Which I believe to be due to the lack of Bank To Turn
Not once did I advocate for next generation IR missiles. Are we nearing their inclusion? Absolutely.
The point remains IR missiles (the none HOB) have limited use at top tier.
They are too easy to flare, they bleed energy fast and the Aim9M doesnt pull enough G for close range HMD missile shots, and it doesnt have a strong enough motor for the 4km shots.
no no no, it’s not what makes the 9M bad
it’s what makes the R-73 good
My apologies, I did not mean to imply you advocated for them. I simply take any opportunity to advocate against them because that Pandora’s Box will really do terrible things to the game.
I really don’t know what to say. AIM-9M is one of the best.
😐It is not
AIM-9M are quite strong, you just need to use them in the right scenario (longer ranges side aspect on more distracted targets) their strength is that random flare pops will not avoid them even at longer ranges
It is, but not in top tier air battles.
The jets performance and gameplay with ARHM has made it dare I say weak.
AIM-9M is still the most potent AAM in game imo nothing comes close (not even AAM-3 it in game doesnt even pull harder)
can’t talk for the M but I much prefer the R-73 on my MiG-29G over the 9Li on thr phantom
and I take the phantom more often
You got the chalk warrior to agree with me, have you any idea what you’ve done? (I hate autocorrect)
I didnt say they are weak, I just said they are not the best. There are quite a few missiles that are much better than the AIM-9M.

Li and M are the same in game besides the motor smoke
that was the reason I even said this

Even though Li should technically have better IRCCM then 9M lol

Take! Take!
we don’t talk about that
I’m happy we even convinced thr Devs that it was a real missile while the phantom was on Dev

That just so happens to be the platform with the best flight performance, the one most able to negate the disadvantages of R-73.
When I play Jas39 I find AIM-9M to be ludicrous, you just swan around deleting people and they often can’t do much about it, if they even notice. It is criminal and R-73 isn’t comparable.

True though im glad it did get it
Idk about that. I don’t even carry 9M’s if the same pylon can mount an AMRAAM. There is very few things a 9M can hit that an AMRAAM cant.
On the other hand, i’d happily drop other things to mount an R-73. Them + HMS basically turn 1v1 turnfights, that you’d otherwise have no chance winning, into a point and click adventure game lol.
