3 Ways to NOT SUCK at Top Tier Jets

[@Jaeger_89]

My biggest gripe with top tier is the excessive amount of players with too many powerful weapons. That makes matches end very quickly for one side or the other. It's very rare to get those moments in which you get to actually experience your plane's performance. We are flying very advanced aircraft in top tier and we rarely get to use them. Slinging missiles around is the same since the first Aim-9B, just with more flexibility. Actually dogfighting on a top tier jet is a whole different world from a 7.0 jet. Top tier should be 6v6 or 8v8. 16v16 works much better with props or earlier jets...

I miss the days of F86 vs Mig 15 gun dogfights, I remember entire teams all low to the deck and once hitting 1000km/h we all just zoomed straight up for altitude. It felt meaningful to get a kill and so rewarding outplaying. but now its just lock missle send missle lol free kill

Damn this was 100 percent straightforward and useful, when i first got top tier I assumed it was just slinging missles at people and instantly getting kills but after playing a bit i realized it takes a lot more know-how than i thought.

[@tino897]

Theoretically it is just that. Problem is you need to learn how evade said missiles and that the enemy does know how to evade. Early radar missiles and mid ones are kinda iffy if the enemy isn’t stupid. Late ones ? Well then there isn’t much. Like you said there is a lot to learn but not too far off. Major is how to survive, the rest is gonna come naturally

Tips for premiums: Tip for F4S players: The plane is great, you are not Don't bomb. U will only bomb on stock grind If you really want to, ccrp bomb toss but still wouldn't recommend Its best to learn combat Low fly and pop sparrows off bore at phantoms and tornados Learn the radar Tips for Mig23ML: Fly low Use the r24T on enemies within 5km. Thats the best time. 4km if they are going away from you but always make sure u are gaining on them in that scenario. Use IRST Su39+A6: Shouldn't have bought it

[@finnm.2582]

I disagree on the SU-39 and A6, they are very useful in Ground RB. The Vichr ATGMs shred everything and the Mercury Pod is one of the best pods in game. The A-6 can also unleash havoc with laser guided bombs but not as good as the SU-39. I have the SU-39 in my ground RB 11.7 Deck as the only plane and I really don’t want to miss it.

Gaijin needs to remake top tier jet game layouts. Bigger maps, spread out objectives, multiple spawn points and different areas where the two teams merge. Make it more similar to Sim battles with realistic countries and slightly shorter ferry times. Having 40 planes go to the same spot makes the game a very unrealistic experience.

[@MatthewTheCount]

tf u mean bigger maps they have already made maps bigger and the only thing making maps bigger is gonna do is prolong the furbal please dont sugjest this dont give them ideas

One more tip how to dodge radar missles you need constantly turn left-right for like 15 degrees on each side, radar missile will change its direction and be a lot slower, so you can dodge it

[@gendarmerielosblancos4395]

Turning like that will also slow you down which makes you an easier target for the missile

[@theapexdragon5010]

​@@gendarmerielosblancos4395the middle slows down a lot more than you do so it's a balancing act.

[@ayanamikai]

@@gendarmerielosblancos4395 missiles launched on high range, both ARH and SARH would really be countered well by moving in "snake" pattern. if anything, while the plane has no trouble sustaining its own energy since it has a lot of fuel unlike 3-5seconds of booster burn on missiles, missile has it very strictly limited. and by making it adjust the trajectory all the time you just make it lose all the speed and be incapable of hitting you.

[@pengudengu5947]

[@ab123110]

One thing I would like to add for new players is that at low altitude you should be using DP on your radar. There is more nuance than that vs the other modes but that should help out a lot. When I first started playing high tier I had no idea what those modes ment and how to use them. I found it very hard to get a radar lock. Now that I know what they do my 0 kills turn into 1-2, sometimes XD EDIT: Keybinds I find better Lock target = R WASD = Movement (inverted pitch) Shift\CTRL = Throttle Scroll = Fine-tune throttle

[@BlockyRaptor]

Been taking a break from top tier, legit forgot this game can be fun

[@Supershade9421]

Real. I usually take out the p51 and try to dogfight with it. That thing will do anything if you treat it right.

[@cannedgoose3259]

If I may add a point: Know OTHER planes as well. Know what missiles they have, know what their ranges are, what their G-limits are. Learn how far away they can spot/track you, learn how many missiles they can carry and how many rounds they have in the gun. If you can use that knowledge in a fight, you can make them waste their ammo by outflying and outgunning them.

Biggest tip I can give for your guns is just play Realistic no vertical targeting and when diving on someone or lining a shot up look at their plane the whole time don’t take your eyes off and only use your peripheral to match your crosshair in the direction of your target and let just a few rounds off as you pass each other I get more kills with my guns in any jet also don’t do head ons if you do just burst and move right away

[@remcodevries536]

i'd also say that when you reach 11.0 know where most planes go on the maps, you then can anticipate where they'll come from

[@silni7]

The reason some people bomb in top tier is to spade the plane, and that is the easiest with bombs. With most planes, you don't start with top tier missiles or have a good flight performance with stock plane to do anything in the game.

