Am I the only one that thinks the balance in air to air combat in BF2 is totally one sided? Especially with the Chinese J10. It seems like DICE doesn't like US aircraft or something, because it seems almost impossible to achieve air superiority against the Chinese. The F35B is like a flying winnebago, it turns like a steam ship compard to the J10. The F/A 18 has a chance but is still no match in manuevaribility. The J10 seems to dodge missles like a ninja as well, so the only way to kill it is to not be seen at all and fire your machineguns.
I jumped in the J10 myself and I was *completely* untouchable. Any competent pilot in a J10 can take down an ace in a F35B. My friend and I were laughing how easy it was to get kills, missles seem to never miss. The previous map I was flying the F35B and I could only kill one J10, they just totally outmanuever other jets.
I've been playing flight sims forever and I consider myself very good, but when I play BF2(yeah I know, not really comparable to a simulation) its just rediculous.
I don't want to hear "A great pilot can overcome this" bullcrap. There is no excuse for just bad balancing. The J10 is a better aircraft period, up to the point where some guy who is decent with the thing can royally buttrape an ace. And all the good pilots know this so they go on the Chinese side, its just not contest.
This wasn't as much a problem when the AA wasn't super powerful and jets had to basically use machineguns for air to air, but seeing as the J10 seems to dodge all air to air missles its just annoying. The F35B should either get the same manueverability as the J10, or some kind of stealth capability like it does IRL which help it avoid missles, because the J10 apparently already has them installed.
If you managed to read all of this I salute you for reading my long, drawn out rant.
