FM wise MIG-23 has been nerfed like a year ago
And m23 has look down shoot down while f4e doesn’t even have a ground clutter filter
even with Nerf it still out performs F4E
with nerf it can still pull 12G turns and maintains energy way better
plus in a flat turn with take off flaps and manual wing sweep it can run circles around F4E
yeah restricts it a lot
MLD was only minor nerfed. It’s still better than F-5E.
MLs got the big nerf tho.
yeah the MLD being russian only made me so mad as its massive difference between MLA and MLD
ML is closer the F4E than MLD is idk why they picked MLD its not fair
ML irl pulls 7.5 sustained
MLD irl pulls 8.5 sustained
F4E instant turn is 8.5G but sustained is like 7.5-6G
giving you way better turn sustained
the F4E pulls max sustained a 6 g to like 7.5G on like first or second turn it can reach 8.5G but drops fast due to speed bleed a problem MLD doesnt have due to its energy retention being better
and with everyone dogfighting basically at lower 10.3 to 12.0 tiers i find it absurd that gaijin thinks its fair
The real vip of the USSR team for the event is the su24 with the 30kt lol
Why not allow the SMT and the ADF
only problem with the SU24 is accelerates as slow as F111A
i think they just need presets cause if you dont have those planes like lets say your a sweden main you are screwed
Not that big a deal when you skirt the edge of the map and hit runways with people respawning on them 🤣
I’m just going to say it, if you’re complaining between Russia and USA all I can say it’s a pilot issue. I play both and it’s really dependent on how rich in SL you are and how you use your head. Just play the event, yes I personally prefer USA cause I have the beautiful F16 but when playing in russia I play strike aircraft and spend extra time grinding my objective
I’m also an okay pilot but i can show you wins on both sides consistently
well a fix is to give out spaded with the ability to create loadouts in battles
i guess i just have no clue how it could be that lethargic
i mean if your only using the presets its pretty unfair
MIG-23MLD is just too good for F4E to deal with
i’m loving this part of the event, over 1 hour queue is crazy ngl
not really cause the 9L helps balance that
9L does not fix it since 9L is basically gutted compared to what it used to be unless it has IRRCM itll one flared
though the R60M and 9L feel really weird in this mode as ive been hit while preflaring and with no burner by both 9L and R60M
here the thing we are talking new players and ones who are use the 4E only having 9Js so in a way it is balanced
what you mean ? 9Js and 9L are almost identical flare resistance wise
