Looking at it to me it seems like 2 extra MICA and more flares!!!
After reading again, i think he meant the current helmet but that it would be replaced by another one i guess, still seems way too annoying for gaijin to do so.
i dont see why people are such haters for 8 MICA and HMD, really confuses me. aslong as there is an HMCS i think it wont cause a riot. cause dear lord do jets in toptier need HMD. i went from negative in the Meshupar to positive real quick once its radar HMD got added.

My point is that they’re perfectly capable of 20km shots, and that’s essentially the longest effective range in ARB anyway for most missile, because people tends to dodge anything launched from further away (assuming they aren’t bots, there’s a lot of them, granted).
I scored some 35-40km kills with the Aim7F, and that missile, as good as it is, is basically completely out of juice after 20km. It’s not representative of anything.
But people are seriously naive if they think Gaijin would give MICA the range of an AMRAAM. It’s simply a matter of balancing things. They won’t give the best long range missile to the current best brawler. They already did that mistake to the F16C-F15C when Fox 3 were added.
i heard somewhere that gaijin doesnt balance missile and goes off purely kinematics. so like?
Yeah, below 20km, its fine, not perfect but fine, its best below 15.
But if you want BVR, you need something that keeps energy at range. And even in RB, BVR is often 40-60km. Mica is outright incapable of shots like these with solid PK unlike amraam or PL-12 and i would say even derby is somewhat decent there. Cant say for R77 as its in same group as mica, shortly after burning out - stone.

less good flares
We really need ability to select in mixed configurations. Large x32 all the way
Cuz the french players asked for this and so the french players got it?
Yea, who cares about future addtions anyway. Whats even the point to hold back the F.4.1 now, seriously.
All they need to change now is the model of the IRST, add AASM-1000 and you have a full F.4.1…

They should just have made it F.4.1 at the start, there would be no questions no problems, it would be still the same story about mica not performing well at all and there would be 75% less activity in here and that would be it.
But yeah 6 bad missiles was not 14.0 worthy at all that is for sure.
don’t give them ideas X)
Next thing you know, a meteor is going to pop up on these discord datamines
That’s really the thing i don’t like with these addition most of the time : new shiny things wich are broken, instead of more reasonable but less impressive stuff which works as it should

I mean, the F.4 will likely come when they plan to introduce new missiles
It should have been even pesa version, but with correct mica. But if they cant get mica right for BVR engagements, nothing more than having more of them cant be done exept lowering BR but 13.7 wont matter anyway until we get to 14.7 so in next 3 years.

Oh yay, they can now throw out historical accuracy because who cares about that lmao. Looks like we won’t be getting a MICA fix too because “muh 8 missiles”!
Do people not know what is best for them?

There won’t be a mica fix because the mica working well would depend on gaijin having better servers it is as simple as that.
