Yes and the pilot isn’t lounging back like he is in game.
List its pros and cons.

Another thing to keybind. Good thing I’m not limited on controller or anything.
@ron_23 i must admit that does help a bit. But still doesn’t change much.
But I still think the curtain can be pulled back some
best speed, best BVR missiles, Mig is getting hold up from the small maps too, but this not a reason to lower its br. Its an interceptor, its your problem if you play it like a fighter

Problem is you have to play like a fighter.
Everyone stays low. Not nearly in any position you have to be.
Best speed is irrelevant. You have to be at 18,000m up to use it.
Its acceleration is terrible.
The F-4 can sustain better speed with higher acceleration without busting apart. (Which now has Aim-9Ls btw)
But BVR is good, however you have to be flying under 1.5km and under 760 mph otherwise wing tear

Gee i wonder why this extreme high altitude interceptor is struggling, you wouldnt possible be flying it like its a blackburn buccaneer would we?

the sky is full of zombers right now, they are plenty of targets
still going Mach 1 even in the deck is a good speed
what?
I have yet to see any zombers. Only smart F-111s flying under 1 km until they’re near the airfields then they pop and boom.
You can’t go Mach 1 on the deck. You break apart.
I’m unsure of what F-4 it was, but a couple days ago an F-4 was sporting Aim-9Ls and killing people.
It was in sim. I even said to myself “when the hell did they add Aim-9Ls to the phantom outside of Nuclear thunder??”
I was flying the 11.3-10.3 bracket.
Maybe it was a text bug? But I’m unsure.
F-4 cannot do Mach 3
where are these 9Ls you speak of

there is no phantom with the 9L in that bracket
the lowest br F-4 with the 9L is the Kurnass 2000 at 12.0
then comes the F-4EJ Kai at 12.3
and then the F-4F KWS at 13.0
More likely reason you could be hit headon is because the Mig-25 is hot enough that rear aspect missiles can lock frontally at closer ranges. You see the same with the Harriers and Yak-38 as well.
youre complaining about struggling to deal with phantoms. This is the BI thread where you showed your incredible ability to miss every shot but worse.
you are untouchable if you use a foxbat correctly in those BRs. there is literally nothing that can get to your operating alts for a launch, everything is on your terms.
If you die to something pathetic for the BR like a hawk 200, thats your incredible skill issue, not the game overtiering a plane thats only counterable by flying on the deck to bait you into becoming a red hot sidewinder target

the issue is that your radar dosent have look down at your operating altitude
so you cant really BVR since everyone in air sim sticks to the deck at those BRs

fair enough. that is an issue. Still is nothing stopping the mk.1 eyeball spotting a contrail.

It said in the kill feed “F-4(E or J) killed (Aim-9L) Mig-23ML”
I am certain of this.
Again, could’ve been a visual bug.
