The top tieri situation in SIM is now clear to everyone, with the advent of Fox 3 the combat doctrine and changed, that is, shoot and go to defense. The problem arises when the BR interested ranges from 13.0 to 14.0, and between a 13.0 and 14.0 there is an abyss. Everything that does not equip the Fox 3 is strongly penalized, as it cannot divert the radar hook and therefore it is literally a free kill for AIM 120 and R77. That’s why Fox 3 planes should only compete with other planes with Fox 3, especially in simulative where this factor feels enormously.

Yeah trying to use planes with only ir missiles or ir and sarh missiles against aim120’s feels really unbalanced, you can totally get kills but nearly as easily. In the lower bracket with a max of 13.0 the lower br planes with arh missiles like the j8f and the f4f ice dominate, and planes like the su27 feel useless in the 13.3-14.0 bracket.
trash and overnerfed russian radar with fox1 vs f15e and ef2k = balance
The thread title is axiomatic and eternal.

The difference is already noticeable with planes such as the MIG-29SMT which even if equipped the R77, it is absolutely not competitive against the AIM-120, which apparently seems to be better, so the thing feels significantly more against planes that do not have Not even Fox3 missiles, in any nation it is located. If we also want to talk about differences I would say that those who equip AIM120A/B also have an extra margin on I Fox 3 in general. Having said that there is a need for more decompression
Thay should make more br ranks to spred planes in batter. F15A is now forced to play agains FOX3 with only FOX 1 and 2 missails. This isnt the only plane at this br without FOX 3. It seems like the snail has forget about the sim.
Lol imagine being a F20 being uptiered all the time.
