In war thunder, AIM120A will probably be a bit longer ranged than the other 2, and keep its energy slightly better
If it was modelled correctly, MICA would be slightly longer ranged, and slightly faster, but not by much.
As for close range + TVC, it all boils down to : will it be bugged or not X)
During the march testing, MICA would often lose its speed because of wobbling, and it was also limited to 50km apparently, it still was at 50 on the stat card during the dev stream (should be 80).
AMRAAM was also helped by the fact that the platforms throwing it accelerate better up high than the m2k
I don’t know about the Russian ones, but, if MiG-29G is anywhere close, I ADORE IT.
R-73 and R-27ER are basically free kill buttons 99% of the times. Meanwhile, AIM-7M struggles to fly even remotely close to their targets most of the times, and AIM-9M isn’t nearly as useful on short ranges (although it may be a bit better on medium ranges).
Like, R-73 can literally hit an enemy on your 9 / 3 and 100m away, it’s hilarious lmao
And R-27ER can hit an enemy that is 15 km away in a matter of seconds reliabily, while it can also hit enemies head-onning you 300m away.
It’s literally the best MiG-29. Engine upgrade (like 2%) and the lightest with all the kit. Soviet 9-13 is heavier, weaker engine and r-60m only if I recall.
i will enjoy shooting out each module individually, cant wait to make wheeled vehicles gimped. it will look like a centipede with all its legs ripped out.
So… once the motor burns out it’s close to the performance of other missiles? And one could in fact say that once thrust vectoring isn’t a factor it is in fact less powerful as a result?
Plus I’d wait for a more up to date comparison in general
So yeah, it seems MiG-29G is the best MiG, but the Su-27s are likely just straight out better (twice as many missiles I believe?), although I have read complaints about energy retention.
