Prove that any of them are Viggens that carry 6x IR missiles.
I’ll wait.
9Ms aren’t at 11.0.
Jaguar is transonic.
F-1C is inferior to Viggen in airframe, being arguably under-BR’d but has only 2 Magic 2s.
9Ls would make it 11.3, that or we make F-4EJ Kai 11.3 based on your recommendation.
Kurnass 2000 goes to 11.0.
So on and so forth.
9Ls and R-73s are not bad… LOL!
Dude, you shouldn’t have discredited yourself.
All of then get a maximun of 2 missiles with irccm, and from all of them only the f1c have a performance close to the viggen, but unlike the viggen its semi active missile is can be chaffed, so basically have only two missiles. Not to mention that the the magic 2 is relatively short range, and cab be flared easily at range and in frontal aspect.
It’s really outraging, they made this plane so it’s just fodder to all the front aspect missiles.
It really needs those front or all aspect missiles to counter those pesky Mig-23M
Why do you think the JA37D exists?
How? It’s easy to avoid any front aspect you can face in the JA37C
Oh my lord you think this jet is worse than the MiG-23M/MF! Good for you! (You are hilariously wrong) (try flying the MiG-23M/MF bud)
I’m stock, with it, just unlocked the rear aspect RBJ24 or something, the R24R are not easy to lose bruh!
I’ll see when the plane is spaded but for a long time I was mostly fodder to them.
They are BR 12 bruh!
This doesn’t matter regarding avoiding missiles. You have flares stock. You only need to notch radar missiles and/or stay lower until you have chaff.
They are if you UNDERSTAND the game mechanics.
Yes! And yet the ONLY difference is 9Ls! Do you see why you won’t get 9Ls on a 11.3 JA37C?
Blockquote This doesn’t matter regarding avoiding missiles. You have flares stock. You only need to notch radar missiles and/or stay lower until you have chaff.
Bruh you need chaff for those and even like this it wasn’t easy. Flares don’t do anything.
Also I’m pretty new to jets, only 3 weeks in and stuck with the J35XS until then.
All tips are welcome, thanks.
No, you don’t.
You only said “all aspect missile” so you’re forcing me to guess whether you mean radar missiles or all aspect IR missiles. That is why I said you get flares stock (for the IR missiles).
my first tip is to not make uneducated guesses at how mechanics work, see:
Do you mean SARH are sensible to flares or that you can shake them off just with acrobatics or you just want to be disagreeable ?
Anw, unlocked the R71 yesterday night and I really enjoy this jet now, it’s really refreshing after the J35XS, very dynamic.
If you fly in multipathing range (below 60m altitute) it becomes significantly easier to break lock from radar missiles, notching can be used as an alternative, but is best coupled with a chaff drop
Thanks for the advice!
Question, can the JA37C fire it’s 2 R71 at once on 2 different targets?
No not at two different targets, it requires a hard lock until the missile hits its target, then you can change to a different target
I mean that both multipathing and notching are available as tactics without needing chaff as a prerequisite.
Lol lmao even. AIM-9Js are stupidly easily to flare and have a pathetically low burn time. I’d rather take AIM-9Ds and Gs over them any day of the week. Once you’re out of RB 71s you’re stuck with an aircraft having missiles that can be decoyed without virtually no difficulty, has subpar flight performance and cannons that are unpredictable except at near point blank range. Also the Viggen C was at 11.3 for years until the new update. If getting back there involves getting AIM-9Ls then it’s a good move.
Read the date the post was made.
Today it would go to 12.0 if it received AIM-9Ls, not 11.3.
JA37D is 12.0 and has BOL. So i dont think it would be 12.0, could always just add RB72 and RB73 and see how gaijin balances them. (This is a meme, R24T with IRCCM and a prototype Meteor missile is what the RB72 and 73 are. Though they are very old lol)
Realistically if the JA37C didn’t have it AoA limited it could be a bit better. As it stands right now its a glorified missile bus. 2 Skyflash at 11.3 is nice but id honestly just go play the Mig 21Bis at 11.0 since i personally find the Viggens to be pretty meh. The C is alright but not really interesting imo. Once the skyflash are gone the RB24J leave a lot to be desired at times.
