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

Yeah but it doesn’t stop people calling them Fox-3s - Gaijin used terminology familiar with most people, not the most accurate term.

So no JAS39A allowed? rip Sweden

cheetah used the r darter, and the gripen doesnt have BVRAAM (i assume BVRAAM is Fox 3)

They meant to equip their Gripens with R-Darters, but they never got actually went through with that. The Gripen C is however certified to carry the R-Darters

Otherwise, they can just add AMRAAMs to the SAAF Gripen, just like they added Skyflashes to it

How long can we expect this play test to be open for? I have a busy weekend and would like to know the time frame of this test.

Mega Hype

The same length as the dev server. Until the 5th.

Mica…

We have had many discussions about the Fox3 before, and everyone agrees that the R77 will be more balanced with AIM-120 C5 instead. However, Gajjin continues the nightmare for most nation that do not use R77 as they did with the R27ER.

R77 really isnt that crazy though its all the minor nations that have the good missiles

Do we know if they plan to add MICAs to the M4K, I hope the M2K isnt the only French jet getting MICAs in the next major update

This aged real well, consider how PL-12 was somehow made to be the worse of the three by gaijin

ARH cannot and will not work in 16v16.
You need to reduce the size of the matches down to maximum of 8v8.

Now MICA needs balancing, also has anyone tried derby?

Also make the matches respawnable, otherwise it will be too boring 8v8 (ehm EC RB)

I love that the jets that can use ARH Missile do have them and can use them and I really think they should be added into war thunder but I think maybe if the Air RB Lobby size can’t be lowered then just made a different game mode with less people on a operation map. Allow Sim Battles to have them at default please. Too summarize what I think should happen IS Lower Player Numbers with FOX 3 capability with BIGGER Maps but games with no FOX 3’s can stay the same. Thank you, also side note the Swedish need their own FOX 3 and own Air to Ground Missiles its stupid that other Jets that are the exact same don’t share the same armament.

More likely they’ll increase both team size and maps.

I know right! But I think the Devs are gonna Listen and Heed our calls or they’ll just not add it.

ARBEC is the minimum acceptable game mode for 2024 to be honest. Current ARB is a 10 year old zombie betatest. They should really just look at DCS and copy their homework while keeping 3rd person view and instructor.

having the c5 with the r77 is like having the r27er with the 7m lol. the amraam currently has a better tti than the r77 at most ranges so theres no reason to complain
