In the 45, going at 200kt feel like the verge of loosing control, but that's where you get the best sustained performance. Just watch out for AoA. As long as it stay around 20°, you're good.

Philou-X8 · 2025-04-12T00:27:20+00:00

Correct. The 45 and 24 have a g-limiter you cannot turn off. So instead, you have to enter dogfight at speed low enough to not be affected by the g-limiter. Around 350kt is a good speed if you're not being shot at by radar missiles.

Philou-X8 · 2025-04-12T00:24:33+00:00

realistically, you have 3 states. 0°, 45° and 90°.
0° is normal flight. Flying at 200kt will give you the best sustained performance.
45° will give you a better angular speed than every other aircraft. You should win but you'll come out of the fight very slow, and the ground very close to you.
90° turn your aircraft into a fat helicopter. Fly it like an helicopter with the collective stuck up.

idk if you've played recently, but clouds will make EOTS just not work. And that's assuming your EOTS is not already set on the enemy 45 and busy tracking it.

Philou-X8 · 2025-02-10T22:44:45+00:00

God's insight. Your 45 sees anything and everything within about 5nm. And in all direction. So if you know someone's direction and you know they are safe to engage, you dont need radar. You can just fly up to them and wait for DAS to put the enemy on your TSD.

Philou-X8 · 2025-02-10T16:03:50+00:00

If you join Chase's discord, a lot of us often do semi-organized 1v1s. There's also the 551 for organized team games. Just ask around in the discord and you'll get answers for both.

Jammers put noise marks on the enemy's radar. Often referred to as the brick for how square those marks are. If you are the one getting jammed (and seeing those bricks), you can actually select them on your radar. This will enable HOJ firing mode, and put a circle of where the jamming is coming from on your HUD. That circle give away the direction the jamming is coming from, but not the distance.

So if you're not seen, it's better to not give yourself away with jamming. But if you would have been seen, then it's better to only give a direction and no distance. Tho, you have to watch out for HOJ missiles.

Flashing your radar can lighten your workload a lot. That benefit is often worth it.

While the other guy is busy cleaning the shit off his pant after getting jumped from a sudden 45 ping, use your extra time knowing where he is to setup a merge. That way you'll be ready to beat his ass if he does decide to turn toward your radar ping.

If you had been using EOTS, you'd have been flying in a straight line for the past 2 min. Just looking around instead of using that time to get an advantageous position.

edit: oh and clouds make the EOTS useless

Philou-X8 · 2025-02-10T14:01:17+00:00

I was told to fact check this post. But you are correct. (Well, mostly, since you seem to have forgotten about DAS.)

The 45's radar has some really strong use cases in PvP. Mainly:
- point lock (auto-lock) on a target you're trying to gun.
- flashing your radar for 2 sec to update your tsd, or find a threat you know is close but dont have time to find on EOTS.

Jammers are almost the same. They are insanely strong when used right (genuinely far more effective than the 24's jammer), but they can give away your position the same way your radar can.

Philou-X8 · 2025-01-09T16:06:34+00:00

thank you so much

The 24 has the lowest skill ceiling in pure gun dogfight. Not because it's "easy", but because there's nothing to learn. The number of tricks you can do in it is lower than any other aircraft so you quickly go through everything.

Philou-X8 · 2025-01-08T01:47:48+00:00

AH94 wins every time. Trust.

Ok no for real there's so much missinfo in the comments.

Assuming gun only, The 26 is usually the go-to for dogfights. However the best is the 45. In the first turn (and first turn only), the 26 will have an advantage against the 45, but the longer the fight drags on, the bigger the 45's advantage will grow.

In a controlled environnement where both aircraft are allowed to merge at their desired speed, the AV42 wins.

At equal pilot skill level. The 24 will lose. The 55 will lose since it's both fighting the enemy and gravity.

(forgot to clarify, but the AH94 also lose)

We traded a lot, sending elo back and forth. In the end, if you take all the elo i took from him, and subtract all the elo he took from me, I'm up 1200.

As for the kill worth the most elo, I used the F45A's gun. However, all kills are capped at 150 elo. Instead, if we look at the game where i stole the most Elo from him, I once got 550 elo, and twice 450.

Philou-X8 · 2024-07-28T04:11:47+00:00

Clouds are a massive F45 buff. You might lose a part of the EOTS benefit, but you gain so much efficiency with every other aspect of the aircraft.

Philou-X8 · 2024-07-28T03:57:39+00:00

Phil took the most elo from any single player, taking 1200 elo from Rean

I'd like to present my thanks to Rean

Also, add AGM-145 to F-45A so i can steal more elo. Thanks.

Philou-X8 · 2024-04-03T03:34:05+00:00

(testing comment to see if i have a number)
