The TRUE way to balance jets!

[PBAsydney]

The missiles now are ridicoulus, don't get me wrong, I like a challenge in the air, bot this is "too much of the good stuff", random friendly missiles come flying instalock and kill you, aswell as once you are locked, you will have a hard time to fly.

So, airplanes are overpowered, sure lets make something else overpowered! pleeease...

Do it like the old days of DC, REMOVE BOMBS FROM FIGHTERS! There, I said it, it will remove all jet balancing issues, why?

Only bombers can bomb the ground to hell, and bombers are an easy prey for the average fighter pilot.

Think about it, it would work, wouldn't it?

Yes, that would be a good idea.

Re: The TRUE way to balance jets!

I think having a fuel limit would be better......

Re: The TRUE way to balance jets!

a few things.

1. AA about 75% as effective as it is now.

2. No bombs on bombers.

3. Planes have to either slow down extremely slow, or land completely, to rearm.

No offense, but are you retarded? The point of having bombers are the bombs (duh)

I had no problem at all shooting down helicopters and jets in pre 1.2....

Yeep, same for me...thats why im ****ed...

Re: The TRUE way to balance jets!

I got an idea... Why don't we add a feature in the jets and choppers so that we can detect from where is the AA locking in the minimap. It will enable us to fly out of safety from AA and come back attacking at the AA site. What do you think?

You're kidding!? The damn thing is already friggin' stationary! It's not like it takes an expert mind to figure out most A.A. is located around flags!?

...hell, why not just add CrossCom to the friggin' game and call it Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter!?

Friggin' jets shouldn't have a HuD display giving them the "Active" status of A.A. stations anyways. It should be a guessing game.

Also. I'm all for fighters not having bombs. They can already put guns on the ground with extreme accuracy. That's good enough.

Leave the bombing to the bombers.

Why not equip the choppers with homing hellfire missiles and automatic flailing chain guns which lock onto AA posts?

Yes. Also, give Jets "Bladed Chains" like the kind that come outa' the hips of Big-O.

Thata' way, whenever an Anti-Air lock happens, the chains automatically decimate the A.A. station.

Re: The TRUE way to balance jets!

To expect EA to produce new units such as bombers in the patch is rather unrealistic. I takes a lot of efforts to do so, produce a new graphic and physics of the bomber.

Giving active status of AA is not unbalancing given the fact that most AA misssiles hit air units no matter how hard you turn and bend. No I am not among the whiners who complains that Air units are useless now but I would just think it is weaker but more challenging to play, and I would demand a new "intelligence feature" to compensate for this.

:laugh: Or he could just check his six like ANY good pilot does.. You shouldn't have to wait for someone to have a LOCK on you to check your six. You should be constantly checking, and if you are that stupid and need an INDICATOR telling you which AA is locking on (as opposed to just looking behind you), (not you WP... the guy you quoted) you shouldn't even be in a jet. So do everyone a favor and stop getting in the jet because you aren't getting anything done.

Or better yet. Make it so that jets/bombers have to actually LAND to refill both ammo and fuel. Then set the jet and AA settings back to how they were in the 1.12 patch.

This would mean jets couldn't simply rape an area of the map and it would be a lot easier for infantry to take out jets. It would make the jets more of a team resource and less of a one man fighting machine. People would have to defend the airstrips for the pilots.

To stop people from TKing make the runway a TK free zone for jets. If someone is runover an option comes up for the pilot to "report" the person. Then if the pilot pushes page up a message is sent over teamchat saying someone is runway blocking. That way an admin is told and they can choose to resolve the situation.

I don't see a downside to fixing it all this way. It would make the game more realistic and it would bring more teamplay into the game.

Before you open your mouth and tell someone how dumb they are, you might want to make sure that you aren't the one displaying your own stupidity. Perhaps you've heard of something called MOBILE AA?!?

Having said that, there's no need to have an indicator telling you where the threat is.

They don't have to produce new units. Just take off bombs for choppers.
