wouldn’t be denied.
you think it would but people would just mess with angular position of radar and get a lock on solution through that function.
The average top tier player isn’t good enough to do that. It will also take more time to do that compared to locking with HMD.
What aspects? It’s not as good rear aspect, but I’ve found it to be incredibly powerful from top/side/bottom aspects. Seeker shutoff seems to be way more consistent for me, but that might also just be how I play.
Why nerf Russia/Soviets because France is too powerful?
Front and rear-aspect are the angles Im usually wanting to fire as Ive had more than a few Aim-9Ms kinematically fail to hit a target flying perpindicular, though I do agree, the IRCCM usually works quite well if you can establish a good shot
Fairness. I agree, its probably not needed, but if we remove HOBS from the Rafale, then it would probably only be fair to do the same for the soviets, Though again, where hte Rafale would not suffer even slightly, the Su-30 probably would.
High speed and alt advantage side aspect shots are my favorite

Simple answer is that I never actually played the mk24 alongside my squadmate. My mk24 isn’t even upgraded totally, so no shit it performed poorly. If you want to see what aircraft I played with my squadmate, you should look at something similar that was released around the same time but with slightly reduced performance. :^)
This is a great example of why stats aren’t the best litmus test, and profile stalkers always get things out of context.

So they should give the Su30’s dogshit R60s and Who knows what radar missile?
Good to know we haven’t just lost it.
That would explain the differences between the Eurofighters (if the sample size is relevant)
I feel like statistically the chance of an 80% difference with a sample size of a couple hundred happening randomly is almost zero.
Also I feel like it says a lot that the Rafale is so dominant right now it’s significantly affecting the winrates of OTHER aircraft.
