I like the F-4s. They’re by no means the best, but I think they’re neat; nice balance between a support plane that can help team mates and a decent dog fighter in the right situation. Kinda feels like the perfect ‘learning top tier’ plane for pilots who wanna sharpen skills

@@bruhdealer3505 Fire them beyond 7km from your target. The 7Fs have a longer burn time than the E2s, but don’t turn as well. So you’ll want to be further from your target, ideally between 7 and 14 km. Frankly they’ll be more useful if you position yourself well before the furball starts. Since you have a PD radar, staying low to the ground should give you a decent advantage. Fire those 7Fs when the enemy is flying towards you. I do this with the F-4J and it works pretty well for me.

[@Sebastian-yl7nq]

[@ODST_Parker]

As someone who's only flown (and finally spaded) the F-104S ASA out of this list, I have to say I'm very torn on its inclusion. On one hand, I've done extremely well with it in some battles, wiping four people within about ten seconds and then supporting my team to victory. On the other, I've been SARH'd into oblivion more times than I can count, I've been tunnel-visioned and obliterated by the entire enemy team, and I've been on the receiving end of more "me against the world" battles than I'd like thanks to shit teams. The F-104S ASA cannot carry battles, it simply cannot. However, it CAN be a lot of fun when your enemies aren't paying enough attention, and you get the rare instance of being able to rack up kill after kill.

[@SeekerHead]

I think 4 9Ls have a massive impact to play for your team, especially considering you almost always fight f-14s. Get behind one and fire a 9L and there’s literally nothing it can do about it. if the match maker wasn’t all f-14s and if 9Ls weren’t so strong, it wouldn’t have made it

[@ODST_Parker]

@@SeekerHead Oh yeah, blind F-14As were Lima bait, and that was fantastic. Problem was, getting on their six and hoping they're blind is not the most reliable strategy. It's my main issue with the F-104S ASA. It's a fantastic plane in top-tier... if your enemies aren't that good. If they are, and especially of your team isn't, it's a nightmare to play.

[@SeekerHead]

it doesn’t really matter if they’re blind or not, if u fire from behind there’s literally nothing left they can do to not die, and the chance of them being able to keep u off of their 6 the entirety of the match without dying to someone else or contributing nothing to their own team is pretty much 0. just a tough time to be an f-14 if there’s an ASA or harrier in the match

[@connorfox1551]

When the ASA was first added I did incredibly well with it, but now I really never do well with it, idk if i've just lost my edge or what but it seems to not be as good as it used to be

[@roadhigher]

@@stefanmichaelsenzegarra5688 F-5E can hold Mach 0.98 without losing speed in a 9G turn, the only other plane that can do anything close to that is the J-7E. In a sustained turn fight the F-5E's energy retention at Mach 0.9 to Mach 1 is bonkers and you can just loop around in circles until the other guy drops down to 500kph and you can dust him from there. What helps a lot is that the vast majority of players at top tier will go full send and just hold down S in a dogfight with zero concern for their airspeed until they realise they're practically falling out of the sky whilst you're still doing Mach 0.9

[@dogechan1439]

I use 4 Phoenix 2 7F and 2 9H loadout, which is USN standard loadout, and manual radar targetting. Avoid dogfight unless its a 1v1. Fox 3 is amazing if you launch it above 5000m and give it long enough distance to accelerate. The secret of this loadout is that once you get rid of all of the Fox 3s (which should be much faster than Fox 1s), you are much lighter than those carrying 4 7F, which I figure constantly surprises enemy trying to dogfight me. Another surprise is the flap, when its slow enough to deploy your combat flap, you can out turn everyone.

[@alexram184]

thanks for this helpful tip

[@collander7766]

I agree with your comments on the Mirage 2000. a 4x R.550 Magic 2 loadout would be great for it. Unfortunately, despite being 30 Gs instead of 25, I still prefer AIM-7Fs over the Super 530Ds. In my experience the 7Fs are actually harder to dodge, because for some reason it feels like the 530Ds overlead really hard sometimes like the AIM-9L used to do. They're great most of the time, but due to the inconsistency I'd rather have AIM-7Fs... or 2x more Magic 2s.

