#Ifrit should not have (most) bombs in its internal bays

Hold up I think I got the numbers a bit wrong, let me check rq

#

fixed

#

To be honest this will also counter the "human piledriver" strat where players climb to 16km and dive bomb airbases

  • Existing technology cannot be nerfed (eg. don't suggest balancing nukes by making them large or cumbersome; nukes are not large or cumbersome)

I did not suggest that bro, did you even read it?

#

Think of it like this, "Just because it fits, doesn't mean it should exist." Since when has anyone actually used the demo bombs on a tarantula or cruise missiles for the medusa?

#

The biggest problem, at least in PvE, is that human piledriver strat I mentioned earlier, where players can utterly destroy airbases with relatively low effort

Listen tell me what's exactly wrong with it so I can know what the issue is without annoying the crap out of me
because this isn't productive at all

This bombs fits completely fine inside of Ifrit's bays

#

so can PAB-125 external pylons but I don't see them as a loadout option

Nerfing the Ifrit’s internal bomb load won’t make the Darkreach worth taking lol

The issues with the Darkreach exist because of the Darkreach itself, you could remove every bomb from the Ifrit and Vortex (internal and external) and players still wouldn’t bomb with 250s in a Darkreach because surprise large subsonic carpet bombing kinda sucks post bomb-glide-nerf

my main gripe is that the ifrit is way too overpowered and it needs a nerf, it's too good at everything and that was my best idea

You’re upset the stealth multirole air superiority fighter is

…good at being a multirole stealth air superiority fighter?

I guess I'm looking at it too much as a gameplay perspective and less a realistic perspective

#

Also doesn’t make sense from a gameplay perspective either. You’re suggesting a broad, massive nerf to a single aircraft because another aircraft is lackluster. Why not look at ways to buff underperforming aircraft, instead of nerfing things so that everything sucks?

#

My points about the darkreach were more a side effect to the nerf than the main focus, and I'm also just angry how supposedly the ifrit's competition, the vortex, just completely sucks
ifrit's good at everything and vortex is bad at everything

…so your solution is to nerf the Ifrit so they both suck. And nerf it in a way that would make the faction divorce even more imbalanced.

whatever I'm not thinking with my brain

what is the suggestion

#

the only reasonable solution to the bomber problem is to make bombers way more resilient to long range defenses and improve their sensors.

It is a MASSIVE aircraft, it has room.

also if you want 16x pab125 external just download qol shrug

the 4x external mount is still in game files, qol mod readds them
