Top speed lies

[beanos]

So the F4 apparently has a top speed of 1400mph but has never reached even close to that speed no matter how high i go or how long i dive. A mig19 is always able to catch me and outspeed me in every combat situation. the f100 has the same speed as this thing except for the acceleration. what a shame

A lot of planes can't reach their max speed without diving.

if you have gun pods on its slower man

Are you using IAS or TAS? IAS is a measurement of the volume of air passing over the wings whereas TAS is the true speed your aircraft is going despite the thinner air at high altitude. The stat cards always list TAS for speed, but IAS is more useful for reading your energy state most of the time which is why most people use it.

go to 10000-15000 meters and it will reach mach 2, and the F4 never reached mach 2 at sea level anyway lol

The F4 only goes 1350km/h at sea level, that was specifically mentioned in the dev blog. Jets can go doublesonic at say, 12km, but not even break the sound barrier at sea level.

but they still brake the sound barrier, Mig-21F13 (stock) can go max 1309 and fast that it will rip, F4 atm can only go 1300 then it will go to 1250 ish (stock)

I mean, it also has 2 engines, 1-3 Gatling guns, up to 4 missiles, or a-lot-of-bombs, and a much farther radar range. I am glad to hear this — sounds like the compensating factor.

still ppl are saying the F4 is so bad, but most of the time it is just better than the Mig-21, the 21 bleeds so much speed its not even funny, and the wings brake when you turn at 1100-max speed turn 10-11 G's they will brake, and the F4 is just quicker over all, also the F13 lacks guns and AAM's only 1 gun and 2 AAM's and the F4 pilots still complain that the F13 is op i just dont get it tbh, like oh wow im playing the F13 as a interceptor that is was meant for and you still complain about it lol, its just funny, and the cherry on the cake the F4 has radar

That's the same with the new American jet called the f89-b at see level only goes 550 mph at sea level before It breaks up. Its supposed to get 628mph. But they have a second mig at 13,000ft on the practice map. so I flew up there went to 20,000 feet and came down on It I was going 650+mph so I kind of liked that. But really how many are really going to be that high on the maps In rb nothing really up high and then when you dive below 10,000 feet warning lights come on so you wont kill your self.It does not have any warings at all up high. It does 600mph up high going level above 10,000 feet. Just another Gaijin nerf on American tanks and planes. What a waist...makes me so mad I constantly have to watch my speed so I don't break apart.........This game I cant believe they get away with lies and half lies, but hopefully Gaijin with maybe fix this later.........

I’m sorry, but I do have to give my sarcastic answer.
Boo hoo, that’s so sad. I’m so sorry the F4C only gets superior firepower, mobility, and acceleration as well I believe. It’s an utter shame that it isn’t superior in every aspect like you wanted.

Everything on the stat card should be considered ballpark for realistic performance.
Look at turn time- you have no idea what speed, flap position, and attitude it's timed at.

Well on the deck Its horrible better off with the f-84 at least I can go 606mph on the deck and have two 1000 pound bombs.And my wing tips don't break off even when I baby the plane. Boo hoo Kamikazi..........

since u like sarcasim what like germans and russian and britan planes and tanks thats superior in every aspect so why cant the f4 be suped up we have noting to compete with. all they give americans is nerfs and missing tech and missles that dont work

Not when it comes to taking my money and what i buy under performs as what its supposed to do. Hell for that mater why not just say 700mph but really Its only 440mph.......Thats the way i feel right now...
