why would u even want the B over the D though?

Better time to target and pull below 20ish km

same with the tornado paint schemes, i want more than just the fin painted black man…

damn really. is the aim120d that much of a sidegrade.

later AMRAAMs just have weaker acceleration and smaller fins, so they pull less and get to target slower

they do have a larger overall range however, and max speed

fair enough

Whoa the F3 Tornado Leuchars “Treble One” squadron looks fantastic.

Gaijin could fix them by reducing the range they go active, like the real one the system selects the best window for going active rather than the flat 20km which Gaijin use.

Were we also not promised a new loft profile “more efficient” yet it looks total crap.

Least the R-77M will also pull like crap as it is not TVC and has teenie tiny fins.

Unfortunately teenie tiny fins at Mach 6 offer an awful lot of lift

Then we are fortunate the R-77M is not a mach 6.0 missile.

Do you know how much a Sea Harriers 190 gallon drop tank weights?

As well as the operating weight of the FA.2?

No idea about the drop tank weights
Number I have for FA.2 empty weight (operational) is 14,500lb/6,577kg but that’s from two secondary sources, not a primary.

Think Gunjob has copies of some of the A.P.s for FA.2

I see, I found a primary figure for Frs.1 with pylons and empty 190 gallon tanks. The dry un-fueled weight in this configuration was 13,850 lbs.

I don’t see the FA.2 being that much fatter.

1 x 120 gallon tank weights 105lbs empty. That’s the closest value I have.

4 wing pylons weigh 297 lbs

297+105(2)=507 lbs suspension weight (120 gallon DT)

13,343 operating weight for IRL Frs.1 (With 120 gallon tanks)

The reason I ask is the Frs.1 in game weighs 13847 with no pylons, no tanks and dry.


9.3 britain is goated

Chieftains just need a little TLC and then just need an IR SAM slinger at 9.0/9.3 so that you dont have to uptier to 9.7 to use the Rapier. That way you avoid the 10.7 Premium blackhole.

Something like a Scimitar Mk2 wouldnt go amiss either

what sam could got to 9.3? i really like rapier

some Land rover with the SAM Javelin, kinda like the Type 93

isnt javelin beamriding?
