Well…if they do it properly it will autokill anything it gets a lock on.

It means Russian will get one or two new AAs that can 360 noscope the Deathstar while other nations either gets some ancient hand cranked stuff or a buggy mess Gaijin will fix soon™

If you fire it at 8km the target will still be able to just turn around and leave, ground launched iris-t sls reaches mach 2(not sure if average or top speed), so it would take ~10 seconds to reach a target at that range, plenty of time to just leave the engagement zone, at most it would be a 6km death zone.
I doubt it will be worse than Type 81.
Anything that can’t challenge aircraft at 13-14km away is useless at top tier.
Good. But they won’t…

What are you talking about?
I want to grind the French tech tree and willing to give gaijin money for a premium vehicle to lessen the pain. But when I saw it is a l2a4 again, I’m out man. I just can’t play another 1000 games with a l2a4.

Just buy the somua and after 8.0 stary grinding normaly
If we can expect to see the IRST come to the game, then there’s no more denying the 9X.

Im sure the Japanese mains would like their…was it the AAM-4 (?) to no longer be artificially nerfed too.

IRIS-T, you mean. IRST is very different.

IRIS-T coming for a ground based SAM is an entirely different situation though than it being equipped to an aircraft. I do suspect that the SAM will be used for tuning/testing of however they plan to model “IIR” (initial rumours suggest it will just have 2x forms of IRCCM rather than being modeled as true IIR). But it could still be a number of months before we see them on any aircraft, let alone fighters
But just be warned. Aim-9X is one of the weaker Gen 5 IRs and just hope they give you the block II and not the Block I to fight IRIS-T, ASRAAM, etc, because you would truly stand no chance.
I did indeed get that wrong. Woops.
Block 2 is on par
Its not though.
IRIS-T and MICA IR can pull harder and tighter off the rails. with IRIS-T being by far the best short range IR missile with a range just shorter than it. MICA IR has a lot more range.
ASRAAM is equal in naeuvering capabilities but is faster off the rails and has 3-6x its range depending on aspect.
I dont know a huge amount about the Python-5 or R-74 so just going by the Modern IR thread but they look better than the Aim-9X in a few ways. Only thing Aim-9X might be equal to is the R-74
Sub 5km it goes (best to worse)
- IRIS-T (due to 80G pull)
- MICA IR (near instant start to maneuvering with 50G+)
- ASRAAM (50G + very fast)
- Python 5
- R-74
- Aim-9X
past about 5-10km it changes to (best to worse)
- ASRAAM (Fastest time to target)
- MICA IR (Excellent range)
- Python 5 (Seems to be fast and has decent range)
- IRIS-T
- R-74
- Aim-9X
Its what happens when you just upgrade an Aim-9M instead of making a new missile. There is a limit to what can be done

Python 5 is very clasified but idf stated it capble of bvr so it has long range+full sphare capability
