Been spading the Javelin today while researching Hawk 200s, and I seem to be getting a lot more kills with them than when I first got the Javelin, and they seem better than say AIM-9Bs at similar BRs

ngl bmpt is very average as far as survivability goes, most likely a merkava mk4 beats it over the head.
Slow as shit, atrocious weaponry for the br, you can do the same amount of damage with a bmd4 or even more with a bmp2m and both give you a ticket to cas.
I suppose its only saving grace is that the average shitter versing another average shitter will have a better chance of surviving and scoring a kill thanks to its autocannon and armor letting said autocannon spray for days

>>563679305
>Best engines
Orenda 14s on the Canadair Sabre Mk.6 were more or less the same as Avon 26s on the CAC Sabre Mk.32s
The Canadair plane had better performance by nature of being lighter, but 30mms on a Sabre would be fun.
Ideally the Bong tree would get a Mk.4 (actually used by Britain), a Canadian Mk.6 (premium maybe), and an Aussie Mk.32

Japs can also get Avon Sabres through Indonesia and Malaysia. So I can definitely see them being added at some point

War Bonds carry over, they're regulated by the 3.6k limit. The old shop is available for another week into a new season.

>>563682696
You keep warbonds. limit is always 3600 but you can just hold off accepting new ones - shop levels unlock regardless
New BP starts immediately (12:00 UTC on 22nd April IIRC) so you ear levels in the new BP and not the old one. But the old warbond shop runs parallel to the old one for like a week

Finally taking my R2Y2's into battles and holy shit they are really good. After playing 262's with the shit 108's and g.91's with .50's for a while it's really nice to just tear the shit out of planes with 30mm's that don't need a ton of leading to use. Extremely generous 600 round ammo count too. I was worried about the BR but it's very manageable.

I want to thank the anon last thread who explained the F4's radar to me. I got into a 1v1 with a F4C in my mig21 and I just turned a flew away from him while pulling maneuvers. He fired all of his AIM7s at me and they lost lock almost as soon as they left the rail. Made it a lot easier

not really, 5.3 and 5.7 are br black holes already so you should have gotten used to constant uptiers. in fact, brits are probably one of the better nations to do this with because of their ammo with good pen and shit post pen. learn ammo placements and you'll be able to dumpster most nations, especially the krauts.

Britain has no real good 6.0-7.3 lineups so you're better off to play 5.3 unless you want to bash a lineup together with 7.0+6.7 so you get the railgun Conway and the ratels until you get to 7.7. Don't bother with the HESH garbage as it will not work 75% of the time when it should and the charioteer is not worth the jump to 6.3 by itself. Stick to your challenger and comet as they still are competitive with their guns and mobility and if you have it the tog or qf ram if you need more reliable full AP rounds with high pen.

6.7 is pretty solid if you have the Cent Mk.2

Hello, retard newbie here. Very retarded question. Please kill me if too retarded for thread.

How do I do better-ish above rank 6 in Air RB?

I hadn't read the OP links yet but I've been through rank 1 to rank 7 in Air RB- I wouldn't say I am good at it but I had a solid grasp until rank 5. F86F40 of the Japan tree is my last well performing aircraft and it's all downhill from there.

Please, please teach me how to fly beyond that. I just want to fly the F15 so bad. I've tried sideclimbing, I've tried separating from my team and sticking with my team, I've tried doing dogfights I've tried not doing it, I've tried most of the flying styles in my arsenal but rank 6's F104J, T2, F1, rank 7's F4EJ, F5A, everything is just not flying right for me.

It feels like wearing a glove that is too big for my hands. It feels like trying to solder or repair a circuit board with those gloves on. The F4EJ flies and turns pretty well above 700-800kmh range and the F5A is pretty manueverable but I just cannot get any kills. Is it my skills? I have a pretty good KD in my F86F40, I can hold my own in a dogfight, is it something I did wrong? Is it my tactics? But I've tried everything. Please.

Please please please I just wanna get better at above BR9. I just want to get good enough that I can one day be able to fly the F15. Please impart some wisdom into my retarded little brainlet fat matter thing that still can't get this right. I CAN do well in Air AB but I cannot stand the progression.

Pic for attention. Please help a retard out.

