As title says.
Currently, most nations’ highest BR premiums are either CAS (like Italy) that are terrible in ARB or are way worse in capabilities than current top tier TT aircraft.
China is stuck with a 10.7 MiG, Japan with 11.0 F4 and even major nations aren’t much better in that regard.
Why is Gaijin sleeping on this, as I’m sure those 13.0/13.3/13.7 premiums would sell like hot candy ?
More importantly, I would be super keen to get some capable premium SPAA options
I think its so people dont have access to top tier just like that.
to be fair, the J-7D is an AMAZING premium, borderline busted at 10.7
Personally. I kinda want to see some fun premiums added. For example, for Britain. Something like the BAE Hawk T1A [Red Arrow] to replace the kinda aging Harrier Gr1 Premium around 9.7.
Or a South African Buc S50 at 9.0.
I dont really have much interest in seeing 13.0 premiums being spammed out resulting in constant TKs from people who have no idea how to handle an ARH and I dont think those at 12.0-13.0 do all that well due to the current compression. The highest BR aircraft I might want to see is a Saudi Tornado F3 at 12.0.
Ideally never
I wouldnt mind top tier not getting spammed by lvl 5s for a few months
Would be nice but seeing how ground received theirs, Gaijin is just sleeping on easy money and players are lacking great, somewhat modern fighters to grind TTs with.
I’m all for slightly gimped EFT/Rafale/Su being premiums, those actually look like a decent buy, even from my perspective.
Nothing that a tutorial won’t solve.
Seeing how Germany has Su as it’s highest premium instead of MiG/EFT/Tornado is beyond me.
Wont be anytime soon and I really hope they dont start handing out Premiums like that anytime soon.
It wont change much imo
Mig-29 maybe. EFT wont be for at least a year or 2 (we dont even have a premium F-16 yet and that was added 2 years ago)
Tornado… They already have nearly as good as they can get. If anything, it being at 11.3 instead of 11.7 like most of the others are, is a greater boost than anything else.
I’m just placing out ideas for future additions. Currently, stuff like MiG 29s, Su-27 or F-14/15/16 could be added as a stop gap, as those are already in the game for a long while.
In my opinion they would quickly learn that as TK penalty can be quiet significant for new players.
I was honestly quite surprised seeing how bad premium Air options are when compared to Ground. Sucks that you can’t buy 13.3/13.7 UFO with ARHs to grind the entire TT with.
That Tornado is still a bombing bus which isn’t really for everyone. It’s meh in GRB as well so your options are pretty limited.
All in all, I’d like to see some modern-ish premiums with similarly modern weaponry. I’d actually buy some of those as I’m not really interested in lower tier air gameplay.
Premium tomcat 💀
bruh dont give them ideas
Can’t wait to see level 1 bozo buy prem tomcat and kill teammates with AIM-54s.
TBH, I would like to see premium F-14A late even I already grinded every vehiciles in US because it is just fun to play and current A models missing ALR-67 and GBUs, etc.
It’s the same BR as the A-5C which makes zero sense lmao
The AMX A-1A is much better than the F-104S premium we used to have for Italy top tier air lmao. The J-7D is by far one of the best 10.7’s in the game and it’s not even close and shouldnt have been moved down in the first place. And Gaijin has started with selling 13.0+ premiums already look at the JA37D, it’s a 13.0 premium and it’s complete garbage and a waste of money. Starting players out in top tier air in its current state is an awful way to introduce people who buy premiums at level 10 to the game, and I hope they don’t make more top tier premiums for their sake. I mean don’t get me wrong hundreds of free kills in the Eurofighter and Rafale sounds amazing, but it’s really bad for the games health.
I don’t agree, F-104S is one of the best grinders, very good base bomber. AMX idk, I don’t like it in air RB, although I enjoy it a lot in GRB.
They are just very different, but imo F-104S is better if you want to research the TT fast.
Overtired pencil vs 50g missiles and enough napalm to make the entirety of Vietnam have nightmares
We just need better planes that aren’t waste of money.
Not only level 10s will buy them and people will have to learn how to play the game at some point, sooner or later.
Yes I agree we do need better planes that aren’t a waste of money, at lower BR’s too!
Which is much easier when you learn one mechanic at a time, learning all the shit you need to perform well in top tier can take literally months for an average player. Learning the game is much easier if you play F2P and slowly work your way up in BR, but gaijin knows this aint profitable so they sacrifice good game design for $$$
