Amraams are doodoo but with a good radar they can work, especially the A/B, I noticed this on the AESA Typhoon too.

What is truly a limiting factor is the biblically bad teams, I mean like US coupled with Germany.

Add France on the enemy team to the equation and the result is that your whole team gets wiped and does absolutely nothing.

I love how this topic has devolved into star scream jokes and posting gameplay because of how they just abandoned it lol.

Also are those in game camos or WTLive for the grey and stripes.

Wt live, gaijin devs could never make cool camos :)

Personally i find soviet teams more frustrating recently like how can people be that oblivious on a su30sm2

Let’s say that both German and soviet teams don’t shine for skill, but I gotta agree with you, it’s easier to be oblivious in a Eurofighter compared to an SM2…

How is it easier with that massive vertical scan zone? Irbis and Bars at least have an excuse of atrociously narrow vertical scan area, but AESA one Eurofighter literally can see everything

Radar on the Euro is great, by all means, but you have to babysit your amraams to make them work, can’t throw them over the shoulder like you do with R-77-1’s, because they are very likely to be wasted.
Also in top down attacks, which happen often in a furball meta, you kinda gotta pitch down and lead the aim-120 since they have low pull.

With the SM2 I find the playstyle to be more enjoyable, you flank, grab a ton of speed and the r77-1 coupled with a great gimbal limit to guide them in is deadly, (you can do this in the Euro too ofc but with less rewarding results at least in my experience).

i have severe skill issue with spamraams. HOW do you get them to hit? my goddamn phoenixes have a higher hit % than them. With MICA it’s really fire and forget but my amraams feel like sparrows with more range.

I try to guide them in with narrow TWS for as long as possible, usually works especially when enemies are trying to flank on the wrong side; once you wipe the 2 or 3 that try to flank you rain 120A’s on the rest of the furball and on average you can take home 2 or 3 more kills.

Playing above the furball in the F-15 is not really safe tho I guess, you got a ton of countermeasures but you don’t have an FM as good as a Rafale or EFT to defend with.

For now I actually have a slightly better KD in the GE than in the Rafale, but as you can see the difference in WR is kinda dramatic
