I have been playing a lot of Mirage 4000 and I have noticed that 10 out of 10 battles have been uptiers against fox-3 planes. So you either hope that you will get in a down tier so that you only meet some Fox-3 slingers, otherwise you just die.
If 13.0 planes would be getting down tiers at least once every 5 games, but there are so many people playing the highest ranking planes that you never get into a down tier.
I hold the opinion that almost all planes with Fox-3s should only be facing planes with Fox-3s. There are exceptions to that, but no way should a F-15C be facing a Mig-29, Mirage 4000 or a F-16A.
Planes with Fox-3s have such a huge leap in terms of capabilities and (air-to-air) versitility compared to planes that do not have that luxury. These fight are incredibly one sided.
What is your take ?
