I like the BAE system approach since it's compact. Instead of going full retard with a completely articulated arm like the russian setup, I'd probably do something like this.
>Mortar tube, loading arm, and mortar magazine are one assembly that all maintain orientation with each other
>the loading arm grasps a mortar from the magazine and then flips 180 degrees to the loading position and drops it into the tube
>the next mortar in the magazine is moved into position to be grasped for the next shot
I probably violated some kind of osha regulation for putting the magazine so close to the base of the tube, but I feel like a simple pivoting arm has fewer points of failure than a full blown robot arm.

NTA, but the secret is to already be good SARH era missile thunder. While the masses are seething, claiming bias, and all around not understanding why their radar/missiles/countermeasures aren't "working", you're just clubbing retards who don't know what they're doing.

Also nukes are cool I guess.

>>562725885
Most of the complaints is that the AA is bullshit and isn't fun to play against. ARMs are impossible to use without omniscient AI missiles shooting down any munition in the sky.

Convince me to play this

>>562726245
Nukes, rocket salvos and ARM's seem to be the most reliable way to deal with aa at the moment, followed by unguided bombs, gun strafing and tv guided missiles. And tv guided missiles are very reliant on the render in sensor view not deciding to crap out for a few seconds until you get a decnt lock.

Just try out the iconic ww2 tanks in ground realistic and see if you enjoy it

A lot of burgermutts aren't even using their F-4J/F-4S properly. They're just zooming around at multipath height while seething that sparrows are "dogshit" and how 24Rs accelerate faster. But you can comfortably fly around at ~4+km altitude on your side of the AA line, acquire a lock beyond ACM range, and shoot first from a high ground position that mitigates the effectiveness of multipathing. Once the ranges close a bit you can just pop the occasional chaff while still shooting down. Their memeTI radar doesn't work when looking up at a sky with some chaff in it.

is it normal for countermeasures to refuse to work?

you need to stop thinking about your radar like a laser. Go watch the sensor view sometime. When you lock something it's like a big-ass searchlight cone goes out from your radar to look at the target. The target may be silhouetted against the sky, but the searchlight that you're using to look at him is still illuminating the ground too. That's the problem. The target is too low and the ground is still in play. The target needs to be high enough up that your searchlight doesn't see ground.

I've tried it myself, and while you do have to deal with aa hotspots one by one and plan out the trajectory, you can get pretty consistent results either by spamming 2 or 3 ARMs within 8 km/right before it starts launching, or take the risk and just fire one immedeatly after it starts firing at you. And after you take out individual aa, you can rack up points by bombing the tanks.

What i'm not sure about is if the aa respawns in depots if it's the only thing that's taken down, since right after i take them down there's a teammate that nukes it right after, and that definitely triggers the respawn process.

Can you guess how long it takes them to rearm? Twenty (20) seconds!

>>562732621
There are frontline lookouts ahead of the depots with a spaa and a couple of tanks. The depots will send a convoy to take over those spots at random times, and will suceed if you clear them out beforehand.

>>562733780
>>562732621
Yes, but it respawn when a supply convoy (normal truck) arrives into the original position, then each truck adds some health back. I have not looked into where they spawn, possibly as far back as the AF. Hopefully not just out of air.

>>562734115
The tanks can keep pushing beyond those lookout spots and outright capture the depots if you let them. Only gaijin knows if they can potentially keep pushing further and capture an airfield. If convoy spawns were rarer than intended, then maybe tanks might do shit now.

>Still have perfect tracking

>>562732621
There are two types of bases that are arranged in two rows - frontline rally points and backline supply depots. Supply columns will spawn from the latter and move towards the former. When the former is resupplied, it will spawn armored columns that will move in the direction of the nearest enemy frontline rally point. The armored column will engage enemy ground units it encounters along the way.
There are also static dug-in groups of armored vehicles placed across the frontline, they will probably engage any approaching ground units.
Behind the frontlines two types of indirect artillery drive around - tactical ballistic missile launchers (Lance and Tochka) and MLRS (M270 and Smerch). The TBMs will definitely fire at either/both rally points and supply depots (seen it happen in a replay). The MLRS will definitely fire at the dug-in ground troops (also seen it happen in a replay). Not sure if they can target the other's targets and the columns.
If you successfully escort (protect it from enemy planes, other armored columns, dug-in troops and TBMs/MLRSs) an armored column to a rally point, it will destroy it, capture it and start repairs. It will then probably start receiving supply convoys and spawn armored columns in the direction of the corresponding nearest enemy supply depot, where it could also be captured. At the very least this clears the immediate area of enemy AA, probably also eats into the enemy's tickets.

