BR 13.0 jet with AIM-120s and 9M's versus as low as BR 12.0 players who have no idea how to evade fox-3s and think hugging the ground (multipathing) will save them= absolute massacres round after round.
I recently started bringing them to top tier and this was my first chance to use them. Most of the time I never get within IR missile range. Video related.
I feel like its a huge surprise for most top tier players since they assume everyone only carries radar missiles at top tier.
I am never able to pull off shots like this with any other missile in the game, why?
No like seriously. I can never pull off sick back-to-back kills like this in ANY other jet. What am I doing wrong? My KDR in the Rafale is ~3.0, with every other jet I am lucky if I break a 1.0.
Surely that'd be impossible.
Went much better than expected
Why didn't either of us take damage tho?
I'm not talking about the fact that I missed a few times, yeah it would've been better to hit him right away rather than missing him a few times, of course I know that!
What I'm really asking about is the flight maneuvers I took.
Were the maneuvers I took the best way to take this guy out, or was there some other maneuver that would've had me kill him a lot faster?
New to early jets (I skipped them via base bombing to get to top tier) but now I've decided to actually play early jets for a change.
Every time I see someone at the prop tiers, they try to headon me, but aside from just aiming at them, and spraying and praying, how can I ensure I always win the headon?
Or should I just not commit to headons in the first place?
This headon BS never happens at top tier. 😏
It's a pity that I had to grind France just to get true HOBS missile performance on a NATO platform, even though IRL, the AIM-120C and D are fully capable of shots like this, it's literally proven.
The Rafale's insane UFO-like flight performance and MICA-EM thrust vectoring makes it immune to ambushes.
God I love this jet.
Just think of the profits! 🤣
You know you'd buy one!
nuclear thunder is superior to ARB in every way even with the balance issues, so I won’t be touching ARB in this game again until they make nuclear thunder permanent, and of course, fix the balance issues that were plaguing the mode, but I think everyone who plays nuclear thunder feels the same, that even in it’s unbalanced, relatively broken state, it’s so much better than ARB it’s not even a contest.
Nuclear thunder feels almost like a real war, like a Battlefield game, and ARB feels like a Call of Duty shoebox.
I can’t go back to the call of duty-esque shitfest that is normal ARB after experiencing nuclear thunder, as flawed as it was. huge maps, you respawn, you progress through the map like a theater of conflict, you can use even weaker jets to their full potential, because the maps are large and it allows jets that might not be the best at dog fighting or air superiority to excel their historical roles, like bombing, you can also use glide bombs, etc. Bombing actually matters in this mode even more than air combat.
Once they fix the balance issues with the overpowered SPAA and the Russian bias issues of the Russian side winning a lot, on top of not giving us enough rewards for playing the mode, and not having different tiers of the mode for expanded BR ranges, lower BRs etc. Once they fix all that, this mode will be perfect, but even in its current imperfect state, there’s no chance in hell I’m going back to normal ARB, normal ARB feels like the demo mode of the game compared to nuclear thunder
