Thrust vectoring that is only great for stall control and will not be of any effect in a Spamraam meta.
The 77-1 is not much of an upgrade range wise, merely some kind of a bone to throw at the abysmal ARH of the soviets in air battles. Overloads are irrelevant on ARH anyway, they all pull enuf
yeah, the A should get 9L, but the C early really is going to need 9M

Idk just saying that every bot will be bombing in it which is cancer enough don’t you think?
Ive now read the devblog
Well, depends on the range. 50G ARHs will pull 180º turns at 1km launches and hit planes from comical angles, while 35G ARHs won’t even hit targets within 2km.
What’s the effective range of R-77 anyway? People talk about it as if it was unisable as an ARH.
Eh it won’t be much different from what everyone else is already doing in the other premiums, except that the fully loaded 18C premiums will be too slow to get to the bases.

I’ve never found bombing an issue past 12.0
an F/A-18C at 13.0 with 4000lbs of bombs won’t destroy a base and likely won’t even get to a base before being shot down

Then why use them if they’re not a michael?
At such ranges some other missiles also exist and people mostly don’t even pay attention to them nowadays lol
Which is good in most cases.
Free food.
Free food is not what we want, this also has no bearing on it getting 9Ms, seeing as bots don’t do combat

The other (IR) missile is a 30G one, so actually one that pulls less than the ARH, making it even more inadecuaate for such short ranges xD
That’s an upside definitely, yep
yeah exactly

Then disengage the headon and do a side aspect. Any eurodelta will retain just enough to still get a solution after a half circle.
Meanwhile, 50G missile’s live reaction:

Yeah, at 13.0 you either only have 2 AIM-9s anyway in which case they might as well be 9Ms, or you have 6 AIM-9s, in which case they’ll need to be 9Ms for you to be able to do anything

Don’t worry, we don’t want it but it’s exactly what we’re getting.
Forgot to add that fire bombing is the meta anyway, so not even that much of a perf penalty.
Regardless, the F-18 premium is going to be fine at where it’s at, if played with a touch of brain power
Now imagine this with an IRIS-T)))))
@Smin1080p_WT with the su30sm, are there plans for making r-77 drag dynamic?
currently it has a hard time reaching 20km because of the horrid drag it has which is really limiting its range
Again, refer to my first reply.
It’s a michael, and it’s balanced how it’s supposed to be, minus the wrong range.
Still new to air terminologies, what’s a Michael if I may ask! Google isn’t helping xD
