The problem isn't that it changes automatically, but that it doesn't allow you to keep it in MTI. IRL, the Sapphire radar could override the automatic change of mode and keep itself in MTI. If they're going for "realism", then they should allow us to keep it in MTI mode as long as it's under 1800 AGL. Nerfing a plane like this and asking for such a huge price tag should definitely not be thing.

Even though the nerfs are warranted and historical, there should at least be some compensation. These planes cost $70 and shit like the F-20A is still missing basic shit like its Zuni rockets, the F-4S (isnt great anyway) has purposely shit belts and a sub-par missile set for what it is expected to fight, the A-6E is outright unusable because paveway II bombs and even the new AGM-123 dont function properly because they dont glide like they do IRL and they dont target properly either; and this has been the case for years for some of these planes. I've actually reported multiple times the issue with Paveway IIs and they keep labeling it as "not a bug" despite the very simple and thorough evidence i provide. They literally model the Paveway IIs like normal low drag dumb bombs and thats not how they should be at all.

No joke I played 20 matches and 16 of them were uptiers in which my team was rocked by AIM-9Ms and the BS splash damage from AIM-54s that missed but hit the ground near you critically damaging the airframe, which on a very maneuverable jet like this is very detrimental.

All radar missiles have a 5 second prox arming time (to my understanding). Hitting people like that most of the time means the missile hit directly which can be done rather consistently if you line the shot up properly so it doesn't have to pull too much. This is why Sparrows end up failing to hit targets in close in shots even if it looked like it got close or it should've hit: Prox wasn't armed yet. Same case with the ER though it's not as frequent since it can pull way harder to directly hit while keeping its energy pretty well cuz of how strong its booster is. Basically, if you're firing up close you have to try to set the missile up to the best of your ability

as a avid mig-23MLA, MLD and ML player, the Mig-23 flight model nerf did hit it pretty hard, however it is still good enough to defeat most aircrafts, it definitely was nerfed pretty hard, originally being able to pull up to 11gs at time, you will still defeat (most) aircrafts at your BR. I’ll add, pre-nerf, if you were experienced you were able to even give the f-14 a fight, now the f-14 if flown right will absolutely eat you alive. Besides that, i’d give it a 6/10, it will still grind pretty well.

Alright at front and side aspect if target doesn't flare dumped. 24Ts added benefit of not having to radar lock to fire, BUT the IR target mode lock helps you not teamkill with it if there is a friendly between you and the target, or get a further front aspect lock and shot. Took about a day to get the hang of but now i'm getting 2 and 3 kills a game. Feels nice to take down a F14, F15 >:)

But whenever the radar isn't being picky, it's missiles and loadouts are amazing, along side the high speed AOA. Though having a lot of AOA at high speeds on uneven land trying to avoid SARH and ARM at just the right alt to not get hit or splashed by scrapnel from the ground is annoying difficult ever since multipath nerf. And honestly with how picky the radar is, the HMD mode makes it more annoying because whenever you finally do get a lock, you accidently unlock since you've been spamming so long, Ij just try to stick to ACM mode and hope the radar doesn't default to HMD mode.

😱 0:36 (i am famous 😎) No but seriously for me the biggest change (I played the MLD not ML) is for sure MTI, as search radar is just useless, one chaff and its gone, but MTI keeps track through all chaff (unless multipathing) and I honestly don't feel dogfight capabilities are too important for the mig23s I did win a dogfight against a F14 (with a stock MLD) so I think it's mostly the MTI change most people are angry about as again, dogfight heavily depends on the enemy's skill (mostly) and dogfight tend to happen rarely, or the dogfight rarely finishes without someone shooting a missile from far away hitting you mid dogfight. (Which I have done many times towards end game, seeing my teammate dogfight the last enemy plane you just fire a missile and they will very often be too occupied and won't see it)
@SeekerHeadАй бұрын
5:03. Radars with CW guidance have chaff filters. Even if the radar appears to be locked onto chaff (post-launch), just leave it and wait to see if the missile hits, often times it will if the target isn’t close to notching

@SeekerHead Okay so I did some testing with search mode, and I have to be honest and say my R24R performed way worse without MTI, I don't know if it were bad scenarios, but it lost track way easier to chaff, only times it were reliable were rear aspects from less than 2km. Only thing that was similar with MTI were headons, but I had big problems from side to 45 degree aspect launches, something I never have with MTI and that the missile has always hit with MTI not even reacting to chaff (just the visual radar lock) you have had anything similar happen or? All of this was with the mig23mld by the way🤔🤔🤔

@mangosuppe8706Ай бұрын
@wasntprepared well your main problem is your radar/rwr difference from MLD you have the spo10, I have the spo15 which means that you dont get launch/radar warnings and dont get much information from radar pings, what I usually do is mainly use r60ms first/offensively as every single radar missile except for the supers WILL BEAT YOUR MISSILE, they pull more, are slightly quicker and they usually have 4 or more. What I do is always follow my team at the start of the match usually a flank, if I get a launch warning I notch/counter it by going even further left making sure I dont enter a possibke furball, then I dive in later and try to launch r60ms at people side aspect, rarely head ons. Then I never take radar missile duels as at best you will trade. I uaually use the r24r on people that already are in a dogfight or is flying AWAY from me, as mti is a bitch in rear aspect (bitch in a good way ofc)

I think buying a premium is the problem. Everyone knows Gaijin nerfs them one month after sale, and you never get whats advertised, you end up bullying all the non premiums and it's basically either a speed bomber or a no skill free kill machine. If you want to buy normal planes, i think that's fine, but premiums are either garbage or unfair to everyone else playing or paying normally.

Even though the nerfs are warranted and historical, there should at least be some compensation. These planes cost $70 and shit like the F-20A is still missing basic shit like its Zuni rockets, the F-4S (isnt great anyway) has purposely shit belts and a sub-par missile set for what it is expected to fight, the A-6E is outright unusable because paveway II bombs and even the new AGM-123 dont function properly because they dont glide like they do IRL and they dont target properly either; and this has been the case for years for some of these planes. I've actually reported multiple times the issue with Paveway IIs and they keep labeling it as "not a bug" despite the very simple and thorough evidence i provide. They literally model the Paveway IIs like normal low drag dumb bombs and thats not how they should be at all. Planes let alone any vehicle, should not be releasing in an incomplete or literally broken state for $70 at all. The only time something releasing incomplete should be ok is if its something that hasnt been released for anything else yet either. They also shouldnt become and remain in a broken borderline unusable state for years after an issue has broken them for 70 fucking dollars (A-6E issue).
