for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.

owning at jets, but then again most guys here suck. got 9 - 3 and all deaths were suicides by crashing into other F18s while following a MIG xD

Is 9 kills in a round really considered good? It used to be 30-0 was par for the course if you were 1/4 decent.

Pick one.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Anyway I get the feeling that jets could be vastly improved if they just reduced the disable threshold to 25% rather than 50%, that would mean one stinger couldn't disable you but one mobile AA volley could. I know the point of AA is to actually function against aircraft but the rock vs paper vs scissors analogy only works for vehicles in my eyes, infantry should be ants that are nothing more than a jam eating nuisance until there are at least a few of them scurrying around. Maybe you'd want to increase the recharge time on flares/extinguishers to compensate.

12v12 on consoles is probably what is keeping me at such low kills. That and jets to very little damage to vehicles other than jets and helicopters. I need 14 rockets to disable a tank, and then another set to destroy it. That's ridiculous.

Can't do shit in the Flanker! It's such a huge ass target.

Yeah I just gave the Flanker another go and I can't do a darn thing with them! The F18s always blend right into the environment or sky unlike the giant black "shoot here" triangles.
31 kills in F/A 18 and 1 in Flanker...

1 volley of rockets from far enough out then switch to mg and you can kill a tank...-Sh1fty- wrote:

Maybe in the Su-25 or A10 it's enough (infact you don't even need rockets in those aircraft to kill a tank with the guns) but with the fighter jets it's abit more difficult to do that, with belt speed it's easier but you're better off doing two volleys and using air radar.coke wrote:

Found a great way to kill jets, helos etc, Rush on defence on Kharg Island, swim to carrier, get in carriers anti air, bask in the glory of all the messages of hate sent to you as your ground their air arm for the entire game lol.
No idea why dice didn't make the carrier out of bound.

Got the hang of the Flanker! Feels exactly the same as the F/A 18 but seems to still turn slower.
Almost have the guided missile unlocked. Does it disable a vehicle in one hit? What I plan on doing is firing on at a tank than using guns so as to finish it off in one pass. Easier to hit a tank with one guided missile than 14 unguided ones.

Nope, it isn't. And you also won't do nearly as much damage. Guided missile sucks balls.-Sh1fty- wrote:

Guided missiles are useless, if you've unlocked air radar and rocket pods than forget about anything else you've unlocked or will unlock with jets. ECM Jammer is also not as effective as flares, ECM prevents anything locking onto you, but it lasts so pathetically short that you'll be locked on again pretty quickly, and in dogfights with anyone using A2A missiles they're even more worthless.
From my experience the rockets do the same damage no matter where they hit the tank, but for the guns it does matter. Try to hit tanks from the sides and back with the gun, coupled with a single volley of rockets and I've found it can do the job, as long as you're accurate. The top, not so much, I've attacked numerous tanks from the very top and they don't seem to be as weak as the sides/back. But still, lazy option is to spam two volleys and finish off with the gun from any direction. It can make you abit of a sitting target, abit, if you're not careful though. Flying around and hitting the vehicles from the sides/back you can be abit quicker with things, not having to slow down as much.
I haven't noticed any handling differences between the two sets of jets, whether it's the Su-35 vs F/A-18 or Su-25 vs A-10
I've been shot down in the stupidest ways possible, I can count at least three times getting shot out of the sky by a tank. Today I got RPG'd after slowing down and going way too low, sometimes I get complacent and stupid, so stupid things happen, but it's all part of the fun. Slowing down/throttle control is one of the most important things with flying in this game, but do it within reason, don't underestimate some of the fools on the ground, they can be handy with shit.
