Bro, who the hell at Gaijin thought putting the Su-15TM at 9.7 was a good idea?
Let’s just look at the damn missiles. The Su-15TM gets R-60 (Mach 2.5, 30G overload) and R-98MTV (Mach 3.5, 15G). Meanwhile, the F-104C at the exact same BR is stuck with four AIM-9Bs (Mach 1.5, 10G).
Mach 3.5 vs Mach 1.5. 30G vs 10G. Are you kidding me? The F-104C has absolutely ZERO advantages in this matchup.
And the worst part? You cannot even run away from it. The Su-15TM is faster, accelerates better, and holds its energy. You try to run? That Mach 3.5 R-98MTV or Mach 2.5 R-60 will catch you instantly. You are just a free kill.
I am flying a fighter jet, not a Boeing airliner. I shouldn’t be getting slaughtered like a helpless civilian plane just because I queued up in a US 9.7.
I’m literally getting PTSD from playing this game.
I am constantly facing endless waves of Soviet IR missiles: R-60, R-60MK, R-73, and R-73E . It’s absolute cancer. The jets carrying these things are sitting at BRs where they absolutely do not belong.
And where the hell are my AIM-9X and PL-10? Did you guys eat them?
The R-73 is literally learning how to breakdance and doing ballet in the air right now, pulling insane off-boresight shots, while its direct Western/Chinese competitors haven’t even been born yet. It’s a complete joke.
it should really be at least same br with the f4c. With the r-60 buff, and the r-98s being better than aim-7ds for close range, it has no reason to be at 9.7 with much worse planes like the sps-k/s
Many people were complaining about the F-104s being untouchable due to their acceleration and top speed at the BR they were at.
Nobody complained about the missiles because they’re bad.
