Toptier is UNPLAYABLE

yes the E/I is a kinda chonky guy

recently I’ve been enjoying not doing BVR in things like the gripen and F16D barak quite a bit, BVR is a bit stale, not much variation in the gameplay, but mechanically notching works because the radar on the missiles being fired at you can only really detect you if youre moving towards or away from them so if you fly perpendicular to them they can see you which makes them switch detection modes to a mode that is prone to chaff, sure if you get lucky 1 chaff can work but its not recommended as its a couple chaff is far cheaper than your life

however if someone with a good radar (basically just AESA radars atm) maintains lock on you while firing an ARH missile at you then uhhh bad luck i guess cant really notch two things coming from different angles at the same time

idk how much you know but knowing how radars and notching actually worked helped me

Even though theres a lot that could be fixed in your post, I totally get your frustration, youre right about the stuff that really matters :)

this game has never been as messed up as it is now

If you don’t like it, don’t play top tier. I don’t play it much myself because for me it’s more about the plane than the actual player skill.

skill issue…

??? The Ef’s Radar Sucks, there’s no way you think the EF is better than other jets in the tier, Su-30’s still dominate along with the Eagle’s

29

ur affection issues aren’t that deep as ur ego. just ignore it

30

technically yes: EF-2000 has way better radar and fuselage, meaning u can lose less speed and turn tighter to start the notch earlier than a Strike Eagle, which is a fat plane with 2 massive rockets behind it

31

And prior to the Rafale and Typhoon the F-15C and then F-15E ruined top tier.

MICA EM are just OP and need nerfing.

32

its a vicious cycle: plane is OP? don’t nerf it, add a new one that will for sure ruin the gameplay

plane is OP at GRB? don’t nerf it, just add SPAAs that can kill it in the first 0.0000000000001secs it spawns so it can ruin the gameplay

33

but even with that, F-15s weren’t that OP before Rafale and Typhoon.
u still had a chance with Su-27SM and Gripen, etc

34

They were. They outclimbed everything, were faster than everything and just spammed missiles.

Gripen was tricky, you had to force a dogfight to get the kill, which you rarely could. Especially if you had R-Darters.

35

The top tier jets could really use the new modules that they added on the Warthogs and Frogfoots, that way the Rafale or Flankers wouldn’t be able to pull off the nasty shots after being damaged, because of avionics damage.

Hopefully they add them to literally everything

37

I know it will take them time to model each single one, but the fact that they started already is a good thing.

38

Yeah it is, just hope it isnt a snails pace of deployment (pun intended)

Also not gonna lie, the avionic models in the X-ray view look really cool, they are quite detailed.

I’ve not looked at them yet, but yeah. Kinda a shame how empty most aircraft are.

Also need higher fidelity damage models in general.

Except for bombers haha, those need the opposite, they literally snap wings with low calibers…
