@Morvran decided to play the F-5A(G)-40 and i can confirm even with broken fingers its still insanely good (until the CM nerf with the next update lol) Penguin is good at making players think someone is climbing, baited a Mig 23ML into trying to climb and R24R my Penguin lmao. Colt MK.12 say hallo, definitely a good vehicle and a contender for the best 11.0 on sweden…huh thats pretty sad oh well
I doubt we will be getting those anytime soon hahahah
I mean, we got literal Eurofighters capped with 9Ms that were never mounted on them instead of 9Xs or IRIS-Ts, so I can already imagine stuff like even F-22 still capped to 9Ms as well.
china should recive the PL-8B at the same time israel recives the Python-4, for the ones who dont know the PL-8B also uses a 4 element seeker like the PL-9, PL-5E-II, TY-90, Magic-2. in the Python-4 and AAM-3 case both are still using the good old 2 element seeker from the 80s i mean its not bad but its not the newest technology either, in terms of IRCCM technology the PL-8B, PL-5E-II, TY-90, PL-9 even the Magic-2 are more advanced but we know that gaijin likes to implements IR missiles in a way that is more family friendly to us… soo… we could see them soon and like smin said we should not expect “Any MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS any time soon” but this does not mean that we couldn´t see some of the last 4Gen IR missiles between of what we have now and what its going to come in the future it seems really logic to add the last batch of 4 gen IRs now in march or in may/june before we goes full 5gen IIR in december or much likely next year.
PS: PL-8B is fully produced in china with chinese components and technology, also the engine was upgraded too increasing its range to 20-25km soo… it doesn´t keep the single stage solid propellant engine from the old Python-3, and also features the PL-9 style all-aspect InSb seeker and a programmable digital processor, which offers a wider off-boresight angle. its a really cool missiles and a really improved one because the only thing it keeps from the old Python-3 is the body haha.
