This doesn’t matter regarding avoiding missiles. You have flares stock. You only need to notch radar missiles and/or stay lower until you have chaff.
They are if you UNDERSTAND the game mechanics.
Yes! And yet the ONLY difference is 9Ls! Do you see why you won’t get 9Ls on a 11.3 JA37C?

Bruh you need chaff for those and even like this it wasn’t easy. Flares don’t do anything.
Also I’m pretty new to jets, only 3 weeks in and stuck with the J35XS until then.
All tips are welcome, thanks.
No, you don’t.
You only said “all aspect missile” so you’re forcing me to guess whether you mean radar missiles or all aspect IR missiles. That is why I said you get flares stock (for the IR missiles).
my first tip is to not make uneducated guesses at how mechanics work, see:
Do you mean SARH are sensible to flares or that you can shake them off just with acrobatics or you just want to be disagreeable ?
Anw, unlocked the R71 yesterday night and I really enjoy this jet now, it’s really refreshing after the J35XS, very dynamic.
If you fly in multipathing range (below 60m altitute) it becomes significantly easier to break lock from radar missiles, notching can be used as an alternative, but is best coupled with a chaff drop

Thanks for the advice!
Question, can the JA37C fire it’s 2 R71 at once on 2 different targets?
No not at two different targets, it requires a hard lock until the missile hits its target, then you can change to a different target

I mean that both multipathing and notching are available as tactics without needing chaff as a prerequisite.

Lol lmao even. AIM-9Js are stupidly easily to flare and have a pathetically low burn time. I’d rather take AIM-9Ds and Gs over them any day of the week. Once you’re out of RB 71s you’re stuck with an aircraft having missiles that can be decoyed without virtually no difficulty, has subpar flight performance and cannons that are unpredictable except at near point blank range. Also the Viggen C was at 11.3 for years until the new update. If getting back there involves getting AIM-9Ls then it’s a good move.
Read the date the post was made.
Today it would go to 12.0 if it received AIM-9Ls, not 11.3.
JA37D is 12.0 and has BOL. So i dont think it would be 12.0, could always just add RB72 and RB73 and see how gaijin balances them. (This is a meme, R24T with IRCCM and a prototype Meteor missile is what the RB72 and 73 are. Though they are very old lol)
Realistically if the JA37C didn’t have it AoA limited it could be a bit better. As it stands right now its a glorified missile bus. 2 Skyflash at 11.3 is nice but id honestly just go play the Mig 21Bis at 11.0 since i personally find the Viggens to be pretty meh. The C is alright but not really interesting imo. Once the skyflash are gone the RB24J leave a lot to be desired at times.
Is the JA37D really doing better than the JA37C at it’s BR? I have a really nice experience with the JA37C now it’s spaded, at 11.3, and I’m going straight to the F 18 Hornet now.
I’m asking to know if that worths it to spade the other JA37 before the Gripen, and the Gripen C only or the one before it too?
I don’t want to lose time spading a plane badly placed in its BR and getting smacked every game whatever I do, which is not the case anymore with the JA37C.
Been a while since i played the D but given F/A-18A sits at 12.3 and is better in basically everyway. No, i dont like the Viggens they had their time especially the D but i personally wouldn’t recommend the D.
Its a BnZ jet with limited munitions and sub par radar missiles for its BR. Its eh imo, you definitely can do good i personally just dont enjoy the D or Di models.

Thanks for your feedback, I’ll skip the D spading.
Though for some reasons they put the Hornet on BR 14, when the others are BR 12 something, for the same specs even a little inferior to the US one.
The Finnish Hornet cant detect K-Band radar like the US Late, it has no A2G munitions, because of less modules it takes more RP to get your components and weapons than the US. And you lack HMD. Its meh, the Gripen C sits at .3 lower and is a better jet imo. The F-18C is meh, if you enjoy the F-18 playstyle it may be your vehicle. For me i have a good KD. I just find it disappointing so im probably not gonna finish the last 30k rp to spade it.

I’m too knew to jets to be sure what my planes are, I’ll try it and learn how to play it as I did for the Draken and the Viggen, then I’ll unlock the Gripen C which is said to be super good and fun to play, then I’ll decide.
Also I have a lot to learn about last tier radars as I don’t even know what you are talking about.
I’ll have to eat some tutorials about this once I’ve unlocked the hornet.

Just cause there’s an under-BR’d aircraft doesn’t make the rather great Viggen D any less good for its BR.
Also calling one of the best radars for its BR “sub-par” is a wild take.
The Viggen D is rather good, especially since the engine overheating no longer occurs.
The only downside is the sustained turn rate, which if you manage your mouse movements well won’t impact a standard air RB match IMO.

Biggest thing is finding how you play. Some vehicles are good in some peoples hands than in others. My opinion may be different to you. Its just part of learning your playstyle and the vehicle you are playing so just take it slow and try not to get too frustrated. Iirc his name is MiGan Fox-3 on youtube and hes got some guide videos on how to notch and such which are important skills for top tier air.
