i was wondering why Kh-59 worked so much better against ships (practically one-shotting every target in a test flight) while Kh-31s usuall just gave hits, until i realised that Kh-59 has almost double the explosive mass lmao

Also kh31 overpens. Goes too fast.
Got fixed ? Let me check on the dev
vid works just fine. Your second R-73 did start to spin tho lol
Okay bros, is it finally a good idea to grind Yak38? Or will Mig29K be just Mig29M with less flares and less Fox3(assuming MIg29M gets 120) ?
no if you look carefully, first one was already in vid and it started spinning out while already tracking mig. second one was kinda okay, third behaved completely stupid. and this is what we have now. again you are free to take a salt can with you regarding anything about mig29s’ or r73s’ performance
Hm, they do seem a bit more stable. But performance on prod is still unknown to us, gaijin can absolutely mess up something (P Sparrows literally crashing your game if you try to fire them on release)

i bet on that they will be boats in same boat with minor differences. but you can grind yak-38 tree for yak141. especially if you play sim and want to troll people in hovering mode
I am not fan of limited loadouts… so i was hesistant to go there, boats in the same boat sounds italian…
(and i kinda hoped Yak38 gonna get flares via sps pod)
that’s fair. if only it got stable seekers (9M also has such issues tbf) and TVC, i’d really like to play it. i hate that missiles nowadays can be used as reliable decoys (and iron dome, all that) or the fact that IR missiles can just fly on their own

hmm, is gaijin playing with catapult launchers mechanics? Right now Kh-31 doesn’t ignite the engine instantly, it waits a few moments after being dropped down from the launcher

Launched Kh-31A from 10km of altitude going Mach 1.3 at a target 55km in fron of me - it sunk before reaching the target.
Kh-31AD in similar conditions easily reaches the target from 65km however, curious
Seems like 45-50km is the highest you can reach with Kh-31A when fired from 10-11km going at around M 1.5-1.6

Plenty of other weapons already do that.
No to this level i think, Kh-31, as you can see, drops for several meters befor igniting
if you want to report it here are some sources on the Kh-31A(D)
i dont have the time to make reports becasue i have to go to work soon
also this image of a Kh-31 without the intake covers

Hard to watch, but that’s how it is. It would be nice if they added the R77-1
i guess without knowing the launch parameters for 100km range we can’t really make a solid report for it. I guess it should be something like Mach 2 at 15km of altitude? Maybe i can reach that with Su-30MK with just one missile on the pylon
yeah, it should have jettisonable booster and intake covers, but i reaaaally doubt that gaijin will model such details on a weapon
they already did with the seeker cover for the GBU-53 for example
only for the 31AD and 31PD
