what happen if i dont have chaff and there are enemies at stratosphere
thats what been happening to me
Depends on what you’re doing, are you low to the ground? Notching?
yes terrain hug, notching 90 deg+ and flare.
9 death 5 kill rn
Honestly, try turning 180 around and heading for mountains or hills that will interrupt guidance

Cut throttle and and roll while dumping enough flares to make it seem like you have a Chinese firework factory internally
i literally connect my car sim pedal and put it as flare to literally slamming the shit out of it
like shi im not even kidding

make a loadout with bombs. go to test flight to see how many you need to destroy a base. make a keybind for “turn of weapon selection” and “drop bomb series”. mark base on map with “target point”. Fly low and pop up to drop bombs. try to keep all enemy’s to your right 1/4 hemisphere. turn on radar and scan from left to right with the box that is tall. be aware of where you are relative to your team and the bad guys. Conserve your missiles.

Another way to grind is by flanking. I was very fortunate and was getting maps like Sinai, Rocky Pillars, and other maps that have terrain though.
What I would do is go far to the left and then turn into the battle once I am at the same level as the bases, then I could pick off people who already were engaged in fighting.
Sort of like this:
(Based on where I spawn, if red side, I follow red arrow, if blue side, I follow blue arrow).
Sinai, I usually head towards the large rocky formation, no matter what side I am on, and then I turn in from there.
Rocky Pillars, I’m usually staying low to the ground on the higher plane. That way I still have altitude advantages over people who went in the middle, while also keeping myself safe.
Spain, I go towards where the ground targets are.
Southeastern/City, never go into the city. That’s just asking to black out and be hit by a million missiles. Stay by the mountains and pop out to snipe some poor soul trying to base bomb.
Vietnam, as I said, be on the flank.

yeah ive been doing that since the F-4E, honestly works very well, my missiles only hit 35/65 tho, sad. Getting upclose and personal always result in a 1 for 1

It’s 4,500lbs minimum for bombs. He should theoretically be fine with what he has stock.
AIM 120s take a wee bit to actually do what you want them to do. So fire within 6-9km (3-6 miles) and they should hit more. Otherwise if the person is not really doing any evasive manoeuvres, you should be able to hit him from 12km (9 miles).
Some easy targets are wallet warriors (F-2, Su-33, JF-17), Grippens (they are amazing dogfighters, just not good at long ranges, plus they bleed speed with okay acceleration), and MiG 29s.
Congrats man, that’s a solid effort.

Ok bro WHY IN THE FLICKEN FICK FORK WHEN I HIT 2 CRITICAL HIT I GOT ONLY ASSIST WHAT IS THIS GAME
THIS HAPPEN EVERY GAME
Do you play on NA servers?
yeah
I’ve been checking leaderboard to see if I’ve gotten uptieried with you (stock grinding F-15A) every so often since I saw this thread lol. Maybe it’s a good thing I haven’t seen yet since it means I haven’t been getting uptieried super often
lmao
wait i just realize my community tab is gone
i cant even review my playback
What are your launches usually like? Up at 8km going over like mach 1.5 shooting down at people low within 20km in headon aspect (~600 kmph closure) should be netting you good kills as long as you are able to stay up at alt uncontested.
Make sure to priotize targets up at alt with you, even throwing a aim120 at them just to buy you time can help even if the likelyhood of it hitting is low.
Sideclimbing in a half notch at the start then turning in can sometimes net you games where people don’t even bother launching on you at the start which can help a lot.
Also are you using manual radar controls? If not I highly reccomend doing so. Its pretty much mandatory for controlling high alt and finding targets below you etc.

Yeah sometimes missiles will be weird. By the way, have you ever had a target locked with the green square around it then when you fire a missile it goes for someone else 2km away? It’s gotten me 1 TK and 2 kills so far
