One has thrust vectoring and one doesn’t though. Derby and R-73 are both “40G” but one is more maneuverable than the other for a reason (thrust-vectoring). ASRAAM is claimed to be 50G in line with MICA EM, but one has TVC.
ASRAAM probably does hit 50Gs but just because of the forces applied to it from its speed.
MICA meanwhile probably pulls the same amount because of its TVC throwing it around the corner and will probably have the smaller turning radius as well.
Yes, the issue here is at what speed this overload is achieved. My honest answer is “I don’t know”. I can only repeat what I wrote above - MIСA will be sharper in a turn. But I have no data on how much sharper.
This is unbelievable on gaijin’s behalf, why should we have to ‘earn’ the right to a competitive amount of fox-3s while russian aircraft are allowed dual pylons from the Su-35, allowing them to carry double the amount of current typhoon while remaining as feasible irl as MRPL pylon AMRAAMs.
Hopefully we get them at some point soon, since the only time I reckon we could see 8 fox-3s on a Eurofighter is when we have an F-15ex with 20
(Not a jab at gunjob, just a little rant about the balancing devs)
Don’t forget that MICA has a guidance delay of only 0.15 seconds before it starts turning whereas most other missiles are between 0.35 seconds and 0.5 seconds, the sooner you can start pulling, the tighter the turn radius. I will be interested in seeing the guidance delay of the ASRAAM once it comes into the game as that can determine its turning radius as well.
If they give it AIM-9M’s guidance delay, that would be 0.4 seconds.

Well. This part is actually very funny.
Gaijin say that if they can’t find the data, they take the data from the direct predecessor. Like in the case of Blue Vixen → Captor.
And the direct predecessor is SRAAM. With a control activation delay time of 0 seconds.

I had to double check on this, you’re right SRAAM doesn’t have any guidance delay at all.

It is still really solid lol. The US is legit one of the last nations that is in need of a better 14.0 aircraft.
And yes, I have played the F-15E, F-15I, Rafale and I’m 1 aircraft away from the FGR.4.

quad racks dont work. only ones with any chance would be the CFT AMBER racks that leave it with only 16 AMRAAM
untill enemy has 2 braincells - it is useless
so true… worsest 14.0.
Lot of aamrams, compared to Eurofighter aamrams count
if the F-15E pilot also only has 2 braincells, sure.

not compared to original 22 AMRAAM
Well, he would defend himself, yes. But wouldnt be able to attack at all
ARHs in game are just bad, due of multipath, easy notching
Insane take right here

double pylon aim-120.
but for su-30sm their added double pylon, although there are no photos with them on the su-30cm (not the su-35s).
Gaijin double standart
It’s a render. It’s not an actual photograph.
Just showcasing some proposed modifications and it was probably just an animation mistake as well, as its not even one of the listed modifications, those being:
- SPEAR-3
- CAPTOR-E
- DASS upgrades
- Striker II HMD
- New Cockpit avionics
- New CPUs / networking
- Datalink improvements for Drone intergration
I cant comment on the Su-30, probably suspect, but would be easier proving the Su-30 couldnt have that loadout rather than the Typhoon could. Besides. Its not a hill worth dying on at the moment, given we are still waiting on CAPTOR-M even being modeled

Like as su-30sm.
Just su-30sm from russia. But su-30sm doesn’t even have a render from the manufacturer.
