sooo then, is the RaktJpz 2 (HOT) a whole new vehicle? I hope it's just modifications for the existing one or else we're about to see a lot more new ATGMs added.

Fastest when leveling out of a dive but it won't outaccelerate MiGs

>>154590848

considering the only thing really stopping the F9F-5 in game from doing anything against MiGs is speed, I think the -8 will do just fine

>>154590989
Oh I'm not saying it shouldn't be good, but I doubt it will be the MiG removal machine people think it will be they said the same about the Hunter, and we all know how that turned out

>>154591209

who on earth was saying it will be a MiG remover

people never hyped the -8 up as that, they hyped it up as at least equal to every other final tier jet

they're too good for 8.0 but too shit to stay at 9.0

so the logical conclusion obviously is 10.0 BR for end game jets

>>154595086
this

move top tier 9.0s such as hunter, sabres, mig-15/17 and cougar to 10.0 and leave everything else as is

such an easy solution and gaijin flat out refuses to do anything about jets

The F9F-2 isn't

>>154596367

It still has 9.0 performance

>>154596432
The La-15/174, Yak-30, and other planes can compete just fine.

>>154596530
then that means they can compete with F-2 sabres

armament matters far less than performance

>tfw can't fly or spade planes you like because nothing to unlock

>>154596841
Yes, it matters less, but it still matters, and without the very good velocity cannons, the sabre isn't that terrifying a threat.

This takes the cake for most retarded comment that might not be bait I've seen all week. It's so retarded that I'm hesitant to even say it's not bait, but you seem so genuine.

Never mind the fact that the 229 is a flying wing and the drastic difference with the F9F-8 it has, the Cougar has an entire two control surfaces the 229 doesn't. Or do you think the Cougar is going to yaw with its airbrakes instead of its rudder too?

The first real attack helicopter wasn't introduced until 1967 (AH-1G). Even if they did stretch the timeline that far, which would require a number of large changes to gameplay, there would still only be US vehicles up until the 70's. Add on the fact that you'd need a new vehicle category because they wouldn't make sense in the aircraft trees and it just straight up wont happen.

Yeah, in the 1960s. Keep in mind that the A-37 is now in the "passed to development" section of the forum.

No, no it is not in the 1960s. It's still approximately the end of the Korea war.

Passed to development means absolutely fuck all. Take a look at how many suggestions have been passed to development on the forums, it's just Gaijin's way of letting players think their suggestions do anything.

It means that Gaijin is not AGAINST introducing it. A similar era vehicle is now not out of the question according to more than just that CEO interview.

>>154619121
Yeah, you keep believing that. Meanwhile I'll continue looking at the topics "Passed to development" over three years ago that Gaijin haven't made any mention of since.

Meanwhile, there are still no planes ingame that breach the cutoff date of the end of the Korea war. which has been the same cutoff date for years now. Meaning it actually has evidence, unlike your claim of the 1960s.

>>154616156
What are you talking about? The T29 straight up cannot be penned even with super high AP rounds. Name a single other tank in its tier that has virtually no front weakness on its turret.

>>154619121
Passed to development is Gaijins way of making people stop suggesting the same aircraft over and over again, by saying they're "looking into it". Then they can just refer anyone else asking for the same thing to that same topic.

Name one. I'll wait. There's hardly any other tanks in tier 4 that you straight up cannot pen the front turret except for in a few places. The T29 CANT be penned.

>>154620724

Not him, but I once got a lucky shot on a T29 at 500 meters and somehow managed to hit its turret ring, one-shotting it. Of course, that "weakpoint" will disappear once shell diameter is introduced. :^)

Still falls into the "Approximate end of the Korea war" friendo, and by no means allows the cutoff date to be 1960s lmao.

>>154620760
T29 can be penned in the turret mantlet friendo, it's only 200mm thick. You just suck really bad at aiming.

But ferdinand is a massive shitbox that has more ammoracks and fuel tanks than armor, you shitter.

>>154621081
That's not really a huge target at any range outside of 50 meters, especially considering RNG crew skills making shells diverge.

>>154621328
nigger the entire mantlet is 200mm apart from the extreme outer edges, and as well you can penetrate the lower plate. It is LITERALLY the same weakpoint layout as the Tiger II.

