but thats the thing, firing further away isnt necessarily better. They are just too easy to defeat. Firing later/closer, leaving less time to defend, can often be way better than long ranged shots.

You think aim9m would make it 13.3 worthy? Lol
Su27 is 13.0 tho

Exactly. A/B are good within 15-20km
C5 is “good” outside of that but once you’re outside of 15km they just notch, chaff and the missile is ignored. It maneuvers worse due to smaller fins so even if it gets close it won’t catch planes as often doing hard turns.
So in the end the benefit of the enhanced BVR energy performance isn’t especially helped with the average seeker nor the shorter wings and heavier weight from the engine it has. The design falls flat gameplay wise.

If only that was true
Wow somehow you made a worse BR to Performance Ratio than the F-14B at 13.0
should def be 13.3 same with SU33
