General playtest of air-to-air missiles with ARH Seekers (FOX-3)

What gaijin should do, when they add the Active Radar Homing is by reducing the player count in teams from 16 v16 to 8v8 or 6v6, because currently it hard to focus on multiple fronts at the same time from different directions, the maps size can be same, but the player count should be lowered.

What? Why are you launching any IR missile head-on?
9L sees flares far easier while being less maneuverable. 9L is significantly worse than Magic 2.

I love how it plays with fox 3 if there were 10v10 or 8v8 matches, it was brilliant

I can assure you that 9L is overall better than those MAGIMP-2,…

But i guess i didn’t read your post,…

Dude, I’ve used both extensively. Magic 2 is far superior.

The main thing that 9L is superior to the Magic 2 is range.

And thats pretty much it.

So after 10 matches which played exactly the same as on normal server MY opinion (some of it do not belong in this threat):

  1. ARH do not change a thing, if you get killed by them you would get killed by Skyflash
  2. I would rather take more IR and only one ARH than use all ARH
  3. The new auto changing of modes for tracking is not good (sometimes it changes to normal in headon and than tracks chaff)
  4. Smaller maps would be better for the test, because we are still having to fly for 2 min before we are in range (by in range I mean under 25km of seperation, (because over it you cannot hit someone who is not alt tabed))

“Extensively” he said,…
“Extensively” huh?
Who is the “extensive” one? huh?

so,… when i do say that Magic-2 is worse than a 9L, i feel like i have far enough experience to told you that from my PoV it is.
i’m not saying that the margin is wide though,… but it is 9L that beat MAGIMP-2’s

@LuaJa - i already explainned my point higher in this thread,…

Get better with Magic 2s then.
Magic 2s see less flares and are better maneuvering…

Flase,… IRCCM doesn’t have it’s Seeker shut-off feature like 9M, and Current IFOV is too wide.

It’s not too wide for R-73, and it’s not too wide for Magic 2s either.
No-escape range exceeding 2.5km rear aspect against AB targets.

Who is still afterburning after they see the missile? Newbs? Premiums newbs?

I mean, you’re funny to think that anyway,…
As bug reports of Magic-2’s seeker shut off feature and IFOV exists.

Yes, I saw the Magic 2 bug report the week it was put up on the bug report site.
Doesn’t change any of what I said.

LOL US get only AIM-120A the oldest fox3 among the other

i do believe we need to limit nations aircraft to what that nation actually has purchased otherwise we will end up with r73 on the german mig 21 because the soviets tested it 1 time

I’m not as knowledgeable on missiles as some but they are seemingly adding the MICA EM, which is similar to the AAM-4A?

Also Gaijin please start adding 2 airfields to Air RB. Having each team originate from one point on the map makes everything predictable and stale.

Oh, yes its name is AIM-120A, but the performance in the dev server is definite not like a 120A, it’s more like a placeholder.
