spall liners on Chinese tanks are still not complete and even then this feature is released later compared to all other tanks with spall liners in game. Is this really just a mistake on gaijin’s part, or is this on purpose?
It just late 1 patch, compared other nation that even need more longer than it. Even some nation still stuck with oldest system that not on par with current meta.
You can aim and shoot helicopter’s gun just by looking at the target from cockpit view. This is a very nice feature for SIM but there is no change in third person used in RB (because aiming and shooting the gun with mouse view mode is already possible)
