Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

Before we get proper ECM, we need proper fox 3 seekers, cause right now the seekers are so weak ecm would kill them.

plane 1 fires AIM-120/R-77 to force defensive and bleed energy while datalinking target info to plane 2 with AIM-174/R-37

i was talking about plane to plane datalink. IRL Su-30 can link up with up to 4 Su-27s to serve as a mini AWACS

well yeah thats what plane 1 is giving plane 2

absolutely goated, maybe it will finally shake up meta a bit, from boring aah bvr

Ah, i misread, seeing 174 and R-37 made me think you were talking about target info for a missile from another plane. My bad

i quite enjoy fox 3 meta, but i wish it was boring ah BVR.

right now the gameplay is just slinging fox 3s in Wvr.

buddy lasing too please, let me lase a target for a heli on a aircraft.

wouldnt fixed seekers/accurate CM effectiveness make ARH missiles lore accurate IIR levels of lethal? which would strengthen BVR meta?

20km isn’t strictly WVR. Half of the targets aren’t even visually rendered. And even at this distance it’s extremely stale and boring. I just spaded Eurofighter and it was the most mind numbing experience that i ever had in this game. I much rather use Flankers becasue their limitations actually push me into more interesting scenarios than just sitting in a notch and firing 120s at opportune targets.

thats Game engine jank, 20km is pretty much wvr.

Well, outside of game jank VISUALLY detecting a jet at 20km might only be possible at high altitude via contrails.

definetly possible at the altitudes at which fighters fly irl

wvr/bvr isn’t very well defined

its isnt, but calling 20km bvr is a stretch.

not really, 20km in game would be called bvr by most ppl asked

thats not really relevant though.

It’s extremely relevant to war thunder.

SMT has much better CM count.

56 Large Caliber plus 60 Regular countermeasures.

IF gaijin added SMT without humpback version it would’ve been best 13.3 in game, in fact it probably ended up 13.7.

wait is that

this? hell yeah i was struggling with the 30 cms
