Been using drag bombs on the jags recently, quite funny to just thunder over the battle at mach while dropping drag bombs. Although it does require you to have a buddy in a light tank to ping guys for you. Im missing nuclear thunder quite a bit as using them in that game mode was really funny on the fg.1
at the range where the tv seeker will lock on targets you can already see the enemies with your naked eye very easily, i havent experienced this as an issue.
Im kinda looking forward to using the Jaguar Gr1 at 9.3 now.
The few times I tried that approach I literally couldnt see the target I knew was there even at 4-5km away, which really isnt where you want to be when there is a 2S6 currently firing at a teammate, maybe the render distances are buggy as hell or stupidly tied to crew skill.
But I found it basically impractical to use the 3.5x zoom of the seeker to LOBL

at such close ranges i dont use the sight at all with any fnf cas munitions. with grayscale and smaller fov view its way harder to spot enemies.
True, but if you have to get that close anyway, do we really consider the Buc S2B on par with something like the Hawk 209 with 4x AGM-65Gs or the A-10A Late with 6x AGM-65Ds, given the Buc S2B only has 3x AJ168s
I just feel this is a blanket nerf to MITL aircraft and not actually any issue with the Buc S2B or AJ168s being too strong at 10.3

Probably better to get the hawk 200 moved down to 10.3. I cant really see it being any better than the a10 early, that combined with the fact the german f4f is 10.3 i believe with 2 agm65 and a 3000lbs bomb. I know which one i would rather have.
Yep
Cough cough
The T-64A entered service in 1968, I fail to see how the M1 Abrams that entered service in 1980 would be it’s peer.
1968 is when the US was still primarily using the M60A1 (not even the stabilized version yet).
It’s not.
Every MBT at these BR’s struggles when dealing with a full uptier.
The T-80B gets lolpenned anywhere by an M1A1 Abrams whilst also being less mobile, having massively worse gun handling characteristics, slower reload, worse survivability, etc. etc.
That’s a problem with BR compression and not a problem with the M1 being weak for it’s BR.
If you’re going to buff every 10.7 MBT to deal with 11.7’s, then how do you think 9.7’s will fare against these massively buffed 10.7’s?

T-80? Lol penned? We playing the same game?
Yes.
Lolpenned:

it infact does not lol pen the t80b’s turret cheets
In this rather silly screenshot we see 2 bad SPAAs meeting at the edge of the map, it also shows that the Antelope is quite large. Maybe calling it “huge” is a bit of an exaggeration though.
The best? Eh, probably not but it does do the job well if you don’t need to shoot anything. I can say that the QN506 is much better at scouting at 10.0, thanks to the thermal commander sight.
T-58 vs other 8.7 vehicles, how is that thing fair?💔personally think that the T-58 could easily be 9.3 and still be good
Guys…
It takes but 10 seconds to fact check this in the Protection Analysis tool. There’s no excuse for ignorance here.
And if you don’t know anything about this subject, why even act like I’m saying something preposterous?

Vehicle F-117
Mode: Air Realitic Battles
BR revision: 8.7 → 8.7 Add a standard bomber spawn to it
Reason: Currently F-117’s stealth factor doesn’t help in ARB due to the presence of markers, for a while F-117 was sentenced to be bad until high value ground targets are added to ARB, however Nuclear Thunder’s B-52H and Tu-95M showed that airspawns past rank V may be added if the aircraft really needs them and since F-117 barely makes 3k SL per match if really lucky it may actually need a hand.
So the F-117 could recieve a bomber spawn (3.8km of altitude on average), since a long range bomber spawn (4.5km) would be too much and may remove all tactical play and a strike spawn will just make it be able to kill 2 pillboxes more reliably.
The bomber spawn will allow it to penetrate deep into enemy territory and accompanied by a flank would allow to slip behind them undetected, there the F-117 may strike only 2 targets of important value, it could be a base, bridges (if mission decretes bridges as main targets) but specially airfield enemies, may include AA or even players repairing/rearming.
F-117 would still not be able to dictate most matches but it will have a niche.

I encourage you to to spend some real money (or 10-40m SL in the next lootbox round) to get your hands on a P-59A. The P-59A is faster, has a higher rip speed and its flaps (if used perfectly timed) makes it rather easy to get behind a Yak-3U in your first turn - and you can stay there (like with a plain A7M2).
Details:
Knowing that Yak-3Us are prime targets i always focused on them and waited for isolated 1 vs 1s - and killed several of them either below 1.5 in knife fights or above 6 km with energy traps - but if you have time for a setup i would chose the low alt approach as you run at higher alt into the risk of prolonged vertical maneuvers which makes you slow and the Yak-3U might out-accelerate you. This risk is also there in low alt fights but way more manageable.
Best option is a high speed merge at very low alt (u have to deny/dodge their head-on approach) - the P-59A is able to get instantly at their six and your speed drop plants you there; your turn is good enough that you can stay there for as long as you need to. You need a maxed out level 75 crew and expert qualification for your first turn - and have to keep an eye on your energy.
The rather weak armament (i can’t anything with the 37mm) is the only downside of the P-59A - besides the non-existent low speed acceleration of all early jets. I stopped playing it because (iirc) i had 2 of 3 defeats in a row as my full US team collapsed in a few minutes - ruining my WR from almost perfect to around 81,5%…
Have a good one!

and the HO RI!!! Needs to go up in BR SIGNIFICANTLY!!! ITS STUPID OP !¬
Out of all the suggestions ive seen to buff the F-117 in ARB (and its always gunna be an incredibly niche vehicle in ARB) this is actually a really reasonable one that would probably actually help and not be unfair.

To be completely honest, just ban the F-117 from ARB until we get some actual purpose for them
