For reference, this guy, https://www.toysrus.com/products/worlds-smallest-r-c-helicopter-west0966?srsltid=AfmBOorgwBoO3LPpvPfMcgRmwd3AFwN_9KiZ3Pwrx0XDsZZIfbhbOKz9, has horizonal a rod placed above the top rotor, Why is it there? What purpose does it serve and how does it work?
I am done playing this plane, I lost my shit trying to spade it to get RP, you cannot describe the feeling to frustrations and despair this plane gave me every single match, you will not believe how close I came to straight up punch my monitor while playing this plane.
What it's like? Flying it is honestly not too bad, it's just that the missiles tend to not hit shit when I want it to.
The fuckery is in the overall game dynamics. This plane has zero presence, at 12.3 everyone and their moms gets some kind of radar missile that can at least threaten from afar, this thing, it gets heatseekers, and fucking abysmal ones at that. I cannot contest anyone until get to the merge and by that point I'm probably dead. Early game I just can't do anything to anyone, I have to go all the way to the side, wait for the missile spam to end, constantly on the defensive against their missiles and when I come back the match is over, it's either them getting steamrolled or I find myself in the middle of the map with no friendly in sight and 7 or more dudes all railing my ass, both are equally unfun.
Gameplay pains. I can never get a proper flank, there's always some mfs going my way and slam me down before I get to the battle. If I come face to face with a radar missiles slinger I'm most likely dead, I can't notch properly very often I just cant multipath quickly enough or I try to and slam into the ground. IRCCM missiles are just unfair theres no worse feeling than going into a headon knowing my missile will get flaired away and theirs will track perfectly straight into my dome or at least be very hard to evade, I have dodged my fair share of magic 2s and PL-5EIIs but never AAM-3s or R-73. AIM-9Ls are just R-60M turbo pro max they get one flaired and tend to track random shit. "Oh oH jUsT Use gUNs" except I never have the chance to I always have to rely on missiles cuz I have to constantly fight and defend against thair radar missiles at the same time, if I commit to a gun fight I get third partied instantly, the one time I got a clean 1v1 I did win and it was the only kill I got that match.
Fucking annoying enemies:
- premium Su-30s, this one should have been all fox 3 carriers but these 2 mfs especially they suck me up to 13.3 every game along with other ARH slingers on top of radar missiles themselves being annoying as fuck in general it's not even fair.
- hell anything with radar missiles, especially R-27ER and AIM-7P, breaking lock is just not enough against these mfs.
- F-2A ADTW, someone please tell me how to flare those AAM-3s.
Honourable mention: JH-7A (prototype or not), not that annoying but I see like 8 of them every match and get killed by them occasionally plus it's always the Chinese usernames.
There's no reason to play shit like this, this thing, the event dutch thing. At least the Belgian OCU gets AIM-9Ms and Magic 2s. Within the US tree itself it is almost worthless beside from ground RB CAS as it gets Mavs. The F/A-18A at the same BR is leagues ahead of this thing, the F-15A at 12.7 is straight up busted as shit.
There's no good way to save this thing other than decompression which judging by gaijins current behaviour, won't happen any time soon. They could give it the OCU treatment with 9Ms and move it to 12.7 but that would change nothing and fuck it even more with the terrible match making, bringing it down to 12.0 wouldn't make sense cuz in no world should any 11.0 face an F-16 of any kind.
As much of a F-16 fan I am, I hate it, I am done with this plane. I will stop spading it and will never touch it again until the snail unfuck this BR range and give all the planes within the 12.0-12.7 range a reason to be played, and I think you should too.
Call me skill issue all you want, this thing is trash as it is and you cannot change my mind
Idk everyone sees me I have to hide behind mountains I cant constest without radar missiles I am constantly defensive when I get to the dogfight the plane pulls so hard I G instantly 9Ls are less reliable than Mavericks and I get third partied every single time.
I know my stats in the F-15A is not good either but this is just abysmal stuff might be the worst 1M SL I have ever spent either that or I genuinely have the skill of the average senrai maiden pack user
Fat cheeks (armour), fat cannon, fat engine, fat weakspot, fat roof elements, fat ammo rack, fat smoke launchers, fat commander cupola, fat crews, fatass (engine deck), mobility of a fat dude and later on next update, fat anti-ERA APFSDS round. But hey 5 sec reload on a hard hitting 120 tho
