Su-27 and other jets are not in the game, we cant say whether it is good or bad. Until they are added to the game, we can talk about it
Early Su-27s have inferior radars
oh hey the rolands are getting buffed
, i am only researching the flakrakrad right now, but definitly intresting and better that i get to try out an improved version

still not a buff
they still have shit new SACLOS model since the SACLOS change
I mean if they are straight C&P Aim-54, they dont work well at low alt right? Im not expecting Aim-120Bs to be stellar but at least useable against targets at low alt. So fingers crossed they wont be that bad. But yeha, hoping theyll be good in SB
Gee I wonder if that is why it’s a lower BR?
I know. I just like to tease you :)
any positive change is a buff, if the missle behaves better that is good
just like the br raise of the object 279 is only a minor nerf and it still is playable

Atleast they will be better than skyflashes
Run for your life he tends to get very angry when you mention the Bias UFO
Remember how they made skyflash? Copy Paste E2. It’s going to be the same or very similar thing IMO, and the AMRAAM will only be capable at high alt, or at least need to be launched high/lofted to work, I don’t think they will be able to intercept a low target apart from at a high angle from above
Hanging out hte cockpit and using a pistol to shoot down eneny planes would be better than the Skyflashes

Yeah, considering how everyone flies at 50ft in SB. Ive got some concerns, but Im hoping that with a good loft and a semi-top down attack profile on the missile, then they’ll get a few kills. If not, I’ll follow IRL tactics in the FA2 and sit at 30k ft
I wish I played sim but my controller does not really lend itself to having to bind individual planes and axis and then also adding in radar controls and free look. I’m almost out of radar controls let alone mapping the flight controls
Subsonic platform at high altitude isn’t exactly a good idea.
Hehe, I have a full HOTAS and sometimes find im lacking buttons and have many still bound to keyboard. But I can barely play ARB these days with third person and mouse and keyboard
only 21 to go.
Now only 20.
20 now
My setup basically means i have to stand to use it and i’m too lazy to change that, otherwise i’d buy a HOTAS and Keyboard and mouse etc. Currently debating making a switch to PC to solve all of that.
Was the IRL tactic. The FA2 was very fuel effecient and quite happy at that height and had the radar to back it up. In BVR, the extra alt gave it a clear advantage. Tornado F3s really struggled past 20k without full AB.
In game, Im not sure, with hte new RWR and maybe ECM it could be good to do. It really depends on radar modes and if we get some improved radar controls
I think it will be a lot better than SARHs in this aspect, as it has it’s on guidance radar, I think a lot of the SARH’s problems is that the guiding radar beam is affected by multipathing, and because the ARH has it’s own radar it’s going to see the target a lot clearer (I don’t know if this is how it works, just a speculation)
