Still cannot fathom how anybody at Gaijin thought it was a good idea to reduce multipathing while people abusing AIM54Cs was still a very real thing. On top of it, adding FOX3s, which is fine... unless you are in a plane which doesn't have them, which is like charging into machine gun fire with a sword.

[@jfv2312]

jUsT NOtCh bRO. For real, I don't think we've ever had a more unbalanced and less skill-dependent top tier in WT. Really wish we'd never gone beyond SARH missiles, like there weren't 200 different ways of encouraging BVR gameplay that didn't include adding new, hard to balance weapons...

@@jfv2312 oh yes, hugging the ground all game and spamming IRCCM fox 2s was very skillful gameplay, huh?

[@jfv2312]

@@Jacksonflax no, it was not, but as I said, it was Gaijin's fault for not giving a shit when they introduced SARH missiles, they will just never work in a ultra crowded, low altitude furball scenario like WT's Air RB, they should've made an actual effort to change the meta. And not even bothering to properly model monopulse seekers, or adding stuff like the R-27ER with no real competition didn't help either... Now we have the worst of both worlds, BVR in ultra crowded maps and skill-less gameplay fully dependent on the plane's weapons and sensors. Remember this isn't real life or a more detailed simulator, 2 or 3 F-15C with 8 AMRAAMs can practically win the match on their own if their pilots are good enough.

Peak F14 gameplay

[@Myndrr]

I spent like a month playing the F-14 in exactly this way. The main issue is there is a bug with the IR signature location of the F-14 that makes all missiles behave as if they have IRCCM. R-60s for example can totally ignore all flares (it probably doesn't help that the F-14 has small flares.) There's a bug open on the tracker about it but I wouldn't hold out hope for a fix. It's unrelated to engine temperature, you can turn your engines off and it'll be the same

[@Myndrr]

Also F-14 flaps got a big nerf a few patches ago, they only turn on at 700kph now (used to be able to put combat flaps out way above that)

IMO The issue is, that even if you compare them to one BR higher, they suck already. F16As etc. have no problem with F14As due to weak engines and shit IR missiles (plus Phoenix is weaker at higher BR thanks to better RWRs). So it's kind of hard to balance. They should decompress it more, create 14.0 and put Tomcat Early ver. at 12.7 (or nerf it by one more BR raise) and move current 12.7 to 13.0 etc. (My shit take)

[@Bad_Karma777]

For me, it's very simple: 16v16, multipathing = yes 12v12 or less, multipathing = no Besides, we need variable multipathing (I mean in relation to certain regions of the map bcs of 80m or taller trees and an adjustment of the multipathing level different from map to map...) Edit: Look, if common players like you and me know this, Gaijin probably already knows it too. It's not like creators and players haven't been saying this in forums and such... It's all about your money, and they don't care if we have a heart attack or if we are happy playing. So boycott this crap, stop playing, don't spend money to play Fox-3, go back to downtier, do anything except what those idiots want