>>154621291
carry more than 15 shells in a t29 and you have a full ammo rack.every time i carried more than 15 i got ammo racked. every goddamn round.

>>154621623
considering they designed the t29 with the tiger 2 in mind or at least to compete with the tiger 2, i can logically see them having similarities. even if this is just a video game.

The breech also recoils straight through the top of the turret if you fire straight down, but don't tell Gaijin because they'll probably just nerf it's depression instead of fixing the visual model.

I actually enjoy facing tigers even now when I no longer man one as I grind burgers. But i finally understand the dread. I actually worry now when i face a tiger 2. I never knew this fear when I too was in a tiger 2. Now I wiggle my mantlet and actually aim before I get shot and killed. It's funny how before I never actually feared the Tiger because I was in one. Now, even though I'm the same br, I feel a certain amount of self awareness that I will be killed just as easily as he can kill me. I'm more conscientious and don't rush into battle like I used to now that I am in a t29 and don't use this baby.

It's not about having a lot of ammoracks, it's about that fedinand can be shot in the superstructure and even if it won't get penned (and it will most of the times) the roof is so thin and there is so much flammable stuff underneath it that he can be killed by APHE exploding outside, and i'm not even talking about what HE can do to him and about his cheeks with fuel tanks right behin them.

The idea was that with more turrets you could have more concentration on different targets in the same target.
In machineguns this works because of the high fire rate
This idea did not carry over well to tanks because of the low fire rate and heavier shells, also more moving parts means more failures yadda yadda.

The hillarious thing is when I fly my nazi Tempest, I keep winning dogfights with griffon spits simply because I refuse to do horizontal manouvers.

If we are both low energy/same altitude I tend to force a stall because at the initial point of contact every spitnigger is going to turn, no exception. Then I land on his back and usually don't get off.

well, Tempest rolls pretty average below 500 but above that it's pretty good. also you are one of the fastest planes below 2km. I don't usually fly the V (I mostly fly the Temp II) but yeah, fly it like a slightly faster climbing anton I guess. You already seem to have a grasp of dogfighting so you're probably better with it than me.

for 190 I usually come in with a higher energy then pull a turn before the headon connects so by the time the enemy passes me I'm already in the process of changing direction. Works most of time (works with any good rolling plane like Spitfire XVI or XIV FR too). basically if the turn to hit me they can't pull a turn fast enough and they bleed enough energy so I can cancel the turn and pull up then come down.

It sounds pretty boring, but it comes intuitively in a match. (ofc good pilots would just extend into a shallow dive or pull up when I fake).

Lincoln would make a great 6.0 bomber.

Improvements across the board, but that dorsal dual Hispanos would delete planes.

below 50% WR implies you do not contribute to the match enough, therefore, shit.

post good matches!

>>154633146
Yeah I suppose, if I tried doing a split-s in 190 I'd end up with a mile wide radius.

I'm not really knowledgable in aerobatics so I end up doing a lot of stuff by trial and error, working out with time, what works and what doesn't. But I gotta say the Tempest is one of the only planes in game that I think I know how to fly.

The funny thing is I'd probably get rekt by german planes since I only have the experience fighting british/american planes.

Neat, thanks.

It's odd I seem to do well in the A5 and 8 but the Tempest V kills me everytime. Then again the fact that people still try to headon 190s might help.

It's a problem of not being clunky enough so you get shit like Dayz/rust clones everywhere and not interesting enough so you don't get a big community backing.
Arma 3 was advertised as a sort of future based combat sim, early concept art had a tank looking like that weird Polish prototype that came out recently with a railgun but it was canned.
So what do we get then?
Less interesting shit than before that's what.
>All the guns for NATO are 6.5mm meme guns in "caseless" that are boring polymer polygons or boring polymer polygons in a standard rifle configuration
>Fucking broken thermal optics and NVGs that far out paced what gameplay should be set at
>completely uninteresting vehicles in baby vomit polygon green or baby shit polygon brown camos
>Turrets? Nah heres robot gun turret
Which is cool but it's ugly as fuck.
>A bunch of ugly cars, some ripped straight from real life and I doubt the original creators got payment (I'M FUCKING LOOKING AT YOU STRIDER)
>1 meme DLC
(Gokarts, and I actually enjoy it believe it or not)
>2 DLCs that require you to purchase to use the content
(The content being a shitload of overpowered guns and a few helicopters that are incredibly useful)
THEN TANOA HITS
Everyone thinks it's gonna be an Operation Arrowhead type expansion

