It also used to have no tracers so it was even harder to hit anything
I really wonder how exactly you make a caged seeker missile with no pull work in a dogfight?
The Saab105 is also the lowest BR plane with them afaik so you don’t really get the true 9B experience IMO. We’ll see if your opinion changes once you play the J32B or something of similar BR
After doing some checking, it would appear the issue was me using the sea vixen for red tops and mostly f9f for aim9b. oops.
I have a feeling it is one of two things.
A: he dogfought a jet into very low energy then fired his aim9b
B: he jumped a dude who was already dogfighting a teammate
Yeah, such a surprise. “Yeah, I third parties a full downtier opponent after he spent the last while dogfighting my teammate! You all have skill issues for not being like me!”
Highly likely. The only time the 9B can get kills is if the enemy is stalling in a dogfight.
You just have to learn their envelope and use them on appropriate targets, they don’t have to be stalling though of course being slow helps a ton. They are fantastic utility and they are always worth bringing in any scenario, that is what i would call a “good” missile, even if it is the worst of the rest. On its own merits, it’s good.
I wish i had better clips to show as well, but i don’t tend to record mundane missile kills unless there is some other factor that makes it interesting.

Yeah sure but those clips are irrelevant to the debate we were having about dogfights. I never stated the 9B cannot kill straight flying targets that don’t know you exist.
I said the only way toget a kill in a dogfight is if the enemy is stalling. None of your clips showed anything close to dogfights.
Not you again xD
We never said it was bad. You were the one not listening to our explanations, you kept repeating the same stuff over and over
We said we got plenty kills, we never said it was bad. We tried to explain to you why we think it’s not an issue for a decent player, but you didn’t listen and kept saying we used wrong when we were telling you we used it effectively. It’s effective, but mostly because people forget to look back sometimes
If the targets knows the missile is coming and they can’t avoid it, they’re either stalling, compressing, or a plane with very poor turn. And when complaining about the AIM-9B you were in literally in a Vampire, you had no excuse.
What? Almost no one there has flares, and the ones who do are poor attackers that will get eaten alive in a dogfight. The irrelevant argument is you talking about flares at all here
It will sometimes struggle to lock engines that aren’t afterburning, but I don’t blame it on that tbh
As stated above, any plane that is in capacity to turn decently will dodge the missile easily. The only exception here is high altitude combat, where the low drag will actually give the AIM-9B surprisingly good agility and range. But most fights in ARB go down at pretty low altitude.
The problem there isn’t even the missile, it’s the presence of mach 2 planes at that BR. They just make the gameplay worse but running away constantly. But that’s another issue.
Won’t go into that because I’m not a great player either. But don’t try to justify your k/d that way because your stats on the SAAB-105G, the A-29B, SK-60B, etc are very mediocre
Yeah tbh the Saab 105 has some power in it but I didn’t like how the plane flies at all. It’s probably fine in its playstyle since some people say it’s a beast, but I have rarely found that power
You have to try and energy trap people and use your air spawn to get above people. Unfortunately your average opponent at that BR out climbs you from the runway so good luck.

Average state of compression lol, the only thing you do well others will do better
Sabre/MiG-15Bis moment
I can’t wait for the SK60B to go back to 7.7 and be useless because lobotomites like this guy let me do dumb stuff like this and win

Yeah that’s the thing, people are so bad, I very frequently kill people while wondering how in the world they managed to lose
For example when I played the J29A I had some surprisingly good results while having absolutely no idea what was good about that plane. People just kept giving themselves to my guns

That’s me with the BT-42, I still have it on my 10.3 lineup

Some people are literally like that xD
Whenever they see a convo about how overtiered a plane is they turn the convo into a skill flexing opportunity, it’s so annoying
Though in this community it’s not as bad as others I’ve seen

Meanwhile when you look at their stats, they have a 0.6 KD, and their proof on how good the vehicle is, is clearly a custom battle
