Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

Assuming you were fairly low and slow, likely sat on AB to maintain power in a turn, anything would have probably killed you if fired in rear-aspect from close range.

But Magic II isnt really all that special other than its absolute rear-aspect performance and good off-boresight performance at higher BRs

from my experince at least it usally wouldnt have hit me like R60M

And here lies your entire problem, not the F-1C having magic 2 or magic 2 being too strong at 12.0.

my problem is he died TEN SECONDS after by flying into a mountain

he never should have one had he had any missile that required skill he would have died

That’s just American Mains.

hes a F1C 200 he slammed into the mountain behind me he was level 5

So 1 noob bombing in their 12.0 Fighter gets killed by an idiot who pancakes almost immediately afterwards.

Yep, that sounds like a perfect summary of the 11.7-13.0 BR range, from experiencing the uptiers I had to that range when playing 11.3 the last couple days.

to make it worse i only get the annoyiing crapping flare pods that shoot up and are less effective

im not bombing im in a F4J i was in a dogfight the noobs bombung where my team

I thought for a second that you actually meant I as in yourself. That was my mistake.

Still, the F-4J has different strengths over the F-1C so both are fine as they are when compared directly.

I mean seen how much he is ranting about it, he probably was.

first it was .5 now 1-2? Make up your damn mind mate

i saw it and flared at .5

at 0.5km you were dead.

Magic II doesnt really impact this much.

Especially if they then used guns

Finally, Gaijin realized that J11B and F15J(M) could be same at 13.7, but how about J11A?

It can stay where it is, dont make compression worse than it already is pls

At 0.5 even rear aspects have a good change to just ignore the flares specially if he was with the AF on

Yep. Only weapon system I can think off that would go for flares instead of the AB target at that range is SRAAMs

i know because its a really good missile a monkey could get kills with it hence why i would like them to replace it with something without them as its close as your gonna get to p2w
