WR is useless when its used to balance vehicles and US faces itself every match because everyone plays them (wonder why).
Nah I feel nothing wrong with the one I have on the PFM.
To be honest, I honestly would gloss over WR, since there’s a whole multitude of reasons why it can be.
Personally I reference K/D more myself, but that’s more because I don’t tend to kill AI targets. Of course that’s not hard and fast, and it’s not a great metric to go by in Air (Tanks you’re mostly okay, since AI don’t tend to crop up)
And failing all that - it is only a game, what does it matter haha

I mean later down the line when the Russians need something to compete with performance accurate EFT, F-15C, Gripen E, J-10C, Rafale F.4, Late Israeli F-15’s.
When they get them then I will be asking, what use is EFT if you got nothing to grind it with.

True true, though I’m making the assumption that the Su-47 or Mig 1.44 doesn’t have some insane Flight Performance going for it.
It would go to 12.3. Don’t forget that the MiG-23ML/D/A are very capable dogfighters unlike the MF1C or the MiG-21. Also the MiG-23MLD can actually carry capable radar missiles unlike the MF1C.
Harrier Gr7 is in a rather dire state at the moment. I dont think its current loadout in anyway justifys it being 12.3. 12.0 I think is more reasonable for it currently.
The BOL need to be buffed/fixed
The MAWS needs to be finished
Harriers in general are having a horrible time with IR sigs
and plenty of other buffs the Gr7 can get like 6x Aim-9/AGM-65 and still waiting for Gen 2 for the TIALD.
I’ve not tocuhed it since it went up in BR with the addition of Aim-9Ms (biggest mistake ever). It was so much fun at 11.0 in SB.

Have you ever flown a MiG-23? Especially lately? They are by far the worst dogfighters for the three! Low AoA, poor sustained turn rate, and poor acceleration.
As for radar missiles it doesn’t matter much when your radar isn’t even MTI most of the time.
Uhh they do, that’s why the Russians will want them, pre-production Su-57 avionics with supposedly good flight performance.
For example, a singular Mig 1.44 engine produces more thrust than the aircraft weighs clean for a T/W of about 2.1 empty, the Eurofighter hits about 1.8 with war power and that’s the highest I know of…
Su-47 has a reverse wing which i’m sure will magic up some performance.
Uh yeah I play the MiG-23ML. No its not “by far the worst dogfighters”. You are massively tripping.

Thats the Tornado (I suspect)

My next question would be “what sort of radar and weapons fit are we looking at?”
I’m guessing R-77, R-27ER/ET and R-73
winrates dont matter too much, in top-tier air its just who has the most Americans anyway, and at 6.0-7.0 ground your winrate depends on how few times you get cursed with Germany on your team.
K/D is the better skill indicator but air just doesn’t translate into stats well at all
Er, actually, I think the F-104ASA is worse depending on the flight regime you put it in. iirc while at low speeds an F-104 has more going for it, I suppose you could argue that the high speed performance on the Nado would be better? Not to mention you can slow down and transition to low speed faster.
I think hes mixing them up.
id rather take a Sunderland than a tornado
I forgot the F-104 exists. Yeah its probably worse, at least for now with placeholder FM on the nado being half decent in sustained fights

I’d be wary of falling into that trap. One could not score a single kill all game yet prove invaluable for the team. Equally, you could have the reverse, where a Player makes lots and lots of bad plays but since they happen to be right place right time, or get a lucky guns kill etc., they could have the most godly K/D.
Like me in my stock Spit Mk14. 9 Kills because I was extremely lucky, and an enemy was so generous he thought he’d die to me twice as opposed to once.
You say that, a Sunderland can actually be very funny as a rate fighter. Not to mention the defensive and offensive firepower you can deploy.
I play F-15A and MiG-29G after Iraninan F-14A comes but, don’t have any issues for dodging FK90s.
Rather, I find the F-14As facing at WVR horrifying because it has lighter airframe from B model and, MiG-29s has awful fight models rn.
They also have no power so just slowly go on a vertical spiral and you’ll beat them easily.
