have you tried like… unmounting the RATO’s? These cause drag. You still manage somehow to make aircraft perform worse than I do in my hands. MiG17 same climb rate as the A4E? what the hell, honestly. How on EARTH do you still care to counter my evidence making your planes perform worse on purpose? How do you also manage to make a sea vixen fly as slow as a mig15 bis? I made the test with four missiles and the mig15 bis with the unguided rockets.
The RATOs were removed for the turn rate test since that wasn’t acceleration test on engine power alone.
I just couldn’t remove them for the acceleration test as that’d cause acceleration.
And I was recording 3 vehicles in a short timeframe.
I love seeing mantis’s cope threads, it is so fun to watch everything unfold with some popcorn.

you can use them with brakes before taking off, return to some point where you can take off at 350 IAS before the timer resets you again and start doing the test from the moment you accelerate across the runway.
Telling people that their info is wrong is not gaslighting, but convincing others that you’re right when you are not is gaslighting, and it’s what you do constantly, consistently and thoroughly in every single thread where you get pointed out for spreading misinformation like the sea vixen vs mig15 bis incident. It’s a pity
I have a beautiful screenshot of it.
@Mantis_Chat_Ban posts are accusing the entire planet of gaslighting again… which itself is gaslighting.
Also, the flight model of the Sea Vixen got nerfed since that post.
All you’re doing is proving everyone correct.

LMAO, your calling my life dull, and un creative?
If you looked at my bio you know what I do for a living.
I’m an E9.
I am THE most influential NCO in my career field.
I have accomplished more in my life than your entire family would for generations.
I most likely will get this question but I teach Level C.
I do the cope meme because it’s funny, gets good reactions, and it is applicable towards you.

Speaking strictly about the German Alpha Jet A, it is at least IMO over tiered in ARB as most subsonic jets you face in the BR ranges you’re at are better in most ways, I wont say it needs 7.0 like Mantis did but it definitely could go down to 8.3 or 8.0 IMO, even looking at the F-84F (8.3RB) the only thing the alpha Jet has going for it that really sets it apart is a slightly better flight model and literally CCIP for bombs/rockets which it has to have otherwise its weak bomb payload would be practically useless… I’d literally take 6x .50 cals over the 27mm sparkle glitter cannon of the Alpha Jet A because you get way more ammo and they pack almost the same punch due to the over buffed nature of .50cals in-game… everything the Alpha Jet faces are usually two of the following three more maneuverable, faster acceleration at almost all speeds, and or have better armament… Now how can that be you get a “OP” 27mm Mauser BK27 some will ask?
Well to explain the not so “OP” nature of the 27mm cannon. All of the German belts have useless practice tracer rounds spread out at a ratio of 1:4 except the stealth belt.The French Alpha Jet on the other hand does not get this crippling nerf to its ammo count and gets a full useful 150 rounds out of its cannon (or Pods). The second issue is the Air targets belt has a strangely very weak HEF (High explosive fragmentation) shell that barely fragments or explodes at all compared to APHE… in fact the damage it puts out is almost identical to the 20mm HEI of the A-4E by comparison…
Default belt (PT, APHE, APHE, APHE) < best belt IMO for RB Air targets or Ground Targets or Even Armored targets
Air Targets (PT, SAPHEI, HEF, APHE)
Ground targets ( PT, SAPHEI, AP, APHE)
Armored Targets (PT, AP*, AP*, AP)
Stealth (SAPHEI, SAPHEI, APHE, APHE) < best belt composition (if it had tracers)
Circling back to why the practice rounds which worthless. They are worse than .50cal AP (30mm pen) rounds they have zero explosive filler, nor any incendiary properties and barely penetrate more than a 7.62 AP round at a whole whopping 17mm vs 13mm @ 0m. So in all 150 rounds the German Alpha A gets, 38 of them are going to be practice rounds reducing your ammo count realistically to 112 rounds in total.
The A-4E by comparison has no practice rounds and has 200 rounds of useful ammo belts, on top of that it gets access to AIM-9B’s for A2A engagements in a battle rating where flares are rare and also up-to 3 gun pods (750 rounds per pod), if you wanted to maximize its A2A engagement capability you can take 2x AIM-9B’s and a single gun pod bumping your total cannon ammo count to 950rounds, its ground pounding capability also IMO is so much better with these following options.
2x TV guided munitions,
5x Bullpups (MCLOS, which the bullpups are still usable compared to the artifically-nerfed NORDs),
20x 250lbs bombs (5000lbs)
5x 1000lb bombs (5000lbs)
171x Mighty Mouse Missiles (290mm pen)
36x Zuni’s for heavily armored targets (457mm pen)
the German Alpha A’s ground pounding ability is in comparison quite underwhelming by any stretch of the imagination…
114 (vs 171) Mighty mouse (290mm pen)
6x500lb bombs (3000lbs max vs 5000lbs)
6x 250kg bombs (3300lbs max vs 5000lbs)
with CCIP for Rockets and Bombs
even compared to the French Alpha Jet the German one falls behind in both air and ground capabilities
ignoring that they share the same bomb load-outs it gets access to the following
144 x SNEBs (400mm pen vs germans 290mm and the french alpha caries 30 more of them)
2 x 30mm DEFA cannon pods (180 rounds each)
Simply put there’s no real comparison between the German Alpha Jet to the A-4E or even the French Alpha Jet in terms of either A2A or A2G potential.
In acceleration the Alpha Jet A is almost a comparison to the A-4E in most speeds except top speed. The A-4E at top speed of 1022km/h @ 1000m can do a 90 degree horizontal max pull turn and ends up at 957km/h (94% energy retention) after the turn then it accelerates back to full speed in 34 seconds
The Alpha jet A tops out at 1015km/h @ 1000m and can do the same turn and end up at 942km/h (93% energy retention) then it takes 57seconds to get back to full speed… not so good
If you’re so perfect at military why do you suck so bad at the game? What’s your proof, soulja boy?
you’re a narcissist.
Because I don’t fly or drive in the military I survive.
When you use words make sure you have a general understanding about the word.
When you want to call someone out or say something about someone’s career do some research about it.
Google is literally 2 clicks away.
The military didn’t teach me how to game.
It taught me how to do other things (that would get me arrested if I said)
Sadly the NDA is restricting me from my speech here but.
The only way to teach someone how to survive captivity is to put them In captivity and do things that the people holding them captive would do.
For a military guy in service you seem to be pretty full of free time and in the need to own random civilians on the internet, huh?
all i want to say that you’re doing nothing, they are gaslighting you into believing you do. You’re just a toy for your state. A puppet. Once you finish your service and save the nation they will treat you like junk. Given your attitude seems to be fake but if it is true that you’re pitted into warzones… good luck.
Having tried to use the French one, it doesn’t deserve the BR it has in air. Ground, different story. But it really could do with 8.3 in air.
No, I believe in what I push, I know the GOV sucks for vets, but I already got a Guarantee to work at a PMC, I’ll have phenomenal pay, and that’s that.
I’m not owning anyone I’m just sick and tired of cope threads.
Yes I do have free time, in matter of fact I took leave to go celebrate my sisters wedding.
I actually am doing a lot. Please look into what a SERE instructor does.
I’m not pitted into warzones.
That attitude that you “feel” or whatever is true, I love the military, for some people it’s their only option to escape shit situations.
Luckily enough I was raised good, good parents.
My father was also a SERE instructor.
This argument is very frustrating, if you want to continue arguing do some research.
