Missiles felt better than on the Lazer, probably on par with the Smugglers Run aircraft. Cannon... uuuuuuuuuuuh, at first I thought the explosion felt bigger, but that was just placebo I believe. They still pretty much one shot any vehicle, but due to only having a single cannon, the radius seems (is) smaller. You can however really feel the 20m range increase. That's a good thing. Can you spawn something like a Nightshark (give it 100% armor) and test the gun against it? Yellow Dog with Cone and Happy Hunter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad the barrage are useful too. Could you test the homing missile resistance later?

And the armor is worse when noone is sitting in it, so the results might be different if I shoot an empty plane with missiles.

Happy Hunter Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The range might help take on other jets. So much of the time they just go straight at you - well, this is gonna hit them before they hit you.

HOLY f*ckING SHIEEEEEEET The B-11 kills a 100% Nightshark in like... 1 second of sustained fire.

GLTh3Pr0 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Wait, is the Nightshark as durable as an Insurgent? If so, wow. Tanks are going to have something to really worry about. Edit: also, this makes it the second most durable aircraft (right behind the Avenger), the rest of the fighters/bombers/gunships only take half of that amount of missiles!

Was the Nightshark occupied? EDIT: Assuming that the Nightshark has 100% armored + Occupied bonus, some quick calculation with the fire rate you gave us suggests that the cannon does full RPG damage. (As opposed to Lazer/Hydra cannon that does homing missile damage) Ironically, this means the B-11 kills tanks slightly slower than the old jets (since they take the same damage from RPGs and missiles, and the B-11 shoot slower), but will shred an occupied MOC cab in like 4 seconds. More difficult, unnecsessary request in the name of SCIENCE!: Can you uh... mod the B-11 cannon explosion onto a slow-firing weapon and test how many shots it takes to kill the same Nightshark? That will give the definitive answer. Edited July 24, 2018 by Mattoropael Yellow Dog with Cone, SkylineGTRFreak and Happy Hunter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 So uh, how many explosive sniper rounds does it take? Think this is going to give our Chernobogs a purpose. Which is a great thing, need more aircraft that don't just roll over to the explosive sniper. Yellow Dog with Cone and SkylineGTRFreak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also more comparison: Unoccupied, in SP, Hunter takes 2 missiles Rogue takes 3 missiles B-11 takes 6 missiles all with 100% armor Mattoropael, GLTh3Pr0 and Yellow Dog with Cone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secrecy274 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 A thing I didn't know I wanted until I saw it. Explosive shells should have been exclusive (among planes at least) to this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great, if it did RPG damage it would be able to obliterate Insurgent, Half-Tracks and all the other very heavily armored vehicles.

Happy Hunter Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 5 explosive sniper rounds sounds a little small - but the rest sounds good, and that might change with stuff online enabled, etc. Thanks for uncovering so much by the way, would've known barely anything otherwise.

Happy Hunter Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 @SkylineGTRFreak Later could you look into the new oppressors homing missile tracking? I want to know what I'm dealing with, with those. Really hoping they're not at the same level as Deluxo missiles that never miss. Also if that thing has a weak cannon or strong one. Only if you can and have time of course. symphonight, Silencer555 and Mattoropael 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentinel Driver Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 A must-buy when it comes out for sure a beast, but relatively well balanced. Has good weapons and armor but lacks in the speed and agility department I'm so f*cking mad that they have to dripfeed all the good stuff Yellow Dog with Cone, Handsome Jack, J-Scott-D and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLTh3Pr0 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hitting a fighter with a heavy sniper is barely difficult on PC with the mouse free look, but I guess 6 is an OK amount. Leaves you enough time to take cover or lower the altitude and safely leave the area.

Cutter De Blanc Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Ideal anti-ground plane. 'bout f*ckin time I like that it's slow so you don't whiz by your target accidentally.

Commche Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 So if I'm seeing things right, it has: -Hunter style rocket barrage with the reload speed of akula rocket barrage. -Homing rockets that have the same limitations as the hydra/lazer. -Bombs -Cannon with a slower RoF and spin up time, but with greater range and much more damage. -More armor than any other aircraft except the Avenger. -Countermeasures -Slower air speed and not the best handling. All in all a true Close Air Support plane but it will be heavily disadvantaged against other jets. 79'Blazer4x4, ALifeOfMisery, Sentinel Driver and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

79'Blazer4x4 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 So it seems like this and the Stafford are the highlights of this update(I can eat my words about my "probably has the armour of a pop can" comment on the first page, glad to be proven wrong). I can't wait to get my hands on it. The liveries seem really good too, no forced camo in order to get the shark teeth like on the Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
