Shame. Such an iconic plane that honestly is more useful than non-upgraded A-10. Of course with 4+ Gen fighters you have all of that and more, but would be nice if you could play less mismatched games. Decompression is necessary.

[@exo068]

The thing with 4+ gen fighters is that there is no real SPAA counter to them. Nations now use long range SAM System to keep the battlefield clear of aircraft. Sure there are systems that are still in use like the Gepard or the Tunguska but they are extremely outranged by the weapons that modern jet’s carry. You can already see how hard it is to get rid of a good CAS player now imagine how much fun ground RB is with Eurofighters that can carry 6 laser guided 460 kg bombs at once. 4.5 gen may be in the far further but even the Tornado can carry 4 GBU 12s.

[@theScottishKoala]

@@exo068 The F-4E can already out-range every SAM in the game with six AGM-65Bs, and the F-16 will be able to do the same, only more easily and with a thermal-equipped targeting pod! What we need is multi-vehicle SAM systems like Kub or Hawk, that can range out to 20km+ in fact it's literally the only way to give Japan a half decent SAM at all, with the Type 81 Tan-SAM

[@jannegrey]

@@theScottishKoala Agreed. One would hope for some medium range SAM systems, but the problem is that without decompression, you will also have slightly better than WW2 planes fighting against SAM they have 0 chance against. Remember how people were outraged that SAM systems in your base were too strong? And Gaijin moved them to only absolutely top tier BR's? Balancing a game is difficult. Even moreso if people who develop it don't really care.

[@semicooperative7188]

"Overpowered in a downtier and underpowered in an uptier" - I'll say the same thing about heavy tanks and A-10s, decompression won't solve this. Heavy tanks rely on armor, so the cross section of vehicles that can hurt them, but not casually kill them is just too small. The A-10 (and possibly Su-25 as well) have the same issue with anti-air. You can get the altitude or speed to make yourself a hard target for the radar guided 10.0+ platforms, but mavericks are abusively good against stingers and guns. There's no AA in the game in my opinion that actually has a fair fight against the A-10 to where both sides can reasonably win if played well - In this respect, I feel decompression gets seen as too much of a magic bullet when it wouldn't affect a lot issues at all.

[@vikingsoftomorrow4038]

While its not a magic bullet, it does solve a lot of issues allowing people to focus more and get a clearer picture of issues such as strike aircraft balancing.

[@semicooperative7188]

@@vikingsoftomorrow4038 I'm not confident that would be the result. The problem is that BR compression is not symmetrical. The game has artificial BR cap, so BR decompression is the worst near the top, specifically I'n the penultimate BRs as the highest BRs are kind of goofy and in flux and lower BRs only have comparatively minor issues. - - Except the penultimate BRs (9.3-10.3 in air and 9.0-10.0 in ground) are also the dumping ground for premiums that tend to have the weirdest performance metrics and, thus tend to be the hardest to find a good place for. - I feel like any decompression would end up in the same place, we'd just be talking about different specific vehicles and BR ranges. This isn't even accounting for the current unused BRs (there are 2 10.3 ground vehicles in the entire game and trying to get air games around 7.0 usually involves at least a minute to minute and a half que times) or vehicles at artificial BRs (the M113 TOW for example is really overtired just because dropping it would mean hitting king tigers with TOWs which, while a pretty fair fight, many would object to. The M41D is basically only at 8.0 because of thermals and laser rangefinder, but is hopelessly awful at that BR). I

[@TrashFixation]

In EC, these strike aircraft are (or were, before all the actual game-breaking bugs and half-assed additions) incredibly useful for pushing the front line and destroying convoys. You could air quake with them, of course. But because they are usually slower or less maneuverable than fighter aircraft, taking the time to take off and seek out enemy planes while putting yourself in a disadvantageous position is not very attractive... Especially not with low endurance in the Su-25's case. Large, dynamic, long-lasting battles passively encourage players to use specialized aircraft properly.

[@Jmcculloughc1350]

Would the working of Air Battles to be more in line with ground attack aircraft be a reworking of Air Battles in general or would ground attack have a sepparate game mode? Either way, you wouldn't need to have aircraft have a different BR for AB and GB if AB recognize that attack aircraft are a thing and with some decompression. You would only need one BR that would be reflected in both game modes.

