must be something like that cause he isnt even good at cas, it annoys me to no end
at 8.7 the ZA35 and rooikat 76 are the highlights i get that. I dislike the awful damage on the rooikats gun and really hate 35mm spaa meta but its undeniable that it just works. I am guilty of using them to get into a sea vixen or buccaneer S1 within the first 2 mins of a match too.
it does feel like 7.X-9.X only exists for minor nations to be targets for german, american and russian mains with how strong and outright oppressive so many vehicles in those trees are, even in a cracked lineup like 7.7 france you arent free from T58s and XM246 players touching you.
my favourite BR is 7.7, ive clocked thousands of matches at that BR now despite the compression and SPAA hell. its awful but my fave tank is scimitar and i like centurion gameplay…
move T58 to 9.0 and stop 35mm SPAA being so OP gaijin, release me from this hell
Tbf Sweden CAS that’s good basically only includes the 195 and the Gripper E past that it’s not worth your time tbh
7.7 Germany is pretty fun, they were my first ground nation and I was a total germain main when I started absolutely trash KD lol, but after finishing up Germany and doing the US I went back to 7.7 and honestly kinda dig it, M48 is a monster on downtiers as so many people have no idea to shoot the cupola lol, plus Maus is neat map and BR dependant but fun, I also throw the JU288 and Sturmtiger in for good measure.

I like to take 1 gun pod for SK60 or SAAB 105, there are a lots of helis and props around this BR and shot them down can earn more than ground targets, but yeah that’s depends on pilot choice.
Personally for me it depends on what’s already up, sometimes I’ll take the 4x 1000lb bombs and 2 missiles over the gunpod but if other vehicles are up I’ll use gunpods. Unfortunately gaijin seems to love deleting my loadouts because of the name I think but idk why. It’s only my named loadouts and it’s not like they are offensive.
To be honest, it doesn’t matter for the FM, Scimitar’s FM is horrible as well, the only issue now AGM12 is pretty hard to control since Gaijin buff its speed, and people alaways forget what diff between A4E and FJ4B, I can use AGM62’s camera to guide AGM12 far from 6km, but for those you can only use eyes to find is pretty difficult, and that also happened on Etendard, it just has 2 AGMS, for the CAS it is pretty low effiency if you spend almost 10mins respawn–2 mins on the way, 2 mins to find targets, 2 mins back to AF and then reload and take off…
The Alpha E’s issue is simpler, no 1000lb bombs, no AGMs, the SNEB is not accurate far from 2 km. Each time when there is an SPAA lock on you, then you need to take a risk against that and wish your CCIP works

Yeah when I was in full down tier, I would take 41000+2500lb bombs or some rockets, I don’t trust AIM9B, and it is useless to against helis.
BTW Gaijin also deleted my loadouts; not sure what happened but sometimes my loadouts just get in half
fair. the alpha jet is a much more close and personal attack plane. they all suffer from gepard spam unless you play in very specific ways tbh
I wish it was 2500lb lol. Realistically I don’t think the 105 can go up because then where would the SK60F or XT go? Similar ground loadout but better air. Not to mention the 105 is worse than the A32A and that’s 9.0
As for my loadouts it’s just my named ones.

kinda just happens with updates sometimes dunno why
For me it’s just my named ones
The other issue is we don’t have 9.0 French tanks XD, so I have to take it to 9.3 or have to use No-STAB tanks against T72s, when Alpha at 9.3, the dangerous SPAA should be M247/PGZ09, no warning unless you see some explosion nearby, and then it is too late

I guess the only reason why Alpha E can’t move down is due to the fact that there is only small number of players who have it, and usually they are ACE, I don’t think normal players will stand using tons of tanks without STAB at 9.0.(German players always have the better one but worse performance XD)
Not really, still as easy as ever. The speed makes it easy to kill 2 targets in one pass
Nope, it was hilariously broken at 8.7, still is at 9.0. I only ever use it in the 9.3 lineup anyway where its still exceptional
Again nope, flaring shutoff IRCCM seekers is a simple matter of technique, and the SNEBs line up perfectly with that technique. Facing the missile, flaring and pulling in a spiral. Only needs a small number of them, and no preflaring needed.
Only if the AA is directly behind the plane, easier just to watch for the muzzle flashes
And again, nope, the Alpha Jets and Etendard are fantastic planes
Not true, the speed makes it hard to hit any moving target.
It is hard at 8.7 before SPAA with HEVT, now it is getting a little better but still useless, I shot down a lots of it when I was playing 9.3
Again, the ground IR AAM is not IRCCM, and they will not be impact after launched, and the SNEB only effective with early all-aspect IR AAM, and also using these missiles need launch at least 2-3 to force aircraft waste all the energe, any flares after launch is like placebo.
180 degree, not only at 6.
Again, These are the aircraft that most urgently need to move down their BR.
It is true, very easy to hit moving targets
Plenty of players who don’t know how to fly it
Nope, flaring works after launch
Its +/- 50° horizontally, +/- 45° vertically, facing directly backwards
They do not. Ask for decompression such as moving planes like the Scimitar up, but they don’t need moving down. That’s just compression.
Not easy, or it will make a mess since 7.0.
Whatever they try, the result is the same.
Never works
Due to some bug that will work after it lock you the first time.
That is not for decompression; that is to put it at a reasonable BR, especially since France doesn’t have any 9.0 ground vehicles
Very easy
If they don’t know how to play
Always works
Nope
They are at a reasonable BR already
Far from easy.
Even they are the first 1%.
Never works.
Just keep it
They are not
