War Thunder Top Tier is Awful | Feat. F-16C

Ойындар

I finally remembered my KZread password :)
The F-16C is quite obviously a great jet, but top tier is so not fun that I just don’t care for it. I can’t wait for the addition of AIM-120’s, surely this will fix ARB. :clueless:

    The Air RB game mode at top tier is aweful. 16 vs 16 makes no sense with these jets and RB just ends up feeling like AB. They need a reduced player count for Air RB. Maybe 10 vs 10. We could also do with a separate Air RB EC mode with respawning - shoulda been added years ago. Gaijin just doesn't seem very focused on Air RB atm which is why its completely broken.

    The mirage 2000 imo is still the funniest jet at top tier, because you actually have to work more to get your kills. The magic 2 aren’t as maneuverable as the r73, and don’t have the range of the aim9l, so you have to think to launch them. And this is even more so true considering 4 missiles is all you get. However, the 2000 5F kinda became more point and click with the addition of the HMD, but hey, at least it’s somewhat funny while still not getting destroyed by US/USSR top dogs. I strongly believe that 16v16 matches are the worst thing to happen to high tier jets, especially top tier, and I really hope, with the addition of fox3s, to have 8v8 max games, with larger maps. Might seem a bit more boring to your average weeaboo war thunder wallet warrior player, but for people wanting to notch and crank and have some interesting high altitude BVR duels such as those you see on DCS (the only reason I play top tier war thunder is because I can’t run DCS), it could be extremely fun to play

    16 v 16 on a top tier match where everyone is a fighter and clustered in the middle of the map (thanks Gaijin for expanding the map but not adding more targets on the outskirts) is definitely a horrible experience. 16 v 16 at lower BR (if the targets are spread out) would be more feasible because we start to see more attack aircrafts and bombers. I still hate Gaijin though. Player want less intense fights, thus requesting expanded map. Gaijin does that, but increases the player count while keeping all targets the same place without adding more targets. It literally just makes it frustrating for everyone. People who want less intense get way more intense and bland fight. People who want to have bigger maps don't feel a difference because all the objectives are in the middle, and everyone flocks there. Everyone experiences reduced reward because there are more people in a lobby but the same number of objectives (same number of AI planes and AI ground units and bases). Literally only Gaijin wins.

    i think the issue partly is the planes that these are based off irl and the more Arcady nature of warthunder as well. Modern jet's are a ton of fun to fly in games like dcs because alot of the fun is behind technical skill and learning how to fly the aircraft effectively, but because of how warthunder is. Its oversimplified extremely complicated weapon system's to just a few button presses. Combine that with extremely small map's and a hilariously large number of fighter's in a very small area of oporation and its just.. not fun.

    the issue with WT top tier ARB rn is maps. the maps are WAY too small still, which means everybody lemming train into a clusterfuck. WT need to either have EC ARB with no markers, randomize spawns (so everybody get spread out on multiple air fields dozens miles apart, squad spawn together), and make objectives spread out, and improve map features. map need more vertical features like high mountains - Caucasus, Rockies, the Himalayas or even the Ural mountains could all be great map inspirations.

    I think the title of the video is super accurate. The playerbase was not ready for this. Just like entering into early jets, then the missile age, this is another big learning curve for the players. Unfortunately, most people still just light the burner and charge dick first at the other team. With more ARHMs coming soon, people need to learn how to properly position and defend against these new threats. But most people would rather just complain until they nerf the new gen weapons down to marginally better 9-Ls.

    it really depends man, many have different definitions of fun. Some people enjoy top tier gameplay simply because of their likeness to modern combat. Just because nothing plays like how it use too doesnt mean its bad. You dont see american soldiers deployed in modern wars with lee enfields do we? For me id rather top tier keeps getting higher so early era jets can reach a point where their uptiers may not include supersonics with strong IR missiles because those said supersonics will be uptiered to something more closer to their era of technology. Theres a lot of crying and seething over how OUR ACTUAL WORLD chooses to progress military technology and its funny to see kids complain these details when they themselves clearly understand how miltech has progressed throughout the years and are still blinded. Its like watching a kid recite a history book and saying why is history like this ? its not fair boo hoo.

Once things like the AMRAAM enter the top tiers, that playstyle dies faster than the players still using it. My main point was that defeating the new 9M and R73 is not the impossible task that alot of the player base makes it out to be. But if you treat them like every other missile, you are going to have a bad time.

    Like you said, it's not even really the planes fault. It's flying and performing pretty much as any jet from that era should. Dogfighting is an extinct concept today and it's all about missile performance over ranges for 20+ miles. The plane can fly like a brick but it hardly matters when it's mainly about who launches what missile first. Akin to how they should add a "tank only" mode for ground players sick of CAS. They should add a "gun only" mode for air RB.

    That's why these jets must be played in simulation to have a minimum of skill and challenge. Realistic battles will quickly become boring in 12.3, because yes, the skill is just to place yourself correctly and get lucky and the rest is pressed a button and the kill is done by itself. But even in simu the F16C is very strong, I do minimum 14kills with while I do not yet have the aim9m, but its radar is so good that even with the 4xaim9l and the 2xaim7f it is formidable. But aim9m are very very very dangerous because they have no smoke and they are almost impossible to dodge.