ehhhh
kinda
1 decently sized map, another fucking island mind you because making a full sized 10+km by 10+km map is so fucking hard, 2 helicopters that are fucking broken as shit (one more than the other), a bunch of shit that was ported from ARMA 2 but looks incredibly out of place among the polymer polygons, new factions that are fucking broken (lookin at you chinks with the type 115), and probably some other bullshit I forgot

For 35 fucking bucks.
Thirty Five Fucking Dollars.
It's a good amount of content but for $35, a content expansion for an already existing game I expect more. Not only that but everything feels out of place. In Arma 2 it was clunky, it was dirty, it was SHIT. Arma 2 was SHIT it was fucking BAD, but at the very least everything felt like it fit. Everything meshed well together, you had Nato fighting the Russians, the Russians fighting the middle easterners, Nato fighting the MEs, and it all felt like you were actually fighting in the proxy wars of the Cold War. It worked.
Arma 3?
Don't have that, you don't have an established conflict, all the guns either feel too powerful or too weak.

I don't fucking know, sorry for rambling.

>>154634008
best thing about the new expansion is the HK416s there magically has less recoil than the F2000 and Tavor ingame. also seriously what the fuck is up with recoil in arma3? trained soldiers don't let weapons climb like a retard.

if it was a competitive game people would call p2w.

:>>154634110
don't forget the "simulator" actually has fucking weapon stat bars like BF or COD.

I think you mean "Hk416/7" friend.
Do you also mean the INVISIBLE TO THERMAL GHILIE SUIT THEY ADDED?
OR HOW ABOUT THE INVISIBLE TO THERMAL MASKS?
OR HOW ABOUT THAT SUPPRESSED 12.7mm SNIPER RIFLE IN THE DLC THAT DOES 20+ DAMAGE?
OR THE HELICOPTER THAT IS LITERALLY A FUCKING HIND ON STEROIDS HUH?
OR HOW ABOUT THE FUCKING TYPE 115 WITH A CASELESS 6.5mm AND A PINPOINT ACCURATE .50 BEOWULF UNDER BARREL GUN
OR THE AC130 THAT CAN FUCKING VTOL?

>>154634307
While I'm not a fan of the stat bars they're not intrinsically bad, when comparing weapons and armor it's better to be able to read numbers of course but again stat bars do not mean ARMA 3 is shit It's everything else about ARMA 3 that means it's shit.


Also to clear up:
By no established conflict I mean they had to make one up rather than use history.
By broken factions I mean one (In the DLC) has a thermal/nightvision helmet
By 35$ I mean 35 fucking dollars
By another fucking Island I mean another fucking small island but this time with other small islands around it, with only one of them being connected to the mainland by a short bridge meaning comfy longhauls across chernarus in your UAZ in a convoy are no longer a thing and the bridge is so short there's not even the unease you'd get from crossing the bridge on Tavianna never knowing what's on the other side.

And by meshed well I mean the M16/M4 is a good counterpart to the Ak74/47/M that the Russians used, the Hind, Mi8, and Ka52 were good counterparts to the Huey, Cobra/Apache, and CH-47
Everything had an equal
But in ARMA 3 not only are all the tanks ugly as fuck some are just straight up broken.

STILL LOOKING AT YOU Xian Y32

>i would've done much better than this shit if I actually did what the planes were built to do, bomb shit.
soft targets give SL but hardly any RP, only ground targets that are worth something are medium/heavy tanks and pillboxes, which at br 3.3 are rare outside Frontlines mode. Bases provide some RP, but without heavy bomber take forever to kill.
The most effective way to make RP in arcade is killing planes, and I'm pretty sure you would make less RP if mode would actually allow you bomb shit.

wonder of they give it HEAT-FS, otherwise it will be useless.
Also, T5 tank destroyer branch should get Super Sherman, as endgame TD
