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

Magic 1, R-60M, Aim-9G. Fired at 0.5km, it would have killed you.

But the ONLY other option would be Magic 1s for the F1C-200 and that would require a BR drop to about 11.0.

France does not have an All-aspect non-IRCCM missiles.

That being said, F1C-200 is perfectly balanced for 12.0.

It is the exact same vehicle as in the tt, you can get it for free…

yeah but no one plays it so it isnt a problem

And even then 11.0 would prob be too low for it again for most people since it has a decent amount of CMs and hella good flight performance. And again there it would possibly see the Jaguar IS thats .3 above with Magic2s, repeating the entire rant

2x Magic 1s + 2x R530s

Would be weaker than the Mig-23ML at 11.7.

Maybe 11.3 then

It is still the same vehicle, so how exactly is it “Pay to Win”?

Yeah, but i also doubt they will remove the Magic 2 from the F1C (either of the F1s and the CT), since that would end in leaked stuff or a review bombing again. Its fairly balanced at 12.0 as it is

you should probably aim even lower, the 530s are basically dead wheight most of the times as they are pulse radar

Yeah 1 single drop of chaff and the missile is fooled

100% agree, its fine at 12.0

I’d argue its kinda one of the best balanced vehicles considering its ups and downs and current BR placement

Other than the rather crappy RWR. Yeah I agree. The radar isnt great, but usable, the loadout holds it own even in the full uptier, but isnt insane in the downtier either. The airframe has the FM and CM loadout necessary for the BR without being oppresive.

Definetly a well balanced airframe,

I mean the only things that comes to mind that are much worse, are vehicles that should be at a lower br anyways, like the f104 ASA or the british phantoms

you dont buy the F1CT you grind it

But ultimately is identical performance. Meaning its not pay-to-win, just pay-to-skip.

In contrast, there is no F-4S equivalent on the TT, as the F-4J is overall weaker to the F-4S

Still, paying your it doesnt offer any advantage over the free one… do you understand that does pay to win means?

It has an absolutely terribly radar??? The F-15C is just and if you have 2 more IR missiles so its a non issue

If you think the radars of F-15, J-11B, Typhoon are bad… lol

Typhoon’s radar is bad. Second weakest radar at top tier currently due to all its bugs and issues. Should be the best mechanical radar in game.

God knows if/when we’ll actually see CAPTOR-M added to the game

The day we get 15.0 Air, which is maybe in the next hundred years
