F-14 IRAF and Fakour 90

Game Discussion Arcade Battle
,
1

This is not a Skill issue because 20 seconds after you spawn … killed by Fakour 90 , despite dumping flares and using countermeasures you are dead.

And so on, And so on.
Leaving the Battle with less than 1000 RP and negative SL due to repairs.

You cant do anything here really, this is a matter of balancing.
Fakour 90 is just Pay-to-Win and not balanced at all.

Either:
-put F-14 IRAF players all into the same lobby
or
-Nerf Fakour 90
or
-Give players a way to Research vehicles without Paying GEs or Playing against those F-14s ( Bot battles with lets just say 25% less RP, hell id even Take 75% less, just let me make progress in some way.)

I just wanted to bring Attention to this since im an A-7E-A7-D player who just gets spawnkilled by those Fakours all the time ( i need to play them rn so “Dont play A7” doesnt work)

Seriously, i Advise all Community Managers and Gaijin Devs to play rank 8 Air Ab with Jets from rank 7 against F-14 IRAF w Fakours.

This is not Fun at all.
Thanks for coming to my Ted ta— *Was killed by Fakour 90.

Fakour 90 is a radar missile, flares don’t work on radar missiles.
F-14A Iran is balanced where it is.

If you want to defeat radar missiles: Notch, chaff while notching, use multipath.

Staff already plays the game at this BR, including the Community Managers.

Doesnt Work.
Im literally flying Ace combat manuvers.
Always getting killed by it.

this isn’t ace combat. you are complaining and asking people to change things due to your skill issue.

What i mean is, i do notch.
it still hits me.
Despite me Notching.

What am i supposed to do?
This aint a skill issue. I notch and it keeps hittng me

7

youre doing something wrong while thinking youre doing it correctly. show us a video of you trying to evade the missile and getting hit

Doesnt feel that way though.
I do notch and i do know how to evade Radar Missiles

But being spawnkilled all the time is awful and frustrating even worse if you cant really do something in the A-7D/E
im sure you understand that.

no you dont since you die to them. no skilled player has this problem. just because you say so does not make it so.
either you show us a video of you trying to defeat the missile or accept that you wont get help for your issues because we cant point your faults to you if you dont cooperate, and the thing is if you came here to complain instead of to confront your skill issue you might aswell leave

erm, this topic is labelled as an ‘arcade battle’ so I am not sure that F-14A IRIAF is balanced over there with infinite missile capability and reload.

as long as Air Arcade is quite dead mode since they are putting A2D-1 on 9.0BR for punishing
and Ki-84 Hei on 7.7BR might face F-86F-30 on 8.0BR

If we are discussing about air realistic then you might right this time but… You know what I am saying now. right pal?

seems we both have very little experience with air arcades. :|

And just because you say so, doesnt make it so :)

I have my hours in this game, i earned my stripes.
Im not the best players, hell im not even good.

Im Alright at the game.
And thats more than enough for me.

But this has nothing to do with me being mediocre.
Being spawnsniped by the same missile over and over has nothing to do with my skill.

I do see them,
I do evade and yet. Hm.

What else you want me to do than notching?
let me hear it.

12

if you cant evade a radar missile it is proof of concept that you don’t got it. obviously you are here to complain instead of to grow your skillset, you just want to rant instead of getting better

show me a video of you doing it or otherwise i wont believe you that you are doing anything correctly

13

Yeah i do get what you mean.
Still it sucks being Spawnsniped all the time and basically burning SL and crews .

im only playing Air AB because all the other Modes… yeah Those are skill issues for me. I happily admit that. Air Ab is the only mode i have fun in really.

14

Or decompress the BRs.

Yes it is, at least partly.

If I am able to notch and chaff in a Mig-23MLA, you should be able too as well. I know I am not the best at it, but I also know I can get better.

15

Try it in an A-7E/D :)

have fun!

there is no reason the a-7e couldn’t perform a notch when you have 20 seconds of time to do it. This must be a skill issue instead of a plane problem. you already indicated that you have skill issue when you mentioned using flares instead of chaff.

Genuinely can’t remember the last time I died to a Phoenix / Fk90. Easiest missiles in the game to dodge besides a 9B / R3S.

Flaring will do nothing. Chaff helps a bit but it’s not reliable.

You need to notch them, multipath them, or block radar LOS by putting terrain (like a mountain) in between you and them.

If you have an RWR that shows launch pings, as well as the exact direction, it would be easier.

However, there isn’t a lot that you can do if it’s launched within a certain distance of you. Dump chaff, and try and notch/multipath.

19

Then call me BS.

if you dont trust what im saying, dont trust me.

I have no time really to record a Video just for that.
If you want to call me liar for that, do it.

if you don’t want to get better at this game and want to continue dying and blame everything else than yourself, alright. this is a common problem in this forum. people dont want to challenge themselves and believe that everything else needs to change.
