Yes, I know the Hornet isn’t very fast near the ground. But that doesn’t change the fact that a fully loaded F-16I Sufa should be faster; it should be subsonic near the ground with that kind of payload and drag. I’ve tried it in both the DCS and Falcon BMS, and the F-16 can’t fly 1,400+ km/h with a drop tanks and bombs, let alone with other payloads. In the Falcon BMS, the fully loaded Sufa goes near the ground at about 0.95 mach, compared to the insane 1.1-1.2 mach in the War Thunder.
If you now say that the F-16 in War Thunder is better modeled than in Falcon BMS, I will have no comment on that.

I measured the fuel consumption of both Hornets (F/A-18A and F/A-18C late) and you know what? They have the same consumption, even though the 402 engine has 10% more thrust. Is this realistic?
Well newer engines are often more efficient so yes that’s possible
So the consumption is absolutely identical, gallon for gallon? This is absurd.
That’s another problem

Come post that 43.5 Mile long kill shot here. And come say what you think of Americans as well :)

im trying record it with OBS, im kinda bad using replays
ok it wasn’t 70km, but it was very far and the missile already lost a lot of it’s energy (plus, i was outrunning it in the exact moment it was launched to me).
and u saying AMRAAMs are bad.
im pretty sure they actually need another nerf, just like all toptier fox-3s
obviously the worst top tier ARHs need a nerf
Why is bro not notching and trying to run away subsonically

ofc the “worst”
i notched before, didn’t work.
dropped like +50 chaffs at it
the clip literally starts with me notching
Clearly it’s cause your notching technique isn’t pristine. I recommend searching up a tutorial for it in yt
hearing this rages me 99.9% the time
you dont change direction at any point while notching and dumping chaff, of course you’re still going to get hit
go look up a guide on notching angle gate ARHs

excuse? im pitching up and down so the missile flies on IOG and it loses me since im above/below it
hearing this rages me 99.9% the time
Idk bro 26 miles for an Aim120c5 from space is easily doable. And bro you are struggling to hit mach 1, ofc that missile gonna catch up.
You showed about 30 CM in the video, in bursts of 5 for some reason.
Stop insulting americans and look into anger management sessions.
Remember
