Marte er doesn’t require mfrl launcher though
Does ALARM specifically need that though?
Given all the Pylons it can be equipped too on the Tornado IDS
Don’t know
We got the FGR.2 after the F-4C and before the F-4E. It was also brokenly overpowered for months after its addition; the flight performance completely outclassed every other jet in the game and AIM-9Ds (which only the FGR.2 had) were added with basically no drag and stupidly high seeker range so you could easily pick up 10 km+ kills. It basically had BVR missiles at a time when everyone else had AIM-9B or AIM-9Es.
The FGR.2 had plenty of annoying bugs over it’s lifetime. But it was far from obsolete upon addition. It was also the first jet to get a proper Pulse Doppler radar a time when everyone else only had MTI, which gave it a revival as one of the top dogs for a while.

That one i have to deny.
While there is seperate threads, we pretty much merge them.
And just discuss stuff where the most activity is at the moment.
Generaly they are used universaly
AIM-9D was also undodgeable under 1.5 km from direct rear aspect. Something that would not come until R-60 and more modern missiles, where flares were required and you couldn’t outmanouver missiles anymore.
I played a lot of FGR.2 then, it was the best plane in the game.
Hey that’s my FGR video xD
Wait, Typhoon can Carry 4 Storm Shadows?? Nice
fair enough i only got it when SARH missiles were added and by then the radar was a buggy mess that could barely lock and the gun pod was near impossible to aim with
Magic II as well, is the UK tree the only one with AIM-9M, R-73 and Magic II? Suppose we’re missing the PL-8B’s and AAM-3 for the full collection.
Yeah i believe so, jag IS, bison, and obviously the various aircraft with 9ms
As if it wasn’t already broken…
They patched that pretty quickly and then the AIM 9D was the only top tier missile with a launch G overload.
FGR-2 was a menance when it was added and it was slowly nerfed and rebalanced so much so it was no faster on the deck than an F-4C/E and then Russia farmed them with the MiG 23
Actually for a long it was the only missile without a launch g overload. It came and went every other week, due to Gaijin’s poor version control though.

They also caged the seeker at the same time making any kind of manouvering shots a nightmare.
Sources correctly showed the Aim-9D of the time didnt have SEAM.
This was done before we received SARHM and made the FGR-2 harder to use
How about Aim-9L/I and Aim-9L/I-1?)))))

By which point the FGR.2 already had AIM-9G so it didn’t matter…
