Yeah, tomorrow is going to be a shitshow with how many people are going to be complaining about the F-90. I’m going to go ahead and set up my popcorn supplies lol.

The Fakour will be somewhat viable under 10-15km unlike the Phoenix which is complete dead weight at short range because of the abysmal acceleration. Only 15G but it will at least be able to pull those.
I just wish you could carry 6x of them since it will be the IRIAF main weapon (sedjil looks pretty meh).
A better BVR platform but It will struggle in wvr engagements with only 2x subpar r-27r1 and aim-9p. A sidegrade overall compared to the regular F-14A imo and I like that.
Not sure if no Fakour for the wing pylons is intended or WIP.
Because if anything, there’s no proof that the underbelly pylons can carry the Fakour (though one would assume given that it’s basically the same size and shape as AIM-54, and the ability to carry it on the underbelly pylons would basically be the main point of using the AIM-54 body instead of the MIM-23B Hawk body).
All the Fakour-90 (and AD-40A export variant/offering) test launch videos that exist have them mounted on the wing pylons.

1 kill per game, insane abuse

it is because 90% of these kills is with the 27ER… Mind you it took about 10-15 games to unlock it…And it was back before the multipathing changes… Think on that for a bit…
no ways for going to Russian TT beacuse all of them are still F-5E
They are a separate vehicle which was made from the basis of the F-5 series of aircraft, they are NOT F-5s and only share similar frames.
They seem to have a similar digital display on their MFDs to Russian modernised Sukhois, they may of gotten help from the Russians.
What else should they be with? R60M which is dead weight? Or with the gun that gets dragged down by a shitty FM?
90% of kills being with the ER, having 65 kills per 65 battles, that sums up to an average 1 kill per game while having 2 ERs total. So a 50% kill ratio with them? That’s insanely op bro

“Mind you it took about 10-15 games to unlock it…And it was back before the multipathing changes… Think on that for a bit…”
And you are disregarding the fact Im talking about using the ER’s with dataling and to snipe people further than a phoenix ever could and with a few seconds warning only unlike the phoenix…
So yea, insanely OP and abused… Now go back to your cave unless you have something of value to say.
And you know exactly what I am talking about because you have been doing the exact same thing
What are you even arguing about?
You can kill bots with a phoenix as well. It’s their fault for not even trying to defend an incoming missile. Yes the ER was the best radar missile, but the mig29 had other compromises.
ER didn’t make anywhere near 90% of my kills.

İt has like 3/5 the range of 7F, on a worse platform. (F-16 vs Mig-29)

Maybe? I remember there was a test video of the F-90 barely being able to kill a target thats offset because it accelerates way too fast and it doesn’t have enough AoA to pull more than 10Gs so its turning radius is extremely big. Once I finish spading my Iran F-14 I’ll try it under 10km.
On release the MiG-29 was not a worse platform especially after the February buff.
The MiG-29 had a top speed of over 1570km/h IAS and it could actually get there
Better AoA at all speeds and could pull more Gs at higher speeds
Has HMD, very nice paired with radar missiles
The F-16 had better rate below 800km/h IAS
Better radar
It was only when the F-16 got an insane unrealistic buff and a MiG-29 nerf during October when the F-16 overtook the MiG-29 as a better platform.
mig29 got nerfed because of oveperforming… fun fact
And F-16 became UFO, fun fact

yes, because of G-limiter removed.
but performing fine in sustained turn
Yes because we see max range sparrow launches all the time… You are lucky to hit someone 15km away…
The only advantage of the R-27R is that it has IOG and thats it.
The hailstorm of aim54s weve been seeing for the last month is ridiculous, they need to be put up to a BR where spamming Pheonix missiles means you’re going to eat an AMRAAM otherwise 11.3-13.0 is going to be damn near unplayable forever
