Hmm, the F35b seems to have lost it missile magnetism, actually owned the J10 last night with the F35b.

But for the rest, not very much has changed.

the j10's machine gun aiming has been fuked up...now its harder to take out blackhawks in 1 pass...and f35's are just as easy to take out as they were

I think you'll find thats because the BHs armor has been increased not coz ur missing with the J10.

Same here, I chased some over their runway and the missiles actually seemed to trace, lol

Yea i noticed a change in the J-10's MG too... instead of coming out at the bottom of the huge " O " aiming reticle, it's dead center of the circle now.

you'd think that the j-10s would have been nerfed by now, especially after the conversion of the black hawk to a shorcut to death

I seem to have noticed the change in MG had a hell of a time at first getting the aim down again.

I havent played this game in awhile since yesterday, but they changed all the jets MGs and where they shoot from, me i dont like where it comes from now i liked it when it kind of came from the side or below but now on the jets its all dead center.. i dont see why that changed that... no newbs were complaining about that... haha

^ Ive been the same,

They really have stuffed up the mg's on the j10, i felt this the first time i got in it after the patch.

I still reckon they gave those mgs the same thing they gave the blackhawk guns.

OK ive had a bit of a play around now

- J10s MGs now seem to spread slightly, so u must hold em down longer
- f-35s are no less of a missile magnet.
- i have found i can stick missiles from an f35 to the back of a j10 easier. they actually seem to go at it.
- blackhawks take a couple second longer of MGs to kill
- not much changes to the other planes, they were pretty balanced, but the Mig is still better then the f-18 at turning, f18 better at dodging the missiles when already going at it.
- MGs look different to before, seem to be little dots rather than a longer bit light moving.
- j10 seems to takeoff quicker, meaning smacktards have less time to get to the underside of your jet on takeoff

I left a wake only server after getting shot down 3 times by an F-35, while I was in a J-10. I was yelling at my monitor, calling him a cheater, blah blah. Then later I got in another wake only server and hopped in a '35. I got behind a J-10, and I was just like "meh, why not" and fired all my missles....and.....he...........died?!?! I was like WTFBBQ!!!

I shot down the same guy 6 times with the '35. I actually made him jump out TWICE when I locked him...HAHAHAHA! THE J10 HAS BEEN NERFED....YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

However, the F-35 has not improved...at...all! I got shot down by a stinger yesterday, and 3 missles were DEAD accurate, despite flairing and pulling like 15 G turns.

well the f35 finaly has a chance against the j10.....missiles do no "magicly" make a 90 degree turn when they are about to hit the j10 lol.

as i said, the changes did not touch the movement of each jet, only that the missiles from a f35 will tend to stick to a j10 more, but even then, its still easy to dodge them if ur a good pilot.

but missiles from a j10 still do stick to the f35, u can just lookat him, lock on and launch 3 for an almost sure kill, without even seeing if they hit.

but its slightly more balanced i reckon if u r the f35 chasing the j10, and just hunt them on the runway while they refuel.
