It’s not the first time this has happened to me and when it happens I just no longer want to play. I play top tier jet, I have missiles flying straight at me, I back off and try to dodge them. Once I’m back on the battlefield, all the enemies are already dead. What kind of game is this where you have to dodge missiles and once you do, you can do nothing because all the enemies in front die in 30 seconds? There are even times when you hope your missiles will hit before the avalanche of ally missiles that are spammed on all the enemies. Back to the lobby, great game.

This is what “top tier enjoyers” play the game for.
That and the repair simulator due to “detailed” and “realistic” tanks.
Truly amazing and rewarding gameplay.
(You should change the way you approach the battlefield to not get instantly targeted but that’s very plane specific.)

Whats the reason behind some people having say 1.5+ k/b? They are playing the same game as you, and yet there is a huge difference somehow.
My man you seem to play rafale, aka THE best plane in the game period, a good amount, if thats not enough for you to at least break 1.0 k/b, nothing is. As much as I dont want to dumb it down to “skill issue’”, theres nothing else really.

The main reason is ego. 90% of the people that bottom feed in this game talk like they know something, then proceed to be trash.
The first half of improving is admitting you’re doing something wrong, the other is experimenting and searching for clues on how to improve.

No, I don’t play in ARB anymore but more in GRB currently. I just wanted to make my modifications with the 20005F and I don’t only play France, I have unlocked jets like the USA, Germany, Russia, and China, so I have all the high-level jets except the J11B. I just notice that the games last 30 seconds; in any case, I don’t think it’s a competence problem. That’s the argument some people use to respond to others because they have nothing to develop. I strongly advise you to deepen your argument instead of talking about KD, because my message is not about KD competencies but solely about how the current ARB works. Moreover, I see a topic where you are whining about the Rafale; that’s why you think I play it, and thus you came to unleash your hatred on players who play this nation. You are just pathetic.
Rather stupid how France gets either a fairly strong 14.3 or mid 14.7 while the rest of us are stuck at 14.0, if not lower. The average yesterday-miragef1c200-basebomber manages 1.25 K/B and 1.7 K/D in it according to statshark. For comparison, Italian typhoon barely touches 0.8 and 1.0 respectevly. Also funny how that doesnt apply to said IT typhoon, is it not? Go see French teams at around 12.0 at any point during the last half a year. And then consider the fact that the raflale alone has more games in it than;
well try
I simply see you have close to 400 games in the current absolute top dog in ARB, no dispute, no argument, no discussion, no anything, and have 0.6 k/b in that thing. That is everything one needs to know about how much your opinion on “current state of things and everyone around me” is worth. Not much, to be extra generous.

I just see that on certain topics you complain about the Rafale and the French nation, and that you rushed to leave me. You are probably playing Rafale, and that’s not the subject I’m playing about, but rather the mechanism of the ARB that I feel. I’m not here to say that I have a bigger one than anyone else, unlike you. If you have arguments regarding what I express about the ARB, that’s fine, but if you’re just here to watch people’s KD or talk to them about skills, just move on.
To summarize, if you don’t really understand the subject, when I play ARB and I’m not the only one besides you, the god of the game, the games are super fast and yes, you can also see in your statistics at the end of the game that a lot of allies don’t kill anyone because they don’t have the time since the enemies are already all dead. I’m talking about the beginning of the games, what? Do you need to come to the forum with a KD like you’d like for us to express ourselves? Who are you? A bit strange this kind of character, you should go get some help, just a piece of advice for your mental well-being.
Ok, how about argument number one then.
Thesis - you are doing something very very wrong.
Proof - according to stats, avg. player has k/b of 1.2. You have 0.6. Why is this? What do they do that you dont? What is the difference? There is one, very much evidently.
As soon as you figure that one out, you would be able to move on. Otherwise - enjoy your stay, I guess?

Rafale is not OP.
It has similarly good AMRAAMs known as MICA EM, and 2x Magic 2s if people want to bring them.
The best 14.0s aren’t what you think.
As for the topic, Muja you should be defeating missiles while heading toward the battlefield.
It’ll improve your lethality and positioning.

It is, and that’s no insulting. Checking your record, you flew a lot of planes, but not a single one often enough to become good at it. Seems to me you never learned the basics: Judging enemy’s energy state, positioning yourself correctly, fighting against multiple enemies, reversing, choosing targets. When you didn’t learned it in lower tiers in a way you don’t have to think about it, toptier never will be your friend, because in toptier there is no time to think about it. Another point is, I guess there are only a view planes in your record with an ass crew. E.g. flying a F5 with or without an ass crew is a huge difference. And in toptier the difference is much bigger, because you can fly manouvers most of your opponents are not able to.
AirRB is a lot of try n’ error.
If you are willing to get better, search for a good squadron with a learners squadron and training sessions. And then you will see how many work it is to become a good pilot. ;-)
Explain to me then why the British Eurofighters have more KD than the Italians when they have the same plane
Different players… can’t say anything else since the plane is literally the same.

Once again, I am talking about statistics at the end of the game when most players haven’t made a single kill yet, while the game has only just begun. I’m not talking about learning; otherwise, are all those people who don’t have the time to launch a single missile while the enemies are all dead useless as you claim? What do you not understand in my message? It is quite simple: games are generally too fast, period.
Let’s not forget the vehicles themselves in this equation, because it’s a very important one.
Is the vehicle stock? Partially finished researching mods? Spaded?
What vehicle is it? What does it face? How does it stack up in the BR range it faces?
Being good at the game is only one part of the equation, but even a good player can only do so much with a bad vehicle on a bad map - And all of the maps are bad.
Having looked at your replays it looks like you are backing off too much, and fly low too much. Although I can see that you have been stock grinding the mirage and f18, so all of them may not be fully representative.
I find the most effective strategy to keep climbing and fully relying on notching missiles. That way you can capitalize on your positioning to reliably kill unspotted people at multipath height if there is no one to contest you. If there are people to contest you, you can have some fun fights and demolish people with the MICA.
Games are very fast and if you fly low and safe you will absolutely get bored, since everyone you spot will already have 10 other people trying to kill them. Fly high and aggressive and you will have a lot more fun.
What I (and, by extension, you aswell) think, feel or believe in is not important. What is Important is that if some X plane has the highest winrate, k/d and k/b among the entire rank 8 all at the same time, then for all intents and purposes it will be referred to as “the best”.
Then, if some Y player has his stats in X plane lower than “average” by a factor of 2, that would be at the very least highly concerning.
And then when Y expresses his very important opinion on how everything is so shit and ufair and unfun and whatever, despite his performance in X being through the floor, it just becomes comical. Simple as, really.
Win rate is team skill.
KDR on Statshark is player skill.
For consistent players, KDR in relation to other vehicles that specific player uses is vehicle related.
Scientific method.
I checked Defyn and his Rafale stats are effectively identical to his other aircraft.
