except it doesnt as mig 23MLD is faster so it can give its missile just as much range its even if not better
its only edge is the AOA pull in the first three turns it can do before dumping all energy
It does significantly, I’ve seen R27s make well over 50 km shots while phoenixes usually run out of energy around 40
These queue times are ridiculous, i dont care about historical accuracy anymore just make it so every vehicle is allowed for both nations. This is a screenshot an hour and 40 minutes into queue the final que time was 2 and a half hours.
Not true. Phoenixes are capable of 80km shots without any issues. Longest i got with one was 110km.
It’s because of the event turning into a meta fest
Top tier everyone just plays US since the F15A and f18 early are horrifically overpowered
Lower BRs are just Russian spam with R24Rs and MIG25s annihilating the entire map without even firing a braincell
If your targets flying in a straight line and you have altitude maybe, otherwise no way in hell a shot like that is ever gonna hit
100Mile range is max range but in game 80 KM basically is the most most common hit range before missle runs out of energy
best launched 20K FT plus at mach 1.2 plus but if they have any brain theyll notch even a little and it goes away
You are better off ignoring the F-4E’s radar at low altitudes. Use your sidewinders instead. And use the default F-4E rather than the tech tree one. TT one doesn’t have AIM-9L’s like the default one.
EDIT:
If you even try to use the Sparrows, follow this advice:

I should also mention BVR doesnt really work in this game mode because OSAs are genuinely so stupidly overturned ive seen it shoot down a fair number of my pheonixes before they hit

F4Es radar just does not work if theres any terrain in its fov
Ride the deck and only use sparrows on enemies that are above you, look down just dont even think about it

yeah its really dumb basically they made OP AI to control the NPC vehicles its same thing that happened in naval costal with the russian costals with HEVT they can snipe at 20K FT in alt no problem its BS
the AI they use literally has AIM bot
So its unfair then ;-;
The problem is that i cant use the aim7 due to that, if i use the aim9 the enemys start to spam flares and even if i fly low for some reason now the OSA AKM can hit me even ignoring my flares xD
Lol, the AIM-9L’s work ok/well enough. Especially if you queue in with no personal planes, you should queue into the lower BR bracket nearly 100% of the time (I THINK I might have seen 1 match where some default players got queued into the higher BR bracket, but I am 100% not sure. And it was still a fluke even if it did happen.)
yes in the preset mode but toptier is pretty balanced
I wonder what Roland uses which missile,cause i seen both Roland 2 and Roland 3 on kills from FlaRakPz 1
R60M works just as good btw they both got seeker buffs for this mode

Yesss they are really good but a lot of times the enemys just spam and spam flares so i cant hit them and also sometimes when they spam flares my aim9L just says ummm yeh, ill go for the team mate 3km away and kill it bum -22k SL XD

Hrm, are you already going in with the full default lineup? (Not taking in any personal planes that can be used in the event.)
Also, I don’t remember if I saw you already reply to any of my CCRP posts, but do you know how to use CCRP and have the keybinds setup?
Read this if you have not. Quick and dirty CCRP/SARH & IR missile “guide”: Nuclear Thunder! - #3528 by SilentTracker
Helps a ton using CCRP with nukes so you can lob them instead of doing a suicide run, thus wasting your Spawn Points. You should be better able to return to base and rearm another nuke and continue dropping small or medium nukes, without using more spawn points.
