And you obviously don’t know how flying straight is too easy in ARB.
It is literally something a player with no playing Jet RB experience can do with actual brain cells, and while it is less toxic than the BR9.7 F-104A when we had BR hard caps, it is close enough to it that the current F-104A/F-104C is easy to fly.
I spaded my F-104A(ROCAF) in few days ago but, I don’t want to play this thing in ARB anymore because it takes no skill for killing enemy aircrafts and it is just unfair for facing against 9.3-8.3BR subsonic jets. In fact, I am not good at flying supersonic jets in ARB, but I still get 2KPF and 6KD in my stats for the F-104A (ROCAF) that is really decent at any BR.
The only problem with flying the F-104A/F-104C is the awful teammates who skipped the grind and chose the road to the F-14B or MiG-29 instead of learning to play Jet RB.
then don’t play it? you are literally whining about a single jet, when there are 9.3 jets with R60s, hell the fact you actually made a post complaining about 1 plane is comical and not the true problem. You also aren’t talking about how useless the f104 is when it gets uptiered to fight mig-21s
What you should be complaining about his why gaijin increased the BRs on many of those 8.3 planes, because thats what they did. Every sabre sub sonic mig / yak could sit at 8.0 and they would be fine, instead gaijin has them at 8.3 and 8.7, because its clear that gaijin does not want people only flying sub sonics anymore, for whatever reason they don’t want people to have fun.
Yea I know, poor guy, at least he was on their team. Before there was this, there was also F9Fs facing props. So much balans going on. At least the game was better, and so were the players. That all changed once they started to add tanks and focus on ground ordinance as well. Too bad. Kind of wished they’d not make that all available in the same game but would of done the same that wargames did and create separate games for each vehicle type.
they used to be at a higher BR… you know what happened to them… they got clubbed and literally were being shot down by radar missiles and they still get killed by radar missiles because they have no counter measures, and if you think they are going to head on a Phantom or a Mig 21BIS i don’t know what to tell you.
Nesher/Mirage 5 is fine at 10.0.
And this is about F-104, which I said my peace.
9.3 for now until decompression happens.
Just turn and they can’t hit you.
