This game has a Simulator battle. Gaijin is taking for real the word Simulation, or we just waste the time following this up and down in weapons and radars and avionic like tune button in favor of a side?
Firstly, the gaijin didn’t touch the AIM-9M, and another question do you know how the different types of IRCCM work?
im pretty sure gaijin never touched aim9m, also u didt even try to turn while u were flaring so the missile just relock when its close
I’m not sure what your complaint is, the aim-9m has seeker shutoff IRCCM. It doesn’t lock flares but instead turns off its seeker when it sees a flare and then turns it back on a little bit later to try to find your plane again. If you just fly straight your just going to get hit by a missile flying blindly straight to where it was already going before you flared.
The best way to avoid the aim-9m is to pre-flare before it’s even fired since then its seeker is off and the enemy can’t fire it to begin with.
Toxic ahahhahaha
its* :)

You forgot one
Nah, it’s just not updating for some reason… Had to refresh the page for the edit to work.
Wt forum moment
When they intruduced it it was smokeless, the last time I played with it 1 month ago, it had smoke
That change was about almost a year ago i believe it happened when they improved all missile contrails. its more a graphical side affect of the widespread graphics improvements rather than a dedicated aim9m tweak.
it had smoke for as long as i can remember
Wasn’t tocuhed.
Also Aim-9m is underperforming btw
when it was added it was fully smokeless
but at some point they overhauled missile smoke trails, and made it much more visible (along with every other smokeless missile)
I dont see anything wrong.
The IRCCM is suppose to work in front aspect (I reported that and got that fixed earlier this year)
Though they are buggy in NE and seem to be going for flares instantly for some random reason
I’ve had a AAM-3 relock me after I shot a missiles (normally you would expect the missle to stop IR from working because its so hot) it relocked extremely quickly too and was able too turn in my direction and make impact I find that a bit crazy but its always that annoying
it did lock the missile btw then turned to relock me kinda cooked
All IR missiles should struggle against very low fly targets because the reflection of the water and also the background of the terrain. these perfect hits we got at low altitude for IR missiles are unreal. also the ability to solid lock or even detect low flight targets doing notch is a dream for 80’s Pulse doppler radars. The current perfect guidance in very short range for AIM-7 against a close head ON maneuvering rolling target very close is also unreal due the Aim-7 is a SAHR and bigger missiles in early rocket burns creating thrust at that particular distance and action.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION OF REALIST BATTLES if you want to go kind of arcade. Simulator is a word Gaijin is not taking serious.
The unbalance in multiplayer is huge. I always fly on the soviet side and I don’t win a battle for 2 weeks not only in 12.7 but in general.
When you see Mig-29 9.12 (introduced at 1984) without R-73 (introduced at 1985) but with the late 80’s introduced long burn R-27ER, is obvious this is a situation created by Gaijin. R-60M was in payload but R-73 was also in payload one year after.
If SAHR missiles don’t work against very low flight targets, then GAIJIN is forcing soviet fighters to go very low but with R-60M a missile variant was adapted from previous generation Mig-23 but was not the official missiles for Mig-29 9.12 but the R-73 was.
if Mig-29 9.12 doesn’t have R-73 with IRCCM because Gaijin just wanted to go bias on this then what is the tactic we should have with R-60M without IRCCM. Cannon?
Gaijin should be fair and give the R-73 and R-27R short burn to Mig-29 9.12 as real life payload. All variants of Mig-29 9.12 received his R-73 in mid 80’s and up, not the case for 27ER missile variant because this was a soviet delivered only late 80’s
Gaijin should fix water reflection on sea and background interference for IR missiles against low flight targets as real life and stop manipulated the real payload of soviet fighters in order some kids get happy. Thats is not fair what they are doing.
They even remove from Mig-23 Hud, the cannon ballistic calculation for air to air cannon use and many important HUD features used in Mig-23 combat to give the other side kids IRCCM in an unreal way…