Just to add to my retarded little post,

I know how to notch. I know how to press C. I know how to read radar. I know that at my rank there is no functional RWR.

I know dogfight geometry and my game at it is good enough. I know how to read aircraft characteristics but I struggle to translate numerical data into intuition. I know flying high and fast is always good but I always get 5 way fucked by other radar missiles.

My F4EJ is fresh bone stock with only the compressor purchased and are researching the new boosters. It does not have radar missiles, only a pair of AIM-9Es.

>>563732719
I know how a missile works, I've read and watched relevant documents. It isn't that I can't figure out how it works, it's just I can never catch a break in a non 1v1 scenario (and even then it'll be a teammate that comes along and claim the kill, me getting nothing.)

I know how a radar works and how to read it, though I have trouble turning data into intuition, but I know how it works roughly. I've done radar training in my F1 and T2.

I know how a radar missile works, how notching works, how multipathing works, how to counter it by firing a counterattack radar missile to prevent the sender from zeroing me in all the time and how to pre-chaff and even how to not fly in a straight line right after chaffing.

I just have innate difficulty at succeeding in a match. Is it because I am in the east asia server?

My only and most successful aircraft is the F86F40 and I can only do about as good as screenshot attached once every few days or so. Any aircraft beyond that is just endless suffering for me, even if I had spaded my F5A it's still struggling to fight in a match and/or struggling to produce any significant stable and positive performance.

>>563735083
my goal was the F15J, the F2A and the Gripen. All in all I thought the tree was decent for all the aircraft I wanna fly, but I am near the early jet in American tree and also progressing through Russian, German, and French trees slowly when I felt like it.

>>563734868
If I am to buy a premium aircraft I woulda just went for the premium F2A, either that or invest into the chink tree. But I am broke as hell.

I'm not going to lie, you may have chosen the worst tree to learn this stuff on
>F104J
Absolute suffer bus. You get no flares at 10.3 and no maneuverability to defeat the missiles other ways. The F104s other than the A variant can be rough but the J is in a league of its own
>T2
Probably the most decent plane at this rank for Japan but it's strange. Supersonic with 9Ps but no flares. You have to get creative. Many players use the rocket pods on it as Ersatz flares. That might help
>F1
Same thing as the T2 but higher BR
>F4EJ
The F4s stock are just terrible. Probably some of the worst stock syndrome I've seen in planes. They'll be bad until you have them most of the way spaded. Probably one of the only instances where I would say base bombing is warranted
>F5A
All around good plane and honestly ntb to learn on. The F5C is many wallet warrior's first experience with jet gameplay after all. Its engines are pretty weak and the airframe needs speed to do well. You can take turn fights if you're 1v1 but if you spend too long in it and there are other enemies around, you'll get your cheeks clapped fast since the F5 takes a bit to get up to speed
I respect you playing a tree you like though and not resorting to premium planes right away
I hope I've helped a little

>>563732447
Around BR7 is when fights really start pushing towards longer ranged "missile thunder" as planes gain access to all aspect IR missiles and look-down radars that make it practical to use SARHs at low altitudes.

Planes like the F-4EJ are in a bit of a sour spot since it doesn't have access to pulse doppler radar, and it has rear aspect fox 2s. I sort of skipped over this phase with the US and USSR trees by paypigging for the F-4S and Mig-23ML and then learning air combat with their look-down radars and fox2s.

I hate to say it, but the path of least resistance might be to just buckle down and use F4EJ as a base bomber in air RB until you unlock something with a pulse doppler radar. To thwart enemy radar missiles during your approach, start learning the habit to "multipath". Enable your radar altimeter in the settings and configure it so that it turns red at 50m. The effect technically starts at 60m, but it doesn't get good until around 50m. You're looking to thread the needle between ~30-50m altitude. At this altitude your reflection basically causes radar guided missiles to see a point a dozen or so meters below your plane, which can be enough to defeat radar guided missiles from many angles of attack. You might also want to learn how to "pre-flare". By preemptively dispensing ~1-2 flares immediately prior to when an opponent is about to enter optimal fox-2 range, you can spoil their attempts to get a lock and deny them their window to shoot.

