Damage models are a entirely different discussion.
Magic II is much more reliable than what you make it out to be from my experience.
What you are describing might be AIM-9L territory.
F-5 which you will likely face a lot do of course have a different heat signature in game.
Well, Yeah, i’ve had an F-5 1 tap flare an Aim-9M when on full reheat in rear aspect at a range of about 2km. Their heat sigs are broken
My experience using them on something Mirage F1 against Mig-23MLs in Sim. Unless its a rear-aspect shot. Its 1 tap flare defeat. Same is the case for most IRCCM missiles in my experience. In anything other than rear-aspect. The IRCCM does nothing. Aim-9Ms are often easily defeated with a few flare drops when fired front aspect as well
SIM might be different in average launch ranges and the tragets you are firing at of course.
I usually play RB where you face many hot machines as a western aircraft.
2 km are a bit to ambitious against an F-5 of course.
Was in a Harrier Gr7, was as close as I could get.
AIM-9M is a different missile of course. Depending on the relative speed it might even have been kinematically defeated. Even so in rear aspect AIM-9M does not like being launched on longer ranges if the target is aware and defending.
So the F-117 RCS has been buffed (as it should), but what is the status of the heat signature?
Flying in a straight line on AB and dropping a flare is considered defending is quite scary. But I just blame it on the F-5 being the coldest known thing in the universe. vs most other targets that would have been a killshot without further effort from them to defend
He was aware and yes if you drop a single flare that is considered defending. No matter if it works or not.
Perhaps he knew about the range and speed difference and dropped a single flare to make sure, hm?
The heat signature is a problem of course. I’d wager the range was even more so in that situation.
Can we expect a Mirage 2000D RMV blog today?
You don’t have to answer directly. Which represents the situation best, croissant or baguette?
My nickname with some friends is Pierre Baguette, so I approve
Irl issue not much can be done than just wait. Current patch is more of a QOL one anyway. Next update we’ll be eating good
I think one of the leaks said EF coming next year so if German mains get their top tier fighter next patch it’ll have to be an F/A-18.
Either way, if it comes along with a juicy rank 8 premium then I might be a German main in no time ;)
Id doubt another German Premium aircraft following the one they are getting this major.
My money would be on Italy, Israel and France to get Rank 8 Premiums next update
premium spanish av8b plus for italy
its possible.
Now we’re talking.
Realistically I’d expect the Turkish F-4 AMRAAMs slinger. Or didn’t they have that?
AV-8B+ would be better, Premium rank 8 AMRAAM slinger + premium CAS for GRB all in one package, its a good add
maybe even the romanian mig 21 lancer but i bet on the harrier
@gromvoiny about the Su-22M4 WTD61 Pre-Order, when do you guys add/show us the pre-order skin?
Or can you say which one is the pre-order one if its on the list
@Morvran with Swiss F/A-18C addition in the next update we can safely assume that Germany will get their rank 8 premium. “What premium is even possible” you might ask, well there’s Greek F-4E AUP which (simply put) is an F-4F ICE++ with same radar, same missiles but also improved with LITENING II, LGBs, tri-rack AGM-65 and new cockpit with HUD.
