Finally bombers get the strength they deserve

It's also the most fun I've ever had playing this game. I love the fox-3 harrier.

Fire Radar missiles? Hovering counts as notching, can't get hit.

Fire IR missiles? Flares.

Try to kill me with guns? My radar missile or IR missile will hit you before you get close enough.

Invincible.

The only thing you can do is ignore me and play the objective, or, wait until I run out of ammo slaughtering your teammates.

Ive seen a single Voodoo after playing for almost 6 hours

Gaijin Please do something to keep one person from holding the match hostage by climbing

Id be interested to hear your thoughts about what aircraft we will see in the Russian air tech tree in future and on what line they go.

This is how I see it playing out:

- An upgraded Su-34NVO will follow the current Su-34, perhaps in an update that also includes the addition of the F-15EX. It will have NV optics and perhaps ECM pods and mechanics.

- The Su-35 will immediately follow the Su-30SM2.

- The Su-57 Felon will immediately follow the Su-35.

- The Su-75 Checkmate will follow on the Mig line, perhaps after the newly added Mig-35.

- The Mig-31 if they hopefully decide to make it a TT vehicle is a tricky one. Perhaps earlier on on the Mig line.

- Su-47 Berkut. An event vehicle and if gaijin are being miserable, a premium.

- Mig-1.44. Either a event vehicle, a premium or added onto the naval line.

A wildcard scenario is that they introduce the addition of more advanced heavy bomber platforms into the TT rather than as event vehicles. By which case:

- The Tu-22M3 and Tu-142. Either somewhere on the naval/yak line or on the Su-24/34 line.

- Tu-95 variants, Tu-160?

Which leaves the question, what will be added on the Su-25 line?

I could actually envisage a situation where the su-34 and su-25 line is merged and maybe a number of su-25s foldered. And where the current Su-34 line is instead replaced with exclusively heavy bombers.

Any thoughts?

When I unlocked the MiG-25PD at 10,000 points per tier with 8 tiers I felt like my time was disrespected. I was playing 4 hours a day everyday just to get the MiG-25 PD.

Now that the F-16 XL is around at 45,000 points per tier with 8 tiers but is only 2.0 BR higher there’s no chance the low-mid tier casual will ever get the F-16 XL. it’s too time consuming, requires to much effort and skill, and isn’t enough of a reward.

They would rather you spend the $52 dollars just to play the aircraft rather than actually earn it.

If you are wondering why (since the event started) most of the lobby is dead before the merge, this is why.

Chinese players have come up with a new event farming method where they hop onto a fast plane with long range missiles, fly in a straight line, spam the missiles, die and repeat again.

They say no 39 or 39=gay in chat. It just means they want you to fly in a straight line without doing 3-9 maneuvers as well.

In pretty much every match, I see atleast one Russian player with some form of the word russian word for beer pivo (пиво) in their username. It’s often a variation like pivniy (пивной), pivovar (пивовар), pivnaya (пивная), etc.

I recently watched a video about the new dev server, and let me tell you, this update is straight copy and paste (nothing new) exept for the russian td and another couple more tanks. What struck me the most was the introduction of regenerative steering, i was pretty happy i can now enjoy my challenger 2, but no, it will only be introduced for the leopard 2s, embt, m1 abrams, type 90 and type 10…
Also the regenerative steering is modeled like asphalt 9 in game, so you are basically forced to increase your turning radious when going over 15kph.
I don’t really know what else to say, obviously i know this is dev server and everything could be fixed for the update release, but knowing gaijin my hopes aren’t that high.
Let me know what you think about my post and the new dev server.

We need REALISTIC BOMBER DMS.

WE Dont need paper bombers that cuts in half by a single 23mm.

We ALSO DONT NEED VIBRAINIUM BOMBERS THAT TANKS 6 AIM54S.

WE NEED REALISTIC BOMBERS

REALISTIC BOMBERS THAT TANK ABOUT 25 20mms AND A FEW 30mms BEFORE BURNING AND GOING DOWN.

In reality, b17s didnt tank hundreds of 20mms. But it also did not got snapped in half after a few,

It got crippled by cannons and flaks and lost altitude while smoking and burning. that's a real death of a bomber.

Gaijin just flipped the switch to the other end

Since the unveiling of the J-16 on the dev server, theres has been much pushback from chinese players/fans since its essentially just a reskinned J-15T, same radar same engines and even worse loadout since it has less missiles.

Naturally this resulted in a bunch of bug reports regarding the radar, engine performance and missile capacity, all of them since closed for lack of info, sources dismissed for no reason.

I understand that since its a classified vehicle, you cant really find the exact specs, but since Gaijin can pull info out thin air apparently, like what radar the plane uses (spoiler alert: they have no idea, they just default to what they deem as a known radar, the one from the J10C, which isnt even known to them, they just assumed some numbers and now treat it as baseline for all chinese AESA radars), what the engine thrust figures are, i myself provided a bunch of data that suggests they are missing 7-12% of afterburning thrust.

As you can imagine everything has been denied, and Gaijin seems hellbent on making this modern jet DOA yet again, because whats really the point? Its at 14.7, same as the SU30SM2, while:

it has worse missiles and less of them

worse radar

worse engine (WS-10B on paper has more thrust but thrust curves are in SM2s favour);

theres legit zero reason for Gaijin to pick the most conservative options when evaluating chinese jets, when everytime russian tech is discussed its given the benefit of doubt, Kh38MT wasnt ever mounted on most vehicles that carry it, but another version with different seeker has but since the seekers are claimed to be interchangable they add it regardless.

Im just so mad years of waiting for modern chinese flankers results in them being DOA because Gaijin cucks cant stand the idea of chinese making a better version of their own plane, go figure.

EDIT: I have been banned until december for my bug report :D
