Whilst flying the F100A/D at 9.3, there’s ONE singular glaring issue I can find. Well, 2 I suppose. The Mig 21 SMT with R-60’s and all-aspect missiles.
WHY on earth, in 2026, are we still flying F100’s, Saggitarios, Arietes (though busted as all hell itself) and other 9.3 BR jets and facing 30g all aspect missiles? Even the Mig 21 SMT is a pain with the R-60’s but not nearly as bad as getting within 2-3km of a 10.3 attacker that can get it’s nose on you from any direction it’s facing. Not meant to be rant, but come on people, we need some decompression at minimum, or those attackers need to go up in BR again.
9.0-9.3 is probably my favorite BR in game, but 9.3 full uptier can be a massive headache at times. I’d even throw in Hunters and Harriers with SRAAMS in the same boat. Those are busted af now lol, but not as bad considering you’re considerably faster in the F100.
Thoughts? Besides L2P lol, I’ve been playing for years and do just fine, just pointing out this glaring… I don’t want to say unfair advantage ofc, as those jets can be MUCH slower.
Because the MiG-21s are Russian.
Mig21 with r60 is 10.3
Quit lying
Oh my bad, it’s Soviet. That’s so totally different in the grand scheme of things.
nobody even asked for it to go down from 10.7
this is such an idiotic change that ruined the lower br’s
Some asked. I know personally some of them.
Because on the other hand 8.3 flareless rocketless slow unmaneuverable early cold war jets, e.g. Sabers, MiG-15s, F-84s ect. meet your 9.3s supersonics with 9Bs.
Its called “downtier” and its balanced.
its called “compression” and its dogshit
its ok of them to be wrong
it was already a perfectly fine plane at 10.7
well as it has 4 rocket pods + flares, i tend to believe it was
Maybe also that, but thats how it is today. Its not like 9.3s suffer more with 10.3 than 8.3 with 9.3 to me.
The A10C at 11.3 is also disgusting. 4 aim9m’s at 11.3, what the fuck.
Literally abysmal dogshit of a plane. Aim-9Ms are barely an upgrade over 9Ls.
imagine complaining about an all aspect AIM-9B
Point is that it isnt a fighter, so it doesnt need to be able to compete as one.
It should be facing MiG-29’s and Su-27/33/30
That’s just stupid.
Insane take, it’s literally one of the best ir missiles in the game.
To you maybe.
No, it’s not.
Those are the contemporary Soviet fighters of the A-10… facts aren’t stupid because you don’t like them, you are.
Lmao no.
A 4th gen fighter with 12 hardpoints carrying, the best Fox-1 in the game, and the second or third best Fox-2 in the game, is not comparable to (what’s essentially) a prop plane with 4 trash Fox-2s.
A-10 fuselage itself can be talked about as an awful plane since it flies like a prop while others fly like jets. quite debatable since some skilled A-10 players are using that turn rate for gunfight though, generally it is just missile bus.
Oh no no no, don’t play AIM-9M dogshit card again here.
AIM-9M might be one of the worst IRCCM missiles, but don’t forget that it is IRCCM.
If you want to call AIM-9M barely an upgrade over 9L, then we can counteroffer that Magic 2 is barely an upgrade over Magic 1, because both are upgraded with seeker.
It is fine to defend A-10C itself, but don’t undersell AIM-9M.
For example, dealing with AIM-9M while playing F-104J would be nasty.
Think about the BR of the A-10C.
The problem is, A-10A/C and other ground attackers such as A-7 have no current places of ARB and are forced to compete as fighter jets.
Those bastards are quite hard to balance.
It is nasty to keep A-10C on 11.3 since the jets there are having a small amount of total CM, and some of the jets in the downtier don’t have one.
If decompression was held good enough amount, and the whole gameplay revamp held, then A-10C would be having better place for being balanced?
Anyway, since this topic is about the compressed shitehole of 9.3BR, maybe we can move the A-10C or AIM-9M discussion elsewhere, because continuing those ends up with a derailment shitstorm, shall we?
-
skill issue, R-60 can be barrel rolled since it has horrible energy retention and any shot from 1.7/2km will be a miss if u’re flying around 800km/h and start barrel rolling it.
-
i guess u’re talking about AIM-9L when saying all-aspect missiles? just don’t mess up with them, lol.
-
there’s something called “rockets” u can use in ur precious F-100 which can work perfectly as flares.
“all aspect missile” is technically true for ALL RADAR MISSILES, but the term in WT exists to differentiate between REAR aspect IR missiles and ALL ASPECT IR missiles.
R-3R is not good at 10.3.
R-60s are good but limited range + rear aspect + 1 flare.
Yeah they just have IOG+Shutoff IRCCM, totally doesn’t make them ignore flares at 10000x more of a rate than 9L
