“This is useless because it cant be used in close range shots, in other news my shotgun is garbage because I cant use it at sniper rifle ranges”
I mention those two aspects because they’re very important… when no SPAA is up any plane with a substantial CAS loadout is good, so judging them by how they perform at their best is pointless. I care about how an aircraft handles a hard situation, and as it stands the GR4 SUCKS in those situations.
if it wouldn’t take forever I’d break down piece by piece how each 12.0 is better than the JH-7A but I know it’d fall on deaf ears.
You also missed the part where it’s incredibly slow and leaves a huge trail, right. I am starting to believe that people thinks IR PGMs will be arcane magic while they will be slightly better than TV ones.
If all you do for defeating an SPAA is sitting outside their range and every other option for you is bad maybe the issue is not the plane.
Hi @Smin1080p_WT Quick question…would it be possible that gaijin would look into adding any of the F15-I’s Standoff/ CAS armament like the Spice 1000/2000, or even the Popeye missile, Possibly in the last major update or any time next year?
personally, my opinion won’t change until they give the F4ej the AAM-2 or buff it in some way to put it on par a2a wise with other planes at it’s br and the brs it faces cause its underwhelming at best and incapable of getting to bases in a timely manner when carrying bombs at worst (people complaining about it’s speed forget that it goes way slower than any other afterburning attack/strike/bomber jet at its br when loaded with same amount that those other jets are loaded)
Easy, 95% of them have SARH, which means 10km range, vs JH7 which even from rear is max 5km. Mirage F1C easy, SARHs + IRCCM missiles arguably undertiered; F4SII, AIM7Fs are fantastic, AIM9Hs are doable, although not great, it does get a great radar which paired up with HMS could do great; similar situations with most other F4s, even though skyflash are less range, and Kurnass falls here and there, the range is overwhelming. Just to note I don’t think JH7A is much worse of them, but I would say they are about equal, python 3s especially at this BR where ARHs flies around is no advantage to speak of. RWR is great, but not gonna help with anything if everything fired beyond range. I mean similar stuff is seen on F5ECU, which sits at 11.3, it is slower, but also more manoeuvrable.
hello @Smin1080p_WT , sorry for bothering you this late in the day.
Would you have any information concerning the Mirage 2000 RMV that is going to be added.
From the dev, it lost its MICA EM (which is accurate) and kept only 2 Magic II while staying at 13.7.
Also the CAS capability are very similar to the 2000-5F.
Is there any plan to add bombs such as AASM, scalp or even the BAT120LG to make the cas option more worth it compared to the 5F. Any plan to give it MICA IR (it will only get 2) so it wont be that game breaking.
If none of the above happen, i hope it will be foldered with the current 2000DR1 and lowered in br (at least in air rb) as the only improvment are : a HMD and better targetting POD.
thank you
