Yeah, the hunter f.6 at br 9.7 (ARB) is just a new level of frustration at stock since you mostly meet br > 10 with better speed, turn, missiles and flares…
I played the Hunter F6 with SRAAMS quite a bit at 9.7 and for me it worked out fine. Uptiers can be harsh ofc. I try to use rockets as flares. Works good against frontal shots by all aspect missiles at least. The SRAAMS are kinda criminal in a downtier. However against a plane with better flight performance and with flares you are a sitting duck. Just my observations.
