yes but at least, even if its garbage to do, you can attack light ground targets OR other planes. I had to get the bomb mod for the D4Y2/3s by plinking at enemy fighters with 2 7.92mm guns in an attacker.
True, but americans make it an art with their absurd speeds letting them dictate stuff. It’s fun when you get a impromptu wingman as america.
Theres quite a lot of planes that can do same thing.
But if US does that more due to players… smart move
This is simply untrue.
Also wrong the F2 does, with every other powercreep mobiles ( Jas39A, F15A,Kfir C10…) slightly behind it.
And at top tier, the addition of the su30 had caused a mass migration of us mains, towards more handheld brackets, since now they had to fight something with actual hands and a big number of them too.
But now the rafale powercreep has caused france to stomp on everyone equally.
Matter of fact, whichever team has france on it’s side will most likely win.
I wouldn’t say handheld, but from like 10.7 up to 11.7 redfor has quite an advantage in terms of vehicles, with some some pretty op stuff like; Mig23MLD, J7E…
But blue also has it’s op tools at that br, most notably the A10C.
Every time I got into a 12.7 lobby before the F18 it was F4S Vs Mig29s and yak141s, usually 2 Redford to every blue for
Gripen can be on either team.
Kfir c10 isn’t that strong compared to the ice which has more missiles and better missiles.
Blue always outnumbered red, even more so since the F14 iriaf event.
there were also always F16s and f14s at 12.7 and F15s at 13.0, all of them are on par or even vastly better than the 29
The only relevant plane red has at 12.7 is the yak (too bad barely anyone uses it compared to the mig) and the mirage 2000 cs5 (but only if france happens to be on red).
Yes and? it is still op, arguably the 2nd best 13.0
Kfir might as well be better than the ice.
it has less missiles yes, but the derby might as well be better than the amraam in relevant scenarios, not even counting that the kfir has an aesa radar, an HMD and a superior flight model.
IMO from around 8.0 to around 9.7, redfor has an advantage. Then from around 10.0 to 10.7 blue for has a pretty nice advantage. Then from 11.0 to around 12.0 red for dominates, then from 12.3 to 13.0 blue for dominates (although German fa18 kinda saved 12.7 red for). And then top tier is pretty darn balanced.
If gaijin wants to balance 13.0, they should move su27s/j11 down (much worse aircraft than the f-2), while also moving down the British tornado ( I have no idea why it’s higher than the German phantom while having a much worse fm but ig Better ir missiles) while also giving the j8f its pl8bs. For 11.7/12.0, I can see them moving down some of the early pd phantoms because the British ones are already are a much lower br, so I can see them moving down the f4s/j which will help balance it a bit. (Also why tf is the f4 junk the same br as the American ones while being a literal worse British phantom essentially) For 10.7 to 10.0, the f-5a variants or corsairs just fry everything and the first us phantom having e2 sparrows are so nasty. But at the same time you can’t really move down something like the 21 bis (6 all aspect missiles even if they’re dogshit is no joke), so you can’t really do anything there. For 9.7 down to 8.0 it’s fairly balanced with an edge to red imo but it’s not too bad. And below 8.0 I don’t play
