Mm idk. With such an insane airframe, and arguably the best rear aspect Fox 2 in the game, I doubt it would have issues performing at 11.3.
It’s not like it’s going to be facing F-14s and the most advanced missile carrier it’ll see (e.g F4S) fly way worse. Also, it has no business facing 10.0s.
I’m not sure what you mean but from your description it sounds like a rate fight which is not feasible for the J7/MiG-21. If you want to get behind him, use your delta wing and get him to overshoot. Use their energy retention against them.
After they overshoot, I think you have plenty of time before you completely fall out of the sky. They have no hope of trying to get a deltawing to overshoot them.
If they airbrake and try to slow down more, they make themselves an easy target for your guns or even a cheeky R60 500m away. They can only hope to extend away at some point and reset. Too long for them to try and out-rate you after you’re behind them. If they extend away… You’re the interceptor with a big and powerful engine. They can’t escape for too long.
it’s not it’s just unforgiving, I have no issues dogfighting even f5es you just have to play to your strengths, try and dogfight at higher altitudes where you have better performance and don’t forget to use your takeoff flaps for more aoa
F-4S and the MiG-23s aren’t undertiered in the current climate. The game requires decompression for either of them to go up. That said, I fail to see either plane prevents the J-7D from being 11.0.
because where there spammed there annoying as hell mig 23 ML and F4S are BVR monsters and it can get over whelming when your team is braindead basically
mig 23 MLD strongest 11.7 btw R24R is unmatched by anything in that below or at its br only matched by things above it saphir 23 also is unmatched only flaw is auto MTI mode and 2 missiles but they are 2 guaranteed kills in all my matches with MLA almost no one dodged it and its a good energy fighter if played right
so that is to say, the radar is bad. MTI is what saves it.
No, its simply because gaijin likes making high rank premiums p2w on a rotating cycle so they can sell more of them. It’s not hard to follow the trend.
when fighting planes like F4E for example this radar is on a different level in BVR almost nothing you can do with it as R24R is 10X any sparrow variant thats not a F or M
not even mentioning R24Ts which most players wont spot its literally on .3 higher than F4E and gets MTI which is russian PD
R24R has 3X more kill potential per missile than a AIM7E2 or aim 7D and arguably better FM than a F4E which is a brick and insane speed for BR too like its accelration is crazy
J7E is 100% over. Consider when F5E FCU now is 11.3 as well, and J7D can’t be 11.0 due to mig21bis has better engine and all-aspect AAMs, to be honest I even prefer add PL8/PL5E2 to J7E and then move it to 12.0 instead of using a AIM-9L-mini and stay at 11.3
