They do tho. There are far more chances of getting a kill when your enemy struggles to reach Mach 1.2 at altitude and has an RWR that can’t ID the sources of radiation, or has 60 Countermeasures and probably carries 10 chaff
Still, people expect people to be launching AIM120s from much closer than the F90 that has been launched anywhere between 60-80KM out. It catches people off-guard. I’m all for better IR missiles, though.
To be fair fakour is the best ARH in game.
How?
It is fastest
It is best at defeating multipathers due to warhead
It has best range
Best against people who don’t pop chaff or notching, which can easily defeat ARHs that relies on volume anyway.
Then we have Su-27SM that has R-77s at 13.7 that are limited within 8km because they are essentially airbrakes… against approaching enemies on full AB
The IRIAF F-14A is in a weird position, it’s incredibly weak at 13.0 simply because of the lack of countermeasures and poor situational awareness (no MAWS and God awful RWR) but if it was to be moved down to 12.7 it would cause havoc on 11.7 vehicles again.
The best solution would be to upgrade the vehicle itself with either a better RWR or more potent missiles like the R-73E, there has also been proposals to upgrade the vehicle IRL iirc with Russian avionics and if true I wouldn’t be against the addition of those in-game for said IRIAF F-14A.
It at its current state shouldn’t be able to fight Eurofighters as well, we need decompression

IDK why but farkours kill me more than any other fox 3 launched at 20km+. Im sure it has some skill issue problems on my end but these seem to get me more than aim120 for sure. I think its just because you have less time to react.
It’s charged up now pal
If it was +0.7/-0.7 instead of +1/-1 it would be way better
Have more than 100 plus matches with mirage f1c yet to have a single 12.0 match all are either 12.7 or 13.0 su33 F2 f18 🥀 j37 with rb99 🥀 man I feel molested with those r530f only thing keeping me sane is magic 2

Thanks
Or even 0.3 up or down would be perfect
Well, you can thank half of this forum for ruining this plane.
It was cool, now it’s just a dust gatherer.

Holly molly, just admin your skill issue and lets move on.
You think Gaijin listens to the forum? lol. It was the swaths of noobs dying to the f90 because they think all they need to do is fly low to be invincible from radar missiles (who flagged this? are you kidding me? so many of my f90 kills are from people ignoring rwr and hugging the deck, that’s just the truth)
This sums it all up quite good

Yes a skill issue when using a plane with a bad rwr facing top tier fox 3s such a skill issue sorry a plane from the 70s can’t keep up that’s definitely my skill issue
Someone got their feelings hurt.
Sorry I didn’t really fully look into it when talking about it like but still just my opinion
Cause I was replying with facts and you say that I got my feelings hurt sounds like you know Im in the right to me
