JAS39C (South africa, in Britain tree)

then give it aim 120.

besides theres the premium F18 at 12.7 which has a close in performance missile and far more of them, its a better plane as its not relying on the aim 9b of fox 3s.

id even say the 12.3 hornet can outplay the SA gripen pretty easy

Define whats a “close-in performance missile” because i played both AIM-7Ps and Derbys and theres day and night difference.

they dont randomly lose track like the sharter does. Genuinley I do better with aim 9M than the darter

Russian main will tell you how R-77 is worse missile in the game nothing come close when it actually R-darter is worse missile in the game.

until the typhoon came out i genuinley would just take the harrier GR7 to top tier as it handled it far better with the amount of CM and being able to VIFF

Dunno what to tell you.

If you said that Derbys/Darter have weird flight trajectory, yea i can see that, but never had issue with Derbys randomly losing lock, if anything they kept it the same as amraams.

Maybe even better on Kfir because the AESA radar at least work when compared to Captor-M, lmao.

Worst fox3* the fireflash is the worst missile in game

The Gripen radar isn’t the Captor-M (criminal what gaijin did to the captor), The Gripen uses the PS-05. Anyway the R-Darters seem to have the chaff resistance of an R-3R or decide that the air is a better target than the plane you sent them at.

I know, i was reffering to EFT.

Any practical difference between Darter and Derby?

their trajectory while tracking isnt awful. they just lose concentration on anything like when you hold a phone in front of a brainrotted toddler. sometimes targets haven’t even needed to chaff, just fly in a straight line to escape them

their weak range also makes them hardly worth taking over a 9m which you can do a stealthier launch with too.

Gripen doesn’t use a captor radar btw, that would make it worse lmao. Somehow the C&Pd blue vixen and made it handle worse.

I know, i was reffering to EFT.

Unless theres factual difference between darters and derbys, doesnt sound like my experience with Kfir C10

Which C variant should have upgraded MK IV version of it it non AESA upgrade version

may genuinley just be a better radar and datalink on the Kfir giving the missile a better chance in the first couple seconds if the derby is the same missile in entirety. The PS 05 is a pretty mid radar so may just be this

Possibly. Maybe do a testflight comparison?

the Derby and R-Darter are slightly different in game but I can’t remember how

cant really tell too much when your target is a slow flying MIG 15 honestly so I cant really get anything good from a quick check.

The new optimal lead indicator for missiles is really damn nice tho, may help with a lot of launch issues for anything beyond sidewinder range

Well im always willing to run some tests in customs.

They are the same missile with different name like AMRAAM in Swedish Gripen called RB99 (AIM-120A)

All Gripen C MS20 models aside from SAAF should using MK.IV while SAAF MS19 has the MK.III
