AIM-7C/E: do they do anything?

On the mirage 3c I only used the IR 530 on the center pilon, the R511 is just a meme missile. Anything it can hit you can also easily gun down.

I only used a loadout with 1 or 2 R511 in the voiture because it often meets tu-4’s and those are helpless against it. But the AA-20 nords would work about the same and are better for everything else

The F3H-2 alternative for the Aim-7C is to forget about it and run 4x aim-9b

If that’s your solution, then remove the missile and lower the plane’s br, as the current placement has its radar missiles considered, its top speed is decent but overall it’s FM ain’t the best.

I’d rather prefer a slight buff to the 7C, but if not, that’s the other feasible scenario.

Do I look like a gaijin employee?

No, but your answer of just pretending that the missile doesn’t exist while keeping things as they’re, isn’t really a decent solution proposal.

The AIM-7C works very well if the plane you are targeting are at 10.000 meters, going subsonic, going straight towards you while the pilot is blind and deaf.
Not the best missile

I never addressed anything related to balance in this topic. I just talked about the missiles.

Talking about missile performance inevitably relates to balance, it makes no sense to divide it as such.

No, I can talk about the missiles themselves without relating to the specific balance of whichever platforms use them. Stay on topic.

It’s arguably the worst SARH in the game, end of topic. While the Mirage has a very competitive stock alternative (530) instead of the weaker researcheable variant (511), for the F3H-2, it’s just the AIM-7C. It’s the worst SARH in the game, even within its context.

AIM-7B ARH when (older than 7C)

Are you hallucinating? Is not that I disagree with you. I just never gave my opinion on the topic and you keep arguing with me for whichever reason.

You said the R511 was on another trash level. It’s subpar for its rank, but it’s not even the main missile for any plane that is allowed to use it. Building a comparison between the 7C and 511 is completely irrelevant.

You said the R511 is worse than Aim7C which is arguably not, both are borderline useless but the R511 can be used on an 8.3 voiture which works against tu-4 strategic bombers in a downtier, that’s all. I never commented about BR’s or balance. Just replied as a follow-up of you saying the Aim7C is worse than R511.

While 511s doesn’t have the best performance, it has a better seeker, and a better platform to guide it. By pure context, 511s are more capable to hit anything than 7Cs, that makes the latter automatically worse lol.

I disagree, the R511 pulls better but tracks horribly

pls go have some fresh games with the 7Cs before even trying to be compelling, i just had to play the Mirage IIIC during the last event on the grind for the Mirage F1C, and i had a pretty decent experience as far as i tried 511s for some 4 to 6 games.

Never had such with the AIM-7C, as the platform is directly another downside.

You keep arguing with me about something I never talked about

again is just incapable of having missile to wok properly the aim 7fs do it just constant misses

I’ll just answer you with quotes if you’re going to be redundant.

Thanks for proving my point. As you can see I never talked about balance or needed BR adjustments.

Again. Stop arguing with me about something I didn’t say. I won’t reply anymore because this convo is completely useless for the topic
