With proper balancing it would be fine to move it up and spread out BRs. As of now there’s no reason to send more flareless planes into battle against AIM-9Ls, Python 3s, R-73s and Magic IIs.
Move the MiG-21SMT up, space 10.0-11.3 properly and than it can move.
at its core, IR signatures need a ground up overhaul and that is a huge ask, let alone a huge undertaking. (some hints its being worked on though) But as a short term stop gap. the code added to “model” the F-117s IR reducing engines, could be applied to the exceptionally hot aircraft like the F-14 and Harrier but I do wonder if it could be used to increase the IR signature of aircraft like the F-5
I’m not talking about the prior convo at all. Just saying you contradicted with semi-relevant statements shortly after.
I think that would be nice because going off of thrust isn’t correct.
you said I didnt
No I asked if you could. I thought that was the end of the video. Additionally I also wanted sensor view from the missile if your still able to get it.
I don’t believe it’s contradictory, he said the F-8 should move up because the F-105 was the same BR. I said they serve two different purposes in game and one cannot be balanced against the others, only against peers of the same purpose.
Its quite a clever way to avoid having to do loads of unique modeling of IR signatures because in 99% of cases it works fine enough. As thrust increase the heat sig increases and vice versa. You get variable heat sigs based upon throttle settings without having to add any extra code.
Just the 1% suffers
Aircraft like the Harrier suffer because they gain a load of thrust at lower air speed. Like say, when defending from a missile or dogfighting. F-5s just have inherrently low thrust and so are inherrently cold.
I don’t even think I can do this?
yes in that regard I agree but you got pretty close to saying the same thing you said he couldnt do, it doesnt matter anyway I’m just nitpicking
I swear you could unless i’m just crazy.
But tbf you’re comparing a F5C to one of the most miss model jets in the game. Comparing the F-5C to the J-7D shows how under tried the J-7D is.
If im not mistaken. When there is a major update. It breaks replays unless you rename them or something. Even then they might not still work. Its to do with not having to keep the replay compatible with outdated mecahnics or something
Becuase in its current state, the F-5C is an absolute menace for flareless, subsonics at 9.7 and annoying as hell to do with in most 10.3/10.7 aircraft. Where the J-7D might be good, its rare. I barely ever see them personally. Entire lobbies can be filled with the F-5C.
And in a 1v1, I genuinely have no idea who would win. Id put it on the skill of the pilots and less on the aircraft themselve.
Because you don’t play air rb at this br apparently, because if you did you’d find them in every match
They are in every match and imho they are more cancer than the F5c was
They are not rare at their BR range, at least on US servers
The last few times i’ve taken the FRS1e into ARB, I dont think i’ve seen a single one. Just a wall of F-5s
It takes one flare for an afterburning F-5 to defeat missiles with IRCCM.
I play at a high level and simply know my jets. You cry about a lot more than I do so no point trying to insult me over me having legitimate gripes. The F-5’s thermal signature obviously overperforms as the community has noted.
