I increased MICA IR’s drag compared to MICA EM with the primary sources I have now. Is 30km really the absolute max range?

Spoiler

is this stat shark bro… is that target turning yea I don’t think so nobody but people who dont understand will flying straight while being launched at

That’s the thing, if an AIM-120 or R-77 was launched at you but you had no RWR warning, even if you were turning around and not flying straight, you’re still getting hit without notching and chaffing it.

Fair, should have said for ASRAAM.

But how in the world is mica em better at range than AIM-120A lol, even early AMRAAM should be much better for long range

He was mousing over the premium section so i wouldnt get your hopes up lol.

Watch it be another premium F-16.

MICA EM just gets to 30km quicker than AIM-120A. AIM-120A still has more range, but at useful ranges like 20-30km, the MICAs are much quicker due to shorter burntime meaning it accelerates a lot more.

3 vehicles is the limit per rank so likely no unless it’s folded

they will have SOME kind of counter this is a game they wont be that IR hungry

Yes. The counter is simply to not be there when it gets there.

does USA have more

Not really a thing. Multiple ranks have more than 3 in any given nation

The counter could be that they won’t allow LOAL and only that you can fire in LOBL until every nation gets a plane with MAWS, that might be F-22 or F-35 for the US.

MICAs are, and always have been the objectively scarier missile over the amraam

This gets a MAW?

Yup, 360 degree MAWS too.

I don’t think early f22 has MAW only late

You’re getting it confused with IRST. F-22 early didn’t have IRST, all F-22s have MAWS.