[@vascoiraola5209]

nope

[@TheAmazingCowpig]

Maybe in the meta, but I've found relatively careful shots with the 530D are extremely reliable. The difference I've found with 7Fs is that on most other planes, you just get more of them, so you can afford to miss one or two and still get kills with the rest.

[@collander7766]

[@nicolaspeigne1429]

i don't understand why the 530 are so slow ingame too, i understand higher drag when the motor runs out, but it should be hauling ass as longs as the motor is burning

[@collander7766]

@@nicolaspeigne1429 it definitely gets fast eventually, probably faster than an AIM-7F. But since it’s motor doesn’t last as long, it’s only at a higher speed for a short duration while the AIM-7F continues chugging along at high speed with its sustainer motor

[@greybuckleton]

Haha, that quad kill was awesome!

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

Mirage unfortunately makes sense. The 530D’s are Aim-7M equivalent, but the radar is closer to that of a Hornet than an Eagle (which BTW will be broken when it comes). Very limited in range and capability. As for J-7E it actually IRL in Pakistan was touted as going head to head with Eagles in war games in an ACM scenario. It’ll shine less when everyone gets good IR missiles.

[@davidhume6275]

For the MLD, you can slave your R60s to the IRST, the extra AOA to keep lock inside the gimble limit or just outside of it ;). The SAAB 35XS has the same thing. The RB24Js are absolutely leathal at 3km and if you arent spotted and use just outside the edge of the limit for lead! Ground out most of the tree in a very short amount of time with that one. Not many flares with the trade off of only needing one at a time if you cut your afterburner. This video seems to be Jets you hate lol.

[@ovrwrldkiler]

1-4 I agree with mostly. I would strongly disagree with having the F104 anywhere near a top tier list. If it had a more normal RWR it would be fine, but having to guess where SARH shots are coming from is painful even if 9l's are quite good. I'd give 5th to the f4ej kai(best of the PD phantoms) or mabye the j8b(with pl5's. Radar isnt good enough to justify taking the aspides and only have 2 IR missiles). Both have their own issues but are more reliable, can still mop up lots of kills early match, and have a much better potential to close out games that end up close than the pencil.

[@SPooder838]

Hey seeker, I know you think that the J7E is really good, and I would have to agree, but could you do a dogfight on the channel between it and an F5E just to see how they stack up against each other because I believe the F5E is a top 5 plane

[@thatguynk8044]

I agree that it’s flight performance is near on par with the j7E, it just really lacks in the missile department. The j7E gets 4 pl5s with 30gs of overload whereas the f5 only gets 2 aim9Js with only 20gs of overload

[@pebbles9973]

Way too many people sleep on the J7E and think it's just another MiG-21 until they're absolutely slapped around by it. I've had way too many F-14 players thinking they can just ratefight it like they can with pretty much every other plane.

[@SeekerHead]

the harrier is a subsonic 11.0 that bleeds speed like a delta. It’s solely carried by 9Ls, the flight performance otherwise would never let it be competitive. Somewhat of the same story on the asa, except you know, it actually goes fast

[@CT--Echo-wi3dt]

@@SeekerHead maybe so yes, but the harrier has a lot of charm, it has a great angle of attack, great turnrate with a boost of its vtol abilities. It has 2 great canons, and powerful cas abilities if sb wants to grind other aircrafts out. F104? Its a flying pencil it doesnt have any advantages besides its speed. Playing harrier 7 with lets say aim G would be actually doable and still fun.

From my experience, the MLA beats the J7e in a sustained dogfight by a close margin, the J7e is better in the one circle though and definitely more survivable.

