not really
You know not everyone knows everything about every random nations aircraft right?
you’re being very pretentious here, NOBODY is unbiased and there is NO issue with being biased as long as youre forward with it, he has a preference he cares more about american tech. theres nothing wrong with it.
It’s just the good old ItalySuffers/USAPilotsAreBad (or whatever nonsensical username he uses) appealing to all nations while only shitting on the US, exhibit No. 76.
It’s because the F-4S is good at base bombing, so a DEPRESSINGLY large percentage of US mains just straight up bomb their way up to their fancy F-15 without having ever once engaged in air to air combat. The high tier premiums for some of the other nations at least start acclimating the player to BVR combat. It’s funny because the F-4S is amazing at BVR combat. The drooling masses just gravitate towards base bombing.
It does?
Give the shoddy state of the captorm, I know a lot of Brit mains arent even playing it at the moment
I can vouch for that as well, that ‘most played’ claim was mysterious.
Yeah, German typhoon I meant have beleived, but it’s barely top 3 aircraft in game at the moment and in the context of BVR-only combat it’s barely stronger than the Su-27
14 of the best missiles ingame will do that
iirc its calculated by averaging winrates of vehicles, so unless both sides have the same number of US players then it wont average to 50
Not really? I don’t know but both of them having still absurd amounts of drag compared to irl seems pretty gimped to me.
I mean sure, doesn’t make them any less gimped. Also guess what, the R-77-1 is also significantly newer than aim120A.
Never said the opposite
also not really
Surely bro
it has been discusses plenty already. there is nothing free, planar fins dont just manage to achieve that much maneuverability for free. if you brought r77-1 to realistic engagement altitudes(which we dont go ingame) you would likely see fairly close numbers in range to real life. the missile is a single pulse planar fin missile, its not going to outrange traditional fin dual pulse missiles, nobody uses planar fins on missiles beside r77, and russia is dropping them with r77m.
Ya but isn’t it a problem they are both teams? Imagine for instance the situation with the F14 when it released if America wasn’t on both teams? Their WR would be significantly higher.
Except they aren’t?
They are. And they are not supposed to be. They are still much slower and less kinetic energy.
They are? Regardless which part u are talking about.
I advocate equally for all nations. I just also point out when people have an overly high bias towards one nation… I’ve already explained the usernames in the past (engagement bait) so you harping on them is willful ignorance.
They aren’t worse than AMRAAM currently. They have better firing envelopes and better time to target over useful ranges, while having nearly the same time to target over uselessly long range.
Claiming the AIM-120 is some giga-missile in-game currently is just outting yourself as someone too stupid to avoid ARHs in general.
The only situation in which it is the best is in the absolute maximum range launch, and even that is only marginally best now that the R-77-1 is ingame. The only people this is going to hit is cro-magnan level intellect.
In every other category it performs worse. It has worse time to target, worse firing envelope, and it doesn’t even have the benefit of every missile having identical seekers anymore.
Within 10km, which is where ARHs are actually most useful, it could be argued it is the worst ARH, even compared to the Derby or R-Darter!