    Sim is even more ruined than RB because of the F-16's, nothing can fight against them. Even when F-16 vs F-16 it usually boils down to who got the drop on the other or who knows they can drop throttle, open air brake, and do a very sharp turn to get a solution on the other. Top that with UStards spamming that bracket, it is not fun. Why would I bother trying to us my J-8F when 1) it gets inferior missiles that don't ignore flares 2) heavily outnumbered and 3) the F-16 gets to just UFO around and nothing I do could ever get one off me. This is why its so fucking stupid that gaijin keeps adding more US/Russia top tiers instead of other nation counterparts. If I had a J-10A, maybe I could actually keep up, but no we don't have that.

    Prop fighters are often far more fun to play. Higher tier jet combat is far too often a battle of 'haves' and 'have nots.' Missiles vs no missiles. Supersonic vs subsonic. PD radar vs radar without. Planes with countermeasures vs those without. It's not just BR compression. The attempt to represent aircraft 'faithfully' to their real life counterparts runs at odds with the fact that they very rarely get to engage in the kind of role they were really designed for. And a few zoomy meta planes with good missiles invariable come out on top. I think the fact that Gaijin skipped the Mig-25 says a lot.

    After genuinely months of grinding the American tech tree, finally getting the F16C feels like a dream. FINALLY I can have fun. Finally my grind has been worth it. Finally I feel like I’m competitive. Perhaps that will change once I’ve had it for a couple of months but right now it’s the most fun I’ve had in the game since joining (I’ve been playing on and off since 2013 very casually).

    So i just got the F-16A, And i have a few options to grind next. Overall, should i do the 16-C, 14-A, or the 16-ADF? I've heard the ADF turns better than all the three, and unfortunately the F-16A doesn't have 7M's which i was hoping for.

    F-16 ADF turns worse than the 16-A, the f-16 a is the best turning jet in the game. Personally I would just go straight for the f16-c. The f14a isn't that fun to fly as since the engines are so hot you struggle to flare aim 9l's, let alone r73 and aim9m. The f16adf is just a worse f16-c in everything but turn performance.

I'll go straight for the 16-C and then go for the F-14 line. I want the F-14 line for this intercept thing me and my friends do in customs, but also mainly because the F-18 is most likely going to come on that line. I don't really play ground, so CAS isn't really my thing unless they make the ground targets in Air RB(which I think they should) more important. After all though, the 16-C is still an F-16 and it's job is TO turn, so I'm gonna have really good turning non the less once I drop some armament.

    @@KMark43 Yeah.. My experience with top tier though is that Heat seeking missiles are kind of becoming useless with the new sensors and stuff. You have to catch your enemy off guard to get a splash with one, unlike a AIM-7 where you have to either Chaff or notch, rather than making a slight turn when the missile gets close. I used the F-4S to grind and sidewinders were a bitch to use with it, but it might be different with 9L's. Im not saying that "Oh, catching the enemy off guard is too much work" But it's much easier to get kills now by forcing gunfights because of how easily flarable the 9L and 9J are so it gets kind of to the point of why even bother.

    @@soundslikelr4104 9L is much harder to flare than the 9J. If the enemy doesnt cut their afterburner it will hit 90% of the time even if they flare. At 12.3 everyone just hugs the ground anyways which defeats radar guided missiles as it makes them just dive into the ground. The radar missiles are still useful if you catch someone not hugging the ground but the new missiles are more effective overall IMO. And if youre grinding with the F4S anyways theres no point grinding with the f16A if you dont enjoy it, youll get the f16c much faster with the premium.

    For top tier gaijin should add operations size maps with different capabilities, some matches should be carrier launched aircraft with the enemy being airfield based with your points being influenced by your planes role (no su25s and 27s turning into victims trying to dogfight my f14) if your a ground attack multirole you should be given bonus points for hitting your targets which your plane is designed to kill. Ground attack planes could be given anti base/vehicle objectives with bonus points to encourage it and fighters get bonus points for protecting the ground attack jets, if they add high tier jet bombers even stealth ones interceptors like tomcats and foxbats should be prioritized to engage them with bonus points

    The fact that the 9M is hard to decoy even front-aspect is a joke. Sure I can understand and support advanced IR missiles in game to ignore CMs when fired rear-aspect, because that makes sense, and can be pseudo notched, but near immunity to CMs in all-aspect…

    Sim battles fixes this issue very well in my opinion, although the battles are longer, maps are bigger and youre stuck in first person, the dogfights are so much better and more entertaining, and you can respawn as much as you like.

    Honestly, this is one of the many reasons top tier doesn't interest me, it feels like there is no skill required. You have to grind so long, improve your skills, invest time to understand the game's systems and mechanics just to get to 12.3, use basic combat maneuvers and boom, AIM-9M kills for days. SimplePlanes missile jousting stuff with the AI is more fun than this lmao. Personally, i'll stick to my props and subsonic gunfighters, maybe get the odd supersonic here or there like a Super Sabre or so. Great vid as always!
