The Alpha Jets are ludicrously better than both the T-2 and F-1 as they have flares, CCIP for rockets and bombs and the later one gets all-aspects missiles, there’s no point in using T-2 and F-1 doesn’t even have a lineup.
Their BRs should be lowered as they’re pretty much only half-viable for CAP as their flight models won’t do any favors in GRB, maybe even give the F-1 a countermeasure pod. The lack of CM make it so all you can effectivelly do is fly around the map to avoid the missile AAs and spawn camp their air spawn. Sure you can take rocket pods for makeshift flares but they work only when heading towards the missile and it kills the already bad maneuverability.
honeslty it’s first because I think the missile is physically and arguably beautiful and since most of the future OP’s missiles are already considered…
And as well I want Gaijin to take another look at anti-ship missiles because they are fucked up; another relase would be benefic, they are forced to repair thoses
(excuse for the english, I am currently drunk)
With USA getting aim120D, Japan should have gotten the AAM4B alongside. The AAM4B will have less range but better tracking. We already have aesa radars in the game so i don’t think it would game breaking.
We already have it, depending on how you look at it.
The current AAM-4 doesn’t have the right textures, instead it uses AAM-4B textures
AAM-4B AESA seeker on the current in-game missile
Now of course textures don’t make a missile, but in this case performance lines up too, at least as far as the game is concerned. AAM-4B aside from the seeker is equal to the AAM-4, while the AESA seeker is a feature missing from all ESA missiles currently like the Type 81C ARH missile or the Type 03 missile, so as far as the current implementation goes we technically have AAM-4B.
Still missing mach 4.5 and again Gaijin is late on adding AESA seeker just like they added F2 late. They can’t think they fixed Japan top tier air by just adding a su30sm. If they’re fixing USA top tier, they need to fix japan top tier air too. If Micas got a better seeker for having a shorter nerfed range, I don’t see a problem with AAM4 getting a better seeker too. And japan only gets 4 aam4B so what’s so game breaking about that too? Gaijin should just add the B alongside the aim120d or right after.
i guess so? probably, i forgot. all i remember is that AAM-4 somehow fly shorter and pull harder than AIM-120, which is pretty weird since it got similar body with AIM-7
