RB-24J can be radar slaved, serious advantage especially when encountering a passive flare spammer
It can be super potent especially on the right map where it’s hard to multipath. Ja37 could maybe 11.7 but at same time mig23 should be 12.0 if so.
Like sure f4 has 4 radar missiles instead of 2 but they are literally unusable against low people unlike ja37, unless you are like right behind them and not too low then it can finally get a lock. Anyone grinding nuclear thunder would have experience with this
Really just a trade off, quantity helps more to farm dumb new players who climb but pd helps a lot vs smart people being low. Really debatable plane; I think it’s the most “meta” of all 11.3 though imo
It’s mid at 11.3, great when it’s fighting noobs in a 10.3 A-10, terrible against 12.3s. It’s perfect where it is, especially since it is so average.
Yes
Yes, it is advantage, I saw J35XS IRST-ed it to shoot harrier down.
But it is not enough to send JA37C up to 11.7 or 12.0BR.
Think about MiG-23ML variants in 11.7 or F-4J/S in 12.0.
Also, Gaijin treat them same.
Harrier is a poor example. Thing runs so hot it doesn’t have flares.

Well I was thinking of GR.7 when they were facing
My memories are iffy but was bit shocked when he fired 9P while ignoring BOL
Yeah, Gr7 is amongst the greatest culprits of being too hot to flare things.
Crazy when irl it’s the very opposite

Yes, the state of the harrier is infuriating.

I wish the plane was lore accurate, irl it was so glorious in its prime

super minor advantage
good thing air rb isnt a 1v1 of the f4e against the ja37c
not really? if they are consistently popping flares they are going to flare the 9P the same way
Every console account is a different account, it’s sucks but that’s how it is, trust me I’ve tried everything, all I want is to play wt while my siblings play whatever they want, but this account is on the main shared account so ya just have to suffer through it
holy contrarian.
“erm actually” sit down nerd.
keep glazing the F-4E while i curbstomp you in my Viggen
Do you not see any irony here
The JA37C is fine as it is in 11.3, any lower it would club way too hard, any higher and it would be a struggle bus.

“ja37c is fine”
has two missiles that are superior to r24r on a radar that belongs to 12.3 (other aim7e2 df platforms are bad and don’t have PD)
is as fast as an f104, is as good in 1v1 as a mig21
has a high velocity 30mm gun that one taps whatever it touches vs plinkers or GSh23L which is it’s only true contender
Has a weird radar signature that magically makes all SARH missiles miss the easiest of the approaches
Carries more countermeasures than the average
One of the highest subsonic thrust weight ratios in the entire game
Tanks a sparrow and still can fly back to base
R-24R is superior to Skyflash DF. Gunna have to see if that changes in the next major. But as of right here, right now its weaker in everything except effective engagement range which is about 2km better on the Skyflash DF
(R-24R has the advantage sub 8km, the Skyflash DF holds a marginal advantage between 8-10km which is about the max you’ll realistically get out of it under normal conditions)
As for the radar performance… 12.0 at most, but the Viggen C is still a major downgrade over the Viggen D also at 12.0. So unless you a suggesting both should be the same BR… its nonsense to expect them at the same BR
Total nonsense
40 Large CMs is not that far off the average of 60 standard, if we figure 2 standard = 1 large in most scenarios. (and thats just exlcuding stuff like the Tornado IDS, Su-24, F-111F, Most of the Su-22s, T10, AV-8B(NA), etc at and around that BR with significant more CMs than it, even the Mig-23s have way better CM count of 72 LCMs)
So can half the aircraft at that BR, like the F-5s for example, but I havent actually seen the Viggen C do it

Lot’s of self-reports in this thread lmao.

Seems like it. Like of all the decently performing aircraft for their BR the JA37C is the one to cry about?! 🥀😭
Talking about 12.0 when there’s already the JA37D. I can see that only if the JA37 got the fully live-fire tested Rb72s, but it’s fine rn.
