did they mess up IR missiles recently ? my 9Ms and AAM3s aren't hitting SHIT these past few days, but there's nothing in the changelog. it started like last week or so, at least 2 days ago but no more than 2 weeks ago

leo 1A5 stays at 9.3, but Leo 1A1 does go down to 8.7 ? a little weird. there really needs to be 2-3 more increments between 8.0 and 9.7, 9.3 compression is insane in ground (like, khalid vs chieftain 900, type 74 (G) vs OF40 MTCA. all 9.3)

why's no one playing the russian side ? they have great top tier air to ground stuff and it doesn't seem like they get slapped out of the air above 2500m like the nato side. maybe the rewards are just not worth it for premium players ? SL's fine but RP is 2-3x less than equivalent time in ARB

lol. there was already no real reason to take it over the fox at 8.0, but 8.3 is just insane. it's a sidegrade to the regular 7.7 scimitar imo, narrow gen 1 thermals are a gimmick and the LRF alone isn't worth the size increase (HE magnet, the "spoiler" on top is modelled)

What one hour of ASM gameplay, and 18 sea eagles (128kg SAP) hits (some were intercepted) gets you in nuclear escalation. i got more points with FA-18s crashing near me (2) than by killing 3 lutjens and severing one aircraft carrier. like, i got 2x more RP with my landings than all ASM hits/kills.

are auto trackers broken for helis ? even when they fly very predictably, an APFSDS round right in the very center of the lead bubble doesn't seem to hit most the time. drones are a pain to hit but if you have an accurate gun and they fly straight, you can hit them, unlike helicopters. anyone else ?

this thing is crazy bad

30 degrees max of turret traverse to either side on a huge WHEELED bus with no neutral steering (well, wheeled), a 14.9 seconds reload on aced crew and really mid mobility.

the AS90 at .3 BR higher is just so much better with neutral steering with a 5 sec reload for 3 shells then ~8-9 seconds for the rest

i'm having issues evading radar missiles in the F-15J (12.7), is there something i'm missing ? people in videos seem to just eyeball notches and drop 3 chaff, but ive tried to put my RWR at different degrees (80 trough 100), drop chaff in big burst and all that but it just doesn't work most the time

it works okay in other planes, i don't have nearly as much trouble in the 12.7 grippen for example. R27R, R27ER, AMRAAMs and sometimes 7Ps are just really hard to evade, R-77 aren't as bad for some reason. it goes for both short range and long range, i align my RWR, fly straight for a few seconds, drop chaff in bursts every 2 seconds or so, but it just doesn't lose track on the RWR, and it continues to maneuver if i break off to evade IOG. it's also pretty hard to even align myself since the F15J has RWR blindspots on the top so you have to do a guess thenuse the rudder, or go sideways but that means no RWR
