Aim9ms are useless

As of now F-16C uses standard ones, it always did.

Just need this fixed:

Would make a lot of difference. Then after that, they just need to overhaul IR signatures. Aim-9Ls are way too easy to defeat. Not to mention Aim-9M

Sometimes I think ECCM is not working. The whole evening AIM-9L/i … I just got one hit with it. Its radar missile or nothing.

Did the one flare the plane had to drop to defeat the 73 tell you that ?

Well this isn’t all too surprising when you are using the optimal strategy to avoid an AIM-9M and the optimal strategy to kill yourself against an R-73, these are 2 different missiles with 2 different methods of IRCCM.

But I’m sure you already knew this with your 30 alt accounts, all with 500 KD/R hidden behind 3,000 proxies and protected by your uncle that works at Gaijin.

I guess the problems are the players then since they seem to love suiciding into r73s and getting pissed when it doesnt care about them dumping flares? That was mostly my experience save for the occasional r73 go spinny launch.

Edit also when did I ever say shit about my KDA and that what i did wasnt bannable? Pre-school level reading comprehension right there.

I couldn’t care less about your coping about your willful ToS violations, to be frank.

Then dont write anything next time? Shizo behaviour.

Nah I’m gonna call out your sheer stupidity for my own amusement. Because fools deserve to be mocked.

Doesnt care. Keeps responding? HAHAHAHAHAHA. And you call others a fool while the 2 braincells you have left are fighting for third place

Cope, seethe, mald and dilate while you can. You’ll be needing to make a new account before long.

Close range R-73s are going to be difficult to flare if you don’t know how as the seeker FoV narrows after launch.

🙄

The thing is that aim9m dont have inertial navigation and loal capability much easier to flare than the 9l YES im serious in a f14/f15 you have a much harder time to flare a 9L than a 9M, the missile going for the flares instead of going inertial flight path, cant imagine if this happens now how TV or IIR missiles will work… they dont disable seeker head instead they filtering out the heat source from the main source, or just going for the imaged target which is unflarable

I have some experince with the aim9m on the grippen. SOOOO the main proplem is that the players get used to how to dodge 9m. Same goes for fox3 missiles. After releas everytjhing is motly the strongest thing and it just takes some time until the players get used to flare them. Still most important is to flank the enemy don’t give them a sign that u launched a missiles, Cuz what can they do against something which they don’t kno it is launched on them.

so… if you can choose aim9m or aim9l you rather use the L one at top tier?

i didnt said that just used 9l as a reference, 9l sometimes much harder to dodge 9m can be dodged with 3 flares even without changing flight path
