Stinger is 13g which, make it more towards a r530e level pull than a 9b,
which means more pulling Down goes the su22 and su25
and speed bleeding Down goes the mig23m. Yes It bleeds too much speed when defending 4 stingers. Harrier and late Hunters still standing
I’ve been playing sov 9.3-10.3 these days and I’m now laughing at my own plane’s performance; Stingers at around 9.x? It’s the BR of MIG21F13
Wonder if this thing can deal with a second one. No speed to fly away ofc.
Even 23M and SU22 cannot survive And at this BR, there starts to be OSAs and Strelas XDDD
But these ground players, the opponent team, once let my su22m3 kill 11 ground and 2 heli before spawning A SINGLE AAA
One 8.3 gepard and I would be dead.
sure u can make that comparison, but the R-530 is 15G. mostly the only thing stinger has going for it is the IRCCM and the burn time on the motor.
fact is if u are outside of a 6km bubble youre safe.
in my experience the igla has been just as dangerous but only if i dont spot it of my plane is a brick.
thats 10.3
osa should be 10.7
gepard with stinger is 9.7
gepard itself is 8.3 which is completely balanced. if youre literally outside of 2km youre safe. just keep an eye on the spawn and check ur RWR. theres no way u die to a normal gepard unless its your own mistake of having a false sense of security
Meanwhile if I’m doing anything instead of doing nothing with a 8.3-9.3 craft I would be 100% in ~3km range, if not <2km for more accurate dumb bomb drops; or straight flight for bullpup guidance.
Same thing for CAP, which makes ppl even more distracted from the ground. These fighters won’t do anything out of 1km from the enemy aircraft
This is probably why no one’s spawning planes around 8.0-11.0 xD ez turkey shoot
For su22m3, if it finishes the attack at his most manuverable speed for pulling up and leave in a straight line for best speed, it can barely reach 4km when it’s caught up by a stinger launched from behind.
