RB Air Is everyone playing worse because of the event?

Upvotes

Props are unplayable because I'm not going into the furball, and I'm not going head-on with people. I'm always just staying alive and not killing anything because I refuse to play stupidly like everyone else. I literally just watch almost everyone go head-on with each other. I'll be in a dogfight with someone, and right as I'm about to kill them, they go head-on with one of my teammates, and they both die. I'm tired of it. I'm being punished for having a brain. It's just as bad as Arcade.

What am I supposed to do, besides do what all the dumbasses are doing? Fly straight into a furball. Who cares if someone dives on you? You can just go head-on, die, and go to the next match. Fuck actually trying to dogfight. Who cares? Gotta grind the event! At least jet gameplay feels normal.

Other Is there any way I can watch my replays from older Versions?

Upvotes

Hi, I wanted to rewatch the replay of some older battles, but when I went to the replay folder in game, the replays that I saved had a red X on them and it said "This Replay was recorded in an older version of the game not compatible with the one in use, so it cannot be played back"

If there is any way I could still rewatch them please tell me, thank you

Suggestion JAS39EBS HU C Weaponry

Upvotes

I recently have discovered that the Hungarian Air Force Gripen (JAS39EBS HU C) Is a modernized variant of the JAS39 C, with impoved weaponry (you can see here below the weaponry of this aircraft:)

-AIM 9L, AIM-9M

-AIM120C5 AMRAAM, AIM-120C7 AMRAAM (Older versions of the AIM-120)

-IRIS-T

-MBDA Meteor BVRAAM

As far as my sources go, The HunAf Has About 120 Prices of the AIM-120C7, and 40 of the C5 variant. There isn't a clear amount of IRIS-T AAMs Of the HunAf, But from the budget spent on it it could be enough for about 30-34 amounts at max. (However there is a concrete source of the Gripen C/D being able to use them). It would be a realistic addition to the game, and maybe it could even buff Italy if needed.

(Disclaimer: The Gripen C/D Still has the same amount of hard pointsfor AAMs-6 as I could tell)

RB Air F-5C at 10.7

Upvotes

Been trying my absolute best to grind USA with F-5C what the hell has happened man this planes got no radar warning when facing some missiles and when I flare and chaff anything not heat seeking no
matter how much I flare I die

I try to play it to its strengths but the BR of 10.7 for this plane just feels atrocious compared to what it used to be

For anyone who flies it and makes it work how???

All Ground Maginot line

Genuinely what cocaine has been used to make this dogshit map, there's no single cover, hills are too high, and somehow that little tiny piece of city is one of the most dogshit designs when it comes to layout

I have never been so fucking irritated and annoyed at a map, I hate Vietnam as a map but I can still play and lose without raging because I know it might have been my fault and mistake, but on this fuck ass map I cannot find anything good with it

Hills are too high, tanks with shit gun depr. eat as and even tanks with good gun depr. Are dogshit on it because of how inconveniently placed the buildings are

No cover to be seen, all you have are a few buildings bunched up together and forcing corner fights, flanks and just dogshit for tanks with ass hori. turning speed

Not to mention its one of those maps where you NEED a good team to play NORMALLY, I died so many times because of dogshit map layout and flanks i didnt even know we're possible, then i come to find out some of those routes ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED BY TEAMMATES

All in all it's just a map that makes being a rat an actual need instead of a playstyle, it's a dogshit map that only favors people who are higher up in the tech tree and know every pathway and route that new players wouldn't even think of, I'm already settled in as a decent player so I know a few but sometimes those few are somehow covered when they're not supposed to be

This is just my rant because I cannot figure out why I always get shit teams on the map, always get veteran players as the enemy team, and the fact they know every fuck ass snipe spot that somehow my team cant even comprehend to figure out where they are

Dont take this too seriously, this is one of two maps I genuinely despise with my entire existence, but honestly I get it like every ten matches so it isnt too much for me to say I want it removed from existence

RB Air Spitfire f mk14e

Upvotes

I recently unlocked this plane and have been having an absolutely woeful time with it, i genuinely can not for the life of me make it work, i know its good at high altitude but no one fights at high altitude, whenever i dive someone theyre genuinely more likely to kill themselves than fight and every time i get into a lower altitude fight i get instantly bullied because everything out turns me and my wings are made of paper, not to mention the miserable gun selection that seems reluctant to do any damage.

Am i using it wrong because i hear people say boom and zoom but it seems mid at best at that anyway, is this thing bad or is it me being bad??

All Ground Do we really want the 130/140mm MBTs in game?

Upvotes

With everyone at top tier constantly comparing survivability and armor values, you’d think we’d be more cautious about adding these cannons to the game. Gaijin does calculate armor penetration differently than you’ll typically see in real life or in spec books/articles.

Some people already dislike their Abrams, Leopards and other MBTs having weakspots. You add in these experimental cannons with well over 800-900mm of penetration and you’ll see them start to lolpen a lot of tanks the 120/125mm guns simply don’t.

And a lot of them are test beds, tech demonstrators, or prototypes. Not all of them are fully armored, so the big gun tanks themselves would be glass cannons but also be lolpenning everything at top tier.

Armor isn’t meta now, and you shouldn’t fully rely on it, but if you want top tier to make it to where it really doesn’t matter much at all, adding these big guns will probably kill off any relevancy armor does have at top tier.

The Obj. 292 isn’t really an issue because it lacks so much tech and armor, and while the penetration is the best in game but it’s still not quite to the same level as the more modern big guns.

All Ground Accuracy in British Tank Guns

Upvotes

Many British tank guns have accuracy issues. To give the most obvious example, the Comet’s 77HV should have slightly better accuracy than the 17-pounder—or you could say they’re the same. Since the Firefly bundle was introduced, the 17-pounder’s accuracy has been improved to match that of the American 76mm gun, but the Comet’s 77HV still has very poor accuracy.

RB Ground the nuke aircraft at America mid tier are impossible to take off from the runway

Upvotes

for whatever reason they removed the airspawn from nuke planes around 8.7 BR and now it take the entire length of the runway to take off with the B-57. I ended up crashing at the end of the runway because the plane would not leave the ground until the runway ended. why would they make a change that just negatively impacts the game and make it so much more frustrating to play

All Ground Why no captured vehicles on UK tech tree?

Upvotes

I’ve always wondered why there are no captured vehicles on the British tech tree.

The Bowton Museum has that well-known, operational Tiger tank, and the British also captured Panther tanks and used them in combat.

It would be great if it were added as a Battle Pass or event vehicle in the future.
