terminator122mm 1 Report post Posted May 12, 2023 Why does the Q-5L not carry flares at a BR in which missiles are the most common threat? IRL it has chaff/flares dispensers, you can even find it on wikipedia on this exact model. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have full proof of the variant Q-5L using flares pods with Full designation of this one, then Create a Bug report in the appropriate section,... whinning or ranting is not a bug report ^^" Gaijin can't use your post and say "hey, he's right you know" Because it literally have no proof from reliable sources (wikipedia also is not a reliable source) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t reported, it’s just a bunch of pics that the OP claim to prove the Q-5L had flares. Even if it got posted on the bug report site it wouldn’t be accepted. As supporting are required as well.

I only saw one link to a third party website, which Gaijin has stated multiple times arn’t considered an acceptable source. Besides even if documentation is found there’s no guarantee they be added. As Gaijin treats CM’s like ordinance load outs, as suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it carried it, they most likely will add it but Gaijin being Gaijin, they will take their time. If your talking about amount of CMs, then yeah they treat that aspect as a suggestion as rn the Isreali F-16 should be able to carry more CMs, Tornado should be able to carry way more Chaff etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ТhеКомгаdе 864 Report post Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Q-5L has ''special'' air to ground guided bombs with targeting pod. That's something you do not see around that BR, if you want to play for Air RB use Q-5A, since 5L is meant for GRB and there no flares is not a big deal. If Gaijin choose to give flares to Q-5L, it will recieve higher BR and chinese tech tree players will be left with no plane for that BR Edited May 23, 2023 by ТhеКомгаdе 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, there are aircraft far below these BR that have flares and guided weapons. Like so many things in GJ, the BR is not at all in line with other nations systems. GJ always adds a lot of new toys but never adapts the old existing vehicles to them. Give them Flair is no reason to upgrade the aircraft in BR. Other Nations have at 8.7 Planes with targeting system, flare and automatic guided Bombs and at 9.3 Planes with flare and automatic guided Rocket Edited May 24, 2023 by Rubberduck_de 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubberduck_de 17 Report post Posted May 25, 2023 And with that you have once again refuted your own argumentation, thank you. The A-6E is a more modern aircraft that has access to a lot of flairs, 4x the most modern air-to-air missiles in the game and plenty of other armament. And that's only 0.3 BR levels higher than the Q-5L which is just a pure bomber. This removes any justification for upgrading it to 10.0 just because of its tiny number of flairs. Also, you completely ignored the fact that there are already computer guided bombs at 8.7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are trying to dogfight in it, then don't expect to be able to go toe to toe with actual fighters, liklihood is that flares would make bugger all difference. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-4E is too good for 8.7, but that's that offtopic. as i said before if you want to play ARB, use Q-5A as Q-5L is GRB plane. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJ has ignored the difference between GF and AF for many years. They lump everything together with a single BR. This is also part of the current problems GJ has right now, if you haven't closed your eyes to that too. Since GJ has been dealing with this for years with one BR, you can't just come along in your wishful thinking and say that only applies to one mode and in the other mode you should take something else. You are also ignoring the BR aircraft of other nations, which are much further down the scale and offer all the functions. This is exactly GJ's current problem that they don't make global adjustments when they bring new things into the game to balance them with the rest of the existing ones. Yes TV bombs are OP on 8.7 but they are there. Whether TV missiles belong on 9.3 is also debatable but they are there. GJ has decided that this is their place. However, none of your assertions provide the slightest justification for upgrading the aircraft in BR because of the addition of 18 flair. And now you can continue to ignore 1/2 of the truth and live in your pink world. As you ignore everything else, there is no point in talking to you any further. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
