I think to solve this problem is create a new BR,
About the Phoenix
It will need be buffed, some guys on the Phoenix forum, with calculus proff game test, they came in a conclusion the Phoenix does not have your true speed. Other thing is the smookeless engine of the aim54C.
Fox 3 missiles and BR
I think they will make a 12.7 or the 13.0 BR.
11.3 3°gen with a fgr2, F-4F Late and some other planes that does not receive aim-9L, and some other 3 gen planes with all aspect missile, all one facing 90 fox 3 will be unfair, what i make think the current tornado F.3 will be 11.3, never facing 12.7 or 13.0.
That mean the f14B might get 12.7 with Buffed Phoenix and aim7P
The issue is the two major nations for air are US and Russia. Right now Russia has a huge advantage in the R27ER that is untouchable by any other missile in the game. Adding the AIM-7P for the US would give a nation the ability to at least answer the R-27ER. It sucks that other nations dont have true top tiers, but tbh during the era we are at it really was mostly the US and USSR battling for the best plane, everyone else was kinda a side show, plus US and USSR is where the majority of air players are.
Maybe, though euro deltas are now entering the scene, with rafale and typhoon already denied because “they are too good”. What we really need is ECM and AMRAAM to counter as those would be the historical IRL counter and would benefit every nation, not just the US. If Aim-7P was the ONLY solution then it could work, but there are solutions for balance that would benefit the US and the other 7 non R27ER nations in game and not just the US
The F-15 is from the 1970s, and the SU-27 is from the 1980s. That’s 20 years of technological advancement. The F-22 came out at the same time those 2 did
7M is shit, it has a strange high self-detonation rate, many people say that 7M is no different from 7F, this is really gajin’s malicious treatment, either enhance 7M, or give 7MH.
You can defeat a flanker with aim54C, but you must fire at 30-25km, point the nose until Phoenix adquire the lock, at same time the flanker are locking on you, crank and dive your plane while lock, if the r27er are coming go away fire and forget, its the best tatic.
About today they incrise the self explode time of the sparrow, its on test drive but not in the server matches
In anyway, the Usa and ussr will have the best bvr stuff, just see other missile nations, they use american or russian stuff.
I dont see the aim7P will break the nations, every radar missile you can evade if know how and do.
The aim7m is a good weapon, like every bvr missile in game you only can hit if they aprox to the missile, the aim7m do it well. The issue the r27er is the best sarh in game, but only few weapons can beat in a bvr, the Phoenix can if you fire between 35-25km and go away, if you have doubt about it i have a couple of vídeos.
And the aim7f/m if you fire first that lot of nations have.
The only plane that will have aim7P is the f14B and in future the f18 if will
The aim7mh would be the f16 and f15.
Theses improved sparrows only will give more range and energy with the same engine, nothing more, will be more competitive with r27er in that stuff.
The ER does not work on landmowers. It just goes into the ground right in front of you 100% of the time, I’ve tested it myself in both real and custom games.
However, AIM-54C are not nearly as consistent, they behave more akin to an IR missile when close by, making them even more annoying than they should be.
Velocit and speed with burn, always remember the aim54C C means ceaseless, because the engine are cease on vaccum pod that balance in favor the missile win yourselve weight, because the thrust is to high with that compense the weight, they made that on center in line with the self weigth, the aim54 c sealed means more vaccum coef and eccm better polarization
