Flying Straight Has Never Been This Easy - F-104S TAF

[@IowanLawman]

Fun Fact for this thing has the same SL modifier with the MIG-23MF at 380%. And considering an almost stock MIG-23MF with just the flares and g-suit is around 9k repair, has better flight performance to this thing, I don't see how anyone can justify $70 for this.

An F-104 without the obnoxious repair cost makes me happy, I personally enjoy flying the 104G (call me insane). 6 AIM-9Js + Vulcan + Low Repair Cost + 10.7 = Fun Speedy Dildo.

[@lordwintertown8284]

That's what imo essentially makes it the best premium sorta thing as it's a premium version of a rather mediocre machine yet it has an astonishingly low costs which makes it worth it Vs the same yet TT machine which costs so much. A similar example would be the Köln class Frigate as Köln is TT yet suffers from a high repair for something not overly great yet the Lübeck is premium with a lower repair and better income results it being the best Frigate just due to repairs. (clarification most Frigates are between 15 & 30k sl meanwhile the Lübeck is like 3k making it more likely to have good income Vs the rest if they're losted). Truthfully I wish I had the premium F-104S a few months back when I slogged through the F-104G, Flareless F-104S, & F-104S.ASA as man a premium F-104 is kind of a godsend heh Vs the millions I losted due to fielding mediocre yet expensive starfighters heh uuuh.

There are plenty of Turkish players who are willing to pay for it I guess but that is unfathomable to me because as a Turk myself one of these premiums will cost 1/5th of minimum wage here. Why someone would do such a thing while they could buy the entire BF franchise for the same price on sales is anyone's guess, since Steam is generous with pricing in Turkey whereas you have to pay with dollars for premiums. What people who don't want to waste their life earnings in this unrewarding game do to earn premium vehicles is generally downloading the free eagles app and posting their referral code on the review page there, or even worse, waste their life on tasks that make them devour Chinese bs slot-machine games to get 10 mere GE. There are even people who do surveys all day long just for some GE. This is definitely not a healthy living attitude so I just posted my referral code on the main page with my review of the app and got lucky, for a month or so I was bombarded with notifications saying somebody signed up using my referral code. I have accumulated about 7k GE in 4 years by doing literally nothing. Other people that used my referral code did those tasks for themselves and for every task they've done I got some reward for it. When people call me a "p2w loser" when I kek them with my German P47 or XP50 is surely an amazing feeling. I guess that's the reason why people who upload to KZbin used Free Golden Eagles sponsorships and posted their referral codes in the ads, I can't even imagine how much they made themselves from the avid player base there. I guess I just wanted to write my bio, sorry for the long text.

2:31 It's super weird to me there's no weapon selection for flares and chaff. Doesn't even sound like a difficult thing to add, just let us select between the two using a system that's already in the damn game.

[@rainsilent]

People have been asking for a fuel slider for years. Gaijin has been against implementation because of 'how difficult' it would be. Given how spaghetti the code is I can actually take Gaijin at its word because making adjustments to a missile can break map terrain somewhere on a map.

[@fire_drake12.arc.24]

honestly adding keybinds for "Drop chaff" and "Drop flares" would be better, with how little time you often have to react to drop flares or chaff, its much faster to just press an appropriate button than press a button 1-3 times to select what you want and then press another to use it. The second it takes you to select, recognize what you selected, and then use it; can literally get you killed sometimes.

There is a IAR 93 Vultur Romanian CAS plane in the work by the same person that made the IAR 81c .The IAR 93 was the only jet plane created by a Warsaw Pact member that was not the USSR I believe .The reason for that was that Romania was basically cut off from soviet stuff since 1968 when it condemned the invasion of Cehoslovakia.Communist Romania stuff should be part of Italy and not USSR imo,especially since the combat machines are still from that era but Ro is now NATO member which is both funny and sad at the same time .

watching this a year later and they did in fact do exactly what you said with flares and chaff lol word for word

[@Yoru_xy]

the part mentioning bombing in the top tier reminds me of something, recently in the Chinese community, there is a video uploader, encouraging people to bomb bases (which is not too much of an issue), but he also encourages, in fact, teach people to hit the ground or rip the wing off, basically suicide whenever there is someone chasing him down, and also teamkill whoever that is faster than them towards the enemy base. considering the number of followers he has, hopefully, this will not become a trend, but do watch out if u r running with bombs or going for enemy 'bombers'.

[@Yoru_xy]

many videos uploader are arguing with him and trying to bring the play style back, but he is just defending himself with tones of 'reasons', such as 'play as fighters are just ruining other play's game experience' and 'not letting other get the kill is winning for yourself'. as ridiculous as it might sounds, but that's what he argues, I really don't know what to say.