>>562734451
Also there's gun artillery but I'm not super sure where it spawns and what it attacks, but I've definitely seen it kill something (didn't pay attention to or remember what).

>>562743679
You would need to spend some GE at this point to unlock the strategic bombers permanently. That said, you should learn enough about missile fighting and CCRP bomb computers work and throw yourself into a furball until you can afford a nuke. It is fun nuking stuff at least for the novelty of it.

I have.
I played one round with an attack aircraft, first life I flew high and died to a SAM I didn't even see, second life I flew close to the ground and died to AA without landing a single bomb yet. I spammed flares but obviously don't know what the fuck I'm doing, so I exploded and then some dude dropped a nuke and we lost all our tickets in a second.
I could imagine it being fun, but I'm just giga overwhelmed frankly, because there's a shitton of radar and I don't know what it all means yet kek.
>>562744172
I played a round, I've got a long way to go to understand top tier air battles kek. I did try some top tier premiums just for the fun of it in the past, but test flights don't have enemies, so here I just die to rockets I don't see and don't really know how to dodge.
>>562744343
Thanks anon. I haven't spent GE so far at all, and I doubt I'd want to spend them on a bomber, so this helps me accept it and move on.
>That said, you should learn enough about missile fighting and CCRP bomb computers work
I will, but this is basically a jump from a BR where there's the very first jet propulsion (no missiles yet) to top tier air battles, I'm thoroughly out of my depth.

>>562744394
Ah so that's why I keep seeing >>562744748 at the end of my rounds. It was a reference all along.

>>562744748
/tv/ tells me it's good
i don't agree

>>562745021
Use some of the high tier premiums in test flights to familiarize yourself with assorted mechanics. "CCRP" bombing is the best way to deploy the nuke.

In a perfect world you'd learn how to use your radar guided missiles. Both the R-24Rs on the mig-23, and the dogfight sparrows on the F-4E. But if you're just a newfag trying to get the experience of dropping a nuke, then you should probably just go hog wild with spamming IR guided missiles at people. In regards to defending against enemy radar, the easiest way to do so is to "multipath", which basically means flying 30-50m above the ground. Enable your radar altimeter in settings to see your precise altitude above the ground. Flying that low makes it harder for people to hit you with radar guided missiles. It's not foolproof but it's a solid defense.

For countermeasures you are probably best off just spamming flares. Chaff requires some more thinking to get value out of it.

using CCRP will also require you to first designate a "sensor point of interest" as your target location. Youtube videos about CCRP should cover that, but it's a keybind that you'll need.

honestly if you want to dip your feet into topslop air i suggest test drive premiums before you try any pvp mode (terst flights do have enemies now air and ground)

you dont need to understand a lot of radar shit for the event, only that non pd radars get ground echo and dont work at low altitude (like the f-4es)
radar keys that are needed are change mode, change target, lock target and maybe beyodn visual mode
other shit can be done with the radar interface, like panning left right just drag the cone arround or use the little dongle on the left of the radar screen for up/down

>>562747572
2 tubes btw lmaoo
switch secondary weapons do switch between missles and you are good

if you want to ccrp fling bombs/nukes you need a keybind for target point/ sight sabilization (dunno which one of it is for me) and auto release bombs with ccrp
then just designate a target either with the keybind or with the map, sleect bombs, fly low towards the line, as you get close (out of spaa range) pull up and hold space

you can practice that in the test flights, there are stationary and atttacking spaas further out

as for actual fights in the event, take middle airfield, select your ir missle, have a flare key, head for the furball in the middle and prefalre anyone flying straight into you <5km and remember that AI spaa will get you if you get within 12-10km

This is much more than EC, in the effort and resources poured into it, their aspirations with it, AND the setup isn't rigged to generate poor player feedback this time.

>These sparrows are completely useless and this phantom's radar sucks ass (the phantom in question was the F-4S)
>Russian bias Osa shot me down while I was flaring AND chaffing
>Flares are useless against R-60Ms
They'll rant about how everything is unfair and the grass is greener on the other side, but they won't even bring up the noteworthy points like the mig's MTI radar

>>562775209
>F-4E is actually a formidable jet because of the 9Ls and a decent airframe
neither of those things is true
aim-9ls are the only good part of the plane, but r-60Ms are better for headon spam which is what happens in this event

>>562777657
you have the gatling for head ons

>>562777984
it is not feasible to regularly get gun kills in an event where the free plane goes mach 1.2 on the deck

players queuing into the event without a vehicle in either br range should be randomly sorted into either BR bracket to reduce wait times for the upper bracket
you cannot change my mind

Gaijin has heard your cries, and to speed up the top tier USA queue times, they'll be adding the Su-27SM to the russian lineup.

