its not just america for example YAK-3U and LF MK-9 basically unbeatble even with some 6.0s and there still 5.7 or YAK-3 which is still 4.3 for no reason
cause some other under tiered vehicles exist
basically every country has a couple under tiered vehicles the main countries have a bit more than others usually
Chinese F-100A has 9Es (i don’t understand if you are saying the same) and a basic difference is F-100A is lighter 9,14t vs 9,66t of the 100D , with the same engine.
100D also can carry more fuel internally i believe…
Now i don’t know , since you can filll as much fuel you want it doesn’t really affect it, but i think if you fly them both minimum (let’s say you test with a friend and you go dogfight to see perfromance) 100D should be heavier because minimum goes by percentage and 100D has 46min while 100A has 29min.
I’m not home and i can’t check if they gave them external fuel tanks, because if they have it can make big difference.
I haven’t played 100A , but with 500kg less it should fly better , knowing it has same engine it should accelerate better and maneuver better.
100D is heavier, because of the extra equipment for F/B -multi-role and if i remember it should have strenthened structure , to carry more ordinance.
And in flight refuel.
D has slats, A does not. It’s a complicated comparison
NO! NEVER!
i played MiG-21F13 when they were 9.7, and i was doing 2KD easy.
it only because people are bad that the low amount of ammo and the aircraft is considered bad,…
the aircraft is great on it’s intended purpose - INTERCEPTING
however an Interception is not a Head-on forced combat,…
because you force in a turnfight where you should keep your speed,… it’s not our problem if you’re too bad with it,…
knowing strengths and weakness of an aircraft is key to triumph with those,… yet lowskill/newbies people prefers to complain.
Sounds like a krill issue
Now it does back in the day it didnt
yes, and it can be somehow double checked with MiG-21PFM which is same BR, but is a bit heavier (0.5tons) aircraft than MiG-21F-13. (hence the 1.6KD instead on MiG-21 PFM)
i don’t really wanna argue the fact that i did my stats ages ago (when BR 9.7), because it doesn’t reflect on current matchup,… but the aircraft have been downed in BR several times because of how bad players uses it, and not because of match up difficulties.
today, having 9.3 is enough, we don’t need to see that at 9.0
