The fact that it overestimates/underestimates what planes actually do in-game depending on speeds. Some have curves that closely match, some don’t, some do partially match.
Since it’s inconsistent we can’t rely heavily on it to compare different jets. You can however, use it to compare different variants within the same platform, roughly speaking, to get a reference between them, but the actual values might be wrong for some, or all speeds.
In this thread, people full on “guessing” (read: trying to make things worse that they dont play) using the guise of “realism” (of which they have no sources for) to get the flankers nerfed.
I play flankers, and play them quite a lot. But it doens’t feel right playing OP stuff. I also complained a lot about the ayit when I was playing it at 9.3
The best jet overall might still be the rafale due to acceleration and micas. But in a dogfight after merging its very hard or impossible to survive a 30sm2, unless you catch him heavy on fuel and at low altitude
Maybe Gajin should slow down with ru buffs for now. What happened in the last half year and especially the last patches is simply too much. Its ok if this company leans to Ru, but others also want to play this game. First R77-1 super buff and now the Flankers go the ufo way. Not even talking about naval or ground.
