yeah it ends up taking too much time to get authority in any dogfight youll have bled all your speed by then and be extremely suceptible to missiles (which isnt to say that its much different for other turn fighters), thats where HMD excels. Not needing complete nose authority in any dogfight tends to make them end a lot quicker or allows you to conserve energy in a fight more efficiently. It just sucks that the one thing it’s good at is exactly what will get you killed 9 times outta 10 (3rd party). And thats just if they dont get an efffective missile(s) off on you first since they dont need that authority as much. Mica’s+HMD basically make the dogfight irrelevant unless they mess up first (same goes with some russian missiles).
The performance of the Finnish F/A-18C is inferior to that of the J-11B and Su-30MKK. Its BR of 14.0 results in a poor gameplay experience, to the point where no players are willing to fly it.
