nobody forced you to grind the f106, if you wanted it sure, but you weren’t being held at gunpoint

In a straight 1v1, pretty much every tank the Hetzer faces from 5.0-3.3 has absolutely 0 chances of even damaging it frontally, whilst Hetzer can nuke pretty much everything.
Kv-7 is easier to defeat in a 1v1, but it’s other factors (namely mobility and having three guns) allows it to take on multiple enemies at once.
That’s why I said the Hetzer is more OP, but the Kv-7 is a better tank. Same relationship applies to F-106A and F-100D.
Ragebait or entire skill issue?
The narrative of the AIM-4 being useless does not hold up to any scrutiny once you get past the pop-history surface level. Its really tiresome that no-one bothers going past the “click bait” articles and videos. If it was truly garbage it would have been dropped very soon, and not kept in service for decades and even been used by foreign militaries. Go see what an actual user of the missile, Bruce Gordon had to say.

I can agree in that case. If the enemy decides to sit directly in front of them, the hetzer will do better.
You can test event vehicles before grind, so it’s your fault 💁♀️
Except it was garbage and was replaced as soon as possible with the AIM-9. Perhaps YOU should be the one to read more?

It’s not even that. Kv-7 will get more opportunities to score kills than Hetzer, but the fewer players who have to fight Hetzer are extra screwed over.
Yes, as long as they fight the hetzer head on.
The chinese 9.3 mig 21 actually holds itself pretty good cause it has two guns compared to the russian one but yeah the f106 still out accelerates, outruns, and outturns it I believe alongside an infinitely better gun setup.
Haven’t played f106 myself because I sold mine but even if missiles suck there’s some value to it having the radar guided variant allowing all aspect shots which can pick off people who are lacking some speed.
So I also think it’s the best 9.3. Could probably be 9.7 like the upengined premium ussr mig 21 as they seem somewhat similar to eachother but then again, I haven’t played either of them myself. Definitely seems to be a substantial upgrade over the 9.3 f104s though.
You can show me where the 102 or 106 ever had their missiles replaced with the Sidewinder. The Phantoms were trialing both missiles, and the poor integration of the Falcon led to them being dropped. So please, you can show me where they ever had an equally complete integration into an aircraft and were “replaced” with sidewinders.
Anything past the surface level wikipedia/pop-history understanding would be great.
Perhaps YOU could do anything more than be snarky and dismissive.
