This is clearly not what I said
When did I say it wasn’t
Lol ofc just do this does not make something balanced, the plane is clearly OP
I just meant in regards to if it ends up 9.3 9.7 or 10.0
9.3 is where it should be, but the BR compression issue will always be present. 8.3 jets will have a hell of a time dealing with the F3H-2 and 10.3 jets will clown on the F3H-2, such is the way of the snail
Don’t worry next update they will add 0.3 rating to top tier stuff and leave the rest to rot
thats not how people play tho is it? blaming bad players isnt an excuse either as this is the sabre BR, that BR is full of seasoned players that know how to play better than 80% of all other players looking for a good dogfight away from missiles.
the sparrow is an absurd standoff missile for the BR. 4km head on and its going to kill once it turns in. side on within a similar range and its a garanteed kill its only really rear aspect obvious launches or stupid close-by shots that will fail to kill.
the only thing that makes that missile “bad” to people is that it takes a second to gain control which is only a problem from user error.
Only if they add even more powerful jets on top, so it cancels it out
good joke
Roll and pitch. problem solved.

Yes, you inserted “and fly straight” like it matters if you cant see the missile because its an all aspect missile with good range and you don’t have an RWR
Ngl there are some good players mainly in ariete but a lot of really silly fellas too
The current 7C outperforms the old 11.0 7Es and they patched the sparrow roll, fyi

Ariete is a handheld premium jet
id argue its better than an aim-9D as it can be fired off boresight and at all aspect within reason.
Then again i found the R3R to be a damn good missile in SEAD mode and that seems to be a very controversial one to say out loud in a forum thread full of russia mains. perhaps i just have far too low standards after dealing with some really crappy planes grinding the UK tree out
The plane doesn’t require any amount of skill to get high K/D ratios.
Obviously, but there’s clearly some smarter ones who will actually never let you 20g missile them among other things
sparrow rolling isnt a thing anymore after the sparrow buffs. get real
Many 9.7+ can perfectly outroll even the new AIM-7E-2. 9.0 jets can, for the most part have even an easier time doing the same against the 7C.
Only the AIM-7F is now almost impossible to roll within ideal ranges, and probably the supertemp
AIM-7e2/skytrash is a very solid missile once in range. did a match of NE with the FG2 and even tho it was hornet uptier hell its basically a garanteed kill. Its not rollable, theres no escaping it unless you chaff out the radar.
have you faced all the variants of sparrows much post buff? it doesnt sound like you have.
Usually I found old aim7e2 even with anything but goofy launch position it almost always killed ngl, an understated weapon unless someone moves just seeing your f4 without the missile even being fired yet

Skytrash/7e2 pre buffs was still good enough to even make a plane as abysmally crap as the hawk 200 RDA have at least one free kill before being blasted out the sky for being a 7.0 airframe at 11.3.
Its certainly better away from the rather mid radar of the F-4J/K phantoms as you can get locks better. Scary missile family to dare face

Had to stockgrind with the skyflash DF and safe to say almost all the shots i took with it in the F.3 was either defeated kinematically (it running out of energy), getting notched or it outright hitting. People weren’t able to roll mine at all.
