Which I had no problem doing even with F100 at 10.3 (teammates uptier’d me) without chaff. No rwr is a bit harsh, but afterall their radar all sucks. I mean how many people cried about J7E when all it did was the exact same thing as J35, when people actually notice it, it is utterly useless.
I mean I have seen actual 6.0 k/d. I get it it’s a premium and most people just tend to have skill issue but this jet is definitely not 10.3 material. Otherwise half the 10.7s should be down here as well.
Trust I have had worse.
Just another point, if u do indeed get away at sort of good alt aka above 3km, u can absolutely destroy everyone, but u just need to get there.
Most people on the forum either never play a vehicle or have 0.4 kd in it, that’s like half the forum’s fun – the drama.
Theoretically it’s not a bad plane at 10.3 due to a myriad of good factors and it can’t go any lower for sure, but 10.3 is a hellzone because of j7d/f5c/f5e and just the myriad of prems people want to play to grind in the 10.7-11.0 area, 10.0 is dead and 9.7 doesn’t have many prems either so it lowers the downtier pool.
The j7E is one of my favourite jets. A real brawler, energy for days. I won a 3 vs 1 in it (rare for me) . The low fuel turning is God tier.
This J35 tho has no good traits except 1 turn, might just be me, skill issue and all that. But I can only think of one jet I hate more- the 9.7 jaguar. I slap J35 with meme missiles (9c) all the time- cant see any point in climbing. Often see them going like 100mph - I now realise why. Its one of the few jets I cant think of a playstyle that is consistent/ fun
Its a sticky one as IMO its nowhere near a f5, mig 21, j7d, F8E etc etc yet costs real money. With the very few downtiers it gets 10.3 is where it should be.
Or it should be given a fair amount of counter measures if its getting yoinked bk to 10.7 IMO
Climb- meme missiled
Head ons- good luck with that water pistol gun
Furball= no where near enough flares.
Its also a jet that gets bullied/ focused on as its an easy kill
Im all ears tho. How can this jet be used, apart from slapping AI jets padding KD :)
I remember one time I was complaining about the J35XS to a friend of mine in a party, and some guy we used to grind with said, “skill issue, honestly” and went on about how he gets 3+ elims a game and all that. Thankfully he is one of those that will accept a 1v1, and I proceeded to stomp him in a MiG 21bis (Finnish one). Of course he proceeded to make a thousand excuses saying that he wasn’t in the mood and that he didn’t care about the 1v1 and that I’m a sweaty tryhard and should just learn to live the game.
I’m going to be honest, Swedish air is not worth it. Your two (technically three) best planes are the MiG 21bis and Grippen. The Viggens are terrible, your strike aircrafts can barely strike, the Saab105 is a joke. It’s all bad comedy.
Please tell me more how great Swedish strike aircrafts are, because they’re not. No CAS whatsoever until top tier (and even then, you have to give up ⅔ of your missiles to equip four AGMs), the AJ and AJS are abysmal (you are nothing more than a flying kite), the weird trainer is okay at best, and then you got the AJ-21 which is somehow slower than the prop version of itself.
Quite honestly you are better off playing Italy, since you basically get the only good planes of Sweden (MiG and Grippen), but you get more aircraft (MiG 23, MiG 29, Eurofighter), and a half decent strike line as well (Su-22).
The only reason to play Sweden is if you are Swedish or Finnish and have national pride. Otherwise Italy gives you the exact same feeling. Leopard, 120mm cannon light tank, terrible spike missile launcher, and a piss-poor Apache.
It was more about the other comments… JA37C is VERY good for a 11.3, like, exceptionally good. It’s one of the best 11.3s in general alongside things like J-7E or F-4E which both have their respective strengths and weaknesses.
This is also untrue at least as CAS. It also doesn’t seem that bad in air RB.
I’ve said it before, you and I seem to have a clear difference of “good” when it comes to this game. You seem to enjoy those planes at 11.3, I prefer the likes of the MiG 23. I abhor Phantoms, you seem to think they are good. We can argue all day, but clearly we have different playstyles.
Also, the SK60B and the Saab 105OE are the bad ones, the 105G is good. Then again, the 105G can actually use bombs (I recall them having napalm, but I could also be mistaken for the A32A).
