Aim-9Ls have a max effective range of about 3km. So you are more than 5km out of range. You are also a super-sonic aircraft able to maintain that difference comfortably.
I also see a Swiss F-58 that is fighting them, and it has CMs, good chance that some of those A-10s have expected missiles, possibly even all of them.
In that situation I would have climbed hard to gain an alt advantage and then cautiously approached those A-10s, perhaps catching them unawares as they seem to be focusing on the Hunter F58.
Once I had a better assessment of the situation I would then decide on an attack plan, likely fast hit and run attacks, aiming to stay behind the A-10 wherever possible and avoid a turn fight.
If you’ve managed your energy right, even if they manage to turn around and fire off an Aim-9L in time, you are probably out of range for it to hit.

Why are you trying to head on A-10s in the T-2? You literally have the fuel and the engine power to go far higher in alt then they can, outside of their keen vision range no less, then dive down on them.
You’re playing the T-2 wrong and you’re showing us that you are in 4K.

Go cold after turning pop a few flares if possible try to distance yourself from them
T-2 doesn’t have flares.
But it is easily supersonic.
He has the ability to easily gain high alt before approaching them and then dive down on them unaware.

Bringing one extra pods isn’t gonna make it less of a boat.
I’m not and wasn’t in the pic either.
I went on to kill all 3 A-10s just after that screenshot was taken. Pretty funny huh? Also got a rising fast 2.5 K/D in it. I am not asking for advice I am asking the community what they think the options are.

A-10s don’t have to be unaware. They also aren’t unaware anytime after the 1st pass. What then?
So you’ve just confirmed the T-2 can 1v3 3x A-10s despite having no flares?
Awesome, thank you for this PSA

Don’t screw up your first pass, then. Simple as.
If you do, zoom away maintaining speed - And provided you maintained your speed properly leveling after the dive you’ll have so much speed the 9L cannot touch you.
Then you simply regain altitude at your leisure and either try again or find a different target. Fighting A-10s really isn’t hard. The only thing they have to try and dictate a fight is the 9Ls, but because the platform is so slow it really hampers the 9Ls potency to an engagement distance that’s the same as a 9B.
The T-2 has the speed and the energy to completely dictate the fight. It’s not hard to use the advantages to kill an A-10 unless you royally screw up.
Is there any reason you just jump to massive conclusions regarding message here? Also, peep my stats? Tell me sweetly if you think I’m the representation of the average player.

When you are 1v1, 1v2, 1v3, etc? When your teammates require your help to survive and it requires you to be put in front of A-10s?
I’m not going to help teammates that foolishly throw themselves in front of an A-10. Never have, never will. If they act like fodder I treat them like fodder. Simple as.

Yeah because it’s not easy to get third partied during a dogfight or anything.

It’s very easy and happens often. As annoying as it is that’s just how it happens even if your positioning is good.
If the maps were larger so people could spread out more and not just furball, it’d be less of a complaint. However, that’s a tangent that’s a sideline from the main topic here.
Just like the 104 and the Jaguar, the T-2 is best utilized to BnZ opponents as the turning ability and lack of CMs are about it’s only real downsides other than lack of total A2A armament. You play it right, and you should be able to profit provided you aren’t just unlucky or in an uptier. If you play it poorly, you get sent back to the hanger real quick.
Same applies to basically every other aircraft.

Although i know there is always something you can do, i still say its a little bull that jets without flares can see all aspects. I think anything with 9ls or even r60ms should be 10.7 minimum. 9ms should be 12.0 minimum. Dont even look at the jet, if it has these missiles these are the brs it should be and then moved up if needed.
