The EAP never fired any weapons and Brit mains have been begging him for years for it. It’s more of a meme and trolling him at this point lol
Cool that you got the meet him though!

Smin seems cool, im surprised to have seen any of the mods in game.
man it would be so funny if the EAP got added as a top tier premium and its just unarmed. no radar, no gun, no AAMs, absolutely nothing. Troll the wallet warrior noobs while shutting up annoying “I want this vehicle” types who don’t know a thing about the vehicle they claim to want

I mean it isn’t useless I’ll give you that but you can’t take it as gospel.
For instance, my MiG-21PFM has a Winrate of about… 41/42%. Does that mean it is a bad aircraft? Hell no. What could it mean? Perhaps I’m just very bad with it (I don’t like the gun for instance, I don’t generally lead it enough). Perhaps it’s because I played it on release when it was 10.0, and now it’s 9.3. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact I usually ended up in 5v1s because when I played it, I played it on release. When everyone playing it was a whole lot of prop players who don’t know how jets are played.
Or maybe it could be just that I have a vehicle with 10 games in and the Win Rate is scuffed.
In the same way you claim K/D is useless, K/D is not useless. However, you have to think about why that is. For instance, I had a 9/1 K/D on the Spitfire Mark 14? Does that sound absurd? If you think not, why?
It could be that I airfield camp and J out if I don’t think its winnable. It could also be that I got incredibly lucky on my first game, and bagged 9 kills.
K/D and WR are two sides of the same coin. They both can be used to infer stuff, and aren’t completely useless, but they aren’t a good foolproof indicator to be used no matter what.
We were asking for it to be our 12.0 equivalent last year. Something to counter the F-16 and Mig-29. It had radar, RWR, CMs and I think even the gun. Just never actually fired any weapons, but that is a small problem if they can make up an entire aircraft to give Japan for example
Lol give it a pod for sighting enemy aircraft and it can be AWACS
I don’t want AIM-9L or AIM-9M for any F-14s. People need to stop making these suggestions.
I can play the same game. Give the Mig-29 R-73 and move it to 13.0. Give the Mig-23MLD R-73 as well and move it to 12.3.
It didn’t have them but had ‘provisions for’ them in my argument which in my view was on the same lines as Yak-141, but we got gripen so it’s no longer a concern, though if the Russians get Su-47 and Mig 1.44, I will be asking for it again.

To be fair if Ivan starts getting that point EAP goes out the window. We could look at EFT in my opinion. But, I digress
I have a 46% winrate in the centurion mk2 even though its the strongest tank I have.
My winrate in the harrier GR7 is truly dire so it can bo so so so much worse, but that’s from BR compression and not having the best weapons it actually had access to in service. Its still a really great plane and enjoyable to fly.
Bask in the disaster that is my winrate and K/D in the GR7. I hope you don’t feel so bad about winrates ever again
Probably 12.7 assuming it can carry 4 x R-73s.
2x, and that’d be 12.0 as it’s worse in nearly every way to the 12.3 MiG-21 and M2Ks. Like the F1Cs.
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.
