Agreed. They are just too strong in their current lower BRs.
Unfair BRs must be pointed out where they are due. Some people can’t accept this and resort to gaslighting others into agreeing with them.
Some of the unhinged takes in this thread:
Mig-23MLD is a direct counter to a tomcat. (11.7 vs a 12.7)
R-24R has similar realistic range as AIM-7F (he used statshark to come up with this lol)
BOL flares are completely useless on the tomcat
Tomcat is slow
That guy was just downplaying the tomcat and exaggerating the capabilities of the Mig-29, Yak-141 and Mig-23 while having no experience with such planes.
The tomcats are doing fine in current RB brackets and they will do so in SB.
