And yet this video doesn’t tell the full story. Which is even more in favor of not taking the pod. Climb rates and maneuverability are also significantly reduced when the pod is equipped. Furthermore, being armed ONLY with missiles forces you to learn to be effective with them and to know how to evade them. It teaches you to break off of head ons, and forces you to get good at radar.
I rarely use the gun-pod. I usually take the AIM-9s and sparrows, If I can get atleast 2 kills. I’m happy. Also how do you feel about the drones coming?
I have a feeling the scout drone is only going to be useful at pissing off helicopters by crashing into them since it doesn't have the spotting mechanic. I think the strike drone is mostly going to be used by players that never researched CAS jets or helicopters and therefore going to be used to piss off helicopters by shooting at them then crashing into them.
@@eesangWT that’s a fair take. I think it’ll be heaven for spaa. I play mbt’s most of the time so I have a feeling it’s about to get interesting for us mbt guys. Just more CAS to deal with
I think the cannon SPAA will have a fun time shooting down drones but if I'm in a SAM SPAA I definitely don't want to be wasting ammo on drones unless I have to.
I dump all my missiles as fast as I can then go land. I don't play like this because of my fuel, I bring 20 min fuel because this is how I normally play.
