Okay lets go over it together (:
The only IR missiles with equal or more range than the python 4 are the r24t which doesnt have irccm, the r27t, and the r27et
The pl8B has a range of 4km +/- 0.5 so thats not 5-6
Lets be generous and say the pl5eii is maybe a bit better, thats still less than 5-6
R73 has 4km so thats less than 5-6
The aam3 has 4-5 sure but thats still less than 5-6
And how many of those missiles have a dual mode seeker? Lets count hmmmm, zero
And how many of those missiles have 50g overload? Lets count hmmmm oh also zero
And how many of those missiles have a range equal to or greater than the python 4? Oh wow also zero
So in summary the python 4 would be better than every IR missile in game at everything, so yeah totally balanced

thats ma boy!!! seee!!! its a waste of time for me to educate people i have more important things to do than just debate with someone that its trying to do a rage bait. soo… yeah good to see that you choose the same direction as me of not keep discussing again have a nice day!
You know I actually agree but the other way around, I also have more important things to do than try to educate someone who thinks that something that is better than everything else in every way is balanced and a reasonable addition to the game, especially when that person does nothing to provide any reason as to why that thing should be added (:
Is Sniper coming for other aircraft too?
There’s quite a few that should get it
Would seem like a waste and honestly an awful decision to end up making it exclusive to the F-2A.
Same with the ATFLIR pod too for the US F/A-18C Late, you said before it’s not planned but still gatekeeping equipment is a bad decision.

have a nice day :)
PS: there is a lot of ARH missiles better than others in some departments the MICA EM its a clear example its the most crazy missile for close and medium range no other missile can match it but no one is complaining about it also now it got a 360 degree launch capability soo yeah LOAL in simple words the point is that every missile have its strong points and its weak points but at the end of the day they are still there a no one its complaining because some missiles are stronger than others in some departments people just get used to them and make use of their stronger points to take advantage of its full potential in game its simple as that and if you think that a missile its better than others because it have 2 more kilometers compared to other ones its because you cannot see the weaknesses and abilities of each missile.
Currently just planned for the F-2A. Its possible others may receive it in the future.

Any reason why give it exclusively to F-2A?
Is it planned to receive passive A2A search capabilities?

The F-2A is getting it because the only other pod it could carry was a basic FLIR
As to why only the Viper Zero is getting the Sniper pod, that’s just what Gaijin does. They always do stuff like that and refuse to explain their logic behind their decisions.

Why all the exclusivity this update with some armaments? First ATFLIR which is widely used by the US Navy and Marines on their F/A-18C’s being exclusive to the Swiss F/A-18C and now Sniper which can be used by the F-16C, F-15E, A-10C, Harrier GR7 + more. Why not add these to all that could carry them at the same time instead of dripfeeding them months → years down the line?
They would be a very nice addition to these aircraft and give them a bit off a boost now especially in the case of the GR7 and A-10C given what they will be up against in ground battles now.
That implies it will happen at all, the US F-4E is still waiting of the Pave Spike and / or Pave Tack and Laser guided PGMs.

Screw the targeting pod stuff
Why are some nations not getting medium range SAMs?

But the Otomatic and ADATS are too OP and need to be nerfed. Clearly these new SAMs are just barely going to compete with them still

Otomatic supremacy. Why bother with all these missiles when you have gun?

Because they will flaunt themselves as “saving [insert nation here]” whilst adding more premiums.
Some planes think they can outsmart missile
Maybe, sniff maybe…
I’ve yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet
