I know that, but J7E’s respective BR is in the current version, not in the last where F14s flew around. I currently find IR missile incompetent especially as Mig23, F14, F4 and mirage, some of the most common planes at 11.0-12.0 range have huge number of flares and PL5B is just not able to lock on. Again the problem regarding short burntime comes into play when you realise that PL5B has a range of 5km but can only ensure a kill within 2.5.
PL-5B can definitely kill something at 3km; you just need speed and altitude. I usually fly at 3-4km altitude at a down tier or around 11.0. In up-tier games, try to fly low.
I’m done with J7E even though it is so good this version, I’m stockgrinding J8B so I am so annoyed about me trying to dogfight F5s and then a 9L or R60M comes out of nowhere. Also the radar is so bad that I can’t lock onto an F4 in a head on engagement.
I would try to avoid dogfights as much as possible, but I would only try to dogfight at the end of the game. Don’t use the radar on the J-7E; it is a range finder. Just keep playing, and you will have the muscle memory to look around more. You have many countermeasures, so it wouldn’t hit to drop flares when you are focusing on someone.

Is this always the case or is it a recent thing that even with a tier 7 vehicle researching a tier 6, you have to take 10% RP loss?
also regarding the radar, it is the J8B not J7E
Yea J8B’s radar don’t have PD. You can only lock people above you or you are at high altitude.
Bro that is so annoying, I used a 200% so I lost like 2k RP. I’m thinking about base bombing rather than using Aspide, am I a bit … I just don’t think I will get any kills even if I have Asipide.
S K I L L - I S S U E, It’s actually a easy radar bruh
Imagine having a even worse radar at this BR.
Well i guess it “Engineering skills issue”

four air targets or two ground targets
The radar we get in the game can engage two air targets and 0 ground targets simultaneously, because the A-G mode isn’t modelled.
