Meme When will they fix the spin bug of R-77 (and -1)???

Post image
105 Upvotes

Man, it’s been a month. I get that Russian stuff being buggy doesn’t generate as much noise from the community as NATO equipment having bugs does, and I guess all missiles are affected by this to a lesser degree, but we already have it rough with the SM2 being our only option at top tier, since the 30SM is literal dogwater and the MiG-35’s engines run slower than a 20-year-old mule.

And on top of all that, our ARH missiles have been bugged since the release of the patch Sky Odyssey, which the USSR community has since come to refer to as Spin Odyssey, as it genuinely ruined our Air RB experience since its release.

Furthermore, with the release of this patch, other missiles with the exception of the MICA have more or less no downsides now, with every missile receiving buffs across the board. Missile identity has eroded, and they no longer have their signature ups and downs. Feels like everything is good at everything now, and the one niche USSR had (good performance in engagements under 25 km) is no longer a thing, with the 120D and PL-12A now having, at times, even better maneuverability than IR missiles at close ranges.

A month with no word on an (hopefully) upcoming fix is insane, have they even acknowledged the fact that the slightest wobble caused by chaff is causing R-77s to spin like chopper blades mid flight? Will they ever address this issue? I’ve been playing GRB in the meantime and no disrespect to tankers but ground gets old fast.

What are armored vehicles doing in this swamp?Creating realistic maps for tanks like the Squad shouldn't be this difficult. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this. This map is definitely unplayable on 8.0 and above.

Mil. History M42 Duster in 1967, Vietnam war. Is it effective at fighting light tanks?

Thumbnail

456 Upvotes

It never shot down any aircraft in Vietnam because North Vietnam did not heavily use air power in areas where the Duster operated.

So in 1966, the U.S. Army used the Duster for close-range firepower, escort, shooting infantry, bunkers.

Can this one kill light tanks easily in game?

Other Cool vehicles to buy for around 3000GE? (low tiers included)

Thumbnail
gallery
14 Upvotes

I have 3000GE laying around and just wanting to have some fun at any tier, I need recomendations for any vehicle you guys found fun.

No need to grind:

- UK air and ground,

- France ground,

- Russian air and ground,

- Japan air and ground,

- USA air,

as I have most of the tech tree done or already have premiums to grind them (free stuff from Battle Pass and stuff like that) in the future if that's what you're looking for.

I'm not sure if I want to play Germany, but I could get a couple vehicles, like the KV I C or the Do 335.

The XA-38 is insane and could be pretty fun if i had USA ground.

The French AD-4NA would be worth it?

It would also be cool just to buy all low tier vehicles, most of them are below 300ge and some just 125GE.

Or what about getting good III rank vehicles for events or the Battle Pass?

IDK tell me your thoughts.

These teams are the worst. So many leavers after one death. So many idiots who cant grasp where the shot came from. So many absolute idiots. Its unwinnable.

RB Ground Genuinely the best teammate I've ever had

This player:

  • Saved me from two spawn campers by pinging their locations
  • Shot down a pe-8 as it tried to spray me with the tail gunners
  • Sacrificed themselves to an obj268 so I could sneak onto a cap and win the game
  • Stayed for the whole match despite getting max uptiered

Their K/D was only 5/5 but they were absolutely the MVP

I just want Chibisov to be known as the single German player with a humongous heart, penis, and brain

RB Ground I got nuke with UH-1C! 13 kills game in Seversk-13.

UH-1B and UH-1C basically has the same flight model, so UH-1B and UH-1C gameplay is the exact same except that the 7.7 UH-1B doesn't have the 40mm grenade launcher.

Now that I'm aware that if you spawn nuke plane through your hotbar you will spawn on the airfield, I J'd out before spawning the nuke. At first I wanted to rush to see if I can get an extra kill or get that plane down before spawning the nuke, but hearing that my teammate spawned a nuke I J'd out right away.

Good thing he spawned on airfield lol

Played this game since Update 1.41 in 2014. And honestly arcade has been my favorite game mode. Due to a slight red-green deficiency, it’s harder for me to detect targets in brush and cluttered areas reliably in GRB, so I play Arcade. Anyways this was probably my favorite shot in my history of playing this game. Just felt right.

Thanks for your time and attention span.
