Exactly
how do u defeat a rafale thats flying at 10m with 8x mica ir that will outrange asraam/irist. also remember mica ir has datalink , i dont know if the asraam has datalink irl.
I think part of the concern in both scenarios and currently is eurofighter is a jet that is very geared towards BVR. We have the second longest range radar in the game (just behind the F-14 lol) and arguably the best MAW with brilliant high-high performance and AMRAAM. The AESA is likely only better than that.
The game, as it stands, forces you into melee combat with the enemy.
IRIS-T/ASRAAM would make for huge changes because it would allow for a short range capacity that is equal to (better, actually) than rafale, and ASRAAM in particular would allow for long range shots (which rafale MAW can’t detect reliably, but the EF’s can). A better radar alone would do very little.
I would like to have meteor missile right now, over the ir missiles
Meteor would essentially have the kinematic performance of a fakour90?
Depends on the implementation id say, with the amount of energy MICA loses rn in game the range advantage might not be as big
Not really, fakour 90 has vastly superior acceleration
it will probably be coded just like normal mechanical radar with aesa features.
That probably depends to some extent on how Gaijin model IIR. If they are LOBL only then both ASRAAM & MICA would be seeker range limited, which would level the playing field in terms of range.

Not to say anything about MICA, it’s a scary missile, but
MICA has
an 1102.47m/s delta V.
CAMM (ASRAAM, but 11kg heavier) has
1146.56m/s
Adjusting for mass, (1146.56*99)/88 comes out to 1289.88m/s, or just under 1300. For scale, R-27ET sits at 1137.77m/s.
This means that ASRAAM would have the same margin of kinematic advantage over the MICA (1289.88 vs 1102.47, 187.41 difference) as the MICA has over AMRAAM (1102.47 vs 897.39, 205.08 difference).
The assumption that MICA-IR automatically has better range because “it’s also a radar missile” is on a mediocre basis at best.
N011m on su30 is already a gimbaled esa and we all know how that’s modeled
step 1: take off
step 2: win button x6
gaijin we need bigger maps please

Going to be funny when both teams are filled with Meteor carriers, the small maps with minimal terrain masking options will be interesting to say the least.
Fly-launch-land-J out-respawn after 59s-do it again
Wait but if meteor is a ramjet, would it even work being fired stationary?
its almost like we’ve needed 3x bigger maps since danger zone 💔

It has a 1st stage rocket to boost it up to speed, don’t worry they thought of that.

The 1st stage motor can bring it up to mach 2 by itself? Because doesn’t the ramjet only operate past mach 2 range?
