Viggen flight-performance even worse after the december patch?

[D4n]

Is it just me, guys, or does the Viggen have a harder time keeping speed when climbing in afterburner, since this patch? Now, Viggen basically is fully unable to escape MiG-21 pilots after a surprising merge (on PvP servers)... Which would make flying Viggens even more useless in PvP now if air-superiority is not achieved...

Please state your experiences during climb and level acceleration at low altitude and at high altitude.

In the december patch the performance was adjusted to more realistic values, as it was overperforming before, especially at high altitudes.

Nothing changed this patch or since then though.

i bought the Viggen the day it  came out and it was a blast for me, the same passion, his brutal force, my fav jet to fly ( i own the 14 too) during all this years. Through the different updates the Viggen became more and more soften.

Despite i love realism, dispite i want realism and i accept what the Viggen is today, i realise that i piloted it on irrealisitc bases ( the basics that made it punchy, brutal and attractive) during all this years...

I accept what it is now, i accept for the realism but he lost the sex appel it had on me before.

Thx you HB for the fun ( flying this wonderfull bird)  you have given me during all the years before the couple of update :I don't fly it often now and i am sad ...

Using this bird for the right job is the best thing you can do.
What I mean is to use it in competetive scenarios and against oponents of its decade.

It is already what i am doing since its release. No air quake, only well timed missions or his campaigns.

If you read me again, it is not about mission success or how it should be used...This i know it perfectly ( i have books, posters even a "wonderfull" pins from the 80's).

I just wrote what i felt. If the FM curves are close to reality now, even if i like realism, i am disappointed with this reality and that i can't help it....I flew this plane for years on a false premise...

A little help in your disappointment:

40 years ago API said that CO2 will not be a problem.
Now, a little bit later, the situation looks "a bit" different ... THAT is a big disappointment.
40 years ago Tabacco industry said that Nicotine doesn't make you addicted to it.
A little bit later the situation looked "a bit" different ... THAT was a big disappointment.

And before anyone starts comparing anything I wrote: I am NOT saying that I think that HB acted like them.
What I want to say is that I think there are much more disappointing things around ...
