Doesn’t AIM-120C have a tighter pull?
No. It’s like complaining that a nation isn’t getting a light tank it could get, and someone says that it’s because irl there was no doctrine for it- while there is actually irl options it could get ingame, but then it is deemed that “it would be too good”.
I said one of the better F35s not the best, and beside only the US would have that
Like I said, the potential for an Indian F-35A with ASRAAM and Meteor would be very interesting
Since the new leaklist is now here, I want to create a new poll. Which rumored aircraft will be the most competitive?
God that was a good series lol
What was it? Never seen it.
Typically missiles with boost-sustain have tighter pull than boost only, because sustainers usually have less thrust and can pull tighter.
Yes and you will still not be able to do what mica does because i don’t think it has tvc.
I mean yes that is what i wanted to say too, better ir missiles could be too good for the game as of right now.
Hornblower, each ep is about an hours long iirc
I think in my humble opinion the AIM-120C will pull worse due to boost only motor, and higher delta v.
There is no Fox3 that will pull as well as the MICA EM, however that is because there doesn’t need to be, at the ranges where it matters, missiles like the 9X, ASRAAM, etc. will all do the same thing, arguably better, on account of the IR seeker being able to lock more reliably, so once those missile come, the MICA EM will be perfectly balanced
True, but I doubt we’ll see AESA be anything stronger than what we see with the Pantsir/ASRAD-R
I don’t need the misile to be identical to MICA, but an upgrade would be nice.
Same reasoning as with M1A2 SEPv3. I don’t need it to be identical to Strv 122 and I don’t expect it to be; but it would still be a nice upgrade to SEPv2.
The way I see it; most successful engagements are all <12 km, because, past that range, it becomes very easy to evade missiles with defensive maneuvers. So I think a missile that excels within 12 km is better than a missile that theorically can hit targets 600 km away, because people at those ranges will defend and evade anyway.
Regardless, it appears that the consensus is that AIM-120A is enough, so… yeah, I will just zip it when it comes to planes and missiles. As I said, this is outside of my area of expertise, so I prefer not to talk about something I may be wrong about and I admit it xD
Rafale compensates by having a better Radar
Carrying more ARHM than the Typhoon
And having similar kinematic performance.
So if you give the MICA the same 120 range then what is the Rafale bad at?
India never got any, Instead they go for domestic T-90S modifications.
It’s best to place the T-90MS variations in the Russian branch where they actually exist.
Shouldn’t the mica reach the target way after the aim120 would reach it even if it was unnerfed anyway?
Question comes will the SEPv3 have optional ERA.
It’s a shorter burn time but it is lighter. Perhaps it’s drag is lower?
If they’re going to buff the MICA, which they should, it should be after everyone else gets an upgrade as well, like with the Magic 2, if that thing had it’s current capability when it was added, it would have broken the game
