Is the special attack profile on ALARM the one that it just hangs by a parachute until the radar its targeting activates?
Yep. Highly doubt they’ll model its loiter thing

Spoiler
Hmmm, I think so too.
It would be very cool if it did though
Yeah, it would
I just see that as making it easier to shoot down with guns or optically guided missiles anyways since the missile hanging on a parachute will be a fairly obvious thing to spot.
Probably, though IRL, like during Desert Storm, Volleys were fired off ahead of Tornado Gr1s with bombs or JP233s and were conducted at night.
In-game yeah, I could see them being shot out the sky, but then SPAA are attacking the missiles and not the aircraft firing them, so they’ve still done their job to a certain degree.
so are we expecting any new jets for soviets in upcoming update or we gonna be stuck with the su27?
gonna be stuck with
are you saying it’s not competitive with it’s 12 missiles?
others are out here flying phantoms
I’m thinking really small update with 1 major vehicle and a lot of fixed bugs (cope lmao).
General Lee had a good theory on his stream last night that it’s probably the Kfir C.10 as it wouldn’t be meta shattering but interesting enough to make an update around.
@Smin1080p_WT I don’t know if it was answered somewhere, I didn’t find it, so… will Boxer MGS go up to 10.7 or will it stay at 10.3?
KINGS OF BATTLE, which was the corresponding update to the one we’re about to have, had a decent amount of stuff and not “just” a single vehicle and a lot of bug fixes. Japan received their top tier Anti-air, China received what is still now their best CAS option, the US received their first F-111 and much more…
8 of which have the range of a slightly longer r73, i have better luck still running r27s
if I can get kills with a Gripen A that has no ARH by crawling up close to the enemy then you can absolutely be expected to do the same with vastly better missiles
just need to stop trying to use everything long range and finally get used to your limitations
Yeah that’s why I’m saying it’s just a theory, updates flow a lot in terms of content they provide. We always want more vehicles per update but I think it’s about time everyone takes a breather and pumps out lots of QOL changes and bug fixes.
Reworked IR signatures maybe? (Unfiltered cope)
just about any top tier missile will get kills close range, that doesnt mean aim9m is on par with aim120
it doesn’t need to be on par, it just needs to be used within it’s capabilities
and R77 is a mighty good ARH at shorter ranges
right but what if you dont want to limit yourself to close range without having to use fox 1
then you’re probably knowing that you’re weaker in this specific situation
if I don’t wanna limit my F4F-KWS-LV to medium range encounters I’ll know for sure that 9/10 times I’ll loose that dogfight
it’s not that bad, it has an OK radar and 4 AMRAAMs
if you use it to it’s strengths It can win some fights
but you just gotta know when they are coming closer you better get away
with the Su-27 it’s the opposite, hide until they’re within your range
