THey need to replace the Jagaur with the Tornado as well at top tier for that.

Agreed
Yep I’ve seen those, I exactly where you got those from. I even have one of them saved in my photos for when I explain the Python 4 to some people haha.

Its going to be in the top bracket against all the 13.7 fighters in Ground SB. Having 9Ms as a defensive measure there is worthwhile.
Nope, the ALE-40 currently only has the Standard sized, basic 1x1" M206 (30 units per dispenser) flare mounted in the MJU-11 Chaff / Flare Magazine.
It should also have access to the MJU-12 and MJU-17 Magazines (the modern ALE-40 uses a modular buckets design) which would respectively add alternate 1x2" MJU-7 (15 units per dispenser) and 2x2" MJU-10 (6 units per dispenser) Flares.
Further access to later Flare compositions which are more effective against IRCCM seekers and Kinetic (uses off gasses to retain some momentum, resisting spatial IRCCM) or Covert (No Visual report during burn so doesn’t give obvious clues if pre-flaring) variants, for the various sizes.
It’s only going to go against 13.7 if it gets the Aim-9Ms (and a BR of 12.7 ofc, maybe they’ll slap it al 12.3 who knows…). It’s currently 11.7 on the dev server, meaning 12.7 is the max it can face.
Irrelevant. 9Ms would ruin it for air RB, Russians dream of the F-111F having 9Ms so they can easily kill them.
That and AMRAAMs are expensive to spawn in ground RB.
9Ms would also make it 12.x for ground RB as well…
Womp womp then, time to go cry ig
Lol yeah the blog was weirdly concerned with Indian flankers and R-73s
Did they give the 111F 240cm in the dev server update?
BR is irrelevant in Ground SB matches. Its armament and flight performance characteristics mean it will only be available in the 11_2 GSB lineup.
I mean how could they not be. It was overhyped as the best dogfighting missile in the world and that with HMD any western aircraft was no match, and the days of longer dogfights were over the second it was off the rail. (Reality was not exactly like that tho lol)
But leave it to the Israelis to see their enemies get something cool, then make something even cooler.
Like man Israel was so based for this
Thrust Vectoring, wat that? Add more control surfaces instead raahhhhhh!!!

I don’t think so. Don’t think we’ve ever used them.
Found an article mentioning they were fitted to the f18
“This has also been mounted on an RAAFF-18 for form and fit trials.”
But it doesn’t seem like they were ever used. The same article mentions aim9 X was potential consideration and considering we use those now I’m guessing that was the extent of things.
Bro that is a NUCLEAR MISSILE.
Pls pretty please gaijin 🥺🙏
Good thing i didnt mention ARB.
It is going to face 13.7 fighters whether it has 9Ls or 9Ms. You tell me which one gives it the best defensive options.
Good thing i didnt mention GRB.
My only interest in these aircraft is as an option for GSB. Giving it 9Ms gives it the best performance possible there. It is not going to be in the 10_2 bracket regardless of 9Ls or 9Ms. 11_2 is going to have the best fighters ingame for the rest of time, and is going 5o be the only place to play it in GSB.

What can I say, double duck missiles were in back then

Great example of great minds thinking alike
No it won’t.
11.7 means a maximum of 4 12.7 players in a ground RB match.
I’ve seen exactly 1 12.7 match when playing 11.7 recently, and their 12.7 didn’t spawn their aircraft.

That may be the case for the F-111F, but the F-111C was capable of carrying AIM-9L/M on stations 3A and 6A:
I’m not talking about, nor do I care about fwiw, GRB
How many ways do i need to spell GSB GROUND SIM BATTLES for you to understand, it will always face end of line fighters there, in 11_2 lineup.
