Major Update "Ninth Wave" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

MICA wasnt op before the Rafale, and having the shortest range fox3 you gotta give it atleast 1 edge over others ngl, if we still had only the M2K5F and no Rafales france wouldnt have this high of a winrate at all

Ah yes, because we all know the USS Forrestal historically carried superhornets

Mica wasnt op until they buffed the seeker.

Range doesnt matter though, How often do you actually fire an Aim-120C5 past 15-20km?

Thats is more than in-range for a MICA EM too

ok, So Gaijin is Lying when they say the 120D is an upgrade then!

Buffed seeker or not, the MICA would still perform nearly identically. The missile would still be as hard to notch due to its huge speed acceleration. It would simply be easier to chaff, which is more beneficial to say a su30 with limited chaff than a eurofighter with hundreds of BOL chaffs (even if they are very pitiful)

Weird how the MiG 9-12 doesnt have the “IRST” in the statcard
