Yeah, but… as long as 15+inch guns have worse dispersion than funfair shotguns, American BBs have 9 business day reloads and shell rooms are artificially nerfed to behave like atomic bombs when hit, it will still not be wirth it.
And sadly the shell room part isn’t going anywhere. The developers acknowledged that they artificially manipulated them to suit their vision of gameplay.
Honestly yeah, i prefer the smaller seeker for launching them ahead of the target. Imo R13M1 are way better just because they for me at least are way less flare hungry. Iirc gaijin stated they didn’t need R13M1 so they dont have plans to add them which sucks
R13 are just great, though the XS does have IRST, which helps a bit. My biggest gripe is the performance is horrible. Try to not turn as hard to prevent energy loss and the F-5C on your tail still just eats you, its a okay jet but not my favorite anymore, though i prefer the J35D anyways
J35A is the lightest of the 3 but also the weakest engine. Still strange that they all hit Mach 1 around the same time even though they are all different in weight and speed.
