I mean 11.3 has ja37c with sky flashes, 4 9ps and a mprf pd radar, all on a platform that’s faster with better flight performance. I think that it can’t be the same br as that
yeah that was my concern too
as dogshit as the 530f is, that br range is filled with people that dont even carry chaff
regular 530 it is then? xD would be funny tbh
this thing is just plain undertiered, should go up

Fair point. I’ve never really tested the agility of the R530Fs that much, they’ve always just been throwaway shots against targets I hope are distracted enough to not see them coming. So I’m not sure how they measure up to the Skyflash/7E-2, kinematics wise.
the entire community of you whining that a mid vehicle is OP lmao.
Do you not know of the radar lock button that’s required for radar missiles to guide?
Could prolly go lower if 530s were fixed considering Magic 1s are rear aspect.
Fr, it’s all the upsides of MiG-23 and F-4E combined, with added flight performance, somehow at the same BR.
the problem is not with locking people with the radar, its the missile guidance
it loses targets constantly since it has barely any chaff resistance
i would assume he means using 530f as a sucker punch surprise missile since it doesn’t give off a launch warning
wont work in most engagements
It is not only 0.3br superior to 3E when 3E is not even a direct upgrade to 3C
Ragebait
So chaff it
530s suck
530s suck and are not 1/4 the missile the r24r is
this is wild to me
0.7 br raise for vastly worse flight model and flares

yeah its always been a bit of a sad one, it should probably be 10.3
Just reacquire lock repeatedly.
We were talking about JA37

I feel like now its the perfect opportunity to remind everyone of this gem
Doesnt work with F1C-200 kit.
It would be fine but imo it would need to lose the chaff pod as well, the onboard 192x or so CMs would be more than sufficient at 11.3 lol.
Being Pulse guided it also shouldnt trigger RWRs, its kinda their whole gimmick

The missile does not have datalink…
Why? No reason. It wouldn’t be oppressive with it.
Both started with the F-5 on my tail lol.
You may be misinterpreting the purpose of re-acquiring lock.
I mean its 192x onboard CMs + 216x large chaff.
This count beats some top tier jets, at 11.3, not counting planes like Tornado, isnt the average CM count like 90x or less?
IMO that just would be too strong, but I digress.
This doesn’t really matter, its just defensive capability. The jet should get this to compensate for only having 2x magic 1 and 2x 530F at 11.3 anyway as this would mean it has both a worse Fm and worse missile load than the F-4E or JA37 at same br
Something that can only be used defensively cant be too strong, especially on a weak jet
Sure that I absolutely agree.
My concern was that at 11.3, plane thats sufficiently fast and thanks to its CM count it can create a time window where it is effectively immune to missiles, could potentially become too opressive in downtier boom n zooming its opponents, no?
This is not really a concern
Id like to hear as to why it isnt a concern, if you dont mind. Im not attacking, im geniunely asking.

Jaguar GR.1A
ARB: 10.7 → 10.0
it honestly has no real redeeming features, the flight performance is just abysmal, and two 9g’s really dont save it
its at 10.7 seemingly only because it has flares over the GR.1
