Thats just bad luck that sometimes happens, and has always happened, its massive warhead after all for A2A missile
Now I agree that A-10 is garbage CAS option, you have to be stupid to be killed by it in a Jet and its by far one of easiest to take care of in an SPAA.
But multipathing is alive and well, its only reason I am able to do well in Air RB top tier still with non BVR capable Jet
I mean, if they engage you and you get to actually fight them, its fine.
It’s the F-104s that use their speed to become nearly untouchable are the ones that take away the fun
Also encountered a P-36G at 9.7 and he was trying to head me on, I managed to kill him but I would’ve cried if he had actually shot me down or set me on fire.
