Could someone confirm this for me: Currently the attack jets have a better turn-radius than the F35 & J20 stealth jets when afterburners aren’t needed (I.e. doing loop the loop).
I ask because I used to be a semi-decent pilot on BF3 -I could win in most dogfights (Until I ran into the real pro’s, at which point 9 times out of 10 I died lol)…
… but here? I m currently only playing as a Stealth Pilot (since I love air to air combat) and more often than not I m getting my ass handed to me - not by other stealth pilots, but by attack jets (Getting outmaneuvered by a frigging A10!!!).
My cannons also seem to be utterly ineffective… I ve resorted to doing sweeping attacks with passive-missiles fired at almost point-blank range, followed by me looping around and praying I can finish them off, or otherwise reacquire laser-lock for my missiles…
If stealth jets really are this bad: I m actually kinda happy since it means I m not as terrible a pilot as I was beginning to think I am
I do, however, think they should be dominating the air war, while the attack jets are better against ground targets.
Anyway… guess I ll go back and put my new found knowledge (That attack jets can’t afterburn) to use (I guess i m going to have to get better at doing loop the loop against attack jets on my tail :D)
Stealth jets are currently underpowered as hell. J-20 and F-35 only go to about 8-9 G’s MAX while the Su-50 can go to an absurd 15G’s. All attack jets have been confirmed to achieve 9-11.9G’s. Therefor they will outmaneuver Stealth unless you’re in the Su-50.
Look how well that worked in bf2. 35/18 lost everytime. If they cant nail the balance what quite frankly i doubt they can, it wont work like this.
They just need to be identical so skill matters.
What comes to attack jets i tend to agree with the teamwork part here that attack should loose nearly in all cases to stealth jets to actually promote its role in the game.
It will the F-35 has Hover Mode(Which is a Disadvantage) while the F-22 Doesn’t the Raptor Aligns its capabilities with the Su-50 in almost every possible way that is why we need the F-22 it will balance out the jets and also Dice needs to either Increase the maneuverability of the J-20 or add a new Jet J-31(This one has better maneuverability of course) I wish they would do this on BF4’s DLC’s.
all of this i only played jets for alittle so far in BF4 i just got it but its pretty easy to tell how worthless the stealth jets are compared to the attack jets which is just stupid.
This right here is why people are screaming for a buff to the Stealth Jet. They dont understand that the cannons were purposely made weaker on Stealth Jets against Ground Targets.
Why? Because DICE wants Stealth Jets to be Kings of the Air. The Attack Jet is meant to rip ground units a new one. While Stealth Dogfight it out with other Stealths and then clear the air of enemy Attack Jets and Helis.
DICE needs to make sure that Stealth can out run and turn Attack Jets. Attack Jets on the other hand need to remain the way they are.
Stealth do not need anything else added to them. Definitely not an increase to Cannons..If youre trying to kill Vehicles in a single run with a Stealth Jet…Youre doing it wrong.
