FOX-3: Active Radar Homing Missiles

yeah no

I could maybe see your point if gaijin acrtually made us use the entire map, but god no,

personally not a fan of trying to scan for 5 aircraft firing missiles at me while dogfighting another

when i play air RB im acutally happy when i get an EC map, teams hella more spread out

tbh i dont see the point in playing such a non match defining jet.
the Radars are acting up these days, this thing only has 2 ERs and you cant do the rlly satisfying long range shots anymore with any consistency…
and ofc the missile spam and 16v16 cancer…

i rlly hope it gets the Aim-9Li or the Aim-9Li-1

Yes, but no helmet mounted sight, and poor flight performance. These are not like AIM-9Ms on an F-16.

Silent Su-27SM announce. Look at IRST.

F-18A maybe, the F/A-18F, Typhoon and Rafale are comign later this year at the earliest, probabally december patch if i had to guess

Hopefully my SU39 gets the R77 or anything else it should have so i can use it sometimes. Mostly i get Kills with this thing are Gun Kills

@Stona_WT Will AAM-4 get it’s unique stealth on RWR feature?
And what about the second most important question about FOX-3 implementation - team sizes?
One of the next devblogs will be about it specifically or…?

That’s all for today?

i believe team sizes were halved after some feedback on dev, down to 6v6, or 8v8

idk, i didnt play, the game was too laggy

What? The meta loadout of the 29G is 6x R-73s. I never once used radar missiles on the 29G and never will when the IR missiles matter more.

@Godvana
Mirage 4000 has no HMD yet is the 2nd best jet in the game.
And its drag was increased shortly after release.

@asd072
I doubt AAM-4 has what you allege.

I think the F-15C is pretty likely for this update. Seeing as the F-15 in the picture of the devblog is visually slightly different from every other F-15 currently in game.

nah its the f15a

Nope slightly different visual model.

Most of the new jets will be copy-pastes of previous ones but with TWS and ARH, come on it was obvious long before this blog

how so? I cannot see any major differences

I would rate the F-16C above the Mirage 4000, but in any case, it blows the F-4F out of the water flight performance wise.

Which is why you avoid dogfights, and instead boom & zoom if you get WVR.
Pretty much what Mig-29SMT pilots have been needing to do, but the F-4F ICE gets 2 more missiles.
