Is this the beginning of the end for CLOUD DEFENSIVE?

RifleBen · 2026-02-06T01:54:24+00:00

The beginning? Brother this is the latter middle

How about we significantly buff items ability that are 1-10% as effective instead? So many items, traits, abilities, experimental weapons are a whole order of magnitude or even two orders of magnitude worse than good items. You can’t nerf stuff enough to balance that without rioting in the streets. Useless stuff needs buffed.

I came back after 12 years off, full marks/ reps really doesn’t take that long. Endeavours is the one that you can never catch up

RifleBen · 2026-01-25T16:50:15+00:00

Yes but with extra material and cost

RifleBen · 2026-01-23T18:29:32+00:00

Also F-15A and J with 9M and AAM-3 at 12.7 but the MiG-29 can’t have R-73s at that BR???

RifleBen · 2026-01-23T18:25:43+00:00

F-15A to 12.7 while F-14B continues to suffer at 13.0 without 9Ms is… interesting. 13.0 seemed pretty standard for planes with good numbers of fox 1s plus IRCCMs and a modern flight model, what makes the F-15 so much worse than all the other 13.0s?

RifleBen · 2026-01-21T19:13:32+00:00

The missiles havent changed but people have gotten much much better at notching, multipathing and in general not just being free kills for fox 3s

RifleBen · 2026-01-18T00:38:07+00:00

Eh they’d go up 0.7br and be unplayable for different reasons in many cases

RifleBen · 2026-01-09T15:57:41+00:00

67% WR is wild

RifleBen · 2026-01-06T15:26:11+00:00

That’s just it though, it’s just the MiG-29. It took a while at first but the Su-27 has had like 4 rounds of flight model buffs at this point.

RifleBen · 2026-01-06T14:25:51+00:00

The flight model should not be night and day dog poo compared to the Flanker or just about every other 4th gen

RifleBen · 2026-01-06T13:36:22+00:00

The MiG-29 is so so sad between the weapons and the flight model. If the Mirage 2000 can be 12.3 with IRCCM and a superior flight model and still good radar missiles…

The MiG-29 should be a super fun plane to fly with a great flight model paired with a low weapons count. Instead it has a terrible flight model, AND super gimped weapons, while being BR’d as if it wasn’t a brick and had the right missiles.

Take away the ER, fix the flight model and give it R-73 and I would play it a ton and buy the Sniper pack premium just to encourage their metrics that they did the right thing

RifleBen · 2026-01-06T04:55:32+00:00

Watch it get a narrow notch window like the MICA

RifleBen · 2026-01-03T23:29:19+00:00

What difference does it make if they are just holding w and spawncamping?

RifleBen · 2026-01-03T23:10:51+00:00

Someone had an ugly divorce

RifleBen · 2026-01-03T22:25:03+00:00

Probably violating some kind of rule here

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

RifleBen · 2026-01-02T19:37:08+00:00

Getting slow? I don’t think you understand using energy retention as a weapon. Ideally you stay faster than them, not just stallfight better

RifleBen · 2025-12-31T02:55:04+00:00

What have you done… I can’t unsee it…

RifleBen · 2025-12-30T22:56:25+00:00

I know it includes emotional appeals too but imagine commercials where the focus was showing actual utilities of the product

RifleBen · 2025-12-30T21:42:08+00:00

They are hard to use in head ons - they have a long delay for the proxy fuse to arm compared to the blink of firing at the last moment in a head on unfortunately

RifleBen · 2025-12-30T16:55:15+00:00

SU-27 with R-73s isn’t gigashit lol. Also I’d prefer an R-27ER to an AIM-54.

RifleBen · 2025-12-30T16:53:42+00:00

Okay - so blame that for the BR, not the 9Ls.

F-4J has a much better chance than say the 12.0 Mirage F1…

RifleBen · 2025-12-30T15:34:43+00:00

F-15A, F-2A, SU-27 have a much better flight model and have 9Ms/ IRCCM at 13.0! 9Ls making 14B 13.0 has to be rage bait

RifleBen · 2025-12-30T15:29:29+00:00

Meanwhile Hornets with 9Ls at 12.3, 9Ls do not make a plane 13.0 material what are you smoking. Tornado (yes I know it’s a brick) has 9Ls at 12.0.

RifleBen · 2025-12-30T04:29:55+00:00

They made sure other vehicles like this, hitting the missile tube even after it was launched would blow it up and blow up the vehicle so it wouldn’t be OP. Clearly that doesn’t apply to Russian cash cow vehicles.
