okay but like
Disputed by primary sources. Yea, that’s the thing.
I have not seen the second part.

likewise though
and of course you can always point to 75kN being part of the test program, and not on the production variants
sorry to bring up old stuff but i figured out the problem for who ever has the same problem, but simply set a key bind for “switch the hmd indication”

Didn’t know these options existed. The more you know
The HMD Brightness can also be found in MFM. Under cockpit select “more”

Yeah let’s give Germany and Britain the brimstone 3 they are using
Sure, don’t forget to add all hammer versions and MICA IR.
You can give IRIS-T and ASRAAM to compensate MICA IR (If they can ofc).
The range “issue” in-game isnt really a question of energy, its that the missile has a hardcoded range limit of 50km atm.
50km of flight range to be specific, it can hit a cooperative target from an 80km launch for example:
Punch into statshark:
Launch range: 80000m
Launch speed: 1618km/h (~M1.5)
Target speed: 2156km/h (~M2.0)
Alt: 10000m
Impact at ~61.5s with ~43km of horizontal flight range covered.
At the end of the day though, that the missile is hardcoded to self destruct at 50km of flight or 80km of flight is pretty irrelevant. Missiles dont reach those kinds of flight ranges without very specific circumstances which almost never occur in-game, particularly with maps being no bigger than 126x126km, with airfields typically being ~100-110km from eachother.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s significantly underperforming in terms of range.
So what were you saying again?
Its not though? It can still hit targets off an 80km launch at high alt vs a high speed cooperative target.
You’re nitpicking the absolute stupidest complaint there is, crying about something that “might” be wrong but even if fixed would have no bearing on any regular match.

Please show me with hard evidence.
I’m waiting for 80km shots from you.
Pump up the launch speed to M2.0, which the Rafale can EASILY achieve, unlike every other jet in-game, and the theoretical max launch range according to statshark is actually slightly above 90km.

So no in game footage to prove your point but estimated values.
As I’ve expected.
Come back once you get footage(which you can’t cause missile will self destruct at 50km).
Didnt feel like hassling a friend for 5-10min of their time to shoot a missile at them to prove you wrong just cuz you dont understand what you’re even complaining about, and I havent redownloaded my test mission to do it alone either. If I feel like it, ill do it later.

You’re missing the part where the missile is coded to self destruct at 50KM. The missile actually has good kinematics. The issue of the 80km max range is worthless tho so this thought experiment means nothing.
My best shot with MICA is 50 KM, here is because the target was oblivious J-11 that I assume very slow, that’s why the MICA can catch up.
Just for reference ofc, this was done in 25 April 2025.
And I must say, this was pretty rare and not as usual as I have done in Typhoon with AMRAAM.
EDIT: It’s 62 KM lmao

that was a 62km shot, dont sell your self short
Honestly we just gave up complaining, at some point, it gets exhausting lol
well on a side note does anyone know what the barrel of wine is doing in the backseat becuase i kinda want to know what it is
