Best/first rank VIII Israeli aircraft?

Game Discussion Realistic Battle
1

Coming up on rank 8 aircraft for Israel, having done all 3 lines prior.
Which aircraft should I go for, along with any tips/tricks to playing them effectively.

2

I played a lot with the Barak II in RB trying to do some air to air, I know the Derbys are not really great but I enjoy the gaming with that beautiful aircraft.

So Barak II then?
Appreciated

Your welcome brother.

P.S.: and when you can unlock the Ra’am use it to drop that big amount of 120s.

Just grind f15 and barak 2 use both at the grb.

In all honesty, i love them all, they all have something special to them. Waiting for the Sufa to complete the F-16s :)

Sadly don’t have much of that ground tree… yet.

I don’t have either just grind for squadron magach, thats good if you know how to play.

The Strike fighter line (F-16D and F-15I) are easily the most unique and fun aircraft in rank 8 of the tree, definitely go for those then do the other F-16s, the heavy fighter line is kind of mediocre now and not really worth it

Go for the F-16D and then the F-15I. Not worth it to go for the F-16C barack II first unless you don’t care about the F-15E/L

The F-16D is almost identical to the F-16C barack II in flight performance, only worse by about 1.5% in turning performance, the main difference is that you can’t carry both derby and aim120. Contrary to popular belief, the F-16D is a bit lighter than the F-16C block 50 from the US, but with a bit less engine power. Still considerably more power than the block15’s like the F-16A OCU and the F-16AM

The derby is more fun imho because they are more focused for medium/close ranges with its superior HOBS performance, my only gripe with them is the small explosive payload, sometimes not enough to get severe damage, especially against flankers. With a small warhead, it is also less effective for ground splash damage.

By having a lower BR of 12.3 you also have more chance of getting into more favourable matchmakers. 85% of the time you will face 14.0 anyway, but in some matches there won’t be as many as if you were playing 14.0 or 13.7 yourself.
