[Development] Rank IX Aircraft and the F-16C Block 52!

R-77-1s are quite the guaranteed kills headon in less than 5kms, unless you are already notching.

Yes, very much

Then leave the topic and don’t comment about it, everyone wins.

Explain to me why the top tier is going head-on against a Su-30 with 12 missiles? And why are you putting yourself in a situation where it’s difficult to get a notch?

Now I will 🙂

AIM-9X is by far a lot more deadlier than any radar missile, especially close. You literally cannot compare the two

What is a valid way of seeing things? If an aircraft takes more effort to be competitive compared to other aircraft then it is worse. This is not an opinion this is a factual statement.

It’s just harder to play. For me, it doesn’t make it weaker, just harder. The CAS example was for that reason. The Russians can send six Kh-38s and kill six, but the Eurofighter can kill 12 or more if played well. Simple. One is more difficult because it has more mechanics, but if mastered, they are much more lethal.

Well, 16v16 is quite the setup to be difficult to notch a 180° of potential enemies in the initial joust, not to mention that once teams merge, your best shot if you haven’t managed to win your proper jousts, is to notch vertically due to the possibility of being outflanked by more than one ARH slinger.

Most of top tier planes have MAWs already implemented in-game, Even the suspension tracking IRCCM is still fundamentally defective against situational single flare ejections or headon/straight flaring on the missile. I mean, there’s still the kinematic evasion?

Everyone immediately thinks of the AIM-9X on the best case scenario, and under that context, the AIM-120C-5 is the best missile in-game, which by all means, it isn’t the case, and it’s not even close.

I think you still don’t understand how an IIR missile works. No matter what flares are used, they are virtually impossible to evade.

It’s harder to play because it is worse. A better aircraft is easier to use. That’s the whole damn point.

That’s just a difference in player skill. A good pilot in a worse aircraft will be more lethal than a bad pilot in a good aircraft to an extent. That is not always true.

Even if there is a merge of teams in the center of the map, try to stay away, and you will triple your score.

Oh brother

You won't teach me how to play ARB.


Kd, using stat shark to invalidate points proved what kind of player you are.You keep complaining about the game and the state of the game and not being heard. As far as I’m concerned, the discussion is over. but that’s my opinion, I accept yours

You were supposed to leave but it’s fun that you stayed. You’re definitely interested on how the US top tier is doing, especially since I remember you said the F-15C GE was okay even without its racks.

We should take you very seriously and a reliable collaborator. /s

Yes, but if you apply that to the same plane? The same thing happens. Being difficult does not mean worse; it means that there is only one barrier to being lethal.

Still is, annoying to play now with everyone firing and guiding while flying away or the odd Rafale’d moment

It works for me. 🤷‍♀️

What? That I’m able to perform on what I say is either good or bad? Or that you’re incapable of proving that US vehicles are good whatsoever with your own performance?

If what you’re saying is that I need to convince you that the US is lacking at top tier, then clearly the US top tier is subject to stay as dogwater, backed up by even your own performance on the respective vehicles.

And I’m glad it does.

I don’t care about my performance. I know how I play and how I do things. I just don’t focus on high performance for the stat shark. I’d rather die 100 times to learn something than die 20 times and kill 40 but learn nothing.

For combat aircraft? yes, yes it does. If a weapon system is harder to use than your opponents who is more likely to win? If an aircraft is harder to fly than your opponents who is more likely to win? The performance of the AIM-120 vs the R-77-1or the 9M vs the R73 is not going to be “Oh its good I just have a difficult time using it”, one will preform better than the other and that will give the advantage to whoever is using it.
