Re: Jets Have Balance Issues
@MZMX7I have Tier 1 (Mastery 40 I guess?) for both jets at this point and your points are mostly accurate across the entire jet experience at all skill levels. I will comment below:
1. Yes, the cannons are not well aligned to the reticle and they have a large spread, which naturally increases at range. This behavior can be learned, however it does make them much harder to use on ground targets, especially infantry (which I am fine with).
2. The AGMs used to function well, but they are currently bugged since the latest update. Overall, they definitely expand your target selection and I would consider them the current "meta" loadout. I like the AMRAAM missile option and think it provides a good option for dealing with other aircraft. Agreed that we need more options though.
3. Yep, air radar sucks. Either fix it or cut it.
4. I generally agree, but there must be some way to differentiate and create some distinctiveness between these aircraft.
I love the SU-57. It's the better performing aircraft for sure and I eventually learned it was unbeatable in the air if you are maintaining situational awareness. The VTOL on the F-35 is the only means to level the field without making them identical... but it is insufficient. I am not sure what the fix should be here or if there really needs to be a change honestly. If the cannons are changed, then this will need to be revisited for sure...
