Su-30MKI never happened guys
Both the F16 and F15 rate alot better than that
Object 195 never happened, the entirety of the Su-35 and Su-37 lineage, AL-41F never happened, yknow what… Quite literally everything that was the peak of Russian design came from the '90s and IMMEDIATELY died in 2001~2003.
They don’t. They’ll rate a lot LONGER, but the F-18 with curbstomp both before the second circle.
thats if you if give into the 1c in the F-15 or F-16
you can easily force the 2 circle and the f-18 wont be able to do anything after loosing all its energy in the first two turns
No, that’s for the flat-out rate.
It can straight up outpull both aircraft in the span of a circle and get its shot off.
modern defense systems won’t help against modern ir missiles.
All the elecronic warfare things really don’t influence this
LDIRCM like on mi28 currently defeats IIR missiles like iris-T in wt but only Su-57 has LDIRCM

The specific data of the IRCCM of the AIM-9C on the SLAMRAAM had already be found: it utilizes an FOV + Seeker shut off type IRCCM with a seeker FOV of 0.25° (for comparison the TY-90 on the Chinese helicopters uses FOV + Seeker shut off with 1.25° FOV). In contrast, the R-73 only has an FOV type IRCCM with an FOV of 0.75°, and the AAM-3 a seeker shut off type IRCCM. What you’re suggesting would be like making a mixture of the AAM-3 and the R-73, but better in all regards, and just in case, also not give the IRIS-T, AAM-5, R-74M/M2, A-Darter, ASRAAM, PL-10, MICA-IR and Python-5 to the other nations. That’s the absolute opposite of balance.
Also, in case you’re curious, these missiles will be coming to the game, during the russian dev stream BVVD stated that the 5th gen IR missiles would only come to the game once the 5th generation fighters are added. And since Smin already talked about this, don’t expect them by the end of this year, because it’s not on their plans. Probably by June or December 2027 you’ll get the AIM-9X for a lot of 4.5 gens, as well as 5th gens with AIM-9X (this is just a guess)

Fun fact: The AAM-3 should also have seeker shutoff + gatewidth IRCCM. As its a dual band missile, which on manpads/heli IRs in game is also modeled as having the two afformentioned type.
Also the AAM-3 is missing a lot of offboresight, i did some testing with corrected values for dual plane and it has comically good turning (better then the R-73 past a few hundred meters range).
NGL the next thing we should recieve in game is the Python-4 /buffed AAM-3 / PL-8B etc.
Aim-9M has more than a few outstanding bug reports too. Like better lock ranges and Push ahead (one of its other forms of IRCCM)
So yeah, could milk the current set of AAMs quite a bit if they wanted

The game has been heavily in favor and unbalanced because of the russian tech tree for years
rip 9M nations
yes, making that not even worth a look as a source.
Esp with Gaijins picky and biased way to approve sources
you mean in mixed batlles, where every nation is on every team, we had for the last years?
Edit:
Also Gaijin refuses to implement regenerative steering, which most tanks have, except the russians^^
the AIM9 X has a compatibility mode, so every plane that can fire the AIM 9 M, can fire the AIM 9 X (though the plane, not the missile, thinks, it is an AIM 9 M)
