The ingame sale is over, the Gaijin Store sale started today.
Nope, pack sales just started, it’s a 2 part sale. Not that progressed so I haven’t played missiles yet much besides the god awful ones on the f5c. ARH seems better from what I can tell but I really don’t mind either.
really sucks the J7D isn’t on sale
Alright, yes, I was looking at some packs. Thanks.
Well, you’ll have to wait on the ARH ones because the JA37DI F21 isn’t on sales. ARH are better but that means you get to a tier where everyone has them (let the SPAMRAAM begin) I think it’s better to start from a point where there are not so many of them. Considering the aircraft that are on sale, I’ve heard that the MiG-23ML is good though it can get you uptiered to 12.7, it’s okay. There’s a bunch of Phantoms too, for example the Japanese one at 11.0 or the british at 12.0. Forget the German Tornado unless you want to grind the country as it can only hold 2 missiles (if you want to bomb bases you can do it but that’s it, they are All-aspect IR missiles though).
The Kfir isn’t good either as it has only two missiles and they are worse than the ones on the F-5C. The Saab J35XS only holds IR missiles too though it has six AIM-9Ps (rear-aspect).
So, depending on the country you want to grind and what you want to try, you can have the ones I’ve mentioned. Remember to test them before purchasing them, though, it’s always a good idea to see how it performs. Also, when you get in a match, try having all the controls binded and all of that.
Is russian air worth grinding? also what about chinese air? I was also thinking about the mig23ml but would rather get the j7d (although it isn’t on sale sadly)
Porsche Tiger Command Variant, T29, T14, TAM 2IP, and 2S38 if you wanted to be hated by everyone. A2D is also great for CAS and will also make you hated by everyone. Ju-288 also good for CAS (2x 2500kgs) tho its a big bomber
Chinese air is quite good imo, and has one of the largest possibilities for future additions due to their military scaling up over the decades
Would really love having it if they end up adding the J20
I’ll def check all of these out, thanks a lot
Mostly looking for more air suggestions, think I got all the ground candidates summed up
Sort of, depending which line you’re going to, e.g., Su-30SM is a Jack-of-all-trades, but the research time you’ll need to have is pretty big to be fair.
MiG-23ML missiles are very nice but the radar doesn’t help. I recommend you going with the SAHR missile with napalm bombs, in this case is up to you if you pick air targets first then bomb the bases or virse and versa.
If you plan to ever get into Air Sim, then the Tornado WTD61 is rather solid at 11.3. Hard aircraft to do well with in ARB, but managable. (Id definetly buy it if I had much interest in grinding the German TT). Also to me looks like a really fun mud mover for GRB that would pair fairly well with the Leoaprd you already have
Mig-23ML is always an OP choice
J35XS is rather under BRed and looks interseting. Tricky at times, but looks like fun gameplay otherwise.
I’m sure they will yeah
in my personal experience I think the worth it air prems on sale rn are the f5c, the lazur-m (if you want to grind germany fast without bombing this is just what you gotta do), the 23ML, the adtw (because japan really doesnt have another grinder, not because its good), and the canard, mayyyybe the XS too but realistically I havent enjoyed it since they changed the fm again, although it still likely is an objectively good plane
Ground I’d say t29 (its just a really good tank in most respects imo), tiger 2 SLA, and I dont really have experience with any of the others so I cant comment much on them besides knowledge of people who are better at the game than me when I asked them about it
Defyn has a sales guide up now if you want more info
Ariete
Japanese F-86
F-5C
MiG-21S
Wyvern S.4
Or wait for these to return:
T-2(Z)
J 29D
J 35A
Fuji by far is the most worthwhile premium, OP reload and cracked teammates garanteed
Sorry, for answering so late but as @Константинович7 said, it depends on the lines you go down to. Chinese air looks fun too, though I haven’t played anything on it. If you really want the J-7D, nothing is stopping you. I bought the Ra’am Sagol and it wasn’t on sale (and it isn’t right now). What I mean to say is that you can wait for the sales or just buy it if you really want to. Take into account when the next sales might be and think whether waiting is worth it or not.
M1 clickbait or KVT are both good. Type 90 Fuji is good. Germany has doo doo planes tho.
Probably will wait and see if I get burned out, got plenty of other stuff to grind till then, think I’ll get the mig 23ml or t29, thanks for all the help, I really appreciate the detailed answers
Mig23 is really only great if you love bombing, 11.7 is not a good MM spot to be in because the f4s might be the most numerous plane in ARB and it will always be keeping you up. 2 missiles albeit great and a bad fm + MTI radar.
Mig21 bis that is on sale is a much better grab.
Russia has been due a new high tier premium jet for years.
Mig23 ml used to be great but its been nerfed into the ground and deals with years of powercreep at this point. If you do look at reviews of it at least limit the search for that info to the past year.