[@SeekerHead]

The MLA wins if it manages to completely deplete the J7s speed. The problem is that when doing that the J7 gets at least 3 shots in before that happens, which is 3 opportunities to win before the MLA can. If the J7 misses or doesn’t take advantage of those chances though, then yeah the MLA will eventually be able to just hold S

[@sadstar3225]

@@SeekerHead Valid point, I am an average player but I had dogfights in a MLA with J7e's taking them two circle and was able to just avoid the guns every time by taking them into spirals and forcing the rate fight, even at low speeds, and was out rating the J7e with wings fully swept forward. I believe the MLA is a superior dogfighter when it comes to two circle rate fighting. Anyway thanks for responding Seeker Head ❤

First of all I use a joystick so getting gun kills with some aircraft is more difficult than using a mouse (a few aircraft flop around like a fish on land) ..and I'm not that good and don't take it too seriously.

[@SeekerHead]

Problem is flight performance wise currently there is nothing that beats the J7 in every way. it’s actually the opposite, the J7 out performs everything but the F-14 in every single metric. The PL5s are also extremely meta missiles imo bc the way u get kills in top tier is people don’t know ur shooting at them. PL5 is a perfect recipe for that, only being beaten out in this regard by the R24T, but u can only carry 2 of those.

"besides the F14 nothing rivals the J-7E's flight performance" Personally in every dogfight i had in my J-7E against any cat, ive yet to lose an actual dogfight, the J-7E often outrates the tomcat easily. (Just an fyi, this is from a sim player's perspective)

Do you like the Bangladesh camo for J7e?

[@SeekerHead]

no, i just regularly use camos that i think are ugly

[@_mr.first_]

Agree with everything except J-7, of course. It doesn’t have good gun and it simply has only 4 missiles, so F-14 definitely beats him in terms of top-1 plane, imo even mirage is better right now than the J-7

[@jacktiscool5206]

In my opinion I would have had the f4e in third

[@Hot_Sky_Astronomy]

F-8C in full-real controls wants to know your location.

[@finnveldman2623]

One plane can consistently murder a j7e in a 1v1 dogfight and that is the italian aerfer ariete and i can say so from personal experience

[@TheDougsSB]

Saying the viggen cannot outdogfight the J7E is not factual, I don't know if I'm fighting a5c players in disguise or I'm a competent pilot, but I've very rarely been out done by any plane at top tier, and this was just in the aj37 which has to carry 1 gunpod on one wing and a flare pod on the other. Had some struggles with mig23 players but never died to them in the 1v1 dogfight and the same goes for the J7E

[@SeekerHead]

anecdotal experience brother. it’s irrelevant

[@TheInvisibleOrange26]

The F-14 I would put at first it does have that flaw whith flares but once you learn to notch IRs while just cutting burner and a few flares it’s pretty damn good

Draken can outturn props so I guess it can outturn also j7e

it loses energy too fast to every be competitive though. its a cool party trick, but not useful in fighting

[@apoleonschneider]

I must be doing something very wrong cause you say that IR missiles are the most important thing right now, while I go out with my f14 and force head-on owning everyone with amazing radar and great aim7-fs. I cant fathom how the IR missiles can win in radar meta. Even from behind the enemy I find the aim7 is a lot more effective than any IR missile. Am I completely lost? Please, throw me some rope on this issue.

Me would be : - F-14 - Mirage 2000c - J-7E - MiG-23 MLD / MLA - J-8B

[@IslandThunder84]

completely ignored the abysmal amount of ammunition in the J-7E's gun

[@SeekerHead]

It’s really not that bad. If you play russian guns (it’s a russian gun) you’re used to low ammo, high damage guns. With experience you can stretch those 60 rounds to 3/5 kills easily, just gonna take some practice

I swear ur going to make me grind China but is it worth it for only that one plane? Is the j8 not relevant?

the J8 is good but it’s just a mig21 with 4 PL5s. i wouldn’t personally grind china just for the j7, mig29 is coming out soon anyway, but if you want go for it