[@theScottishKoala]

I think Gaijin COULD split the current game mode in two - one just for fighters (would benefit heavily from removing the AAA and ground targets, and getting bombers/attackers out of the mode), and a second for combined ops (more like sim/EC with larger maps, respawns, plenty of ground objectives that actually matter, etc.)

[@vikingsoftomorrow4038]

Id say, when it comes to balancing the Strike aircraft, besides the obvious decompression, there needs to be a good rework of ARB. The issue tends to be that in most matches, the Strike aircraft don't have much to do, and what they do have is crammed into one small area making them easy prey to any stock pilots looking for some free RP. The only real way to deal with this is for there to be an EC sized map as we have been seeing, with airspawn for the strike aircraft. Now, this would indeed mean separating ARB into two, as there is a good portion of the community that wants the close range skirmishes that most maps offer. This would infact benefit the ARB playerbase as a whole as the skirmishers get their close and quick fights, without being held back by having strike aircraft on the team. The strike aircraft (And also bombers) would get a bit of a calmer flight on bigger maps, where they have chances to hide and to not be targeted as fast due to multiple objectives where they could be. Essentially, the battle should be similar to what you would see in DCS, with radar and SAM sites to take out, convoys, ships, battles, etc etc. An issue I do see that might appear, is the aircraft possibly getting undertiered due to a false feeling of safety over a general lack of enemy fighters, where that false security gets them killed by jets. Thoughts?

[@Maktumekal_Ilzrei]

And it is precisely those reasons I've moved over to strictly playing Air EC rather than looking at ARB. The rewards for time aren't as good, sure, but if I can spend 3 hours just bumbling about in an IL-2M strafing ground targets to my heart's content, I'll happily do it, and have done it.

Don’t forget the addition of multiple spawn points allowing for much more player choice in terms of strategy, planning routes, having multiple exfil options to escape to instead of being funnelled to the same area leading to airfield camping. Multiple respawns like in sim ec where you pay the repair cost up front in order to respawn into the ongoing match instead of having to leave, pay, queue up for a few minutes, ponder the immense annoyance that was the entire last game you played then finally get into another match just to repeat the same pain. Multiple objectives for both fighters and bombers meaning you aren’t all funnelled to the same objective leading to a slaughter EC is just much better for a lot of reasons AND keeping in the standard battles as a sort of deathmatch instead of the proposed ec “conquest” means both groups are satisfied. For now I’ll just keep at the sim EC gameplay however I do really hope it’ll be fully implemented as an alternative rb mode

We should have alternate br something like if your playing ground 9.3 and in air 10.3

[@jayk7854]

to be honest, Gaijin didn't give a crap about actual balance the way they implemented the A10 so I don't care if the SU25 is poorly implemented. I'm only going to be playing both the tech tree and premium versions in Sim so I don't need to worry too much. It's my second favorite aircraft so I don't care if it's OP as hell 😅

[@kajmak64bit76]

9.3 ground = good 9.3 air rb = bad Gaijin: we don't want to make variable BR's for different game modes lol

[@cell5066]

A few days into the patch after the SU-25 was added, it's worse than the A-10 spam, turns out a jet that's actually fast, can turn has tons of flares and all aspect missiles kill everything easily. Migs? Sabres? Mysteres'? All dead anything that doesn't have flares dies. The SU-25 can dance around the A-10 with its much better flight performance and is the most broken jet at 9.7 all aspect missiles don't belong at BR 9.7

[@TheRedMartian]

The only way to balance this properly is to make CAS have different BRs in GRB vs ARB. Example: 10.3 A10A(E) ARB 11.3 (GRB). Don’t attack me, it’s just an example

[@theScottishKoala]

