what could it change
phantom vs su27/f15/f16 is kinda joke? No speed, no maneurability

Or that

AIM9Ms atleast are pretty great at top tier meanwhile AIM9Ls will be oneflared by everything

A lot of French firepower…

Lightest most maneuverable ARH in game.

5F has returned to the top BR where it belongs (for now).

r77?

Is that MICA really that good? I see a lot of people say it lack range

Ah, yes, because IRCCM makes no difference whatsoever.

The MICA EM has the same base pull of 50g on top of TVC. The MICA EM is the top dog.

anything new overnight?

any data mines yet?

yes. The R-77 is over 130lbs heavier with worst aerodynamics.

However, will that translate in game? Probably not. Trying out the R-77 now.

Yes, its range is not all that. Its most effective in ranges 10km under…

It’s got to be nerfed for game balance. The magic II is a 50G missile with much more range irl as well. Makes sense.

It’s basically like a AIM120A, R27ER and R73 had a child

The thing accelerates really quick (like R27ER), has ARH and a decent range (like AIM120A) and can do very hard maneuvers (like R73)

where japan bias posts

france bias you mean ?

Welp, got to say, with the 2 new F16s and the 8 missile loadout on m2k, i can’t really disagree on that one.

Although MICAs small range advantage might get counterbalanced by M2Ks slower acceleration up high compared to other planes, so there’s that i suppose.

I thought the F-15C gets better engines? This new one actually has worst thrust…

F-15A

F-15C

GJ just pulled a classic bait & switch. Heavier F-15, weaker thrust in exchange for the worst modelled ARH in-game.

Seems to rip just as easy as the previous F-15 too.

Thats… WHAT

That would explain why people have been talking about it being a brick

Surely GJ would model the Aim-54 & AWG9 at least…

nevermind
