If it’s just about bombing, missile performance shouldn’t matter. What’s his problem?
He could basically bomb anything if he just dove in low and crawled along the ground.
Who knows?

No one else would understand, I suppose.
But there’s one thing I know for sure.
He should play the air SB on the SA server.
Then he’ll be able to fight freely in the way he desires and find happiness.
F-15A vs F-14A vs F-18A: which one is better? I need to know which one to grind.
The eagle
F-15A.
The F/A-18A isn’t bad either.
The F-14A is basically an experience ATM in the current environment.
It’s not bad in extremely rare top matches or when facing players flying blind or bots, though.
Let’s say if these 3 planes 1v1 an Su-30MK2 AMV; which one will be most likely to win in BVR, WVR and dogfighting?
What distance should be assumed for WVR?
within 10km
None of them will win against Su-30 in BVR unless Sukhoi player decides to headbutt into Phoenix missile.
As for the VVR both F-15 and F/A-18 has similiar chances.
In a vaccum the F-15 would be the easy choice, however I have noticed that 12.7 gets a lot of full uptiers while 12.3 gets plenty of downtiers. This means you can get more free kills in the F-18, while you need to work for your kills in the F-15. However, I’d actually say it’s more fun playing the F-15, and you can actually get very high scores with it, even in uptiers.
That begs the question, do you want a safe grinder or something more challenging?
Nah, but not being able to deal with it and behaving like you’re the only one being affected by br compression is.

In BVR, unless the opponent is utterly stupid, none of them stand a chance. The F-14A is out of the question. The F/A-18 has no advantages over the opponent due to energy and other issues. The F-15A might be better at evading missiles than the other two, but our missiles won’t hit either.
In VVR, it’s a choice between the F/A-18 and F-15A. For consistently evading, the F-15A is superior. For evading to make a pass, the F/A-18 is superior.
In dogfighting, I think the F/A-18 is better. However, if you want to win with the F/A-18, I think it’s only possible in a short, decisive engagement.
Why is it harder than taking down anything else around the BR?
Sparrows+ f15a = meme.
9Ms are not exaclty good either unless side aspect… From rear with enemy AB on 9Ls are better.
Im actually way more concerned if i see a mirage than a f15. Magics are actually good…
Mmh.
Honestly, I don’t get why the F-15A can’t shoot down that many enemies.
Sure, it wasn’t exactly strong even back in BR 13.0, but I don’t think it’s that weak.
And if this plane is rated at 12.7, what about the F-14A (Early)?
How is it supposed to stand up to the F-15A with that ridiculous AIM-54A, the utterly useless 9H, ACM with a 9km range, and mediocre RWR?
BVR: None
WVR: None
Dogfight: F-15
I love the f14a
It has a purpose, unique even at the BR.
Rather than firing a piece of junk like the AIM-54A that might not even hit, flying the F-15A in 13.0 is overwhelmingly better.
Fundamentally, I believe the F-15A possesses certain advantages over its peers when viewed at 13.0 (excluding some variants equipped with ARH).
Of course, it inevitably has points where it falls short compared to its opponents.
I think equipping it with the AIM-7P would be acceptable.
The F-15A has the potential to do things like this in a 13.0 match.
