and stock Booster.
Hell, fuck this whole stock grind and make the TT grind longer. and compensate us with spaded vehicle from the get go. I want to fly something with everything it got already installed. not this half-assed bullshit. I’m done unlocking shit. If there’s something I want to grind it’s the vehicle. not the damn shit it got.
it is said that the F35s stealth is good enough to keep it hidden in radar noise well past its own weapon release range. (against modern fire control radars!!! against surveillance its probs better)
With the AIM120 C5 having a range of 150km the maps and aircraft spawns are way way too close for the stealth to make any difference. And to add on top of that any change in attitude of the F35 will negatively affect it further.
right now it would be useless, just like you said
boosters is another good one
everything really. frontload the RP cost and omit the whole modification shit. they charge 80 bucks for pixel jet anyway.
they charge that much for a reason XD not many people who put up with the stock grind
I only talked about it because OP implied F-35 would be good in IR only meta thanks to its stealth.
Which I think it is safe to say it would do next to nothing.
you would be suprised how easy it is to sneak up on some of the robots once you turn your radar off and fly low your stealth would make you not be picked up nearly as much on there radars further helping it
i don’t know of any IR radiation reducing features on the F35. I know they tried on the F117 but the F35? idk
the F117 doesnt get its low ir signature even modeled its hotter from range than a F5 on full reheat
there are definetively some IR signature reducing measures in place, issue is, again, at ramges where combat happens with sidewinders in WT, they wouldnt help at all.
It does actually, just hte F-5 is even colder due to how badly modeled IR sigs are
$80 that they charge does not include the ability to not do stock grind. really not worth the damn money in any metric ngl.
Let’s not forget that some of those $80 stuff they sell is pure unadultered dogshit in the first place. Case and point those fucking harriers, MiG-21, Su-22, every other frogfoot, and that damn F-104S.
probably wouldnt matter against IIR missiles either way
it shouldnt be able to be locked by anything that uses IR from below for example a AIM 9L shouldnt get a front aspect lock from below or even the FIM-92K stinger or whatever the russian one uses im spacing on its name
Stick on stock grind topic for fuck sake. what is wrong with you? hop on a new dogfight thread or something.
Nor should you be able to lock onto a harrier in top aspect (Including potentially Aim-9Ls) or in rear aspect when viffing with most rear-aspect IR missiles in game.
Its a game limitation
stock with chaff you still stand little chance against most other planes as you need more missiles 2 9M and 2 120C5s wont net you many kills against decent openets when they launch 9 back at you bare minimum you need 4 missiles stock
wouldnt be so bad if top tier was more balanced.
if youre a hornet youre slow and will get hammered by Gripens
if youre a gripen you will get hammered by typhoons
everyone gets hammered by rafale
one poor guy is in the Harrier FA2 and didnt even make it to the battle
DECOMPRESS and wean people off the BVR SPAAMRAAM meta
Unless Lockheed engineers already found a way to violate laws of physics, F-35s still have only reduced IR signature, not non-existent.
Reduced IR signature works only at range.
also need to fix splash damage which is completely unrealstic theres no way a 120 with a warhead smaller than 10kg bomb is gonna splash a plane going mach 1
