What is the best IR missile then?
Meh, we elected another, so business as usual. Back to grinding
Are they planning to add the AIM-120C-5 to the JAS39C? It’s only got 4 x ARH missiles. Lowest number of ARH at 13.7. This would definitely be a prime candidate for an upgrade.

R-73, easily. AIM-9M is also better than the Magic 2 due to its range and the R-23T, R-24T and R-27T/ET get an honorable mention for being long range.
i guess it just comes down to how you play. if you like keeping some distance the 9m, aam3, etc will be better, if you dont mind shoving yourself into someones mouth the r73, magic, pl8 and stuff like that will be better
USN Super Hornet Block II ~ Block III, RAAF F/A-18F and RMAF F/A-18D (25X Software) equipped AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR pod
The Magic II is definitely one of the easiest and most consistent IR missiles to use at top tier.
I have used Magic II, R-73 and AIM-9M. I would take Magic II over the others any day of the week.

the SLM looks very silly being able to engage so many targets at once
It’s not, the C-3 and C-4 have the CW fins meaning lower drag (and G-pull presumably) while the C-2 only has the new seeker. The C-5 however has a new motor, which paired with the CW fins means incredible range.
For me, its still 13.7 on dev server.
i have honestly almost never seen most of the people here just agree on something like the C-5 being a bad idea. for once we can just agree on sm lmao
I thought the clipped wings were introduced with the initial AIM-120C variant
Lmao

If only you started with a launcher and could do that to place the radar in a hard to reach spot
It’s the same argument as Germany getting PIRATE. The US tests a lot but doesn’t use most of what it tests that’s foreign. It’s a “distinct national difference”.
Chances are you won’t receive them, it’s not as if they have a defecit of CMs atm
That would be much funnier, I know it won’t stay this way, but it would have made some really goofy gameplay possible
thats probably arcade
