My experience with it was being a sitting duck because I was the only subsonic plane in the entire match 9/10 times. But it was fun sometimes, just not as broken as I always heard people say it is.
The Ayit has good acceleration, good turn performance even at high speed and excellent roll rate for evasive maneuvers, I never found the speed being a problem. Supersonics can run away from you all game if they have flares, but you can quickly deplete tickets by ground pounding in that case.
Once in an A-4H which is worse than the ayit and you only have guns, I had clutch which ended in a 1v1 vs a mig19 which I could do nothing about except making him overshoot over and over again as he didn’t commit to a 1C dogfight (in the 2C the mig19 is king) and I didn’t let my speed bleed much so he had to be fast and compress a lot which made it very easy to nose counter.
I spent half the match ground pounding while nose countering the mig19 on my six, he overshooted a bunch of times initially too. Then he tried to slowly approach each time but the a4 at 1000kph and good defensive manouvering is a very hard target to hit with a mig19.
Every other jet that is faster than you turns quite bad in comparison to the ayit and often doesn’t have countermeasures. Only in a full uptier, the F-8u2 and the drakens might pose a challenge.

Yeah ground pounding was pretty much the norm for me, with the eventual kill if someone attacked me. Maybe it just didn’t fit my gameplay style but I really didn’t find it BROKEN as people say it is. Yeah you’re in real trouble when you’re in full uptier, guess what, almost every match is a full uptier. It KICKS ASS in its tier or downtier tho, but cmon, when does that ever happen 💀. Also had insane clutch moments, one of them prob was the best in my entire time playing this game but still, one moment of glory didn’t make it work out for me personally
Most stuff is in real trouble when fully uptiered due to compression, but not the ayit. Fighting 10.3 with the ayit feels like a slight uptier to me. Having 4+ kills is not uncommon in a full uptier, since there are still many 9.3-10.0s with no countermeasures in the match, and you can hold your own against the best 10.3 for a while
The clutch example I talked about, was to explain how to deal with one of the best FMs you can face with the A-4 which is also much faster than it, now the ayit has decent missiles which can often easily dispatch mig19s under the right launch parameters. The other supersonics aren’t a threat except for a couple 10.3s and even then you’re not a easy target for them if you know your defensive game well
Thank you, but we don’t need it. A-10A and Su-25 are already very easy to shoot down.
Sorry, is this you?

its the second stalwart j7d defender that is chat banned i wonder if there is a correlation
Played some games on J-7D and reaffirmed this thing is pretty cracked at its BR.
Only issue is just dumb teammates, whos are basically uncontrollable by me.
Been broken for a few years, not gonna be fixed any time soon.
well I bet you can find some odd cases of a biplane getting many kills/reserve tank getting many kills at high tier
Was a laughing stock until it got downtiered and other br changes
I dont know if old mate realises this is a realistic thread not arcade thread

However, J-7D is not of that kind.
Right after the J-7D arrived it was actually one of the terrible premiums and forum users were asking for the BR to be reduced or add PL-8s, and even makes it J-7G. At that time it was still nearly unplayable as we still face against MiG-29A, F-16A, F-16A ADF/MLU quite often.
However, several subsequent decompressions made the J-7D a decent aircraft at 11.0, but moved it to 10.7 BR, probably due to skill issue.

Yeah I remember a time where I faced F-14s and stuff. It was just horrifying. Tragically, I also played the F-4EJ at the same period.
Now it’s actually playable.
It never fails