>>562789895
honestly i would rather be in an f-14b than a su-27sm
ARH is just easier to spam and j out

It's just fucking annoying playing against the USA teams. They fly over the horizon in F-15s and F-14s, spam a billion phoenixes and 9Ms at everything that moves, and then nose down into the dirt to repeat. In contrast the mig and yak barely have any missiles and at most they're focusing on one guy at a time. Play in the lower bracket and the F-4S and J mop the floor with the 23.

>>562792542
>f15s are bvring me with 9ms
what level of krokodil-induced mania are you on

9M has longer range that 7E-DF

Are we downplaying 9Ms again?

stop pretending to be two people just because nobody is buying into your retarded bait of 9ms being a bvr missile pidor

>>562791964
>kill him

No one said sidewinders were BVR.

9M have less range than 120D

napalm bombs that is. I should probably go to sleep.

>>562797873
You need two direct hits with 500kg bombs to take out depots, or two Mavs/Whatever the Russian TV missile is. It's pretty impressive that what looks like a normal structure/fuel silo is completely immune to every other weapon

>>562798138
I was hoping that napalm would be effective against depots, but from what I could tell the napalm did literally nothing. I'd assume a napalm bomb strike a fuel silo would cause some damage but nope.

>>562798525
It's amazing how blatantly obvious the napalm update was slopped out just to say they had something new

>>562798593
I'm just annoyed at how worthless ground attack is in a mode where it should be shining the brightest.

>>562799801
I could deal with the retard strong AA if attacking it provided appropriate rewards. But no, you get pennies for attacking the AA. It is ten times more lucrative to just dive into the retard furball and pretend it's ARB

>>562799984
Each furball wave lasts 30 seconds since everyone dies in headons and then get picked off by each others AA, unless someone is actively just bombing the Convoys and depotswhich then you'll get spawncamping and etc

the lesson they're going to take from nuclear thunder:

>players love when there is AAA everywhere because it reduces degrees of freedom and makes maps very simple MOBA experiences like ground forces
>let's add strong SACLOS SPAA to every map

>>562800125
I hate to say it, but most of my deaths are must just deliberately going nose down into the dirt after expending my missiles since there is zero penalty to dying beyond paying repair costs and this is the fastest way to resupply.

>widest TWS search pattern
>clear skies
>random Mig 29 materializes 9km in front of me and fires an R73 at me
like what the fuck
>>562800473
It's the way cause i'm not giving my kill to some retarded chinese name

>>562800780
I saw the inverse happen. I launched an R-27ER at an F-15 that was ~7km in front of me and then he just vanished like aliens abducted him. I was pissed since the 141 gets fuckall for missile supply.

>>562800473
getting shot down by enemy player yields you ~30 SP and a spare change score, lawndarting or getting ack'd by SPAA is counterproductive if you're in it just to grind the needful

WHY DO THEY NEED TO HAVE BUKS MAN FUCK, STRAIGHT UP NOT HAVING FUN RN

>>562801046
I'll keep that in mind if there's any enemy players around. I often find myself being one of the last ones standing in the furball and it's just faster to find the nearest tree than spend minutes dicking around.

I think the Harrier with BVRs should've be allowed

They should've let chinks or some other countries like France in so I could use my kinowaffen instead of being stuck in poop jets

still not wednesday, my dudes

is the R-24R lost technology?
you can multipath 27ERs and R-77s just fine, but somehow 24Rs can't be multipathed because you just can't okay?

>>562806512
its just coz this event is headon city

two planes headonning each other at mach 1.1 on the deck, if the mig points 15 degrees upwards it'll hit from above

>>562806512
It's in your head. 24rs can be multipathed just fine. Aim7fs though? Those are a lot harder for the ruskies to multipath since f4j and f4s are free to fly high and lob the sparrows down from high angles of attack. A little bit of pre-chaffing prevents the migs from shooting back because garbage mti can't operate to filter out the chaff when looking up.

I'm no explosives expert but I don't think a 6kg warhead should cause one of the largest bombers ever made to explode like it got hit by an S-300
didn't one get hit by an AGM-88 in desert storm and fly back?

>>562807221
The mutt probably took 72 hours of fuel for a 3 minute glide to the drop site

>>562807221
there was an issue 3-4mos ago where missiles were not killing planes and it would take 2-4 to finish someone
they "fixed" it by adding a hard statistical check for warheads over a certain size to detonate fuel tanks

>>562807353
actually full fuel tanks would be less explosive due to less fuel vapor in the tanks
>t. explosives expert

>>562807849
Aren't aircraft fuel tanks pumped with neutral gas specifically to prevent creating an explosive air-fuel mixture inside?

>>562806512
This is taking me back, 24Rs used to be rape machines and are still probably the 3rd best missile Puccia has to this day
