Yeah the slower planes are a bit of a pain in that regard, by the time you get to the fight the EFTs etc. have shredded the other team and you just don’t get a chance to shoot anything.
Well, I guess everybody has his/her preferences about loadouts, depending on their playstyle. = )
For me it’s 6x AIM-9, 4x Mk.77, the ATLIS and a single AIM-7 usually on the 18C. The ATLIS is very helpful especially on maps with bugged mission target points, like Afghanistan and Vietnam.
the only way to get kills with the f18 is wanted being hunted and being the hunter
I know it’s not exactly korean era but.
Me in downtiers when I see a sabre or something.
holy skill issue
Radar missiles will not be removed, even suggesting such an idea is ludicrous
You should not be Base Bombing in F/A-18s. They are beyond Excellent fighters for their BR (ignoring the AMRAAM Hornets)
Flares will not do anything about radar missiles, thats Chaff you need to use, at the BR almost all radars are Pulse Doppler, meaning for Chaff to work you need to “Notch” (Fly 90 degrees to the emmitting radar source), E.G a Mirage 2000 that’s launching a missile at you, fly 90 degrees to the Mirage 2000, chaff, radar defeated, not nessasarily missile defeated, as CW seekers on some radar missiles do not always make the missile defeated automatically. If its a Active Radar missile (you’ll see them constantly in uptiers) you need to fly 90 degrees to the missile and chaff, they are fooled easily with Notch+Chaff
another way is to Multipath, which is flying below 60m (to what its set in game) Radar Altitude, at 60m the effect starts, to i reccomend flying at around 40m off of the ground for best results (multipathing cannot be 100% relied upon, but is still a largely valid tactic)
You should probably learn the basics before jumping straight into matches with missiles. Please don’t take it as hostile behavior : going top tier without knowing the basics will be unfun for you, as i’m sure you are now already aware
for radar missiles, the best way to evade is use your RWR and put the radar locking you at 90°-100° on your left or right, and start using chaffs (NOT flares)
Missile gameplay can be fun if you know what you are doing, but quite brutal and pain if you don’t
Git good
This is what happens when you fight a Lancaster
