Did you really delete your “u suck” comment? Lol
One of those planes I’ll practically never fly, along with the T-2 in the Tech Tree. Can’t turn worth a damn, no flares and only good in a straight line. If you enjoy the slower F-104 play style good for you I guess.
I would love to fly the F-2A, but 13.0 with close range Fox-1s is a big no. Only reason I can make do with the Su-33 is because I can reach out and touch you from 50km away with the absolutely goated R-27ER.

Nope, moderation
F-2A is still one of the best 13.0s, the issue is that BRs are too compressed

After reading some of your comments regarding F-2A ADTW, in other threads too
You are kind of player that be liek : Guys i have good KD, y’all just suck, suck all you HAHA, I’m superior XDDD
You should know KD isn’t good indicator of plane performance, here from my lastest experience : last week i speedgrind british gripen, eft, eft aesa with FGR Phantom 2, finishing with 2.2 KD from 252 kills.
Pretty much i can push the KD around 3ish if im feeling want to play as stats padder, but i dont want since im speed grinding
Then does it means FGR Phantom 2 is good? No, thing is turd for some reasons still has same BR as F-4S and F-4J

F2a is still far from being unplayable, fox3 spam is annoying, sure, but if you’re multipathing, you don’t always have to go defensive, you can still engage people who aren’t directly in the path of a fired fox3.
Also, this goes to every fox 1 with no Datalink, you can relock them after losing lock, you just have to do it quickly. Fox 1’s need to receive radar waves from locked targets to guide towards them, even if your radar loses lock and the enemy doesn’t get too far away, you can very much relock them and the missile will receive radar waves, unlike a missile with Datalink, it just won’t actively try to look where you’re locking. This is exactly the reason I prefer the f15j instead of the f15j(m), you can relock people when they’re nothing and fox1’s usually can completely ignore notches, whereas fox3’s are easily notched.

Personally, i haven had much problems with any of that, since i finally bought it (i had it for a month as a rental when i still was kinda bad) i got a kd of 4 with it, you dont turn much, thats true, but this plane isnt played as a turnfighter, you just do passes as a 3rd party.
Also at this BR not many planes have flares for a 20G missile, and as flares for yourself you have rockets.
Slower, but turns better and has better missiles, i dont need much more.
The issue is really that I’m not too keen on buying a premium again, I already spent a good chunk of money on two prems and a marketplace kfir, and japan doesnt interest me that much.
I still wish I was there when the T2 got released, looked like utter madness lol

Su33 seems goated as hell but I literally never saw a single good player in one xD
Su27??? F4F KWS also decent
Turns pretty well for what it is actually, at the very least it pulls significant AoA
Tbh i forgot about F4F KWS since i never kill or get killed by it, thing is just rare as unicorn
For Su27/Su33 it kinda work playing hugging ground when uptier since R-27ER exist. But still sucksball to play
I just know that the Hunter F.6 turns into the T-2’s turn circle. And the Hunter from my experience doesn’t turn very hard either, wasn’t something I enjoyed. I like it when a jet can turn. This is why I enjoy planes like the Yak-23, Meteor, F-18, Gripen, Eurofighter, F-16, Su-33, Mig-21, F86 and Yak-15. I don’t very much like jets do not turn well, its not my playstyle as I specifically do not enjoy BnZ tactics. I want to go in and fight, not cosplay a supersonic drag-racer with the only difference being you’re 10 times faster and have missiles. (The only plane that doesn’t turn that I enjoy playing is the Tornado F.3.)
Iriaf is one of the more mid 13.0s man
Literal one-trick pony
Just because a 13.0 plane doesn’t have Fox-3s does it mean it’s bad
Iirc the best 13.0 is literally a fox-1 carrier (flanker)

Well, yes, but you got worse missiles in range, its slower, cant pull much AoA but its better for a ratefight or turning in general, for headons and passes the T-2 wins imo because is more responsive, the gameplay is not the best, but its good
i wouldn’t say F-14 Iran is a mid 13.0 in this Meta given they always get at least 2 to 5 kills in each matches
Average WT players just can’t see RWR
Flanker (Su-27/Su-33) “was” actually the best 13.0 before Su-30 China added.
I was very much enjoyed playing both of them since i know if facing Su-30, usually what they have is R-77, R-27ER sill has longer reach
However because Gaijin Wisdom, now we have 6xPL-12 Carrier in 13.3 and spammed to Oblivion, and you know the rest
They’re still pretty much the best
there’s no other 13.0 that can match their power
also, justifying something being bad because of a different vehicle that’s at a completely different br is kinda dumb?
How is that dumb
As long the different vehicles still in the BR range, it means it will face each other, and it will effects Matchmaking ( You Don’t Say )
Like how you actually kill Su-30 in 12.3 without any Fox-1 or Fox-3, and only non IRRCM Fox-2 missiles
Things like first F-16A become pure Suffering exactly because this reasons, it met spam Su-30
