Reflections of a (former?) IRIAF 'Alicat' main: Fakours v. MICA et. al

Still have to wait for it to pit bull meaning pl12/aim120 or anything similar to those missiles could counter it not to mention you can simply shoot a missile at the f-90 and the longer the range you fire the f-90 the easier it is to dodge it. The missile is good but if you know what your doing it’s easy to counter

I mean that’s what its designed to do. Not allow the enemy to get a chance of firing back

Dodging the full spam at 12km alt u get being aggressive at the start is easier than the fakour arriving 20 seconds early, it does its job too well.

I mean if u slow under 900kmph the fakour goes to another post code anyway, still the best missile at the start though IMO

it really only does a good job at getting people who aren’t aware or don’t know what they’re doing not to mention the player base getting to comfortable playing one play style being fox 1 engagements and needed to start adapting to fox 3 play style engagement not to mention people love the fur ball

They only kill me at TT. Lower Brs im going left/ right not just straight middle as fast and high as poss.

Not aware equates to not checking flags and pre-emptively managing speed ready for notch just in-case a cracked one is coming your way vs fly as fast as i like at “superior” missiles and rely on RWR.

Fakours change the way one side has to play- the start wins/ loses the game most times. Even with no kills they are doing a job

it’s entire job consists of killing people too dumb to pay attention. It’s purely a mild inconvenience for anyone paying attention. 0 game impact unless you’re a complete idiot.

fakours sometimes do really strange shit at closer range launches, though. died to a fakour for the first time in ages because it refused to bite chaff and then i couldn’t kinematically defeat it from a 10 kilometer launch
