Nah I am anti cas and I think their speed drop was bad, you are not alone.viirusiiseli wrote:I will probably just make a video showcasing this, I know it can sound like butthurt whining coming from a pilot to people who don't fly that much or at all.

It actually takes a really long time to RTB etc, with already longer reload times it's a waste of time right now with CAS helis.
Agreed, I think its just slightly too hard for your average player to consistently hit LGMs from jets as jets are a lot faster and the window the nuke is alot smaller.viirusiiseli wrote:Also another problem kind of related to thread title, jet AT missiles are worthless, because neither a laser target or a guided missile will ever score a direct on a tank reliably. They really need to have a 5-10m kill radius, if they are to be used for armor at all. Jets just aren't as steady as helis to be able to get direct hits on tanks.
Not even a skilled pilot flying dangerously slow/steady/straight with a skilled gunner can get a reliable direct on a tank.FFG wrote:Agreed, I think its just slightly too hard for your average player to consistently hit LGMs from jets as jets are a lot faster and the window the nuke is alot smaller.
That got changed for 1.4. Not sure if it was in changelogviirusiiseli wrote:Not even a skilled pilot flying dangerously slow/steady/straight with a skilled gunner can get a reliable direct on a tank.
The shaking is too much, I'm assuming it'll be even worse with the new flight physics because you can't fly steadily for shit with them.

Druid all helicopters got their speeds cut, and lost the ability to go vertically down, and the speed gained by diving a while back in previous versions. Their only usefull mode now is to fly high and hover around, especially with how hellfires act now. Flying low and fast isn't a possibility.
Couldn't have said it better myself, CAS was nerfed incredibly hard with several changes (missile turn rate, speed, dmg of missiles etc.)Imdruid wrote:I understand, the nerf to CAS has been gradual but steady. They might as well remove all Trans/CAS helis from the game because the way they keep this going. they won't be useful anywhere...
...CAS in general is in a terrible spot right now
What maps? Only one I can think of was Burger sands.viirusiiseli wrote:Couldn't have said it better myself, CAS was nerfed incredibly hard with several changes (missile turn rate, speed, dmg of missiles etc.)
Not only that, but CAS helis were nerfed to worse ones or removed entirely from several different maps. Thats been the direction for the past 2 years at least. Can only hope a DEV starts to fly CAS and realizes how shit CAS is right now when they can't get anything done with it.
what maps?? shijia, beirut, vadso, wandashan, black gold std, silent eagle alt I can go moreRabbit wrote:What maps? Only one I can think of was Burger sands.
actually very true, now theres even less reason to be hunting and roaming for targets as your time and ammunition would be better spent going for prioity targets or assisting priority teamates since you have so little time on station. i gotta say the belt fed cannons and MG's take awhile to bingo though.viirusiiseli wrote:I will probably just make a video showcasing this, I know it can sound like butthurt whining coming from a pilot to people who don't fly that much or at all.

I actually speak for this one as I did it. I had to drop VD and render distance so far you could really notice statics popping in and out, I even seriously considered removing all choppers.viirusiiseli wrote: Sbeneh hind removed
