The earliest 9X I dont think its IRCCM improved that much did it?
The fact that they are effectively death sentences to anyone they’re fired at is indeed frightening.
funny thing that everyone think oh su-33 its gonna be a better su-27 but without fox 3 with only r-27 its gonna be a lot of people that gonna cry

I mean, if that’s the reason it’s at 13.0… it’s still worth the tradeoff
Not close at all = 1 year from now.
Unrelated question. How far away are we from F-22 / F-35?

It is slightly better than the Su-27S, however not to the point that it really matters.
And then there are people who want IRIS T in game where you can literally 180 quickscope people from 8km away pulling 60G

And I know that Early 9X capability is limited in comparison to modern 9X idek if it has LOAL and over the shoulder capability its 50g like the R73 I believe but without Bank To Turn itd just be a glorified R73
Can still consider it a straight upgrade over the Yak 141, so I’ll take it
Planes like that, what most call “useless” are still nice to me, more variety and good enough filler IMO.

From what I know, the bl 1 lacks LOAL and datalink, but still has the better IRCCM. I may be incorrect, however.

My beloved…
Sadly we don’t get to do any gunfighting in top tier.

Hmm so if BTT was added I dont think the flight performance between AAM-3 AIM-9X Python 4 and Magic 2 would be much different
Though ill admit my AIM-9X knowledge is limited at best

the only advantage of that phantom are it’s AMRAAMs
if anyone gets close enough to use IR missiles which may not 100% be my fault then that fight is lost
this thing won’t turn fast enough to dodge anything IR that you meet at that BR
I believe in testing some LOAL was achieved even on early blocks so idk how that’s gonna work out once it comes down to their implementation
The 9X would be the best, however the AAM-3 and Magic II would still be somewhat competitive.

Well when 9X is added im sure R73M would be as well
Unless we get a later block AIM-9M that pulls its 35G
It won’t come alone, that’s for sure.

do you want to imagine the outrage if 9X and R-73M come without IRIS-T and ASRAAM?
