Ron vs Ronny

Just missing Ronaldo at this point

Gaijin wouldn’t implement a missile with literally 0 info about it at a minimum. Thats the one thing the R-77M would have over the AIM-260 at this point and would contribute to it coming before the AIM-260.

these missiles are not coming anytime soon, there’s plenty of time. the next meta is going to be fox 2s.

Slower missile has more range. More news about fakeness of range numbers of air to air missiles at 11.

is this some new cope lmao?

I mean the missile probably has more crossrange but comparing random “range” numbers is literally completly 100% useless for air to air missiles

Wanna bet? 😬

5th gen is probably winter update and China’a 5th gen’s don’t use PL-8 or PL-12, so…

Average speed of Mach ~3.3 and can speed up to beyond Mach 4 btw

Highly unlikely

Maybe a winter update, unlikely its this one

The guy you’re responding to just does bad takes on the forum. Usually it goes something like this.

‘Missile X really bad - no matter what stats by manufacturers say. Me know physics.’

Then he promptly scurries away from the thread once people query whether he happens to be on the same planet as the rest of us. Don’t worry chaps - looks like he’s come to the Foxbat thread. He’ll probably be crayoning on the Brit Typhoon thread soon…

youre right in saying that, but debating “speed” when talking about the meteor is pretty stupid, the meteor is exactly as fast as it wants to be at anytime during its burn, thats the entire point of the throttleable motor.

We’ll see

Wouldn’t open the chips just yet

they need to rework parts of the game for these missiles to make sense at all

What? But they’re salt & vinegar :(

What exactly?

Uh, the worst chips

i think arb needs some changing for these missiles to be fun, otherwise matches will be a crapshow that devolves into tediousness. ofc if notching doesnt change it will also make the drag fights even longer than they do. missiles are far too easy to defeat currently for extreme long range to be effective.

salt and vinegar is peak what is this insanity

Because i sanity check people quoting random range or speed numbers? The thing is i only do it where its particularly egregious nonsense. We are not talking about ±10% with those, they are just physics wise impossible. Solid rockets are solved science (well performance wise atleast)

Let me translate that for you:

Because you disagree with a range or speed number (usually sourced) you try to argue that it cannot be so. ‘Egregious nonsense’ is usually shorthand for ‘I don’t understand how it is done - ergo it is impossible.’

I’m assuming you probably think 90% of technology developed outside of your country is make believe…