[@LastGoatKnight]

Though I'm not in top tier yet, I had the SL to buy myself a Squadron Premium so every help should come handy. Especially that I have no past experience with jets and as a casual F2P player I don't have that much time to spend so I can tap into the top of the iceberg. I will have to tune my senses to this new platform but during numerous test flights I have the basics already😅

[@kingghidorah8106]

for r60M you have to go away when you see something with those missiles, and if they launched a missile at you, ensure it's 2.5km away or more and start zig zagging. For aim9L there's no chance at all unless they launch it from side aspect and below 1km of distance. Same for R60M, you have to force a side aspect (diagonal at best) shot on head on and turn into the enemy that launched it without going into their guns.

[@dorukartan7588]

@@kingghidorah8106 i dodged a 9L with mig-19S from rear aspect its generally unlikely tho but i cut the afterburner and pulled full elevator at all time and mig-19 can reteain energy so well i was pulling 13g while going 950km/h IAS constantly pilot blacked out but i dodged it barely then i killed that A-10

I cant be the only one that would greatly enjoy a separate mode that only allows bombs and rockets to be brought. Requiring the use of gunskill for Air to air. So many cool jets to dogfight in but youre rarely gunfighting.

[@lookitsstalking87]

One thing that I would like to add, its okay to bomb in TT if youre grinding for missiles. In the instance of my Su-27 having only 2 R-73 (which are considered the best ir missiles in the game, and oh boy they are its just not enough) as soon as you get your first Radar missiles like the R-27R or ET's then help your team. I see that many people understand the need to grind to be competetive. But once you are and you have the chance to be then help your team. P.S. Its also a lot more fun to go PVP then to attack and bomb bases all the time. Its a pain in the ass to learn it but its so fun once you do

[@sandrales98]

the way i grinded the usa tree and its imo a very good way is to take 5 rocket pods and 5 aim 7f and 2 aim 9h on the f4s then flay low and as fast as possible to the next base bomb it and right after turn around and act like a normal fighter... for just bombing bases you get 4-6k research with the jet and premium time and if you then get a couple kills and win the game it quickly gets 20k to even sometimes 30k research in 1 game and that makes the grinding pretty quickly and okay

[@thomasjohnson8121]

The reason that radar missles crash into the ground is that they try to compensate for the target turning by cutting through your turning curve so if you angle down a bit when one is flying at you, you can make it overcompensate and fly into the ground.

[@SenratoUmi]

thats not what happens, when near the ground the ground acts like a mirror and makes the radar think you are lower than you actually are, in turn the missile tries going after that false target and hits the ground.

[@Panocek]

Phoenixes are still vulnerable to multipath propagation. Difference being, 50kg warhead have pretty big proximity fuse attached to it, thus AoE is significant. That and missile usually comes from above due to lofting, which makes more likely to meet the airframe. Still, Phoenix is one flying chonker thats easy to dodge and even if motor no longer burns, it has RWR screaming at you attached to it.

[@nokes16]

Bombing a base is fine if you have stock bombs for example on the yak 141. It has 2 r60m which is a pretty terrible missile and is rather take out a base which is usually 2-3 times the research of a kill. Once you unlock good missiles you should never bomb though.

[@Panocek]

@@timharnans Chaff is situational, helps primarily with Search radar modes which are rarely used at top tier, but when notching, it can help with PD radars... sometimes. But fooling radar is one thing, fooling missile with CW seeker is another - these basically look for return from moving object, thats why even if you spoof radar with chaff, if you stay within illuminated area, missile will continue tracking. Easiest way of dealing with SARH missiles is, as mentioned, flying very low. But obviously, if enemy does that to you, that throws single advantage of F4J/S out the window - radar and radar guided missile, whats left are underwhelming IR missiles and airframe that can't dogfight.

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️I tend to stay away from top tier (skill related reasoning ) but I am I’m one of those dorks who goes full tilt at the base Rollin 1,000-2,000ft like a freight train, although I like to come in at a angle and way out on the edges of the map almost thinking I’m sneakier then shit , however I am now learning that just maaaaayy not be the best route to take after watching this 😂😂

Can someone pls tell me whats the best radar mode for the R27R (not R27ER) missiles on a mig29. Also for how long do i have to mainatain lock on the opp jet for it to hit?

[@Tacom01]

You need to keep the lock until it hits

Thought side winders pinged radar, thanks

I do not like the F-4s. Their energy retention means they can only boom and zoom. While the radar on the later ones are good enough once you are out of missiles I find it hard to get a gun kill because the plane can only do one rotation before losing all of its energy. That is why a lot of people prefer to bomb with it first. Shame on those F-16s and Mig-29s that are still bombing. You got the plane, now you get to have 'fun'.

I'm just having a horrible time playing the F-4EJ Kai just because it doesn't have the things in front of its wings and it's heavy as shit so the acceleration at the tier is one of the worst even spaded

[@Thevegetableslayer]

Leading edge slats for better aoa, it’s one of, if not the worst phantom in the game

[@Thevegetableslayer]

Scratch that^, it has the best radar, great missiles, but no slats and 11.7 br which means you’ll always get f14 and f16s

[@quality9299]

@@ThevegetableslayerF4EJ is probably the worse phantom Infront of the F-4F

[@Panocek]

EJ or ER Kai? Former is underwhelming even by 11.0 standards, 11.7 is carried by radar set from F-16 (which isn't that hot tbh) and 4x 9L on board. Sure, after the merge flight performance will bite you back, but before that, it doesn't really matter if its Phantom, F-14 or F-16 - Sparrow is still heading your way.
