U are wrong aim 9l has more range overall and uts better fir sniping shots due too less drag and more burn time
Also its almost never hit the 40g maybe 35
Correct me if im wrong but the seeker fov is bigger so it easier to flare even on close rear aspect
I agree overall p3 are better then 9l but its by any means not a justification for a br bump
It has a longer burning motor and less drag (not by much) yes, but the Python 3 has a larger and stronger motor even if it burns faster, and last I checked has superior overall range. Feel free to check the files and stats to prove me wrong.
Ingame it pulls up to 40Gs, and although the stat card G-loads aren’t always correct (cough R-3E pulls 11Gs not 10G), this time it is. If you’re checking in Tact-view, perhaps it was only pulling as many Gs as it needed to.
Same as the Aim-9L. It’s a larger FOV, but the rangeband is high, higher than most IR AAMs that lack IRCCM. However that seeker size is a trade off. In exchange for being more resistant to flares, it ends up seeing more of them with its wide view. Regardless, the Python 3 is still better than the Aim-9L in a rear aspect AAM launch setting, as it closes the gap faster and thus gains an advantage against the target via its closer distance and with factors such as rise-time taken into account.
I used to think the same, that was until I started using the Python 3 lately. It’s quite good for what it is, and it’s extremely potent in headons. Almost not one expects it for some reason, and it’s really good at snagging kills because of that. Along with the ability to kills enemies in their blind spots as well, as it reaches enemies lightning quick. I think the Netz is honestly fine where it’s at, and the Python 3 justifies its BR. (Ofc decompression and a CM fix would still be nice).
I just checked the stats and the p3 has slightly more overall energy but its heavier then the 9l by more then 30k (same drag)
I main israel and i love the p3 but in range the 9l is better
For gs just look at the magic that has cap of 35gs
Python berly hits that and it it does its out of energy very quickly
For fov the wide seeker is a downgrade with aim 9l less then 1 km on a mig 23 is nearly unflarable with afterburner but the p3 needs to get to 0.5km for it to be unflarable
Maybe u are very good with this missile but fact is most ppl thinks its not a justification for a br raise and im with them
U tell me what has more gap f16 with non irccm missiles vs f15c with 8 120 or mig 23 with all aspect and with good radar missiles
Also just a reminder k2k is the same br as mig 21 bison
