Because they deserved their own tree
trials and decision to buy them was made but not carried thru.
straight up wrong.
one guy posted about this, the pilots of the mig were witness to the fact that the E variants were compatible with the 29 9.12
Depends on the situation. In a dogfight, sub 5-10km yes. They are, by far. But at greater ranges, out to about 15-20kms, missiles like ASRAAM start to become stronger and IRIS-T max out at about 25km. ASRAAM is effective out to 30-40kms and can under the right conditions it something out to 50kms
Didn’t use them. So it shouldn’t be in game. And give link to that post please.
Bro, but neither was a serial production Yak-141 with IRST and countermeasures that were guessed and placed entirely by the developers.
Nothing is impossible to those who believe.

Gaijin said - all at once or nothing for all.
Therefore, you’ll have to wait that anyone could have a platform good enough for fox-3 (meaning Japan and UK as well)
Actually they didnt. CBA to find the post. But Smin confirmed that not all nations would get Fox 3 in the same update. Only that when other nations did, PL-12 would come to the J8-F. No where does it state that all 10 nations would get Fox 3 in the exact same update
MiG-29? No one? It’s the fastest and most maneuvrable at the current live server.
Well where are those all??
Like i said… Germany has 2 mig29s already, meanwhile brits are stuck with 2 phantoms with 9Gs and boat with wings.
Does that actually make sense for you?
“Right now germany is in a good place compared to sweden and britain, so it’s germany that needs better missiles (on top of R73 and R27 lmao) and not those that are struggling.”
how do you know that? not every missile has to be featured in the trailer. And even if they don’t add them now, theyre gonna do it at some point anyway right?
bro the f-16 FM runs circles around the 29. and with ground huggers, SARH is nerfed to hell.

There is still time. Most suspected that F-15 and Su-27 would remain SARH for now, even if ARH was added. That way lower performance airframes like Sea Harrier FA2, AV-8B+, J8-F, etc etc could be fitted with ARH and find a degree of balance.
We’ll have to wait for the next few weeks and see, but still a good chance it will come

Correction - Germany is in a good place right now and will be in a decent one when the update releases. But unlike Britain and even Sweden, it doesn’t have any options for aircraft to keep it competitive over the next months. Despite being one of the top 3 most played nations. No options, that is, without AMRAAMs on vehicles such as the F-4F ICE.
Giving the Tornado AMRAAMs would turn it into a broken missilebus. Especially broken if no other nation is given missiles anywhere near that capability. When there are so many other options to add, why would you ever pick the Tornado from a game perspective? It’s just a terrible idea. Every nation should get AMRAAMs and equivalents at the same time. That time should be late next year, allowing for more 12.3s, 12.7s, and 13.0s to be added. Then, aircraft such as F-16Cs, Typhoons, F-15C/J MSIP, Su-27M, etc. come in at 13.3 and 13.7 with those new missiles. Finally, with the missiles being widespread and players having time to learn how to defeat them, older aircraft at lower tiers can get AMRAAMs.
Not just rashly throwing a uniquely powerful weapon system to a single nation just because you main it, irregardless of the consequences.
A Tornado at 12.7 with AMRAAMs would be like the A-10 or Su-25s in Air right now. Balanced, sure. But sure as hell not fun to play against with more conventional vehicles. Especially if there is no possibility of those aircraft ever seeing anything but downtiers.
thx
Oh yeah, I’m totally cool with AMRAAMs coming eventually. At higher BRs where they will only really fight current top tier. Not poor little Mirage F1s and F-4EJ Kais fighting Gripen Cs or F-15Cs.

I’d hope not for this update at least. I can see the subsonics being alright when equipped with AMRAAMs. They’d just be basically levitating Pantsirs, though, so not particularly enjoyable to fight or play. But SPAA disguised as slow moving aircraft isn’t anything new.
R-27EA right now actually exist they arent mass produced they are retrofitted R-27E’s with R-77 seeker
