If they don’t turn off their afterburner maybe.
anyway this is how the playerbase currently performs in the f4s and mig-23ml. I say it’s just a massive skill issue on US mains who buy into toptier but you can interpret the data however you like:
The f4j by the way, an objectively worse plane, performs significantly better at least in the kill ratios if not in winrate. British F4J however compares pretty closely to F4S kill ratios, but has a 4.5% higher winrate.
Meanwhile the british tech tree fgr sits at 0.81 kills per battle (0.8 for the fg.1), only surpassed by the EJ kai and F-4F KWS LV
ah yes, mig23 somehow being too powerful after the radar was toned down and the flight model kinda bleeds its speed, meanwhile the f4j having a functional radar and RWR .3 higher with the second best SARH ingame currently and with HMD lololol and you have the audacity to complain that its too weak, crying until you get another undertiered jet, like the block 10 f16a at 12.3 is somehow balanced because it was “suffering” or something idk, this is just unbelievable levels of cope
All-aspect IRs where most have rear-aspect (on supersonic fighter)
Best SARH at that BR range
(R-24Ts are some of the best IR missiles for the BR range too if you dont want the SARH missiles)
IRST
Good handling/dogfight performance (does need manual wing sweep control these days from what i’ve heard)
Yes, i’ve heard the auto-swapping on the radar is an issue, but other than that. Its hard to work out why the Mig-23MLD is 11.7 vs an aircraft like the F4J at 12.0. Even more crazy when you look at SB where the Mig-23MLD is 11.3 vs the F4J at 12.0.
F-4J (US) vs Mig-23MLD is a reasonably fair fight (F-4J(UK) vs Mig-23MLD is definetly a fair fight). Especially when the SPO-10/15 RWRs got a fake buff so that they can detect PD radar locks
that would be… R-24R… lol, if you don’t count R-27R as separate from R-27ER that is. If you do, it’s R-27R as 2nd then R-24R as 3rd, AIM-7M/F are 4th lol
They’re amazing too, R-60Ms are just nutty in head ons.
I actually prefer to take the 2x R-24Ts, combined with the very common downtiers and IRST it’s just nutty, you can go to Angels 25 and then smite people from above since they don’t get their RWR pinged and nobody expects a 9km IR missile shot.
You honestly don’t, since getting my new PC I haven’t even bothered setting them up.
Genuinely the only issue, which is null to me because I use R-24Ts
Looking at SARH overall (at all BRs) I’d probably place it joint second with the R-27R. Still will be much weaker than the R-27ER. But the IOG will place it above basically all others. It will outrange R-24Rs under most conditions.
