It’s Gaijin what do you expect?
A Russian plane that’s better then the Hunter but is higher in B.R.? Never…
it has countermeasures, adequate rwr and great missiles compared to the mig
What??? A stupid comparison: the MiG is faster, the MiG has a higher thrust-to-weight ratio, the MiG has missiles with both PARL and an IR seeker, the MiG will always force a fight against you, and you’ll always be playing defense. You’d have to be stupid to not understand such an obvious point and cite the presence of better missiles as an incontrovertible argument.
The Hunter’s ballistic missile rating is sloppy.
very shitty ones at that, while you have countermeasures that instantly defeat both
and the mig will be forced to tip toe around you because if he shows you the tail end - he ends up dead
To launch either the R-3S or the 9J, you need to enter the rear hemisphere. Will the MIG let the Hunter do that? Missiles are absolutely useless here; it’s like the A-10S—you have four 9M missiles, but you’re always the bait because you’re slower and less dynamic.
Aviation and the sea aren’t tanks. There’s nowhere to hide in the air or at sea—speed, detection range, and firepower matter. The MIG is head and shoulders above the Hunter in every metric except the latest. And the early missiles are still a gamble.
PS
And yes, why did the Mirage, which the Germans used, get inferior missiles, even though it’s a more modern aircraft? It’s impossible to understand the Gaijin’s logic—it simply doesn’t exist. Battle ratings are given out for no reason. And they’re adjusted years later, when the vehicles are no longer relevant. It’s like filling the research tree with unnecessary junk to increase the time it takes to level up to the top-tier vehicles, to incentivize buying the $80 pack. And then at the top ranks there are battles - 16 premiums against 16 premiums and a team that just flies somewhere and loses in 5 minutes.
the swiss
it also gets canards, RATO boosters, countermeasures, rwr
pretty big sidegrade if you ask me
it will lose in a sustained turn - if you catch the mig while its in a low energy state - its dead and nothing will help it
if you catch a glimpse of its rear - its dead and nothing will help it
i dont actually think you are here to argue properly so i wont go on
have a nice day
that specific modification of the mirage 3 never used the Aim-9E, as it wasnt in service anymore when the upgrade happened, it used the Aim-9P
Its wild that people try to invalidate entire points by just saying “you dont argue according to my personal preference and therefore anything you say is invalid.”
Chill bro, you’re on a public forum where other people have an experience different than yours. Why are you so salty someone disagreed with you?
If you hate it when people dont immediately waive the white flag to your logic then don’t comment.
Still completely dead over you saying he wasnt here to argue the right way. Absolutely hilarious.
You can’t invalidate a point that never really had any sybstance to begin with.
Well I mean technically you can, it’s just a waste of time.
I think the issue is that most people, on any forum, have an expert authority complex and are only interested in whatever their pet preference is. Folks are arrogant, foolish, self exalty, blah blah blah.
Its just obnoxious watching 99% percent of folks on both sides of an argument flaunt their intellect while completely blind to the fact that they’re no smarter than the next guy and they’re getting emotional attached to being right in a public space where 50% or more of people are going to disagree with them for just breathing.
Point is, dont argue if you’re gonna get emotional about someone disagreeing with you (not you specifically, general statement).
Edit, saying someone isn’t arguing the right way is just as laughable as, in your example, someone who has a bad opinion.
literal strawman fallacy, i just stated things that make the plane higher than the other one, there is NOTHING i said that could be interpreted as
the guy resorts to calling me names over presenting arguments to cement his point, i dont think there is any good discussion to be had with a guy that is clearly very agitated over a flareless mig at 9.7
You’d have to be stupid to not understand such an obvious point
You’re making my point for me lol. You’re getting bothered over my statement and are doing everything to justify yourself.
Chill my guy, step away from the keyboard and be fine with people on the internet disagreeing with you - even if you THINK they’re wrong.
And to your piont about the strawman blah blah blah.
You only cry strawman because you’re so focused on being right that you actually can’t understand what I just said.
yeah just tell me outright
i have no idea what you are trying to tell me tbh
I’ve been pretty plain about it man, dunno what else to tell yah. Have a good day.
