Guys… Massively of topic here, it’s better if you continue in PM or go to the threads of the other vehicles/nations to discuss those things.

Probably anti radiation missiles. Kh31p and its modernized variants are leagues ahead of whatever the west has currently (all I can think of is alarm/harm)
Truth
Fat doubt otherwise russia wouldnt be so completely terrible at SEAD/DEAD and its not like the HARM didnt get modernized multiple times
You are more than welcome to give examples against it but so far youve never done that no matter how much you shrieked BIAS
Ya, I don’t get why this PLA_J16 guy started rage baiting people. Some really should be barred from posting here.
Okay here, I inquired if this report got “fixed” as I suspected it was the reason for the change for the seeker turning on at 4km instead of 10km.

Few minutes later the report got labeled fixed:
So allegedly this change was to prevent the SLM from switching target during mid-flight.
Let’s get pitch forks going for Devil06 /s

I would rather not D:
I will have to check it tho. Not sure how changing seeker activation range would fix DL changing targets, but maybe it did.

Presumably the fov of the IRIS-T at 4km would be too small frontally for anything to distract it, like a munition.
But the thing is, it was changing targets before the seeker activated.
Bug report I made was separate to the one changing in the terminal phase.
That one was made by someone else.
Link to said report?
I don’t have it, will have to look, but you can see mine issue on the video attached, target deploys it’s ordnance 15km away, and it is instantly switched, even when the seeker is still not show as active on the radar screen.
Is it still not the case that even if the main issue is that the radar itself is switching target, reducing the seeker activation range to 4km still solves this issue? The fired ordnance would have been past the SLM’s missile at the time of seeker activation.
No, as when the target is switched, it changes the 4km zone too. It switches the tracked target to a for example bomb, and it switches the seeker activation range to bomb position, the plane can do 180 and the missile will not care, it will act like it was always aimed at a bomb.
I hope this graphic makes it clear (edited for the current range)

hey mythicpi any news on this bug
The guidance type phase that changes targeting from plane to ordinance is not IR, its the DL phase. By reducing the range at which IR was activated they are prolonging the DL phase during which the guidance can be broken by dropping a SDB/500lbs/etc. bomb, firing off FFARs/Zunis/etc. or firing off any type of a missile.
Effectively this is a nerf by making the currently existing bug with DataLink (on more than just the SLM) switch over more often and easier by extending the time the missile is in this bugged DL phase. Previously with 10km as soon as the seeker went IR it wouldnt be affected by this “spoofing” and planes like Su30s couldnt break the lock anymore by firing off 7 trillion missiles.
Additionally because SLM has only got 4 DL channels, by getting a missile to lock on the plane sooner meant your able to divert your attention to other targets as that one was already autonomous.
If they had actually atleast fixed the problem thats in DL phase then the reduction in IR range would have been less of an issue.
This is basically gaijin stealing your cake and eating it too, while youre stuck there, cakeless and about to explode
Im pretty sure they “balance” vehicles on vehicles stats and not on nation winrate.
Maybe because no new prem Su30 free meals? We know who have the most wallet warrior lane up at those BR right? Right?
We do it’s literally from Saab yet gaijin still to this day ignore it as a source
