Listen. this thing is a Swift F.1 with ground ordinance. I don’t care that it outturns a hunter, that’s every plane at that br. It gets no ccip and there is nothing that says it should be 9.0.
Su-25 gets R-60M. But at 9.0 it will face the Draken, mirage III and 5F, F-1, T2 and other planes with aim-9Js and R-60s.
It should be 9.0 for its Mach 0.93 speed on the deck and incredibly good climbrate for a subsonic. It also can turn well enough, and is not lacking in acceleration unlike other 9.0s.
+it’s rank V so it has an airspawn
Why won’t people accept that Britain got a decent plane for one?
Yeah I dont get that myself, test flight it feels really nice. My only complaint is GRB BR being le terrible. Sad at planes getting screwed by SAM systems, yet alone proxy fuse radar systems when they lack CCIP/RP to allow them to actually you know, get decent guesswork on where the bomb will land while using their mobility to fight it.
Would be fine with it fighting all the gepards and the like, in fact looking forward to it, just dont want to constantly fight rolands.
9.0, poor energy retention, no CCIP, no A2A and horrible turn time=9.0
this thing is going to face the german sabre and the ariete, you know this means its DoA right?
Because it doesnt, everything else at 9.0 haves better energy retention and turn rate and if you forgot you’re going to face arietes, late sabres, 9B flingers and a guaranted chance to face phantoms and fishbeds
Doesnt make it any less worse since its facing THESE hunters and not the early ones, late hunters are speed demons and out turns your in a whim and i know this since i usually mowed lobbies with the benelux hunter
Yeah it’s really damn mindboggling to make it 9.0 it doesnt have anything special going on and its going to be bullied by everything if they dont lower its br to 8.X
