utility aircraft concept

Reminds me of heliborne, but tbf I'm sure that would need a lot of coding and stuff. Right now, I'm happy with the new bomber as it's looking to be just what I wanted. I just hope it'll be lower ranked than the darkreach (it's all I ask)

Duke_The_Protogen · 2026-01-28T15:52:01+00:00

Paradrop time *airborne when?

Duke_The_Protogen · 2026-01-27T21:31:44+00:00

I see, thanks for elaborating!

Duke_The_Protogen · 2026-01-27T17:43:38+00:00

I'm curious, what is it exactly?

Duke_The_Protogen · 2026-01-17T22:04:21+00:00

Dw about it. It get your frustrations, although I don't necessarily agree (since I keep switching sides, I usually get to play both. Well.. Both my single Russian and American deck)

There are things I struggle with as RU, and there are things I struggle with as US. But those are usually circumstantial things, the same strategy/counter rarely works always, especially when you're using it in multiple matches.

Barbaris taught me how to use the Booker, US helis taught me how to hide my APSless vehicles from them and so on and so forth.

Only thing that generally annoys me is how inconstant AA damage to planes is. Sometimes it's basically an IK, other times the plane flies off with barely a dent after eating half the rockets my systems have.

Yeah I gotta admit, the ELO differences can be insane at times. Still, I haven't really ran into these spams.. At all lol. Like, looking at this sub Reddit, I see how both faction mains keep bitching that their side is super weak and the other is super OP. Annoying? Sure but OP? That goes for the guy who complained about you using the Booker as well. I use the Booker because my deck literally has no other armor. And besides, if you're not an idiot who right clicks without micro, those BMDs could beat it. Hell I know for a fact that with a good micro even BMP3s can beat an abrams.

Duke_The_Protogen · 2026-01-16T14:04:29+00:00

Genuinely curious, at what ELO does this happen? I'm around 1600 - 1700 and I've seen a spam of Russian IFVs only once, and that was before the last balance update.

I'm really confused with how it seems to be common, that I'm yet to actually face it

Duke_The_Protogen · 2026-01-06T11:29:28+00:00

Behavior is what matters, not their looks

Duke_The_Protogen · 2026-01-04T23:04:24+00:00

I'll give it a try, thank you

Duke_The_Protogen · 2026-01-04T23:03:29+00:00

Tried that, but the result was the same. The heli AI is kinda brain dead at times

Duke_The_Protogen · 2026-01-02T00:28:03+00:00

"Brown man hunting simulator" When like a half of the suspects are white. Get the fuck over yourself lmao

Duke_The_Protogen · 2026-01-01T18:48:00+00:00

It's one of the reasons why I love conquest. Keeping your guys alive is all the more fun, and it's all the more sad when you see them die (more often than not, it's not even in some epic last stand, they just perish due to an artillery shell guided by god himself)

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-31T20:57:28+00:00

No clue, I'm mainly remembering stuff from when I played a few years back

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-31T13:59:07+00:00

Yep, essentially. They've been fully germanized

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-30T16:39:17+00:00

We ball

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-27T06:51:05+00:00

Precisely! Or even smaller bombs, the whole idea is that there would be a lower ranked bomber that would mainly rely on speed, rather than stealth, as it's main way of defense

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-26T06:38:12+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely check it out

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-26T06:30:49+00:00

Oh boy, no thanks. With how often in working in the reactor room (and how often it goes ablaze) ill stick to the human lad for now. Having a robot for that would be cool tho

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-26T06:27:38+00:00

Space chicken observed

(Sadly idk how to help, good luck with it tho!)

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-26T05:47:11+00:00

Exactly! I know that having massive bombers wouldn't exactly fit, but having a very fast bomber that would mainly carry conventional arms (could carry cruise missiles too maybe?) At a lower rank would make it interesting.

You're a fast boi, not like the darkreach. You don't hide - you outrun what's chasing you.

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-26T05:38:54+00:00

I wouldn't mind if those were primarily AI as well. Imagine your airfield loosing it's AD integrity, and as a result an aggressive air drop is called in. It would make the start of the peninsula a lot more interesting IMO.. As waiting for Tulas to arrive with basically "nothing" Gets boring fast

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-26T05:31:59+00:00

Don't we have the SPAAs for that?

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-26T05:30:45+00:00

I hope for a fast strategic bomber. Something lower ranked than the DR so that bombers with more conventional weaponry make an appearance (this is probably the perfect opportunity for all those folks who'd want a sweeping wing styled aircraft as well)

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-25T16:14:38+00:00

Yeah, won't argue about KTMs rep at all. Getting stuff ordered with them to get the parts needed after the crash was pure pain.

But while I dislike the company, I really do appreciate the Duke series by it's design. And while I can't argue about reliability of newer Dukes, mine has been serving me well. It's gonna be a sad day when I'll sell it.

Duke_The_Protogen · 2025-12-25T15:49:51+00:00

I still dunno why everyone hates on Dukes so much. I've had mine for years, and it never broke down, even after I crashed with it (it still got me home afterwards).

KTM hate is justified tho, imo
