The F15A is a 13.0 jet. DId you even read what I said at all?

I said the F18A should be 12.7 the F18A/C should be 13.0

Comparing the 18A/C early to the F15A

i actually changed my strategy and my kd and wr shot up dramatically, basically i stopped using the 530f and only use 530e instead if only to pressure people and push them into gun range, afterburner is max at all times since you never rip even in a straight line, the F1C is legit one of the fastest jets for its BR, i never, ever drop below mach because you turn in a fat brick.

the goal is to kill with your magics, maybe lob your 530s at randoms and transition into gunfighter since its kind of ok at that, genuinely works really well, especially with very low fuel, usually i take 17 min since the fuel efficiency of the engine is kind of cracked

43

I take 12 mins and a tank usually.

Also this topics on the F18A, but yeah teh 530E i kind astopped using and just lob the 530Fs at unwary targets, really hand late game when folks are low on CMs usually chaffe.

Nah you dont, unless you drop speed bellow aboit 750 kmph then yeah it gets a bit spicy a

45

because the su27 is a sidegrade to su33 and is the tech tree vehicle

Not that much better , the main thing is the better avionic anyway. All su27 variants are kinda meh in the FM department

Yeah seen they got a touchup recently, though they seem like flying busses.

Hence why i went the Fulcrum line…
The smt seems, fun…

51

su27 has more CM (important, as su33 only has 48) and the FM difference is there

Aye the 29 smt, im grinding it out now

55

good players will be able to make use of its very capable radar/rwr/missiles (even if you only get 6)

but the FM is as bad as you probably think, a fatter 12.7 mig29

It feels not too shabby in the Test drive with 28 minutes of fuel.

Though test drives never the same as the RB or sim.

Im used to the 4 R-darters on the Grip anyways so im sure 6 is a welcome change.

I seen folks like defyn absolutely rag on the FM of the SMT so im a tad worried but yeah ill see how I get on, having a lot of fun with just the 29 so can see me enjoying the SMT

Cheers for the insight :D
