Cool and what is the Mig-23 going to be even doing with the R-24 anyway if he could in theory keep it if he’s got a nuke?? If going full frontally the F-4E is going to get only ONE shot with it’s cannons. The Mig-23 on the otherhand can blitz pass and if the F-4E misses, he’s not catching up. And the Meta approach is just to skim across the ground basically completely negating all radar missiles and the Mig-23 has enough flares to throw off AIM-9Ls. It’s why I said the F-15 is honestly a required aircraft because the AIM-9M makes it possible to intercept these people at low altitude and gives a cushion if you miss.
Do you think people are not just skimming across the ground to suicidally drop their nukes? Completely negating the use of radar missiles against them.
The AIM-9Ls love to go stupid in the face of flares even a few pops makes them ditch the target and even if you get one off, they’re going to be faster than you anyway so each subsequent missile will fail to reach the target.
Bro, it’s more akin to the F-111 than it is the F-4E. What the hell are you talking about?
Instead Gaijin could’ve just made this gamemode better by locking it at 11.3. Mig-21Bis vs F-4E and F-111A vs Su-24 as the weapons delivery platforms.
Wait people actually try to play as strike fighters for ground targets?
I’ve literally just been top of my team playing as a fighter and then when I have SP for nukes I just go for the enemy airfields or go for the crowds of players and bomb them.
ARMs are not going to be effective even in GRB, one GBU/Maverick is more useful than a missile that can target only ONE target, implying he doesn’t intercept it or turns off his radar…
I’ve been having fun using nukes to destroy airfields and S-300/Patriot sites. It’s pretty relaxing lol First I do some PvP of course and after I’m done with the long range SAM sites I go back to PvP
It would be very useful in GRB, For example, with an F-16 you would be able to carry two AGM-88 and 6 AGM-65. You can use ARM (which are wayyyy faster then AGM-65 and hence harder to intercept with SACLOS spaa like pantsir) to take out SAM and then use the free airspace to use your mavericks
I do
I do like strikers like A10C and F111F these semi-modern strike aircraft
However, after realizing the AI AA could intercept my bomb and AGM way better then player could do, and only very few scores were given after killing the ground target
I have to go back to the A2A pack
I literally hate such discouragement by Gaijin that not letting Strike aircraft do something well in ARB once again.
Besides, the BR is completely broken. US jets have too many flaws when they go against the MiG-23
It’s just air RB but worse because you can’t even climb to properly use radar missiles (because the AA is way too good), and you can’t easily go for ground targets because you can’t climb, and most of your munitions are shot down anyways (because the AA is too good and too dense)
There is a lot of potential, but it’s wasted at the moment.
the F-14 is not that bad, I had an enemy who topped their team with like 6k score with the F-14B. I am just saying that they should at least try allowing the Su-27 for a little bit to see if the balance is fixed (more top players for USSR team) or just not allow some of the us planes like the F-14
