TonyStovepipe Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Spoiler I have not done any air to air combat online, only to defend myself in the A10c But looking for something that good at air to air for online, it doesn't have to be the best as I know it's older generation then f18. I also have the viggen but I think that's more air to ground/ship then air to air. Thanks.
=36=Witcher Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 If you're going in a modern scenario, you're only going to lag behind. M2000C is a great dogfighter but only has 2xFox1 and 2xFox2. Against Fox3s it's going to be hard to score a kill unless you learn to sneak behind your enemy and only push when you're supposed to.
Wagner Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 I'just flew a little on BlueFlag Syria (80s). The 2000 is very capable against Fox1/2 US aircraft. Against fox3 it will be difficult when 1vs1. You will have to be smart, use all well know bvr tactics in order to survive, turning away is often the best solution Win10 64 / Intel Core i5-9400F/ 32Go RAM / GeForce GTX 2070s / HOTAS Warthog french speaking here...

TonyStovepipe Posted December 28, 2020 Author Posted December 28, 2020 Thanks I will take another look then at the other planes then, I am a newbie at air to air so don't want to make it harder on myself lol.
Galinette Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 The Mirage is definitely way behind against fox3 aircraft. However, it's super challenging and rewarding. You have to rely on discretion (radar off, low level terrain flying in the mountains), observation (contrail spotting, RWR, AWACS messages) to sneak below ennemy aircraft, fast climb and shoot your missiles from behind/below. And leave the place quickly before another patrol spots you. You won't have a very good kill/death ratio, but that's way more fun than firing fox3 from 40nm.
