Alternatively, the AIM-9P4 as a middle ground that would be far more dodgable due to the shorter range/lower agility but still offer a powerful enough option

Thats mostly in RB, where the Instructor completely messes up the handling of the plane. Any minor movement of the mouse will make the instructor throw the control surfaces into full deflection, bleeding all your energy away. If you fly it in sim with a HOTAS and all instructor aids turned off, it actually feels a lot better than the brick it is in RB.
A few other planes suffer from this issue, namely the A-4 family and Su-27s.

whilst that is true, that would make all the Su-25 players cope since the Su-25 either gets R-60, or R-60M. Nothing in between.
The soviet equivelant to the AIM-9P-4, the R-14 missile, was only ever tested on the early MiG-29 prototypes before being cancelled in favor of the R-73.

And AB, sadly. I would love to see the ability to keep mouse aim but remove the instructor, or just have them fix it for those aircraft. I might try getting a joystick and taking some aircraft out for a spin in AB, though. Honestly the MA/Full Real control difference needs to be changed, maybe with artifical MA buffs to not screw up aircraft like the Draken.

gaijin is already keen on making the a10 the same br as the late su25s so just give the 9p4 then make it ~10.7
What do you think mouse aim exactly IS?

it is well due that drakens get a proper balance, it was impossible to play against a single clever Draken even in a mirage 2000, all you could hope is them giving you their tail for an ensured missile strike. And when you managed to gun them down they would just get a single hit.

The easiest one I can think of is the F-1.
Identical performance to the T-2, which can also have a hard time at 9.7, but it gets 2 extra missiles.
Compared to the other flareless 10.3s
J-35D has 2 more missiles than the F-1 and a substantially better flight performance
F-104J also has 2 more of the same missile but with higher top speed and better acceleration to give it better survivability despite the lack of countermeasures.
J35A used to be overpowered at 9.7 but is nowhere close to that anymore and at 10.3+ the J35s are just OK jets. They don’t need nerfs currently.
Nah this was whoever in the M2K flying poorly. Nothing else. M2K shit stomps J35.
