cough Martel cough. There is president, and it would have been nice to have something a little more than just AMRAAM to grind out the F3 again. If all you are nerfing is ECCM its much of a muchness.
Being the best at one thing (time to target at med ranges) would not make it OP, especially on an F3.
the pgms had thermals this entire time… guess im lucky as this wont be affecting me lmao. i definitely checked to see if they had thermals when they were added so is this a new addition?
It had them as a bug, as GR.1 had gen 1 is sight value, that overrides all sights in a plane, PGMs included. Now pgm lack thermals, but i mad a report for IR PGMs, so maybe in the future they will be back.
Aim-9M on the 11.3 F3 would probably result in a BR increase. We are scraping a fine line just with Aim-9Ls. FGR2/FG1 get Aim-9Ls denied because they would move to 11.7 and the F3 already has them, better radar and better SARH at the same BR. aim-9M would 100% mean 11.7 maybe even 12.0.
I personally think this is fair. the F.3 late will have the exact same effectiveness of any other toptier just won’t be able to fight within visual range. the 9Ms are very nice, overall the kit is now good enough to warrent having sub par performance. but it still shouldnt be as of a brick as it is.
the only real problem i have with the tornado is the inability to retain energy above mach. by all means it literally cannot go bellow 600kph without the use of an air brake if all your doing is turning, however at speeds above mach 1.1 even rolling will cause you to dip bellow mach 1.1. this may not seem all that big of a deal, but when your trying to run from a mig 21 of all things and hes able to catch up to you due to better high speed enery retention then i see that as a problem.
if this is how the tornado is irl then fair enough but at the moment it feels as if its barely hanging on at high speed, even at low fuel loads as most times im bellow 20 minutes as its near the end and i still have no way of out running them.