After dropping your bombs, try to just yeet your AIM-9Ps at whatever you can. Don't put much faith in them. If they get a kill, great. If not, too bad. If you can find an opponent that doesn't have flares then you can fuck them up, but they're all probably already dead. If you see an opponent climb, then try to get a radar lock for the sparrows with radar in ACM mode. The ground really can't be anywhere close to your sight picture though.

>>563738326
thank you. So my theory had been mostly correct- F4EJ is just plain insufferable until upgraded, and I gotta really nitpick my engagement until one of two things happen:

I get lucky, or I eventually get good enough to 1v2 and not get killed. Perhaps it'll be a good idea to go back to T2/F1 because I'm tired of using my F86 for SL grinds.

Thank you.

>>563738670
Winning 1v2s is about game sense and your opponents being retarded desu
I usually just don't take 1v2s if I'm in an aircraft that can run. If the players you are 1v2ing have a couple of brain cells between them, they can easily stagger their runs at you so you don't have an opportunity to get a firing solution unless you spread your ass to the other guy to do so
And it's not about YOUR personal skill. Unless you are in some sort of good plane, they have to make a mistake

>>563738659

Very practical advices, thank you. I do defeat radar missiles normally but I can't when I am out in the open and when chaff hasn't been unlocked (lol). Base bombing is indeed one of the more useful thing this plane can do but however, rushing bases are plenty dangerous and I think the extra weight make fighting against other planes impractical carrying it.

I'll try my best to carry on, though. I think I'm more grasping for camaraderie than anything, but also genuinely baffled by just how bad I perform when I was doing decent in 9.0.

>>563739319
Make sense, but my toxic trait is that I think I am good enough to take on 1v2s all the time. At BR 11 I don't think running would be much help without terrains desu...

imagine if the f-6c had pl-5 instead of 9p

>>563739547
>At BR 11 I don't think running would be much help without terrains desu
Well the nice thing at 11.0 is most of the IR missiles you see will not have IRCM so they can be easily flared and the radars you see are usually pretty trash
Flying away from an F4 can in many cases be enough to break its lock
Or at least make the missile go dumb
So running is still possible
I would still play the F4 close to teammates though

It would make the most sense to add south Korean vehicles to the Japanese tree but gaijin would never do that and have probably waited this long to add Korea because of the absolute rage Koreans would have if their vehicles were added to the Japanese tree
And a separate tech tree for Korean vehicles would be dumb

>>563740393
korea for italy when?

>>563739547
You shouldn't make any attempts at all attack other planes while carrying the bombs. At most you can attempt to get a fox2 lock in a head-to-head as you fly past. This will be unlikely since your sidewinders have rear aspect seekers, but if the opponent is exceptionally hot then it's not impossible to get front aspect IR locks at close ranges with rear aspect seekers.

I also agree with anon that 1v2ing people isn't a practical metric. If the opponents are competent, then 1v2 is the kind of situation where ground attackers can emerge victorious over a fighter.

>>563739831
>Well the nice thing at 11.0 is most of the IR missiles you see will not have IRCM
You're probably aware of it since you said "most" and not all, but to spell it out for jap anon: Some of the modern ground attackers like the A-10C, Su-25T, and Su-39 have access to advanced IR missiles with infrared counter-countermeasures. Do not carelessly approach them. The russian R-73 is close to unflareable once it gets within ~1km of you, and the american AIM-9M requires an abundance of flares to reliably defeat and the F-4 doesn't carry many countermeasures.

>>563741183
Every nation other than the US and Russia need foreign vehicles to pad them out especially in the Cold war and modern tiers
Japan is just an extra special case of having a ton of WW2 planes to warrant a separate tree but nothing in the jet age

Am I suppose to stay with the furball in top tier ARB or what?

>>563741610
Ideally you want to be the last guy to enter the furball.

>>563741610
You want to be the guy above the furball who drops fox3s on peoples heads. Preferably just prior to the furball forming to so that teammates aren't within the danger zone.

>>563741708
I see...

>>563741937
What if my fox3s have a shorter launch range than their fox3s

>>563742294
If they were leveraging their superior range, they wouldn't be on the deck and approaching a furball. Those niggers on the deck aren't looking up much and they probably have their radars set to ACM mode. Your missiles should be in the air a few seconds before they get close enough for your nametag to appear.
