AIM-120 misses

r27s do have IOG but it doesn’t mean they need to have the ability to launch without a hard lock

isnt in game yet

tvc asraam variant when

Isn’t needed. Just adds weight,.complexity and expense

iris t will still outperform it in a df

The point of ASRAAM is that any IRIS-T slingers will be dead long before they ever get into range.

Though ASRAAM will still do just fine in a dogfight

yes they do

TWS guidance is not a requirement for datalink. The ability for the missile to receive updates after launch is what defines datalink. The R27 can be dumb for 30 seconds straight and will still immediately catch a lock in front of it and track to target if you acquire a lock it can see

look at the altitude listed for the f15 in the last screenshot, its well above the 60m multipath height

starting with the AIM 7 M we have monopulse seekers.

thats the player, not the enemys alt hes shooting at

true^^
Also still people don’t know what energyfighting is.
And with new players coming in every day, it’ll be a constant uphill battle to teach

that is player but I thought that the lake he was flying over was see level and the replay info lists him at 0.2km altitude where multipath would be 0.06 probably rounded to 1km

seems like average replay desync to me

thats fair enough I guess, but Id think if anything server replay would be more accurate than info listed in game

Only if they fix the trees first.

I mean multipathing isn’t a thing you would use irl to try and defeat a modern radar missile.
Putting a mountain in between you and the missile is, as well as running it out of energy

not really anymore imo

Wait, you don’t want to make the choice of either eating the ARH missile OR slamming into 55m tall trees?

The audacity.

I guess at least they aren’t 80m tall trees anymore.

R-27ER is the best. In everything.
Or the R-77-1 missile.
