Above rMin, probably outside of the LSZ and against a worse case target. (Look down and side aspect)

Before the launch
After the launch (9G)
just sayin
Ahh yes sorry I didn’t see he’d expended all the SFDF.
Hes right at the bottom of the launch window on a side aspect target, I’m betting its outside of the LSZ.
no he wasnt lol, albiet the Rmin value is more of an estimate and its still close to R-min
this is where terminology comes in, there is no NEZ indicator on the FGR.2, so unless the target doesnt turn, Rmin is unlikely to be useable.
Thanks all so far. Im glad I wasn’t going totally crazy on that skyflash shot
nah they genuinely just suck. If you roll fast enough they lose track and they have less range than if you took it and threw it
so just expect them to miss at least 90% of the time
Thats just a given for Playing Britian

Ah. But still a British missile unfortuantely.
If i remember correctly, they didn’t give brit phantoms 9L’s because they would see a br increase?
Would it be a good idea to give the FG1 the 9Ls even if it meant a small BR increase and keep the FGR2 as is. So now you get to choose between carrier spawns with 9Ls at the cost of the slightly increased BR. Or the current phantom loadouts.
It would also add abit more variety to both the phantoms in the british TT.
Until decompression, I still dont understand why its BR would increase at all, but essentially yes and that is what people want them to do. Try it, give 1 of them 9Ls, see what happens.
FGR2 instead of 9Ls could also get AGM-12s. They could make the 2 aircraft unique.

Did the FG.1s ever carry AIM-9Ls though?
I thought it was only the FGR.2s that carried them
Because they are in the British tree and GJN hates the UK.
Kurnass 2000 gets six missiles that are even better than 9Ls at the same BR along with a better choice of A2G weaponry. So the UK phantoms get much worse IR missiles for the sale of being able to carry four of the worst “top tier” SARHs in the game.

The FG.1 has a gunpod it never used… While in the Royal Navy. It was given to the RAF where it received the gunpod and later the Skyflash (I think) and definitely AIM-9L’s.

Ahh ok, thx
Yes, all the FG.1 when transfered to the RAF were converted to the FGR.2 standard.
