If they won't implement ground radars or new features like they should I wouldn't care much for just higher quantity of same weapons we have.

[@christopherchartier3017]

@@Hunter_i86 honestly… real

[@superfamilyallosauridae6505]

Even higher quantities would make a big difference, I feel. Currently my CAS situation is in a highly capable, but inefficient place: With F-14B, I get 4 2000lb JDAMs, an excellent weapon load. However, AAMs are severely limited with this load. TGP also takes an AAM pylon. With F-15C, I get 3 2000lb GBUs, but only two of them JDAMs as one must be a GBU8 as a TGP. While this is limited in air to ground efficiency, this allows me to take 8 AAMs (!) I currently take exclusively AIM120s, as I have found recently that virtually any situation I find myself in is EITHER an AIM120 situation or a gun kill situation. With F-16C, I get a TGP, 2 2000lb JDAMs, but I am then forced to take 2 Paveways which I like less as weapons than JDAMs. Furthermore, the JDAMs only sit on AAM pylons, so if I take my preferred weapon (JDAM), I have to sacrifice AAMs and go down to 4. With an F-15E, I will stop having to make most of these sacrifices. I will have a targeting pod. Using CFT bomb racks/TGP eliminates 4 AAM, but I still have 4, which is my bare minimum. In exchange, I get: 3 GBU31 2000lb JDAM (almost as many as F-14 gets with way more AAM sacrifices) up to 11 500lb GBUs (paveway or JDAM) OR I can put AIM120s on one side and have 6 AAMs and like 5 GBUs on the CFT racks. No matter how you slice it, this is excellent. Furthermore, the excellent GBU-15 can be taken on the GBU-31 stations. In total, I stand to gain: A TGP, several paveways for moving targets, an extra JDAM, and the option of 3x GBU-15 compared to my F-15C loadout OR An extra JDAM, GBU15s, a few paveways compared to my F-16C loadout OR a ton of far superior AAMs and a bunch of paveways+GBU15 compared to my F-14 loadout I think I can wipe enemy teams with an F-15E.

Gaijin has too much bias against the Maverick missile. If you watch videos of this thing in real life, it would OBLITERATE ANY TANK/VEHICLE in existence.

[@Wotplaya4]

Moments in the F-16A like that make me wish the F-16C had GBU-8s too, sadly it got retired even if it had the capability to carry it. I also noticed you carrying the dumb 2000lbs over the GBU-24s, why is that? I mean I can guess from my own experience, the GBU-24 (and LGBUs in general) have been nerfed to a rather unusable state when it comes to outranging Pantsirs (15km+ designation range), GBU-24 in most cases is actually worse than dumber LGBUs like the GBU-10 because the IOG will only make the bomb drift away from the designated point, whereas with a dumber LGBU you can at least toss it on the mark and it will be as accurate as you toss it. In current state when designating from 15km+, or even 12km+, Paveways just pick the laser too late to make any meaningful correction in my experience and just miss as result. And considering the F-16C doesn't have the GBU-10 or much other choice, I guess it leaves the dumb 2000lb bombs.

[@Hunter_i86]

GBU-24 over-glides, it misses a lot and overshoots, after some tests I realized it even spots the laser point only when it is too close, and CCIP\CCRP sight is not accurate at all on many guided bombs, GBU-24 is one of them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6fRgp2XiN1sqZYsi=IaD9YqbCQCQdWqkL Also unguided bombs are fire and forget, I respect unguided bombs that's why I don't like calling them "dumb". LoL

[@Wotplaya4]

​@@Hunter_i86 Yea I guess I'm not the only one then. LGBUs have really fallen off in effectiveness since the seeker nerf. BTW, in case you didn't know, the reason why GBU-24 (or other LGBU) only spot the laser when very close is because of a unknown to many mechanic in the game of modeling laser energy dropoff. The further away you are, the weaker the laser reflection, and the closer the bomb needs to get to the target to spot the laser. In fact, maximum laser detection range for a Paveway (12000ft, 3657m) is only achievable when you are designating yourself from the same range! But sitting only 3657m from the thing you want to bomb is rather useless at toptier. From 10km designation range, bomb seeker range drops to about 1.5km or less, and for less accurate bombs like GBU-24, this means that it basically always misses due to not being able to maneuver in time. Dumber LGBUs you can drop more accurately to prevent having to make large corrections, but that defeats the purpose of LGBUs. For 15km+ designation, required against Pantsir for instance, bomb seeker range is

How do you fly at top tier for so long or are these cherry picked? 99.9999 time i spawn in i am already being locked by pantsir and tor and no amount of chaffing notching and losing altitude saves me

[@Hunter_i86]

I choose the smoothest and cleanest runs in my videos to offer what I think is relaxing and immersive content to my viewers. It is not about cherry picking runs when I survive only and abandon the ones that I die in, it is not that simple, for me it is more about the unlucky strikes that I delete just because the targeted tank got killed by a teammate while my bomb or missile still in air and on the way to it which happens a lot, for example if that first strike of F-16A 4x GBU-8 was three kills instead of four I wouldn't upload it, if that A-10 3x Maverick D vs 3x SPAA wasn't 3 kills and the third missile hit a burned vehicle I would get frustrated and delete it as well, this is at least what I did when I made this video, I was very intolerant.
