Why can't you take AIM120's on the base of the plane when you have the TGP on the aircraft? It makes no sense. It's not blocking them in any way, shape, or form

[@Ghost_in_walls]

Btw that has been on bug report since minute one of introduction of F15E/I on the dev server

[@user-mc9cv9zw3x]

It’s because of air RB they don’t want people to use it for spotting. If you don’t know what I’m taking about essentially when entering the targeting pod it will mark any enemy planes in 20km (not 100% on the distance) and they have been trying different ways to prevent this and this was one of the ways they found best for preventing this.

[@Ghost_in_walls]

Wondering why you bother to flare when dodging pansirs as they are visually guided and not IR

[@jordancourse5102]

Flares show up on the pantsir’s radar which can sometimes disrupt the launch while in TWS sounds weird but it works

[@britishbeef4890]

They have IRST lock aswell. Can disrupt it.

[@Hunter_i86]

I'm used to "mix", and I literally have no more free buttons for separate countermeasures in keyboard so I launch both flares\chaff.

[@Hunter_i86]

Hello my friend, TGP slave to what? slave to radar you mean, yes in sim it slaves to radar sometimes but I don't suffer from it much because usually my air radar is OFF 90% of times, when CAS there is zero reason to keep air radar ON. Bind a short key to turn on/off radar and turn radar off when going air to ground I would recommend. Thanks a lot for your compliment.

[@sadchihuahua6271]

Outta all the AA vehicles which is the one you have trouble evaded?

[@Hunter_i86]

Pantsir S1 because no RWR warning and of course the 20km range. However as a missile, I feel VT1 is more dangerous, at 8km I can evade S1 missile easier than VT1 because of the 50G.

@@bradleycavalier1311 Thanks a lot for the support dude, it means a lot. The decal thing is up to the holy snail, to be honest I requested it twice and got declined, they said more views needed, I can increase views per one video as they want but that means I must reduce the amount of videos per month which is a thing I don't want to do, it is boring to upload one video per week or per 10 days just to let it get more views.

Genuine question. Are you just absolutely cracked at WT, or do you need to pkay several games to finally get one like this? I imagine spaa, especially pantsirs, along with other fighters in the air make it so you have to try several games to get these amazing videos.

Hunter how many gbus 39 are you throwing to s1 while cas

[@Hunter_i86]

YES

[@Frost_x_NB]

I don’t understand how your always defeating these missiles. Like sir to air I get but these SAM/SPAA missiles I don’t get. Like I’ll go into notch chaff flare but missiles still get me

[@Hunter_i86]

I would say the distance is the reason, I'm far, and at high distance the incoming missile is less maneuverable, it lost a lot of energy so it is less dangerous. It is easier to survive against S1 missile that cut 14km of its max range than surviving against S1 missile that cut 7km only of its max range. Try to be discipline and don't get close.

[@Frost_x_NB]

@ yeah thank you bro. I’ll try and consider the range a bit more I guess counter measures don’t mean anything to SPAA.

[@britishbeef4890]

in RB, with airspawn, you need to instantly lose alt and dodge to avoid being hit by s1 5 seconds after spawn.

[@simplegamerz9485]

@@britishbeef4890 yeah I tried however once there were two s1’s and they both shot at a guy who spawned before me and so when I spawned I saw s1 and dove but the missile was already there or once I didn’t realize the map had like 10km max from the battlefield and so I turned around to go cold and then was turned back around and was immediately smacked by a s1. The range from the battlefield needs to be bigger and also for helicopters they need to have something that blocks line of sight to spawn as there are quite a few maps when you spawn and can immediately be hit by spaa

[@Hunter_i86]

Yes, maps in Ground RB need huge changes in modern battles. Thanks a lot and God bless you my friend.

[@m.p7179]

Good stuff as always, but honestly, if you play CAS ("C"lear "A"bsence of "S"kill, not in your case though I enjoy your content) you don't have the right to complain about imbalance of the game like small maps or SPAA that can actually fight back lol. But on a more serious note, if you're down for some ground sim games let me know, I could use a skilled squadmate.

[@Hunter_i86]

I'm not complaining about balance, at all. I don't care about balance to be honest and I want more powerful SPAA to be added now, complaining about map size is related to fun and realism, it is not cool to get "return to battlefield" whenever I ran from a missile. And MBTs should fight in bigger maps as well. Sorry but tankers think they are doing something miraculous every time they say CAS is zero skill, they are not, they just drive to a cheesy spot and start pointing and clicking, even in ground SB, mouse aim RB controls tank\SPAA vs full keyboard full real controls aircraft and they still say that. 😂

Hey, if we can get into contact, WE do some SU34 trolling, ( we take 6 groms and Fab3000, launching at 10km ALT and 1.25 mach and 1.0 mach respectively for both ordinances around 40kms at airfields) Destroying enemy airfields and stopping from respawning.
