I dont have issue with the Fox-3 gameplay. I quite like BVR combat. But the maps are massively too small. Even in a high performance SARH truck like the F3 they are too small.
in ASB in the Typhoon, you take off, find a target and are engaging it within the first 30 seconds to a minute usually. Getting from one side of the map to the other takes about 5 minutes.
There is just 0 transit time and everyone can basically see everyone. Might as well have markers.
If we had maps large enough that radar max ranges actually mattered, and you had at least a few minutes of travel time before having to think about finding enemy targets, Then top tier would be fun.
