And with aim9m, it would have a decent chance against a phantom who’s entire gimmick is an f16a radar. especially with a maws system and hmd.
Yes which is still a debuff with no positives, at least with the fictional Kungstiger it weighs .5t less due to it missing the side skirts. Again it only proves they didnt give a shit about finland on release
Guess Gaijin reconsidered and decided that they don’t want to do another update.

You vastly overestimate the utility of aim-9M’s on a slow af platform like the A-10
Also if it get 4 9ms that would be much better than 2 r73 and 2 r60m on the su 25T
I can clown on people all day long with the A10a with aim9l, aim9m will work the same if not better. The br is stiffer sure, but not untenable.

some would argue the R-73 is still better (They’re wrong)
You are a slow target vs a capable radar and AIM-7F, with multipathing nerfed recently, good luck dodging 4 of them till you can use your 9M which can be easily pre-flared
The Su-25SM3 is 12.3 in air sim only with 2 R-73. I assume a slower platform with more missiles and more countermeasures would be 12.0.
@Smin1080p_WT can we get at least a denial for any devblogs today so we can stop refreshing constantly?

R73 is definitely a niche missile, it has goofy turning but unless you’re really close rear aspect its gonna eat flares all day
Its a 80% instant kill within 1km fired, but at that range if your aim isnt complete shit, its a gun kill either way
you can still multipath just fine, also you have ~800 countermeasures plus notching, radar’s can easily be notched and chaffed by the same logic that you can easily preflare an aim9m.

Nah, Gaijin is a small indie studio, just like Activision-Blizzard, Bethesda and Riot Games
Ah yes, the 60 micro meters of multipath ability… This guy is wafted
I play sim, i multipath all day long. It’s not even that much harder tbh.

I am of the same opinion, you can still use multipath to defend just fine in Air RB, it has gotten a bit harder and you have to fly bit closer to ground, but I had no issues so far with that.
And since I tend to uptier my J-7E a lot to 12.7+, I have to do it every round too, no issues
its still very valid strategy
In terms of Sim and Jets, what are people’s thought on the Swiss Hunter?
I know the missiles are good, but it’s the only Jet with missiles I’ve used and don’t know much
(I’m trying to not relapse from lack of blogs, leave me alone lmao)
Even perfectly multipathing, it doesn’t mean the explosion of say a phoenix wont cripple you by sheer blast radius
(As has been my experience)
