“Air Superiority” Update trailer

the only Fox 3 missile for Russia is the R-77

Not only there are some ARH variants of R-27

Russia realistically wouldn’t need it’s FOX3 with how good the R-27ER is

ok

Yeeah you right, leclercs are too weak and nerf against bvm or new tank, i hope they will give them OFL 120 F2. Cuz i want those but i stopped at v era and after many complains about leclercs i decided to left french

if i stand corrected the current and only Fox 3 missile in warthunder is the Aim-54

You’re right, I’m just saying the R-27ER being the best missile in the game means that they don’t need their FOX3 if America got an earlier variant of the AIM-120

Im have finger crossed that adding Era 8 to tanks will efect France in good way. Moving SXXI and AZUR to era 8 and giving them F2 round would be dream right know for me

But F-14 and F-15 can’t bring 10 missiles ( F15 : 4x AIM-7 + 4xAIM-9= 8, F-14: I only can bring 6 unless 17G stupid AIM54 / 6 lack range and lack speed AIM7 + 2x AIM9, so total is 8…….SU27 get 10 and 6 of them are the best missile R27ER

if they add amraams it will most likely be the Aim-120A if lucky Aim-120B but if they go all out it it will be the Aim-120C

This would be acceptable, anything to help range against an R-27ER

I don’t think fox 3s will come this update tho. It’s such an important mechanic that it should have been in the teaser, which it has not.
Just be ready for a su27 domination for a few months. Even if top tier will actually get a bit more diverse with 4 new jets plus the still potent mirages, f16 and MiG 29s

Well, wrong. AIM-120A/B/C-4 is even short range then AIM-7F/M/P, the maximum fire range of AIM-120A/B/C-4 is 50km, AIM-7M/P is 70km, so AIM-120A/B/C-4 combat efficiency range may only 1/3 of 50km range

AIM-120A/B/C-3/4 – 27 nmi (50 km)
AIM-120C-5/6/7 – 57 nmi (105 km)
AIM-120D – 86 nmi (160 km)

So the version before AIM-120C-5 actually is the similar, at least range is same, their range is shorter than AIM-7M/P, that’s why USAF F15 still mix loaded AIM-7 with AIM-120 in desert storm, AIM-120 is not that strong as you think, until AIM-120C-5

Stat wise this is true, but in terms of acceleration and the missile not instantly going stupid and flying into the ground like most AIM-7’s have a history of doing, it would be a massive help

the Aim-120 is way better then the Aim-7

There is not major difference between J-11 and su27s, in other word the su 27sk is the J-11a. The major difference is the late verson (last few series) been updated by Belarus 588 Avionics Factory to get the chance to use R-77

AIM-120A has a range of 60nmi or 100kms, no, it is very far from being shorter range than the AIM-7M, stop being a copycat.
