So far the errors seen during server dev
. Aircraft name → F3R or F3-4
. Radar → Version?
. Air-to-Air Missile → missing Magic 2?
. Bomb → missing GBU-22, mk 81 and 83
. AASM 250 (SBU-64) → missing GPS guidance (from what I’ve seen)
. MFD

Well all fox 3s are ingame in a gimped fashion so I dont see what will stop them from adding advanced ir missiles in a similar way.
Not really, they can just put placeholder irccm and since its MICA it will be highly limited in terms of range, basically it will be R27ET with TVC and datalink.

The name can be kept at “F.3” for simplicism.
Radar should be PESA
everything else, yea, have to see

I don’t think they would add Datalink to it, best guess is well just MICA EM slapped with R-73 IRCCM is pretty enough to be still competitive in game.
AFAIK, you can’t shoot MICA IR in a very close range due to proxy fuse not warmed up and the missile is too fast. So it’s basically R-73 on steroid if we got the gimped MICA IR.

Well im fine without datalink, just give me my MICA IR gaijin.

More than 100 degree search angle is impressive, this would really ramp up the potential of MICA EM off-bore attack. The only problem is, MICA EM still have its wobbling performance that kills its long range performance.
in the end I just checked the GBU-22s are on the plane, it is the GBU49s that are missing

PESA as off statcard, BVV_d says its AESA lol
We will have to correct that as well

aesa for the win :)
somebody probably gave both streams the wrong notes. I’d trust whats clearly added without placeholder string on dev
I would rather have gimped IR on top of already gimped EMs than not having it at all. It has only 6 missiles and their range is worse tham abysmal in wt.

Its close quarter performance would be crazy due to having wide angle. This would utilize MICA EM at its maximum potential.
if only they could :
- reduce mica count to 6 on 2000-5F
- fix MICAs energy retention / speed
- Bring MICA IR in a few updates and keep magic II for now
It would be perfect imo.
That way you trade quantity for quality, MICA having a similar range to AMRAAM (if fixed) while retaining TVC, and Magic II still being one of the most capable fox 2
Well, why not to be fair. It literally cant compete in BVR so why shouldn’t it be monster in close quarters. Even flankers are better in bvr and R77 aint that much worse at close.
Iam all for this solution but i dont see amy universe where gaijin does that. If their intention was to have correctly performing mica, it would have been in the game. They certainly don’t care about power creep - eagle with 8 amraams vs gripen with 4 R-darters or mirage with 6 abysmal micas and i dont care that they are best up close. Mica em is supposed to be BVR missile… Not knife fighting spinning meme.

what missile is there that you cant do anything against ingame at the moment?
TY-90.
Only found on helicopters so it’s rare, but if it locks you, you’re dead.

Probably more than you, i only play top tier.
Guess someone hasnt met with R27ET that was fired from 15km before.
Gimped MICA IR will not be gamebreaking, just like R27ET and R73.
No, i want my Ir missile that has TVC and similiar range that R27ET has.
Rafale will be already limited due to how many missiles it can carry and how bad MICA’s range are, adding Slightly nerfed MICA IR will give uniqueness to French in this case.
Ok you got me there. I agree and I have no idea how to avoid it but Gaijin would gimp the mica ir, they wouldnt implement it like ty-90. Dont worry.
