Major Update "Line of Contact" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

You just don’t understand, gaijin finds actual copy paste harder than the convoluted BS we’ve been getting recently (Pakistani Oplot, US NASAMs, etc)

They promised us greece, which solves literally ever problem with the Israeli tree, and then when it comes to actually using the nation they stated was coming, to add vehicles to israel… suddenly it becomes a ‘long term plan’ 🤦‍♂️

MICA doesn’t work for dogfight scenarios because of seeker arming time though, R-73 is way better

am not gonna wait until this damn update comes live to see if they add something, and taking in count that i asked 4 times to smin if there is something for israel for air and they didnt answered let me tell you that the things might turn dark for us this update, they are pretty much evading all question regarding israel right now.

Yeah, people seem to overly fixate on “range” as being an advantage, when its just not.

Maybe if they enabled DL till impact on the 120, so they were far harder to defeat?

What world are you living in my friend? Just go on statshark and see rafale winrate. The mica is the best missile in the game. There also are no stall fights going on in top tier, only medium and short range one circles where the mica dominates.

The DA.7 isn’t in game. The German typhoon resembles the IPA.7. Very different airframes

MICA is best missile in the game by a long margin…

Except in a WEZ-jammed dogfight, where the R-73 is better because it arms its warhead off the rail, while the MICA has a signifigant delay causing it not to fuse

Still dont get why they even addded that variant. Just add the t4 with ERCS mk.2 and PIRATE

yeah, but no dogfight happens ever in top tier where arm time becomes an issue. Only on youtube with these unrealistic dogfights

Since the F-15C GE is not foldered I doubt that the AESA EFTs will be.

Ok, i don’t care what happens in matches or not.
From a material perspective the MICA is not as good of a dogfight missile as the R-73, and that’s objective fact

ECRS Mk3? there is no such thing

Past T2 tranche doesn’t mean anything anymore, just denotes when the aircraft was built. Also, there’s no ECRS Mk.3, Germany uses Mk.1, Uk&It Mk.2

Atleast the F-15GE has some new Ground stuff

Also the captor e is an INSANE upgrade over the old eurofighters. The captor m was worse than radars at 10.7. Captor e is now the best radar in the game. Still should be foldered, but it’s a massive improvement. One of the eurofighters bottlenecks was that the radar was so ass that you coulndt lock enemies, and it was even feeding the missile with wrong DL info

All share the same gimbal limit no?
I saw people claiming the MK1 had worse gimbal than the others, when the only difference i’m aware of comes from inbuilt EW capabilities

mk.2*

The new t4 uses the mk.2 and pirate. only germany and italy have the t4

I actually personally dont mind it not being foldered, as down the road, it is the perfect platform to add ASRAAM (or the inferior IRIS-T :P ) and Meteors too and so it makes sense its not foldered.

But It does just need… a bit more, Striker II HMD, Litening V Tpod, eDASS, Some form of half decent GNSS stand off weapon, SAL Brimstone 2s, maybe an FNF like HOSBO or SPICE-250. and it would be more than enough to make it stand out from the current M-Scan Typhoons.
