Hey everyone, thanks for all of your feedback regarding attack aircraft in Air Battles, after reading through everything we’d like to let you know what we’re planning for aircraft such as the A-10s, the A-6E TRAM, and the initial Su-25 variants (the regular version and the K version).
While these aircraft have average or in some cases below average efficiency, they do still carry potent missiles regardless. Due to this, after the next major update we’ll be implementing the following two changes together:
--The Battle Ratings of the A-10s, Su-25 and Su-25k, and the A-6E TRAM in Air Battles will be increased by 1 step (for example the A-10A Late will move from 10.3 to 10.7). This is so that some aircraft below the Battle Rating of these attackers that lack countermeasures will stop facing them at all or face them less frequently.
--In tandem with this, the spawn points of these attackers will be moved closer to the main combat zone in Air Battles. This will help these aircraft carry out their primary ground attack role at a higher Battle Rating — giving them greater ability to perform despite coming up against stronger aircraft, potentially increasing or maintaining their current level of effectiveness.
We understand the point that head to head, aircraft without countermeasures facing all-aspect missiles from these attackers feels unfair. And while statistically, instances where aircraft without countermeasures meet these attackers are much less common, we can see that this matchup can be frustrating, as there are no effective means of countering an all-aspect missile once entering the launch range without flares.
However, simply raising the BR would in turn be unfair to the attack aircraft, which already have below average efficiency and would in turn earn even less. This is why we propose a twofold solution in this case, where attack aircraft will have more ability to attack ground targets even while facing stronger enemies, which is an inevitability with their BR increase.
As mentioned, the above changes will go live after the major update as we need some time to implement and plan the locations of these spawn points. Additionally, the Battle Rating changes table has received 2 extra changes (the Super Etendard and the J-11) and these are to be implemented today along with the rest of the changes.
