Are there plans to decompress the BR at Air RB? A mach 2 jet is currently capable of facing early cold war jets from 8.7+. Even at top tier, anything that does not have good missiles should not be facing other jets that do. From what there currently is in the game, 11.0 should be the minimum for decompression. Doing so would be a massive QoL improvement because no jet would be left in the dark and I'm sure it would bring in a lot more players, and also maintain the current playerbase.
I've seen some posts about 11.3/.7 floating around on reddit. If you ask me, jets with op missiles (Aim9Js, Magics, R60s, etc) should have a seperate BR at 11.3, and 11.0 and below is everything else like the F4C and F100 and Mig19PT and Mig21F13
fat chance there. The player base isn't big enough to justify a decompression of BRs. There are too many planes for too many nations to widen the playing field, so to speak. They either need to remove some vehicles or those people who play the same vehicles for 200 hours need to make piece with the fact that they are not going to experience esports level balancing (LOL). Accept it.
BLODKORPEN, I think that 80% of the playerbase at top tier would happily wait for a fairer matchmaker. Another solution is to make the teams smaller, maybe 8 v 8s max because currently we have around 13 v 13s that only serve to create furballs of jets.
The Mirage was the mainstay of the Royal Australian Air Force for a long time. I lived near Newcastle in New South Wales, and the mirages were based at Williamtown Air Base little to the north of the city. As a young man I remember them flying out on training exercises, or heading for aerial displays on days like ANZAC Day or Australia Day. What a beautiful aircraft! My second favorite behind the SAAB Viggen.
Gaijin please fix the serious grind problem that is in war thunder right now please if you haven't already watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqE3vJxPKe0 I think the Scottish koala makes some amazing points on how you are advertising new tech and new players are joining only to find that months of grinding tech trees even after buying premiums, eagles, and premium account time turns many players away from the game.
7:15 and 7:35, what's with the repeated voice-over re. losing the tailplane, changing the intakes and adding radar? Decidedly weird that nobody picked that up during editing...
could you pls stop destroying the game ? Fix the awfull maps, the awfull REALISTIC matchmaking / teambalancing, stop putting vehiles in the low BRs ( F-104 9.7 )
now that you add missile to naval vessels will you give Albatros-Klasse (143) its 4 missiles? it has 4 MM38 Exocet in reality
These are absolutely different missiles, game is not ready for them yet.
_Condottiero_, so you are sating game is ready for Khrizantema-S with radar guide missile but not albatros?????
Hey Bruce, plz can you answer if Ground Forces will get APS Trophy Systems. It can help agianst spawnkills from choppers and proximity/time fused ATGM's?
mirage is trash ... 1 turn and it loses all of its speed .... not to mention it doesnt have the power to get back to a decent speed.... mig21 is better in every way ... even turning
You shouldn't be actively turning in top tier to begin with. Plus if it's mostly stock, it will seem heavy.
All answers (1)EasternRays, fully upgraded ... and u need to turn to evade missiles ... also it cant compete at 10.3 ... i allways go for a mirage since i know they cant do anything ..... clearly u cant read aswell
new jet bombers in the future?
Remember that poll from a while back. The F 104 was one of the things I asked for. Nice.
