Since they put it on 12.7, the IRIAF is just dead in the Air. So often I just send my Fakours off into the sunset and never hear of them again. What more can I do besides climb up to 3-5000 meters and launch when I get the double red circle? It is just a sad plane now, with its greatest feature completely neutered and useless.
Thanks for ruining every single great thing in this game that is not russian.
I can’t really have an opinion on this because i am still at the first stuka
Don’t fire from out of ranges- while they theoretically have a range of like 100km you will be much more likely to get a kill if launched within 40km. So climb carrying as many Fakours as possible, spam them out on different targets from around 40km, RTB once they hit or miss, and switch to a more balanced loadout utilizing the excellent R-27Rs and AIM-9Ps (and still a couple Fakours for good measure)
I hit two people with them and only got crits. Did not even show me an assist when a teammate killed one of them :(
Also good luck getting to sub 40km at 3000-5000 meters with an F-15E shooting at you. Pantsir of the skies, literally. One kill is lucky, two are rare. And I got four killstreaks with my Fakours before, I am not doing anything different now.
get good bro, you still have missles that have more range than AMRAAMs ffs
But they never hit no matter if I launch them at 80km, 60, 50, 40, 35…
F-15A or C/E? The F-15As only have AIM-7Ms- while good missiles, you have a massive range advantage with Fakours, Sedjeels, or even R-27s. Keep them outside of 20km and they can’t really hurt you.
For F-15C/Es it’s a bit different as they have AMRAAMs. Your Fakours still outrange those by quite a margin but you need to be more careful. So if you’re at max uptier then it’s actually a good idea to try to launch at 50 or even 60km, then go evasive. The AMRAAMs are only really good out to about 30km but can still strike out to even 50 if the target (you) isn’t evading.
Fortunately since you are at max uptier to fight F-15Cs and the like, there will only ever be 4 on the enemy team.
F-15E. No kidding. And MSIP II.
Do they allow personal blogs here now
IRIAF still too low in BR, its miles better than the F14B, shoud be 13.3 or AT LEAST 13.0
Wow, getting kills actually requires some thought and not just spamming fire and forget missiles mindlessly??? No way.
I’m assuming this is bait, but if it’s not, you should try playing top tier russian air - it’s terrible.
It’s literally how the IRIAF and BVR jets are supposed to be played. Launch from far away with decent speed and altitude. But since this intended playstyle does not seem to work, it is only fair to ask why that is exactly.
F-14A Iran should’ve only went up to 12.7 when most 13.7s went up to 14.0.
braindead take, why all iriaf players only want to stomp mindlessly and do not want to have a fair fight?
@ayanamiP
Of course you claim that moving the Iranian F-14A up is a bad take.
Your post speaks for itself.
Ironically you claimed that the F-14A is better than the F-14B which is also blatantly false.
about time, made the BR range a pain to play for the longest time
Ironically?
Do you really think that a plane with blatently OP missles is worse than a plane that its only advantage are its engines and a better RWR?
Why the IRIAF was reking all planes on a lobby? Why do you think that nobody plays the F14B and F14A and instead plays Iranian F14? A advice, its not only because its a event plane
The missiles are not OP, they are long-range faster AIM-54s. There is no maneuverability buff, it’s the same maneuverability, just faster.
It’s not an AIM-120.
F-14B has better IR missiles, better countermeasures, infinitely better RWR, and far better engines that make the F-14B equivalent to F-15A/C while F-14A is equivalent to Mig-23MLD and F-111F in airframe performance. There’s no reason for me to play either F-14A when there’s a better F-14A at 11.7 and it’s an Aardvark.
People don’t play the F-14B cause it’s the same BR as the F-15A, and no one plays the F-14A Iran either beyond trying to spade it, they play the superior F-16A instead.
lol
The Falkour have 30% more deltaV, +3Gs of Max overload and is MUCH faster, its SUPER cracked
If this is not OP on 12.7, I dont know what OP means…
Why do you want flight performance if you launch the missles 30, 50KM away? IRIAF is much closer to 13.0, than 12.7
Just remeber what do you play against in 12.7, SPARROWS and R27Rs
G overload is not maneuverability, that’s how many Gs the missile pulls in a turn, which the faster a missile goes the more Gs is pulls doing the same turn.
AIM-7Fs are a meta radar missile, just like Fakour, R-27, etc.
All have similar weaknesses.