I don’t think it would be any more balanced OR that it should be necessary. The A-10 in air RB will never and SHOULD never be “balanced”, because the only way to balance a super slow aircraft with super deadly missiles in AIR battles, is to try and average out between those two things… that’s what Gaijin did. They put a 500-700kph ground slugger at a higher br than the Lightning F.6, but that also means AIM-9Ls at a LOWER br than the F-4C, Mirage IIIC, or even F-104A, and at the SAME br as the damn J35A and MiG-21S! Unless air RB is changed into a more RBEC-like game mode where ground attack has its own place just as much as air-to-air fights, dedicated ground attackers just aren’t going to be good in air RB, nor should they be. It’s air RB that’s the whole problem. Attackers just need better stock ordnance and then they can stick to CAS in ground battles entirely

Gaijin made sure that the tech tree A-10 would have a BR that would have it regularly face top tier spaa such as Tunguska and even ADATS, Flarak and ITO's but they sure as fuck made sure that all the SU-25 variants BR stayed well out of top tier spaa range... Ass hats.

[@theScottishKoala]

Well, for one the A-10 is FAR more capable than the Su-25 in the ground attack role, and two, the Su-25's br of 9.3 likely won't stick, and on the live server I expect it to share a 9.7 battle rating with the premium A-10, which would still be far too low, but that's beside the point

This is one of the few aircraft I was looking foreword to in war thunder (I am 99% a ground player not air) and to hear that it’s just a lot of meh… kinda disappointing Like obviously it’s going to be somewhat broken just due to being a cas aircraft and cas in game is pretty broken in general but I was hoping this aircraft would perform well because it’s one of the few that I would have bought because of just how iconic it is

[@theScottishKoala]

If it stays at its current br, it'll be quite overpowered. Take out the S-13 rockets and then two Kh-29Ls for hitting SPAAs. Try to focus on lighter vehicles instead of MBTs. You'll have a great time. If it gets the 10.0 battle rating it SHOULD, it'll struggle, and might not be worth the PURCHASE, but the tech tree model will still be worth trying. Just don't bother with the Kh-25s or S-25 rockets... they're its "more advanced" ordnance but they're just a useless gimmick

[@cynicalfox190]

@@theScottishKoala thanks for the reply Koala! And yeah it will be powerful at the br I am more just dissapointed that it’s advanced weapons are going to be the downside in favour of using the lower tech stuff. But to be fair with my lack of aircraft experience in game going for more basic weapons might be better considering it’ll force me to actually learn rather than just use an overpowered gimmick or resort to revenge suiciding

[@M3PH11]

16:00 So basically the same argument that everyone hs been making for 4 years or so. I stopped playing WT after i got the f-14. It made top tier battles a complete joke. I loved the thing but it was far too OP. Every game i played was literally take off get about 1km into the map dump all my pheonix's and then land and reload. Now, take into account i suck but i would get at least 2 easy kills that way. I played because it was hard. You make it that easy and i'm out. But i think gaijn will never change. All they want is money and damn everything else. There will be more players. Humans have a habit of spawning more humans, which means there will always be suckers for gaijn to grift with the promise of historical accuracy, engaging gameplay and thousands of vehicles but those people, like the rest of us, will find that to get anything done you gotta be Elon musk or Bill gates to cover the demands for money that you *have* to comply with. *Premium accounts are required*. A few premium vehicles are also required. And thats just to get research done. let alone make some SL. This game is ridiculous and although it will never die. I do now see a lot of people that clearly have denial and addiction issues. Their dealer is gaijin. and their drug is pain and suffering in the name of fun.

My Scott brother. I see other with the same gripes, However, the reality is if any two vehicles produced at the same time or entered into combat was inferior yo the other, That is just the way it is. A year 2000 Ferrari vs a year 2000 VW. Sometimes its not about better, its about what the person choses to enjoy. In the case of the A-10, I have extremely little success, but I purchased and fly it because of the plane it is, not because its of any use or gain. - Sgt_Katana

[@theScottishKoala]

That argument doesn’t work in game, because in game the number one requirement is balance. Historical matchups of this vehicle and that vehicle from the same year/period will not be balanced, and nobody wants to intentionally play the losing side (or at least, very few do). It wouldn’t be fair, it would saturate the matchmaker on one side, and we’d either end up with fully mixed battles (less realistic anyway), or queue times extending past ten minutes!

I think BR as a whole needs to just go away. The game should take a few categories to put a plane or tank into a match. Year of introduction, role, armament. These are just a few of the things that should be considered.
