Honestly don’t see the problem with 9x on the ah1z It only gets two of them and would actually make the ah1z worth using at topteir, since all the US heils at top tier are in such a garbage state. Plus, we already have the z19 and z10 with 16 TY90s.

yeah it would go a good way for counteracting the ah1z RWR nerf
where rn id say 64d is better because you actually know what AA is up and whats shooting at you

well
there is stuff like 8xTY-90 or 16xTY-90 which is already better than everything else, doubt that 2xAIM-9X would be better tbh

Not gonna lie, I pretty much forgot about the TY-90, because it has been ages since I have been killed by one of those missiles.
I haven’t tried the ground launched AIM-9X yet, but if the IIR is modelled somewhat realistically then 2x AIM-9X would definitely be better than 8x or even 16x TY-90.
+1
it still wouldn’t be enough to make US helis relevant tho

right now they dont work at all, they act like unguided rockets
I dont think so, because ty90s are already very flare resistant so id definitly bring 16 over 2 9x, id have to wait and see how 9x is before arguing if it 2 of them better or worse than 8 ty90

TY-90 isn’t that bad

The TY-90 isn’t a MANPADS
oh
well
IRCCM would be better… but you have way less of them

You have less of them, but either IIR (which would be immune to flares) or way better IRCCM, more G-pull, higher speed and between double and triple the range.
are you sure about that? AIM-9X has nearly the same range as AIM-9M, maybe a bit better due to loft and less drag
The TY-90 has like 6km range tops, the AIM-9M/X has 12-18km, not sure what the realistic values for heli launches are, but I would expect the Sidewinder to still have way more range
ty90 has a longer range than 9m from heli launch

Ground launched AIM-9X have about 12km range, why would a heli launched one have less than half of the range?
is that IRL or in game?
because in game I know for a fact that ty90 is longer range than aim9m when launched from a heli
9x should have less drag than 9m but should have similar or same motor

2 9Xs why not, better to put them on a heli than a F-15

Those values are both IRL and in game based on being launched from a stationary target towards a stationary target.
how did you test the in game because 9x is not currently functional
I didn’t test it, those are the ranges based on datamines and the missile spreadsheet
