being able to outroll a missile is insulting. Be it sparrows or PL12s.
This isnt AIM9B where a little movement makes it lose track, they should be capable of not getting bamboozled by a corkscrew when they have a direct line of sight within no escape zone or slightly past no escape zone.

PL-12/SD-10a and PL-12a are in no way so lackluster in terms of their overload capability in real life.
its just absurd that the OEM would market it as a dogfight missile yet it in WT it just isnt capable of dogfighting (reminder, analysts compared base PL-12 to amraam C performance in terms of range so its not even an early generation Fox-3, its pretty advanced)
Hopefully this also improves R-77 high altitude performance.

were extremely limited in range and were single-band…
the AGM-45B-10 that’s in the files has a multi-band seeker that’s E to I band iirc
So, hopefully a BR increase for the F-14s or are they just going back to being OP?
That is literally the perfect example of imbalance…

they got a pretty noticeable thrust nerf i wouldnt be worried unless your camping at 12000M
Base R-77 or R-77-1?
Unlike the latter, the grid fins will still neuter the R-77’s performance.
Grid fins aren’t airbrakes. They create more drag, but not to the point of completely neutering the missile. If dynamic lift is gonna be modelled, then dynamic drag should be as well
Realistically pilots weren’t supposed to use the r27 under 2000m
realistically, those are R-73 ranges
also realistically, R-27 can still perform
It’s a start, but it’s not nearly enough to calm the community down.
This is likely incorrect and it just free falls.
Meteor?
Cool, should be a nice AMRAAM buff
Another gimmick that will never be fully implemented.
Cool, ok

Cool devblog, and I don’t think Gaijin gets enough credit for all the work they’ve been doing on new mechanics but is there any news on Exocet missile being added into the game?

Hopefully opening the road for it, altough in this specific paragraph of the devblog I think it refers to things like the Kh-31.
Yeah, but gotta be sooner rather than later
So should bigger maps, especially if the Meteor is a possible “near” addition.
Something as big as the NUKE thunder map should be standard by now.

We’ve needed bigger maps for about 3 years.
Yeah, it should be
