F-2A ADTW is utter trash due to 9/10 times being uptiered against FOX-3s

F-2A does just fine wdym
It’s literally one of the best 13.0s
See this for my explanation: F-2A ADTW should be 12.7 - #22 by MiGoon_Fox-3

Its not turd
You’re just bad

It’s absolutely great in air RB too
You just need to learn how to maximise sparrows’ performance with the FM

Yep, im sure it is, I beleive its the only ESA equipped SARH slinger, which just sounds like actually interesting combo too

Look through my explanations of why it’s good here

I am absolutely fine with using it at 13.3 nowadays and I’m fairly confident I will survive at 13.7 now

The T-2 is the same, but lighter, also 2 missiles less, you will do fine on it

Yeah… but id not want to touch it until they actually fix the Hawks, especially the Hawk 209 with its missing radar I’ve not even played the 200 or 200 RDA yet, cba to grind the SLs

How about you share how to play it then? In a FOX-3 lobby. Not a generalist explanation? We will all gladly appreciate it.
For example, su-30s on your videos never act like that for me, they usually will sling a missile towards you and instantly go full notch, so even if you commit to the aim-7ms radar, death from a pitbull is assured.

Yeah, that works vs lvl 10s in their brand new Su-30MKK flying like absolute retards because they are still trying to figure out how anything works except for how to bomb bases, the F-2 will eat shit the second you face someone with some skill

TRK MEM is a thing you know
generally I will just shoot at then, wait as long as I can in a crank before notching. this gives my missile as much guidance as possible before TRK MEM takes over

once I notched their missile I will just instantly turn in and shoot the next AIM-7, I use the sparrow as a pressure missile, force them to do something. I’m not letting them just push me without pressure

next thing is positioning
F-2A has the second best 13.0 radar, you get amazing awareness, it lets you position extremely well in order to avoid having to face flankers in 1v1 situations often or you can find them and shoot at them before they can see you which more than makes up for the speed of the AIM-7

I am not saying the F-2 is some godly plane that will beat a flanker any day (the premium ones are 1000% undertiered)

but it is definitely more capable than you are making it out to be

you need to work on your positioning and awareness while learning missile mechanics first, then complain about a great plane being “terrible”

This plane have to go down on battle rating definetly, or it needs to get some fox3s, btw if i need to say about top tier planes at the moment su30 mkk is op as F****CK, MAKE IT 14.0!!

no it does not

its stronger than a few 13.0 fox 3 planes.

main issue is BR compression

It is substantially stronger than any 12.7 at the moment (even including the F-15s that should be 13.0), the only way it could go down is with nerfs.

Which would instantly make it 13.7 btw.

Than why su30 mkk is 13.3?

Because Gaijin like it being P2W. it should be at least 13.7

But if you give the ADTW AAM-4s, why would its BR be different to the TT F-2A?

because gaijin is a fan of undertiered premiums, it’s how they make money
hundreds of examples of this happening

USA has those too, so don’t go pinning this on something that just Russia has

It is a very good plane, but those strengths gets denied thanks to the black hole we have at 13.3-13.7
