2025 Metalstorm Tier List - Air Sup

[@ashesofwar9476]

Thanks Infamous.

[@MS-Infamous]

My pleasure :)

[@darthdavid2275]

Nice list! I agree with it except I’d swap the f15 and su22. F15 has horrible guns and can’t loop a point if needed, its speed only gets it to the point and killed faster when it can’t loop because its low turn speed and horrible energy retention The su22 can go well over 800mph to get to the point and then it can open its wings to dogfight once it arrives. Light fighters are most common for air sup, so 4 rapid fire infrareds with 45 turn rate and a huge lock ring wrecks them. Also people love to ambush by flying behind you to grab the point right after and get you, rear guns fix that quick Also attack planes are common at B, rapid fire rockets usually can trade with them worst case. Also finishing guns work on the rear guns as well, so daredevil and finishing with a skilled pilot would significantly outperform any f15 in air sup any day

Interesting thoughts, though my experience has been that the F-15 does fine circling a point, as long as it's not an F-16 or something similar that's challenging the cap.

[@TheClaptonisgod1]

F-111 is rapid and powerful. Can collect flags in no time, go high, or real low and throw missiles as you collect flags. I've scored well in AS with mine.

[@MS-Infamous]

Awesome, I know that there will be some people who think the F-111 is great, but as I mentioned at the beginning of the video, any of these planes can work. If you can manage to do well in the F-111, then you should be dynamite with the other interceptors. Thx for the comment. o7

[@TheClaptonisgod1]

@MS-Infamous Just played elimination there, F111, go high when dogfights take down numbers, then come in hitting 6 off the bat.

[@TheClaptonisgod1]

@MS-Infamous All about levels buddy, some planes I'm dynamite, then I'll face lvl 100+ guys and I'm toast lol.

[@MS-Infamous]

@@TheClaptonisgod1 Well, as I said, in the lower trophy levels the F-111 is capable, but I have found that players tend to get wise the higher you go and the F-111 just doesn't have the versatility of the other interceptors.

[@TheClaptonisgod1]

@MS-Infamous Absolutely true but it's more than capable as a low level attacker if you can hide in the edges of the maps and come round at speed. Like you say, it's not versatile but from distance is brutal if you can avoid opponents. Did you know, if you point it straight up, wings back and just burn, it'll do over 1000mph and hit 8000m. Only plane I've found capable of that.

[@mechleyman1]

amazing tier list but i think the f5 should be A/S, but im also a f5 glazer

[@MS-Infamous]

Thx, and yeah I can understand the thought behind that. The reason for me why it's not is the plane has a mediocre power to weight for a light fighter. Also, the gun is a little mid IMO. Thx for the input and for watching. o7

[@danielthompson3071]

Question for you sir, are you in the legion clan by chance?

[@MS-Infamous]

Indeed I am.

[@danielthompson3071]

@ awesome. I played a match with you Wednesday about 1:50 am est. you were in the j20 I was in the jaguar. I wanted to share the screenshot on here but I don't think you can. I watch you and a couple others from legion on here. Big fan. Keep it up

[@Blackmongoose-WOH]

Jaguar GR3 is dead now. Is DEAD man and cant do shit... it goes down with the f111 category. I know the video is at level 8 without mods. But the F5 at 20 with daredevil mod at max? On Air Sup its a superior machine to hold a ring. Good video Infamous!

[@MS-Infamous]

True, it can be good hence it's in A. An F-16 can do the same thing but I suggest it can do it even better. Those are still good insights all.

[@TheClaptonisgod1]

@Blackmongoose-WOH Was wondering. As I got the Jag a couple of weeks back after being burned regularly by it. Played it and honestly, prefer my A4. What did they do to ruin it? I was expecting big things.

[@Blackmongoose-WOH]

@ It was too powerful that’s what they said and NERF it. They slowed down the rocket rate of fire more than half way. Maybe around 70% less. Also lowered the number of rockets from 72 to around 50 something. Nowadays? That plane is literally shit. Can’t say good things about it. It was my favorite plane. Fly it now? It’s to suffer.

[@MS-Infamous]

@@TheClaptonisgod1 Blackmongoose is right, they nerfed it a little too hard and never touched the ability.

[@shane35fowler]

SU47 deserves better mid-range radar seekers. Would be A/S then fosho

[@MS-Infamous]

That and they need to remove the trait where your plane "spins out" after getting hit with a missile while turning.

[@Slai47]

@@MS-Infamous I believe your screen should "black out" the harder you turn, especially with the special skill.
