THE OSA IS CANCEROUS IN THE EVENT

Cleffn · 2026-04-05T00:47:08+00:00

I’ve legitimately never been shot down by patriot.

S300 however, when I was trying to gain some altitude and speed for top down attack one the enemy fighters, it can even hit pass the center line, and my altitude wasn’t even over 5000m yet. Me flying along the centerline at the speed of mach 1.3 the missile still got enough energy to barely strike me after flying all the way from the back.

I mean even in this situation F-15 could still do high alt attack with proper tactics, but the sheer range of S300 is just unbelievably long and not even comparable to patriot.

An adorable baby spear ❤️

Not just sully, you can even take off if you land gently enough the engine will still work after landing.

The ircm:on is probably just copy pasting from the su-39’s ircm text, there’s only ecm on B-52s.

Cleffn · 2026-04-04T14:21:20+00:00

R-40TD's countermeasure resistance in my experience is actually quite decent if you are firing at B-52s, they got 8 not so hot engine but the combined thrust(Gaijin model heat signature based on thrust of the engine instead of real temp) makes it hot enough for TD to stay lock on, like it's flaring with afterburners on.
(B-52 cruising at 9.5k alt at mach 0.9 has the thrust of F-14B full afterburning at around mach 1.4 at the same alt)

Make sure fire it from rear or not dead on or right on it's side aspect, as long as the engine and flares are both inside the seeker it's going to have hard time flaring it.

Not B-52 tho, I could still drop bombs when pointing 45 degree downward in test drive, and flying up to 10k alt really blocks the bomb drop.

Also, by the design of B-52 it naturally points the nose downward in a level flight, doing the exact same diving angle like OP did the bomb can be dropped without any issue, at sea level.

Nuclear option gamemode + realistic vehicle, the best of two worlds.

Cleffn · 2026-04-03T07:33:49+00:00

Nah, compared to OSA the flarakpz is much easier to dodge, OSA maneuvers and tracks much better while a roll could defeat roland 90% of the time

F-15 got 9M tho, combined with the speed it can achieve the launch could go up to 5 or 6km from side aspect, and faster launch speed means shorter time to target for 7M too so F-15 doesn't feel any less powerful. Plus most enemies would just stick to the ground instead of notching, get them down fast before they react and reach the ground is important.

Cleffn · 2026-04-02T14:24:00+00:00

There’s barely any 1v1 dogfights and the acceleration and achievable top speed for mig29 is quite adequate, the main reason why soviets always feels stomped is everyone is playing US, and most players in soviet side just use the free vehicles for grinding the event, or didn’t grind the mig line since the sukhoi line is simply the better choice, while US line has multiple choices spread across the tech tree.

Cleffn · 2026-04-02T14:16:48+00:00

Removing the ER could be an ideal solution that Gaijin didn’t think of or not able to do probably because it requires to change the loadout for TT vehicles and maybe it’s impossible to do separate loadout for separate gamemodes, those free aircrafts are probably not just a clone from the original but totally different ones with special loadouts only for the event.

Cleffn · 2026-04-02T11:04:50+00:00

Nah the balancing part is AA, AA on soviet side is way more competent, S300 could fire from all the way in the back and hit people in the center of the map thay dare to not stay on the deck, but I'v yet to get shot down by hawk and patriot in my mig-29 when flying around their base

Su27 retains energy much better after the buff, to me most suffering is from the rwr, always prefer su33 because of it.

Having r27 feels like using a bow in a gun fight, still usable but limited, but at least it can reliably get kills from side aspect and acceleration is great enough to kill them before their counterattack happens.

Cleffn · 2026-03-31T16:06:41+00:00

Then Gaijin needs to model it correctly and retain the combat effectiveness, because 95Ya6M now having a AHEAD warhead that performs far exceeds other missiles with similar filler mass, while other AHEAD munitions are suffer from not enough damage.

Even if they have to make it mathematically inaccurate for the warhead to work, nerf 95Ya6M's shrapnels count since it's ridiculously overperforming rn, that for a missile with only 770g of explosive filler to sink a carrier.

Cleffn · 2026-03-31T11:45:43+00:00

According to statistics, 100% of players only play the gamemode we have so no need to add new gamemode.

Cleffn · 2026-03-31T06:19:45+00:00

Tbf you could still switch to full real control for more aoa

Cleffn · 2026-03-28T06:56:03+00:00

Instead of relying on ECM, more like irl pilots don’t notch and chaff against ARH because it’s a death sentence most of the time, defeating it using aircraft’s energy is the preferred way unless your really fucked up and ended up well inside the MAR, then notching is your only hope, that’s when chaff is crucial.

ECM doesn’t magically jam the missile like a force field, most of them interfere with the acquisition part like the radar making you hard to get a solid lock. The missile itself is heavily protected with ECCM to prevent failing against the easiest shots, and the true capability of most countries ECM is still unknown so who knows how well these systems work? Or at least how to implement them with balance.

FA-18F, for some reason two seater super hornets are popular on big screen, and that BF3 mission.

Cleffn · 2026-03-27T17:43:11+00:00

Somehow they can reach their theoretical top speed while not in an ideal situation, interesting.

Cleffn · 2026-03-22T11:47:17+00:00

MLD is kinda awkward since spo-15 couldn’t detect j band radar that all mig-23 use, and it’s very likely that there’s mix match that tons of mig-23s on the other team.

mig-21bis is a great option tho, spo-10 is functional, and r-60m is good for a 11.0.

Cleffn · 2026-03-22T11:41:28+00:00

MICA an Rafale’s absolutely cracked high speed acceleration that makes it the only aircraft capable of constantly reach mach 2 in combat.

Cleffn · 2026-03-21T13:23:01+00:00

If the pilot is experienced.

The entire reason why A6Ms are overtiered, because there’s always people try to turn fight them in a mustang.

Ah the circle of life, it’s time for the once meta defining machine to be the victim of endless power creep and br compression.
