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
