Good question, checking now
Only changes in the files seems to be what they said in the changelog,
" The AIM-7F/M, R-27R/ER, RB.71, Skyflash (all variants), Aspide, R-530F/D missiles are now less prone to switching to a target appearing in the direction different from the direction of the last target."
How’s Mica compare to other missiles like R77 or Pl12?
micas are just better no rival tbh the tvc is just yes
Mica are modeled with AIM-120,…
sadly was hoping to see its model
Are they just copied and pasted right now?
just the visual model
Stop being sad you’ll have the real models on the live and even on devs before. Because from the looks of it this test might happen for the whole Alpha strike update
honestly wouldn’t mind it staying as an event either that or separate the matchmaker if you use fox 3s or not
Nvm just read the whole test article it is stated to last for the dev serv period for the moment may change in the future and make an apparition in live servers maybe for April Fools event. Who knows
new magic 2 changes are amazing. Night and day close range maneuverability buff.
i wish cant believe its still only 35gs and this maneuverable
God I really wish it happen lmao, another fresh air for French Air Force I guess.
They modeled the MICA EM exactly as what was laid out in the MICA EM report so I’m happy with the current performance. So besides the flatspin bug that occurs here and there, I don’t think there is anything that needs to be changed with the MICA EM. We just need the visual modeling to be done, as well as having the purple flames for it, and I’ll be happy.
Correct modeling of Magic 2 will still be an issue, there’s still 3 more changes left.
50G Dual plane maneuverability
Seeker-shut off IRCCM
Reduced IFOV
makes me realize how absurd the mica ir would be
Yes, to tell you the truth, the MICA EM is really more so AIM-120C territory, being able to compete in BVR with AIM-120A while also being 50G and TVC. I’d be fine getting 6x MICA IR when AIM-120D comes.
So to sum up: Is MICA doing good?
Yes, there’s currently issues with it flatspinning allegedly, even when it’s not using TVC. I haven’t personally came across this bug though.
