I play usa to, in this one i use the f4j i think its far better in this event, top one f15 but its more dificult bcs mig29
ignoring the radar, it does seem like it’s better when it comes to mobility, giving it a small advantage in turns and i think also better acceleration
I love the AGM-65; it’s very useful for head-on.
Fun fact, the ARM don’t work on the bomber jammer.
Maybe cut off your afterburner. I have no issues flaring both rear aspect and very short range
The AA isnt as bad as it seems at first. I honestly think the AA is a little too weak atm, since ppl are still reliably able to nuke airfields even without any SEAD work being done to soften things up. I’ve been doing nothing but SEAD now for about a day and a half and once you learn how the AA works, its a lot more manageable. I think thats why gaijin buffed the AA’s track rates by 3x, they were trying to make it so AA has to be interacted with.
Some of the presets are lacking yeah, but ive been using nothing but free vehicles for SEAD and they work fine for that at the very least.
There is however a significant imbalance in the free vehicles teams have imo.
Su-25T is so much better than any non-nuclear ground attack/SEAD that the US gets its kind of a joke. The MLD is also just straight up better than the F-4E.

mate, i dont play since tomorrow
I like it guns, very useful.
funnily enough, because of how bad the radar is on the F-4E, i’ve resorted to using those AGMs to hit planes
Actually managed to kill a few people using them
It’s a pity that it doesn’t count kills towards camouflage progress
Debatable. I’ve been smoked through trees and by invisible missiles from them. They also fire on the move, which these AAA shouldn’t be able to do.
Thing about nuking the airfields, because I do that a lot, it’s a lot more to do with bomb tossing and coming in via blind spots over hills. If you don’t, they will smoke you.

Very funny to see people flaring it and dosen’t work at all.
I do find it funny they gave the US the F4E, so no PD, while Russia gets the MiG 23 with MTI.
Oh good point about mission length. I often forget about that. So yeah, it would still directly benefit the furball players to keep the mission going instead of promoting rapid escalation levels.

I did around 11000 score points with usa with a mix of f4e nuking sam sites, and farming air kills with the f4j which works far better than the mig23. Then spawning nuke and finishing the game is trivial.
If I just focused on air kills I probably would reach over 15k score points

Me, focus in air kill only, 18 for big nuke
Invisible missiles is a bug afaik, and not the norm. likely due to the fact the game engine is trying to handle too many objects and symbols at once. I dont think its fair to judge an AA’s effectiveness based on a rare-ish bug.
That I agree with. Things that cant fire on the move when player controlled shouldnt fire on the move when not controlled by a player. I also think its a bit annoying that they have their radar off at all times until they engage you. Its manageable since they’re always in the same spot, but its a bit weird to always give them first shot advantage imo.
I do however think that if you enter an AA’s range and decide to just stay there, being shot down should be expected, and that people saying the AA is too strong because they sat in the AA’s range and let it shoot at them til they died is pretty dumb.
If you wanna survive yeah, but ppl suicide bomb airfields all the time. I dont think you should be able to do that if the AA isnt degraded personally.

Almost everyone falls for the slight off bore aim7f spam and they fail to multipath or even point their noses up and get out of the safe altitude thinking im not targeting them
Spawning f4j on repeat and netting about 4-7kills almost everytime is crazy broken.
Im only getting killed by osas or by killing myself in headons when running out of missiles

Did you say “rare-ish” bug? are we dead serious now… nah bro, its EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. with these AAs. Every game something “rare-ish bug” happens. Is the “rare-ish” part in the room with us perhaps? Or or or maybe its the friends we made along the way!

Out of curiosity, what is your typical ping/latency in milliseconds? Also, what GPU do you have? Not blaming your setup or connection (because I have experienced this bug multiple times, have a great connection and very powerful GPU), just wondering if ping and/or GPU power has anything to do with it.
EDIT:
Yup, definitely not that. You have lower ping than me, and a newer GPU (I have 60ms-90ms ping, and a 3090Ti).
