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.
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.
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.
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
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”!
not what French players asked,… in the basis, i was ok for F.2.2,…
no interest to add earlier variants now and make France not interesting for the next 20 years of the game.
