Japan didn’t get left out per se. I mean it depends how good the Type 81 arh is, which is just not functional atm
They did get left out of getting a medium range SAM. The ARH Type 81 has the same range as the IR Type 81, 14km, which is short range. SLM, SLAMRAAM and SPYDER are medium range.
the IRIS-T SLM is down from 60 to 40G, great, lets artificially nerf it ig?
they can’t fight if they don’t have both the aircraft energy advantage and better missile, you see, and these dastardly R-77-1 being able to equalize the playing field, that was too hard now
No turret basket changes coming to any other tanks?
And people are defending it too, like mate, R-77-1s are not some OP missile that teleports right into your plane. I have dodge more R-77-1s in one day than I have AIM 120s for the past few months.
There’s, quite literally, no vehicle at top tier which isn’t gimped in some form.
And frankly, planes are not dodging a 40G missile. Is it that deep?
Yes it is that deep when the Elde/SLS is still 60G
And they’re at ~15km of range.
Personally, I’d make that trade.
77-1 just brought su 30 into a competitive position. It’s a lot worse than AMRAAMs in practice.
That’s hopeful.
It should have stayed at 60. Let’s bully CAS back into the Stone Age.
Poor helicopters on the top tier. They were already in a half-dead state, and now they got the final nail in the coffin.
And way less G will make a difference at long range
The SLM has forty kilometers (in theory) of horizontal range, plus twenty of altitude.
It has an effective range of 20KM.
It quite literally outclasses and outranges all A2G weapons in the game
You can’t beat a dead horse deader
I want those missiles to thrust vector straight into the plane, dang it. No more CAS, let’s Make Ground Ground Again.
Make Ground Ground Again
But you have to if you want glue
Difference, how? You’re literally NOT dodging 40Gs
Shit, with how TVC is modeled in-game, it will literally only serve to further bleed speed
It is not that deep
Found the CAS player
