it’s nerfed already:
maneuvrability, range and kinematics are not on par with IRL stats

bug reports was done

buff every other missile instead imo

u’re talking about literally IN REAL LIFE stats?
cuz for ur information, WT is far from being real

also they said they nerfed it, but to me it looks like they just did nothing since it still has the same maneuverability, range and kinematics of always.

i just got killed by a Rafale that was LITERALLY looking to the sky. it was just looking straight up while trying to get a HMS lock on me, and when it got it then it was just time for the MICA to do it’s job (and it did it well, i was at 10km but i never expected it to launch a MICA-EM at the angle it was).

MICA-EM is the only ARH missile with TVC, and just with mentioning TVC u know its good cuz R-73 has it and it can make some of the craziest kills in the game with just a single keybind touched to launch it.

should able to reach 80km → today hard capped at 50km (range)
should be able to do 110° off the rail, when doing HOBS → doesn’t even go for 70° today (maneuvrability)
should degrade less energy/seconds after the end of rocket, when launched for “long-range” (kinematics)

but yeah, in regards to those nerfs it does have a seeker, because it have been bug-reported,…

and that’s how French designed this missile

A 14.0 plane with 6xMICA outperforming every single 14.0 and 14.3, bar the only other MICA carrier, does speak volumes.

still enough to reach any aircraft

i disagree, that missile can do 90º turns

in my opinion it degrades enough energy for a french missile, which are normally big, and it still retains a lot of energy

the ingame performace of the MICA-EM is still excellent and everytime u play a match, it’s almost always a 4/5 kills match

What does that even mean

France usually has bad radar guided missiles due to the seeker, such as R530 (which isn’t a bad missile imo), R530F and maybe R551 if u use it in the Mirage IIIC.
So it’s a bit weird that only France has a missile with a different seeker in the MICAs when, as i know, all ARH missiles (R-77-1, AIM-120, R-Darter, RB 99, PL-12, AAM-4, etc) have the same seeker, with the main difference being featured in the warhead of the missile, making it easier or harder to fool when launched from above (to multipathing enemies).

I remember it being in datamines where it talks about missiles’ seekers.

there is a singular french sarh that exists at a BR where it’s not common to be a pulse missile and its the 530F and even that will sometimes ignore chaff due to buffs it has received.

Rarely, but yes.

Whatever R530F is a very decent missile, not the best, but far from being the worst.
It’s very balances due to it’s almost non-existant chaff resistance, good maneuverability and enough thrust to reach unaware targets (which is normal since every single enemy will be unaware of ur missile).
