Yes, because that’s a thing that occasionally happens.

Not if you notch it.

You lost me, I can’t keep up with this level of mental gymnastics

It’s not mental gymnastics. It’s not hard to notch an AIM-54. If you are getting splashed by it cause you are multipathing you clearly were not trying to notch it and solely relying on multipath to save you.

You do know you can notch while using multipathing right?

I just wanted to Inform you guys that it would be appreciated if the Snail would finally get its Packs in the PS Store under Control, because I just noticed that there is the Serpent Rising Bundle which was released nearly 2 months ago, up to 5 minutes ago, I had bo Idea that it even existed since this pack does not appear on Console, or in game, you can only see it via the Internet Browser version of the PlayStation, or in the PS App(and even there its Realy Hidden…)

Usually when i’ve been splashed damaged its in things like the F3 or FA2 which dont have the raw performance to kinematically tax the missile to the same degree as something like a Gripen or Typhoon could. It can be done, sure, but not anywhere near as easily

I can’t understand the need to defend being splashed by an AIM-54. You either did what you are supposed too or ignored it. The level of difficulty to avoid an 54 is fairly low. Hell I’m not a great pilot and the only time I have been killed by an 54 in the last year was when I was on my phone.

I guess a production run of 1 is still production

Also Aim-120. Up to 8 or even 10 if they’re generous.

Well we dont see all so many AFVs in the victory day parades anymore so might as well tart up their testbed vehicles to look real

Just like Britain’s, in this case doesn’t need assistance from a foreign company to develop and build something ‘new’.

I just read through like 50 messages of people self-reporting lmao. Complaining about Phoenixes in the big 2025… really guys? It’s the easiest radar missile to decoy for it’s BR and if you’re trying to multipath it, you deserve to die.

(Remember it’s a missile designed to dismantle big soviet bombers and make a big blast area to hit sea-skimming cruise missiles, if you don’t want to get intercepted like a cruise missile, stop flying like one…)

Oh and the mental gymnastics to try to say the F-14B isn’t one of the worst 13.0s is amazing. The only planes that are worse than the F-14B at 13.0 are the harriers. And even those have a completely different playstyle that’s more consistent and rewarding compared to the F-14 playstyle. And saying “The Viggen DI is equal to the F-14B” is not only dishonest, but it also doesn’t even help your argument, because the Viggen DI is a bad plane carried by AMRAAMS and isn’t good without them in the slightest.

The F-14B isn’t a bad plane. Nor would I say it is the worst. But the amount of dishonesty about the 9L being fine in 13.0 is insane.

we will have to see if this is still the case in 7 hours. Harriers got buffed pretty hard to almost be comparable to their real counterparts. I imagine a lore accurate harrier using blue vixen well is a bigger threat than the tomcat with farkours and phoenix. I still don’t think the FA2 is 13.0 worthy though. The thing can see eurofighters which is just insanity

I wish they put AIR-2 warhead in AIM-54. Maybe it’d be 13.0 worthy without 9M then

And then blast radius complainers would have something to actually complain about
