you’ve never played AIM-7M’s
you’ve only played AIM-7P’s for 46 games, in an aircraft you’ve only managed to get 46 air-air kills, in Air-RB games (and from your words, certainly not thanks to AIM-7P’s in the most part)
If i refer to F/A-18A average results
OK:
F/A-18A is 12.3 and you’re F/A-18C Early is 12.7
F/A-18C Early is mostly played by newbies
F/A-18A is played by people who’ve grinded the Techtree, and so they know the game better than F/A-18C Early playerbase.
and you’re overperfoming the average result of F/A-18C Early by 22%
BUT:
You’re a 8500+ Air-RB game player, not a newbie like most of the F/A-18C playerbase
“AIM-7M’s is worse than AIM-7P’s” (your words, even if you never played AIM-7M at this date)
you’re underperforming by quite a wide margin of 15.2% (without balancing the number for FlightModel performances of aircrafts and missiles)
By listing players who commented the thread so far, by the results they’ve got in F/A-18C Early // Swiss F/A-18C (same aircraft):
Better than you:
Beeschurger - experienced player of 10000+ air RB games (doing 1.641 KD ratio - USA F/A-18C Early)
DschinniTTV5259-live - experienced player of 4800 air RB games (doing 1.783 KD ratio Swiss F/A-18C Early)
Similar results than you:
Goofiedoofye - experienced player of 2100 air RB games (doing 0.963 KD ratio USA F/A-18C Early)
so no,… you actually don’t know how to use the weaponnary correctly
They’re copy-pasta AIM-7Fs, so close enough really
They’ve been mostly gun kills and/or 9L kills
As I said in my above comment, they’re basically copy-pasta AIM-7F, which are known for being wild and wacky, and yes I’m doing bad in it, but for the life of me I can’t get it to work. I do what others tell me and it just does not work, I get rather frustrated. Sorry fi I have been coming off as blunt :)
Lowkey just better players
I think I do, I just don’t use them correctly due to playstyle maybe?
Abuse the overperforming FM and engines and turn for every plane you see like a neanderthal. Seems to work for the Hornets I see in my games. Make sure you have a suicidal urge to target the stock F-14B.
Uhhhh well considering to abuse the FM you have to slow down to 4 kilometres per yes which gets you slaughtered by anyone who dares look in your direction… no thanks I’m okay
aim 7e2/skyflash has much stronger booster and reaches top speed in sub 2 seconds, while gaining 25gs at 0.7 seconds compared to the 7f which ramps up from 0 to 25gs in 1 second
