So there should be a 16a that’s just better than the others at the same BR? Seems a lil biased
Honestly if there’s a choice to change J-8F’s PL-8 into PL-5C to move it to 12.0, I’ll agree it
And same for Taiwan F-16AM receive it’s historicial 9M to 12.7
You have any idea how many examples of that we have in-game?
And that makes it ok? It shouldn’t be any better than the American F-16A or any other early F-16
Then we should have 13.3 and 13.7 for top planes
Or just buff the other f-16 somehow to be on par lol
Yet the ADF is already better than it and also at the same BR. Brother, use your brain.
ADF trades CAS for A2A at least, and the fox 1 aren’t very good anyways
Cas doesn’t matter in ARB, we have separate battle ratings for that problem now. Disregard this entirely please as it isn’t quite relevant. Fox 1’s, even at this BR, can still easily get kills. Sure they’re sparrows, but they’re fine if you know how to use em right. I’d take a sparrow over 2 python 3’s.
With 9L and 7M, the ADF at least sacrifices its ability to strike bases at all, and 9L is a pretty mediocre missile. Meanwhile, the python 3 is a pretty potent missile, on a great airframe which is more optimized for IR brawls, where the ADF just has a worse airframe and worse missiles
thats gaijin for you, j8f is the only 12.3, the single only 12.3 to not have irccm capable missiles
Doesn’t it have the good Chinese arh?
J-8 frame + 2xPL-12 = F-16A frame without radar missile
honestly it’s almost the worst BR12+ vehicle in game
And still have stock PL-5B now
I think it’s ok at 12.3 since it can get sucked into 11.3 premium user games where it has basically 2 free kills and 4 more semi easy ones cuz it has decent airframe. Also the ARH harriers are at 12.3 as well, j8f at least a dedicated fighter platform
Striking bases is absolutely pointless and useless unless you’re grinding rp as an idiot F-4S player, or stock grinding. It has no effect on the outcome of the game and determining who wins.
Potent mission huh? It’s just a faster accelerating Aim-9L (it has the exact same seeker in the files). If anyone knows you’re there or that you fired it, its gets flared 9 times out of 10 depending on the launch and platform you launched against. It also has a very similar turning radius comparable to the 9L, it’s just that it travels faster and pulls more G’s while doing so.
The missiles are still better than 9L, and the ADF has a way worse airframe
“Way worse”? Buddy it’s only marginally different. And regardless, when you’re facing 12.0-13.0 jets, you’re airframe hardly matters with the missiles you’re capable of meeting.
But unlocking PL-12 is impossible :(
I just have a 16v16 playing with 12 in our team is J-8F, but half of us just died before the first contact
EDIT:
There’s a high chance for 12.3 jets to play with 12.7 or 13.0 now, last 4 of my games is all 12.7+ game
Harriers (and YaK-141) are good dogfighters instead of this flying brick, even have HMD, it will lost in a dogfight with Fulcrums or Gripens
Any bombs or rockets available? Try those. If not, go for the all aspects first. Grind is hell for almost everyone, don’t worry bro stuck with it and you can do it o7
