In 10.3 or 10.7, yeah. I’ve never had a top tier match last long enough for that. By the time the missile stage is over one team has completely wiped the other. It’s so boring.
You still need to know the flight characteristics of your aircraft and that of the opponents just as much as low tiers lol.
Actually more, you need to have a higher degree of situational awareness in an environment rich with threats coming from close range and long range of different types. Radar and IR. In which there is a skill one must have in defeating. You cannot defeat certain missiles with just popping flares or chaff alone lol.
Top tier is tremendously more taxing and complex than low tier.
I am sorry it’s just a fact.

Then you get sad matches, cause i see plenty of times where guns can be used and where they do get used
yawn sorry, what was that? I couldn’t hear you over this “invigorating” missile “gameplay”.
It does not matter if it’s boring to you, or if the matches are too fast. It is still undeniably more complex than low tiers and piston driven fighters.

Luck you I guess. I keep researching top tier jets only to leave disappointed because missile gameplay sucks so hard and matches never make it past that part for me.
It’s gonna get even nuttier with the R-73s if I’ve been understanding everything these past couple days.
I’m glad the people who want it are getting it, I’m sure people have wanted it for years. But that just sounds so unfun.
You’re like the Japanese Admirals that were too stubborn to believe the age of the battleship would ever die and be replaced with the carrier strike group and would Banzai charge their ships into certain death with no strategic or tactical value in WWII lol.
I wouldn’t say that per say, he’s like me; Just prefers the straightforward nature of low tier lol
Is there anything this update you’re definitely hyped for?

Have you considered that maybe I’m here for a good time and not to suffer with something I don’t like just because Gaijin keeps adding new top tier jets?

Missiles?
Getting an IR missile to hit, guns to hit, radar missile to hit all require substantial skill.
@Ziggy1989 is very correct that top BR requires far more skill than everything else.
Awareness, energy capabilities of your aircraft & others, deep throttle control, weapons decisions before you engage the target…

What happens to F16C? If I take LITENING II, I can’t take AGM65D???
Bro, you don’t have to suffer. I do not know what nation you main. But I am suspecting Japan is up there, am I right?
Japan has the best F16 right now and possibly the best even when patch drops. If the Japanese F16 is still with the same FM as it does on patch drop its going to be the best unless US gets better missiles for the F-16C.
So, with that said having such a beastly F16 for Japan, there should not be any reason not to succeed in it. Unless you do not wish to learn the top tier meta and not interested. Then that is a personal preference, I respect that. But don’t turn around and say top tier is of a low skill.
As for why GJ keeps adding Jets. GJ is going where the money is at unfortunately. I am sure once that ship has sailed and they made all that can be made from it, they will return to caring for piston driven fighters.

I think we’ll be seeing new jets for at least the next one - two years, three at best. US still needs the F-15 and F/A-18, whatever Germany has, another MiG for Russia, Britain getting the Typhoon, etc. etc.
At the same time though, they could give us a break for a patch or two, and go back to the roots of the game, that being piston engine aircraft. I feel top tier has enough to play with for the time being lol

I was wondering about that. France would probably have another Etendard by then, but what about Israel? More export models?
Sweeden only have one left, unless we bring in Finland, Denmarck and/or Norway
