You either dogfight better than everyone for 1.2 minutes, or you dogfight as well as a P51H5NA for 5 minutes with the BI. And the BI is already the BR P51H5NA should be.
I like that one.
The biggest irony is you could give AIM-9Ls to F-14A and F-18 will still do better WVR.
It did, by bringing up fuel.
If you’ve ever fought on 1.2 minutes of dogfight fuel, you know how stress-inducing that is.
The BI is objectively the most difficult 6.7 to play, and to beat it all you have to do is out-endure it.
Spitfire Mk24 and P51H5NA when played correctly can’t really die to BIs without the BI’s fuel being gone at the end of the engagement.
the BI is an extremely agile dogfighter with a rocket engine and very limited tactical freedom: You must commit to every dogfight or you’ll spend your precious fuel on just running. Besides, it gets played barely 6-7k per month.
The F-14A IRIAF gets played ±550K games in comparison.
I don’t believe ruskies are brainrotted either, though they certainly get a lot of insurances through game mechanics. And for the record, I don’t believe there’s a nation with particularly bad players or smth, that’s just a very comfortable lie to avoid elaborating further in some topics.
It performs well because its one of the best one trick ponies in the entire game. But if you happen to face it while having better positioning and energy, you should be fine if you play your energy well enough on forcing the BI to spend its fuel to keep the pace against you.
Almost as if I learned the weaknesses of the BI and used those against them.
It’s why I never went for the BI myself and never want one.
It’s a cool little rocket, but it’s not something I’d enjoy playing against semi-competent Spitfire and P51 pilots.
Just as I’d prefer to be the Su-27 or F-15 than the F-14 IRIAF or SHAR 2.
Though at least with SHAR 2 and F-14A IRIAF, they’re easier to play than a rocket interceptor.
If you die against Fakours youre sleeping at medium/high altitudes. You was killed by a Tomcat for dont know notch and now you ask for a higher BR for F-14 instead of improve your skills. Dont be ridiculous
You can very easily notch the Fakour missiles; you just need to learn how. There’s no need to change the battle rating of this fighter because its RWR and systems are much weaker than those of other fighters in the same rank. For example, if we compare it to the Su-33, this fighter is much weaker. So before publishing any text, it’s better to gain more experience yourself.
Besides. Iriaf has no place over 13.0 , heck it was moved from 12.7 just because people in premiums where whining so much from Fakours.
It has bad radar ( only Head on modes) Acm 9Km , and it is also purely Headon.
It is easyest plane to counter by turning 180 off from it.
Besides, who goes on 6km altitude in 12.0 plane in a 13.0 game, no matter is there IRIAF in there or not?
Just wait when you play 12.3 , iriaf’s are least of your worry, especially when this air event is over people just leave those iriafs back in hangar to dust until next air event.
(Yes Fakours are bst long range fox3’s just because of their speed) Not because the plane is something special or broken
