Different philosophies, ASRAAM is intended to bridge the gap between the merge and employment of ARH missiles, basically the UK accepted that IR missiles are a near 100% death sentence so lets sling off mine before they can sling off theirs. As a result ASRAAM is faster with higher acceleration and worse pull (but still better with the current highest pulling missile in-game R73), ASRAAM has far higher range also.
IRIS-T however is optimised for maximum pull with insane maneuverability think the SRAAM missile ingame but faster, with higher pull and the stats turned up to 1000x, also with higher range than SRAAM even if SRAAM had its correct range.
Its a difference in philosophy, IRIS-T is a more lethal missile when you can use it, but you have much more room to use ASRAAM.
ASRAAM also beat Python 4 in trials though we don’t have the actual report to determine where it’s better and where it could be worse, the seeker is obvious though as ASRAAM is IIR and PY4 is UV+IR.
(Also worth noting IRIS-T can be slaved to the EFT’s MAWS to intercept incoming missiles).
Not my problem your biased mind can’t accept his machines are actually worse at doing something at the same BR.
My guy, this entire argument is based on me saying “If one can’t have F&F then then nobody else should” and you straight up went “No, Russia should but nobody else”.
You are the biased one here, and apparently you can’t even comprehend the things I am saying otherwise we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.
Yes it does as it it’s only advantage while having several major disadvantages.
Confirmed. This guy wants to be able to do this for free:
And he doesn’t want anybody else to have the same level of capability.
Brimstone isn’t IR so there isn’t a problem with it on a western jet.
Yes as they suck at everything else.
What’s the point of an aircraft if it’s subpar at every single metric ?
Says the dude that can’t understand how pro/con system should work.
Meanwhile you want to do the same thing on your UFO platform that can challenge air threats much better.
You aren’t here for balance, it’s pretty clear.
Maybe you dont have the EFT unlocked, maybe you’ve died using the Typhoon as CAP and now want to respawn in another aircraft. Etc etc.
There are a 1000 reasons why you may be using the Tornado or Harrier instead of the Typhoon. By your logic, once a new aircraft is added, you just delete all old ones from the game.
Yes as they suck at everything else.

Irrelevant to the topic, goalposting.

Pro/Con system is when something has some advantages over something else but not to the point it can do something that something else could never. Your idea of “pro/con” (as idiotic as it is), is for Russia to be able to outrange SAMs, ripple fire, and consistently get between 4 to 6 kills with each Su-34 spawn, and then for everybody else to be stuck with things that need constant guidence and HOPE to get more than 2 kills, pfft, get over yourself kid.
You aren’t here for balance, it’s pretty clear.
You have no idea how ironic this sounds. Especially since it took an entire interrogation to get you to say the entire west should’ve never been given ANY IR F&F ordnance.
