Maybe? I don’t really remember lol. I do remember a Soviet chart that put the AIM-7P as having longer range than the R-77 but that’s off topic.
It doesn’t seem like they’d be a counter to the AMRAAM because the AMRAAM was in service way later than the 27Es, but nonetheless it seems like the 27Es are way overperforming either in terms of top speed, acceleration, or targeting/guidance.
Back to 27ER, its faster, pulls better and have much more range than any other SARH.
Sparrows are easly notched, and more or less useless in ra

Notching comes down to the radar on the plane, not the missile. F15 is hard to notch.

If the missile can no longer pick up the target even with the radar pointing it to it it’ll go dumb
Least the Sparrows and R-24s do
You’ll see it when someone turns around and back while the missile is en route and it just goes stupid and flies off to auto-destruct
Its why you get the two red rings while locking if I remember right
When its just a grey circle the missile doesn’t see the target but you can throw it and it’ll hit sometimes
Both red rings and unless the target changes direction and notches w/e it’ll hit if it can get there
Obviously correct me where wrong

That’s often due to ground clutter, which is the radar failing to provide accurate targeting to the missile below a certain aiming threshold.
If they notch appropriately, some missiles will not guide using inertial guidance and thus self destruct.

wrong, R-24 also has IOG meaning even if it loses lock it will follow the last projected trajectory and try an intercept, but it does not have DL so you cant update it via TWS

we’re also forgetting that the smt has the most countermeasures of any Russian top tier fighter with a grand total of 118, while you can spam chaff and flares with NATO fighters

It is not crying my dude, its about being fair, AIM 9X was created to counter R73 in dogfight
AIM120A entered service in 1991 where R27ER is what 1990?

plus, R-27 pulls more cuz of the DAYUM huge fins on it.
ever seen the sparrow? its fins are small compared to the 27R
That’s not whats been happening the last couple days
So they probably broke something because I haven’t had this many R-24s go dumb in the entire year or so I’ve had the 23ML than I’ve had go dumb in this week alone
R-27 is also like 350kg and fat as fuck
It has no drag in game lmfao
by go dumb, you mean just miss or suicide?
Wasn’t the AIM9X created as a solution to the R73M?
Ideal balance at the current moment would be something like this
Soviet/Russian:
R-27ER/ET and R-73
NATO:
AIM-9M and AIM-120A
Because, looking at the time period IRL (~1990s, ignoring the stupid SMT) NATO aircraft would have dominated long range and the Soviets would have had to attempt to close the range gap any way they could to get into a close range fight where they’d win.
RB’s furball style gameplay makes it impossible though
still aerodynamic though, the range it has in game is actually lesser than irl
so we’re pro historical match making now? we’ve truly come full circle with you guys lol

Just go stock straight and fall out of the air once their energy is expended/autodestruct
Its not like Sparrows going the complete opposite direction off the fucking rail
The R77 and AIM120 were being developed at the same time, no?
imo there should be a seperate queue for that, see if it sticks in the current meta. if not, no biggie, remove it
