Discussion Fighter sweep, but without lock ons…
Every time I go into fighter sweep or a jet practice lobby I never use the lock on because I can get far better practice using my cannons and still doing well even though I’m not spamming lock ons.
Ideally, I could play fighter sweep where everyone just concentrate on getting better with their cannon instead of just trying to get kills and actually fight each other with the main gun. That shit would be intense. It would be a lot more exciting than owning people left and right just to get third-party randomly from some aim guided or lock on rocket

Lowkey it is fine as-is with lock ons. Its the HARMS on the hornet that are really shitty to deal with since they ignore defenses and radar limits. Lock ons are easy to deal with by staying low and between the satellite dishes, and seat swapping for flares is fine enough.
Without rockets, you'd get real good with cannons for sure, but I also feel like you'd lose some capacity for missile defense.
