I also have many questions about the Su-27’s FM in the game, it seems to be wrong somewhere
Here what? İts a common knowledge that in game Aim-9M performs better then R-73 at medium to long range range because of having better IRCCM.
well…
Not, R73 IRCCM just better, AIM 9M strong because furball meta.
oh yes
Yes, but these are short-range missiles, not medium-range. The medium-range IR is R-27T/ET
Oh you thought you can just sling R27ER and get a easy kill every single time? İ got bad News for you buddy…
Tell me you have no idea what you’re talking about without telling me you have no idea what your talking about.
R73’s IRCCM works by reducing the fov, Aim-9M’s IRCCM simply shuts off seekers head as soon as it detects any other ir signature and keeps guiding missile to last known position.
Thats why both R73 and Magic-2’s can easily flareable in side,head-on and even rear aspect depending on speed while Aim-9M performs much better.
They have problems with the geometry of the aircraft. Not like with FM
You know those missiles are based on SARH missiles that can reach 50-100km right? İn average furball scenarios medium range will be usually 2-4km.
Well, in general, when introducing the R-73, questions arise. Since the mechanism for selecting moving targets has not been implemented. The autopilot is still broken. TVC also works very strangely and this is not only a problem with the R-73
R-27T/ET IR-missile not SARH
İm very well aware that R73 has its own issues and waiting for proper fixes for that, but until then Aim-9M will stay best missile in general performance.
Yes, currently R-73 TVC is something in betwen on working and doing a 720° backflip and dying.
“Based on”, guess you missed that part.
You’re trying to hype up the AIM-9M IRCCM, I’ll upload a video to show how poorly the 9M’s IRCCM works when you know how it operates, soon. I’ll respond within 2 hours.
İ can also upload cherrypicked footage that shows how R73’s misses one of the easiest targets.
Try harder please.
Oh no, two different modifications were originally created, one SARH and the other IR


Does both missiles have same motor rocket,same body shape,same fin designs and same general aspects?
This is what im talking about when i said its based on.
No, he is not.
R-73 and Magic 2 IRCCM works better at close range, lets say 1.5/1.0 km, while AIM-9M and AAM-3 IRCCM works better at long range and side on.
Yes, but they are somewhat different aerodynamically R-27T is worse
Thats fair since they are not compeletly same design.
So in that case its basically; yes but no situation.
Slightly worse
