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.

R27ET gatewidth IRCCM is significantly larger than both Magic and R73. It’s very easy to flare actually as long as you’ve noticed the launch.

Please try to notice R27ET launch from 15km or higher, i dare you.

I found something quite ancient, a ground display photo of the Rafale F.2 fighter jet taken by China’s Sina website at the 2009 Paris Air Show, with the original website indicating June 2009

I use them myself lol. They only lock at 15km from altitude, you can see the trail, and they’re easily flared even accidentally by defending against another missile. I missed my share of F15 with long range ET because they simply defended against something else.

i don’t want it yet tbh

But if they could fix the range on MICA EM i would be fine with no new missiles. Mirage 2k is already not the planes that goes the fastest up high, so having a missile with no legs does not help

Same goes for R73 and Magic 2 as well, all these missiles using same IRCCM and gatewith so if you can flare R27ET and R73 you can definitely flare MICA IR that has same capabilities in terms of flare resistance.

That’s a huge IF. You’re assuming they would add them with only Magic 2 IRCCM, or worse, ET’s. But that’s complete speculation. The only examples we have of imaging IR missiles right now (TY90 and there’s a SPAA one IIRC) in the game use combined seeker shutoff and gatewidth.

Could it actually only carry that many?

Is this even correct? isnt this the true load?

1086

You actually think that they will add MICA IR with its full potantiel? Please, look at what they have done to AAM3,MICA-EM or R27ET.

Its obvious they are gonna add MICA-IR with nerfed IRCCM capabilities, this is not even a question or ‘‘IF’’.

F3R can carry two missiles underwings I think.
