    F14A should not be 12.7

    Guys, i understand that you hate F14s and they were OP when announced etc… i can agree with Iranian F14 Facing Aim120bs and so on ( Even in a real world scenario this will be the case )

    i understand F14B Facing them.

    but under no circumstances i understand why a F14A should Face Aim120bs? and other top tier jets?

    F14A has literally 60Flares and Aim7fs aside from the Aim54as ( which lets be honest if you are not Afk they are easy to dodge ) its really a CUCK plane in this BR right now.

    You dont have all aspect missiles and you fave all aspect IR missiles all the time ( with 60flares 🤡)

    you literally face people who shoot R77/Aim120 etc from 10km> which means you can’t do anything but to accept you are dead because if you try to shoot your Aim7f they will notch

    if you try to evade their missile from 10km> there is very little chance that you will

    and you can’t even shoot head on because Most of those missiles are faster than your Aim7f…

    why is this particular F14 in this BR?

    I don’t like Top tier because its mostly passive gameplay, Lock shoot and forget.

    with F14A i had fun because you could dogfight people but its impossible now to do this

    These types of vehicles need to go up in BR.

    Yeah its so fun to get crossmapped in ww2 vehicles by 152/155mm often autoloaded turreted artillery that sit and camp at the back of the map. idk why people defend these vehicles honestly they would not do better or worse at a higher BR at all. I recommend the worst ones are 7,3 at least then the vidar can be like 8.7 lmao. I've played the m109 at 8.0 stock and did absolutely fine and im not as good as i used to be lol since ive stopped playing regularly . Seriously these vehicles used be not meta at all and were just whimsical meme vehicles and now they are like meta its stupid. irl these wouldn't even be used for direct fire except in extreme cases.

    They seriously ruin 6.0 area for me its just every update they have to shit on heavy tank users like me. Some people dont want to play like insufferable ratty little pricks.

    RTX turbine

    Something that I noticed when messing around in the RTX settings, is that when you manually crank a setting to the max, a subtle turbine sound will start playing.

    Let this be the last huge overstuffed update Gaijin

    Graphic changes. Gameplay changes. A lot of new vehicles. New weaponry. UI changes etc. etc.

    And everything was stuffed into one update why? To generate some hype? The F117, F-15E and the Su34 wasn't enough to hype the update?

    Just do updates more piecemeal from now on. Putting so many changes into one update just increases the risk for bugs and also forces different pieces that are at differing levels of complete into the same update.

    We didn't need to get all of these things in one update and it genuinely served no purpose since even IF raytracing/motion blur generated some hype you can be certain that forcing their inclusion with so many other things at the same time isn't gonna work great.

    Need help with the Litenning Pod on A-10C

    Just got the a-10c and im trying to use gbu - 39s. Im able to lock onto targets with the sight stablization thing and im using the laser designator but the bombs keep missing moving targets. like if tank is moving or ship, the bomb will hit where the target was when i locked it but not where it is now. Also is there any way to lock onto multiple targets with the targeting pod and then just ripple fire guide bombs and all of them will seek out independent targets? Any help is appreciated

    Laser guided bombs

    Hello fighters, a question: how can I hit a moving target with paveway laser-guided bombs? I can easily hit a stationary target, with the sequence of target designation, stabilization, laser aiming (target in the square and then in the circle), but when I aim at a moving target the laser lock is lost. I found several videos that technically explain how to hit, but none in detail with moving targets. Thank you.

    Potentially game breaking glitch

    I was grinding for the new planes today when I encountered a glitch that if repeatable could be extremely game breaking but I'm not sure how to test it.

    I brought a plane into a lower BR than should be possible, but haven't been able to repeat it yet to test. I had a 12.0 plane and an 10.7 plane in a lineup, 12.0 was crew locked so I loaded into RB in the 11.0, as soon as I loaded into battle, the game crashed. I hit "close and restart" in the crash menu and when the game started it let me rejoin the battle and suddenly my 10.7 and 12.0 were both available instead of the 12.0 plane being red and unusable like normal, but I selected the 10.7 so I'm not sure if the 12.0 was actually usable in the battle. I feel like if this is repeated you may be able to take high BR vehicles into possibly much lower tiers in Air RB, so may be worth looking into. I tried recreating it but couldn't force a crash to test. This was in air RB not Arcade or anything, I was actually in a 10.7 RB game.

    Picture isn't actually screenshot, I forgot to take one like a moron, but its a photoshop of what I saw

    TLDR: if this works 13.7rplanes in reserve may be possible lol
