F-22

[Ricco]

regarding multiplayer, I just saw someone using an F-22 to rule the skies. How is that possible??? If there are no F-22's in the store??? If this is reality then anyone who has no F-22 has no chance of winning. It's cheating.

Probably mod. Else not possible. If the server allows it, it is not cheat. Many servers don't allow to modify files.

That server allows and runs F22 mod. That means you can fly that mod, if you have it installed, as well.

I need to know what is the best plane in the store to counter an F-22

The F-22 is a user mod based on the best available info, guesswork, and a bit of imagination. So there really isn’t a counter as none of the available modules deal with that generation of fighters.

Think of the official modules as simulating those aircraft as accurately as possible and mods as ranging from accurate to imaginative. The more modern the aircraft, the less accurate they tend to be honestly in terms of mods. The vast majority of DCS aircraft are Cold War era and that’s honestly far more exciting online.

The pilot of this F-22 that I observed stopped on a dime from mach something, floated like a UFO, then shot out multiple missiles which all flew straight to his target and the funny thing is, none of the missiles actually hit the target, they all blew up around the target.

You don't have to use desired server if you are not satisfied with F-22s in it.

Yes and this is why I love the F-22 :)

Find another server as it’s honestly not worth trying to deal with a questionable mod implementation when there are far better experiences out there.

Most AA missiles are designed to explode near the target, rather than hit it.

Regardless, fighting against the F-22 mod with stock modules in PvP doesn't sound like a good time to me. As others have said, just find a different server.

I'll try another server sometime. Still not enough skill to avoid being destroyed too quickly. Need HOTAS joystick so I don't have to keep looking for switches and buttons.

It might be a wise idea to wait on the whole PvP public server thing and give yourself all the time you need to get controls squared away and get comfortable with whatever your preferred aircraft is. Trying to stay alive on a public PvP server while you are still learning is a recipe for needless frustration.

I was thinking I could get practice in avoidance flying and dives into the earth kind of stuff
