Maybe tech mods can do something. Cause 4km IR lock range is AIM-9b level from 1957 or something (rear aspect though). There should be probably an improvement to 2025 and a 5th gen IR missile.

If you believe this modern missile can see past 4km and if you bug report it, you’ll get hit with the classic:
Remember to buy premiums guys.
That’ll teach them a lesson.

Um… actually, during yesterday’s testing with my friends, compared to the previous 10 kilometer infrared capture distance, the current 4 kilometers seem less likely to be evaded by flares once the guidance head is turned on to track the aircraft
When facing an airplane, if he is very vigilant and immediately enters low altitude upon discovering “IRS” on RWR, it may be difficult for him to obtain the lethal killing ability in this version
Can somebody explain what this change exactly means ? Im not sure i understand it.
So that means if i break LOS to the radar, while the missile is still more than 4km away it will just miss ?
if you change your fly direction, yes
Alright, thank you.

Nerfs to IRIS-T to the point of making it borderline unusable
Adds premium Su-30 that’s 0.3BR lower (12.3) than the Su-27SM (12.7) while being nearly identical and worse for CAS/CAP.
Odds of Su-30 premiums seeing SLM and other AAs go down by atleast 50%
Cha ching, shakalaka, see all the money pour in baby.

I’m almost 100% sure that’s exactly what they thought.
I think in the last patch of the year they’ll revert this if they keep talking about it on the forum; they need to give CAS some time to buy the Su-30
The saddest part is that I can only shoot down drones and helicopters that aren’t level 13.7 with the Iris-T because it’s so useless now. I tried to catch a Rafale that was flying high, and even then it went into the trees and I lost the lock, The missile is already slow, the radar is kind of bad and buged, and they’re still nerfing it
Either Gaijin had no faith in their RU main player base or they seriously under BR’d the Su-30MK to squeeze sales, and both are equally likely. Corb already showed you can drop nukes with the Su-30 in less than 5 minutes, I keep hearing TV guided Kh-29s and Kab TV bombs are bad, but that’s clearly not the case.
And now with excuse that “We decreased the lock range to 4 km to aid against LDIRCM” as a thinly veiled nerf to IRIS-T, instead of ACTUALLY FIXING THE PROBLEM, which is LDIRCM over performing in all areas. It’s downright mind boggling. This is almost as bad as the marketing lie fiasco.

Well Germany is still op
Yeah 43% winrate in October, no new FnF heli, still only laser brimstones, now nerfed SPAA. Truly OP.
But I’m sure the new Tornado with 4 HOSBO (3 if you want to bring a pod) will come in clutch…

Great so Germany has one good thing which is a ridiculously nerfed tank. They must be truly op then
Turret basket, nato hump, grossly underperforming armor, Ammunition from 2001.
2020s missile with the lockrange of a 70s manpad
CAS plane with glorified hellfires
ARB fighter with 6 incredibly mid amraams guided by a 13.3 radar.
Yep truly sounds like a force to be reckoned with
