Sadly with how excessively effective the AI radar SAMs are at intercepting munitions the parachute functionality of ALARM would be super detrimental :v
They also just have outright infinite ammo, so it’s barely worth bothering with ARMs against them unless you’ve got some friends to volley off a large barrage of them simultaneously.
Assuming the AI never switched the radar off, then it would be irelevant, but 9x ARM might actually overhwhelm the defences. Especially if they werent this heavy in actual ARB/ASB maps
ppl saying nice things on my death bed
Well, the OSAs activate and deactivate their radars only on demand. So they can be only targeted while they guide a missile.
Hate to break it to you. They all have basically the same seeker, with ASRAAM block 6 bringing the newest and most advanced
do we know what the seeker’s view looks like?
oh no your gonna be dead long before the challenger 2 gets buffed. so will i probably
Huh? Debate wasn’t about which seeker is superior but rather which missile is more suitable for dogfights which in this case IRIS-T slaps out of ASRAAM.
Hmm… Interesting. Hadnt noticed that though was only using aircraft with rubbish RWR
Your comment was about effectiveness of flares against the missile, both missiles will be affected similarly
it depends, if flare rejection is a processing rather than an optics thing then ASRAAM might have the advantage, or so i hear
Let face it, IIR is just gunna be IRCCM+. But probably still 1 flare defeat half the time
The whole debate started due to missiles spesific purposes.
Since ASRAAM designed to be medium range missile like R27ET we made a debate about how easily it will get flared on long range shots like ET does.
Clearly you didn’t bother to read from the start.
I kinda fail to see why a focal-plane array which can be overblended should be more resistant to flares than a line scan seeker.
We’re getting both it doesn’t matter
I have not followed the entire discussion, I’m only responding to this comment.
In game, they would probably behave identically seeker wise. IRL, the ASRAAM has a significantly better seeker on paper, since it’s used a full 2D array instead of 2 1D array as on the IRIS-T. That’s kinda understandable has the ASRAAM needs to lock (and keep lock) at much greater distances than the IRIS-T
from a recent greece pilot podcast, apparantly they prefer the IRIS-T over the amraam and basicaly stopped using the asraam after they got the IRIS-T.
THat being said i dont speak greece, that is what we have been told from a native
Greece has ASRAAMs?
Genuine question, as I dont remember them having it.
i have no idea about the specifics,
Youtube auto translates sucks ass, and that is what we have been told
He says AMRAAM, doesnt he?
