May it's time to talk about ARH missile multipath?

They could mention the presence (or lack) of an (inverse) monopulse seeker on the statcards of the missiles, as that is the main way multipathing is being dealt with IRL.
In-game all (S)ARH missiles behave as if they had an inverse monopulse seeker currently, which is why pre-AIM-7M SARH missiles can properly track at altitudes below 400m in WT.

Huh? I do not play the F-14s…
I just disagree about making planes unplayable.
Removing multipathing will not be the win you think it would be.

It definitely is far more attractive than the infernal loop that is BVR.
And I play the strongest plane for BVR in the game.
You don’t need to join the furball if you don’t want to; simply climb and go play BVR, if that’s your jam.
However, do not force other players to adhere to where they’re very poorly equiped to fight against the meta planes.

Also, if you think failing to notching with a 4-corner RWR such as the Mirage F1 is skill issue, then your opinion automatically drops in value.
You’re just setting up for the F-14s to be even more stupid than they already are. They’ll just bully you out of the map.

You misunderstand me. You think removing multipathing will lead to the F-14s being 13.3 (uptiered). That means you unironically die to Phoenixes and complain about it. That self-reporting because not even Batman could make me admit I died to a phoenix while being aware it was coming for me.

Oh, you’re actually even thicker than I thought you would be.
I rarely die to AIM-54s, nor is that my point.
I, however, do have the ability to understand that removing multipathing would affect its balance versus other planes that are poorly equiped to deal with it. It would be absolutely uptiered.

There is no plane that the F-14 faces that is “poorly equipped” to deal with it.

Mirage F1s, MiG-21s (except for Bison), Jaguars.
And that’s just from the top of my head; there are planes with very few countermeasures and even poorer avionics which make it AWFUL to fly.
Do you even play the game? I’m beginning to think that you don’t.

The F-14 itself has poor avionics and low CM counts. The F-14A that fights these is awful to fly below 5600m.

The Mirage F1 is not poorly equipped and MiG-21s (except for the Bison) and Jaguars don’t face the F-14

Russians arh missiles irl according to their exporter have a min alt of 20m, which would be nice

It’s absolutely poorly equiped. 4-corner RWR with no launch or launch warning. Same as the MiG-23s with the piss-poor SPO-10s.
And I stand corrected, I misrembered the Jaguar’s BR. I apologize.

It has a much better radar, RWR, fox-threes, and a very decent flight model against those lower planes. It’s by no means bad, unless you’re not particularly good yourself.
Removing multipathing would just make them much stronger because they’d be able to bully the entire enemy team into the defensive with zero danger.

The Mirage F1 is amazing, even with a bad RWR (which is not just 4-corner btw).
It gets a bunch of CMs, has pretty good missiles, a great gun and a very nice flight model.

I’m in-game right now, flying it.
It has an impressive… two more corners, if I count it correctly. I stand corrected nonetheless.
I’m not saying the Mirage F1 is bad overall. I’m saying that it’s bad against the F-14s, and that’s a fact.

People being bad at the game is not a reason to keep the crutch.

You do not need multipathing or chaff to defeat ARHs

That’s extremely silly, jesus Christ.
You don’t need them, but it will make playing OTHER jets which do not have it miserable. Is it that hard to understand?

Trees have a negative effect on increasing the height of multipathing. The only serve to further diffuse a coherent return, which is what actually effects guidance, genius. And You want to talk about reality, LMAO.

And if their stats really become so poor, they will:

1.) move down in BR
2.) receive more of their IRL ordnance options
3.) received bug fixes for their systems that are being sat on for “balance reasons”

Or more likely their stats will improve because they now no longer just get bum-rushed by shitters with better flight performance who can just sit below 60m and run straight at them. You keep saying “oh these will be miserable” but a correction to multipathing would make playing things like the F-4F ICE or Tornado F.3 easier. And for things like the Gripen A or F-16A, oh boo-hoo you only have the best FM in the tier to make up for all the defensive maneuvering you have to do to get into effective range, whatever will you do?

Cry me a fucking river. Remove the crutch. Get over your skill issues

this is the altitude where proxy fuse cant work properly anymore. its not about radar
