The report was to fix “terminal maneuverability” after the missile traveled some ranges but who knows how Gaijin will fix this, maybe slightly increased loft or delayed turn-down from loft, or any of the other solutions they could use.
AIM-120A & B - Performance against manoeuvring targets too poor // Gaijin.net // Issues
No. Worst missiles at top tier should get better first. MICAs are still pretty much a meta missile within its intended usage.
Considering aim120s pull less then aim7M in game you know something is wrong.
Then put in a report, but it is not acceptable to say we should wait 10 years for developers to finally fix the AMRAAM. Developers shafting the AMRAAM isn’t an acceptable reason to shaft the MICA.
I personally will never do a report since most of them that get passed don’t get addressed for 2 plus years so I ain’t wasting my time with that.
It absolutely does if there’s viable MCM tactics as well as competitors having greater increased missile counts as well as increased missile quality. I refer you to the thread again:
In contrast with this, France realistically does not have the option to increase missile counts as the maximum is 8 on the Rafale. Missile upgrades were inquired and understandably denied by Smin, as MICA-NG and Meteor missiles are not comparable to AIM-120D. See below:
Some of you may then ask, why specifically is this thread made when the MICA is still a great missile in the current meta?
- For realistic modeling of the kinetic performances of the missile
- For medium term planning of the evolution of the game allowing France to have breathing room in relevance of missile quality as they will always lag in missile quantity.
So MICA shouldn’t be buffed because AMRAAM is shafted, but you won’t lift a finger to help fix the AMRAAM? You see there’s something wrong here and it’s not this thread?
8 mica em still are better then 10 aim 120.
The missle count doesnt make it automaticsly better
Especially since, even with all the potential report for any Aim120 implemented, it would still not be anywhere close to the MICA in performance in short-medium range. The problem with the MICA EM is that there’s no equivalent missile to it.
So, by that logic, the MICA should never be fixed. Which I don’t agree with personally
Buddy I never even mentioned mica lol.
12 R-77-1 vs 8 MICA, Im not sure I’d say the 8 MICA are better tho. It’s at least a very close call
Fair enough, I thought with your context you were against MICA’s realistic modeling just because AMRAAM performed worse than AIM-7M in turning performance.
That’s a question for the developers, but I imagine there’s a “balancing” reason to facilitate notch and decrease the kill ratios of Fox3, since it’s a problem that affects all nations. I’ll say it again: we still have players (many of them) who don’t know the basics of how to play against Fox3.
That’s also true. I’m always surprised by the amount of people that die in the first wave of missiles fired from 30km away. Basically half of both team is insta wipe before I can even try to shoot at someone in a rafale because I play quite passively to evade all the R-77-1
Yes ,but then u say its a very close call.
Meaning its balanced against each ither in its current state and nothing necesarily needs to be changed.
Equivalent would be to just finaly hand out the new IR missles for wvr fights.
Gajin not adding them doesnt make sense anymore. And the statement of them to wait until ecm implementation doesnt make sense since most ecm pnly affects bvr missles
Can’t balance around average player’s skill issue
Sadly that’s how it works even on ground as well. We didn’t made those non-written rules, blame Gaijin. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yes, you do, because this is a game and not a simulator. You need people to learn so that you can evolve or create mechanics to make the game user-friendly.
Ground dev team have different rules than air dev team. Gaijin’s stances on any number of issues should not predetermine how you feel about certain issues otherwise you should never disagree with Gaijin.
There is, buffed r-77 with 20-25% more maneuverability would be a mica equivalent.
Especially at low speed, from Mach 0.6 up.
It would also get a j band seekerhead but idk if devs will add that as it would make planes like j11a blind to arh missiles like mica lol
