Only reason I am going for them is because they can have a rather healthy bomb loadout while still keeping a good missile loadout for anti-CAS in AirRB at 10.7 (Gaijin thinks they’re fine at 10.7 ground)
Which is why I am going for it. I don’t really need any other jets for AirRB since I have the Gripen and Eurofighter Typhoon. (I like the Gripen more than the Eurofighter) But I do need a competent aircraft for 10.7 ground hence the Phantoms. (the other options are the Sea Harrier and the Buccaneer but neither carry enough missiles to deal with air threats.)
Yeah, I absolutely adore the AIM-9D on the Ayit, but that is 9.3. I’ve never bothered using the Kfir C.7 even after unlocking it purchasing it ages ago, simply because I cbf with a AIM-9D stock grind at 12.0. I’m also not about to reward Gaijin’s money grubbing by GEing my way through it. Although, at least it gets Python3s at the end of the grind.
I just got mine… i was full of hope that when i pass all of those painful modifications and finally get to the AIM7E my fate would change… surprise! That radar can’t lock shit… and if it does… AIM7E chose not to follow the target… just fly straight. is it the plane or I’m doing something wrong 😑 I’m not mentioning that at 11.7 there is Viggen with RB71, RB74 and a decent radar, Mirage F1 with magic2.
No that’s just Aim-7Es in a nutshell, they have their own minds. The Skyflash is supposedly a better version but they have the same quirks. My advice is just take a plane you did well in and skip the FGR.2 entirely.
I had a perfect lock on the Mig-23 but my missile tracked my allied Mirage instead while I maintained a lock on the Mig-23. This was a standard Skyflash.
I just spaded mine, my favourite 12.0 aircraft so far (Admittedly the only other one I flew was the FGR.2), and I still have a minor idea of what I am doing but I definitely know I am not doing the best I can in the plane itself. The Skyflash SuperTEMPs are so damn great however.
I see a lot of people reporting SARH going for allies and yet I’ve never had it happen once, even against a target right next to multiple allies and I have no idea what I do differently to avoid it happening
If you get downtiered, climb and you will destroy people trying ot hide in MP. If you get an uptier (and ufnrotunately that is every single match at the moment) your best bet is to stay out of the fight and then hack and slash through the furball.
But i usually play it in SB and its really good there
I wanna try it in SB but I need to get proper controllers first (Joystick) before I start with sim. I tried Mouse and Keyboard but it didn’t feel very good. The mouse jerks the plane and it rolls more than it should just for a simple turn.
I wanted that phantom mainly for SB. I like 11.3 and 11.7 BR but sadly Britain has only these two phantoms at 11.3 (I mean fighters), then 12.0 and 13.7. I love Tornadoes but their maneuverability sucks. I can’t use attackers as fighters forever.
They are decent, but for some reason I just cant stand the Phantoms in SB, but with the new SB brackets coming 2/4 rotations the Tornado F3 and Phantom FGR2 will share a bracket and there will be one bracket where the FGR2 will be a bracket lower than the F3, but the F3 will still be perfectly viable.
i personally think having no chaff and 2 aim-9Ds is very fair against amraams. surely the devs must’ve thought about this too to put a plane that is worse in almost all ways than the F-4J/S on the same BR
all you have is a little more thrust
Yeah, many rank 7 aircraft could do with the same treat that rank 8s got. SARH stock. Not that it would help much, the compression is stupid at that BR
Well, in general i believe a base set up , should be a full early built armament.
For FGR.2 for example, 4x 9D + 4x7E.
Still it won’t help much, but at least it won’t feel worse than playing a full armament 11.0 …
Supposed in the game you are …progressing.
It doesn’t feel like it …
And yes you can pay or play the AB assault , but look how cool it looks:
^Yippee i obtained a new plane!! Now i have to place 2h in playing a mode i don’t even care it exists (it could have been a good mode and i would be ok… PvE but cool PvE not that PvE they give us)^ ,
or …
Power rangers music hits- you start making the moves and pull the credit card, plane transforms…
Really now?
You see it’s ok to promote your sales… but that way you may lose more people than actually would pay you.
Iv spaded alot of vics.
Most pain by far. 12.7 mirage and f15a.
I had to eagle some of the mirage it was that bad- 2 magic 1’s and 2 super matra F= was something like 2 kills 20 deaths. The F15a is currently.the same- il probs GE it too.
Id love to see a gaijin employee show us how its done
