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.
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’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.
My Spitfire mk24 stats are all from CAS in GRB, its an absolute monster at 6.7-7.0 until an SU9 turns up to ruin the game for everyone.
Meanwhile my Wyvern stats are all from ai targets in ARB, on the card it looks like my wyvern has a better PVP K/D because ai is counted in the same stat numbers.
And yeah assists are completely forgotten when id say they are more important than a straight out kill, as it means someone was playing with a significantly less capable vehicle for a time instead of a fresh new tank or plane
Mostly the same weapons planned for the Su-57 on the Su-47 as the Su-47 prototyped the Su-57’s weapons bays, on the Mig 1.44 though english sources just point towards it having late Flanker weapons on an actually capable platform with better defensive aids.
