Are MICA-EM missiles broken right now? I can’t seem to hit anything, at any range, and they consistently lose track or go for chaff. I was so excited to get them because I know they SHOULD be good, but AMRAAM seems 20 times more reliable. MICAs don’t have the range, they spin out at low speeds when you try using the TVC, and they literally just stop tracking even when you fire it withing 10km at a target flying straight at you because they decide to go for chaff or god knows what.
Am I missing something? I have quite a few battles using AMRAAMs and R77 and those seem so much more reliable. I can fire 6 of them at 40km and I always get at least one kill, sometimes multiple. MICAs, on the other hand? I will fire all 6 of them at the same target within 20km and they all miss.
I don’t understand man. I was expecting them to be busted simply because they are mounted to a 12.3 plane, which in essense is just a further modification of a 10.0 plane. It is an outdated airframe carrying potent missiles, kinda like the Harrier with SRAAMs was when it was first added, but SRAAMs were at least kinda OP in the right hands. MICA-EM just doesn’t compare. I feel so useless at 13.7 that I legit might just keep playing the C-S5 Mirage because that thing is actually good at its battle rating.
Anyone has any tips? Or are MICA-EM just broken right now and I have to wait for Gaijin to MAYBE fix them two years from now? This was just a massive dissapoinement.
Edit: Also, I guess to add more salt to the wound even if the MICAs were better I still don’t get why this plane is at 13.7 while MiG29SMT is at 13.3. The airframe is so outdated that it could easily sit at 13.3 as well. I feel like 80% of the time I am better off just using Magic 2s. I apologize if I sound whiny but I am severly dissapointed by MICAs.
