Well obviously
we are well on track to reach unflareable 100G TVC LOAL SRAAM territory
you can’t deny it
I never expected we would get modern ARH missiles either, yet here we are

You’re right, a man can still hope tho lol
does the aim 120 count as modern arh?
Are they going to separate the 9m blocks?
I just want my AAM-5
Just to clarify, when I said ‘P4’, I’m talking about Python-4. Not AIM-9P-4/5.
My bet is that they will add the later blocks like the aim 9m-8 alongside the phyton 4, pl8b, r73m and maybe and upgrade to the seekers of the magic 2 and aam3, before they add the IIR things like the asraam or irist
I really, really struggle to see how these last gen IR’s would work in WT.
Gonna have to see this 16v16 slop become like 5v5 for it to be even remotely manageable.

Idk that would mean they would have to rename the 9M in game. Not much effort but seems off trend. Can we even point to what block 9M is in game?
iirc it is a block 3 or 4, that being said i really doubt that naming would actually be a problem at all to begin with they can just add a (Late) or just adding the -8 for the new one like they did with the aim 9p4
What evidence puts it at 3 or 4? Late would be a terrible nameing convention with all the different subtypes so plz god no.
The last three updates of the year all come within a four month window, yeah.
It doesnt really matters which exact block is, what is clear is that it is an early block, and the thing they can easily add a a new one with a better irccm and then name it what ever they like.
How can you prove it isn’t a better block? What cause it doesn’t have the IRCCM performance you think it should have?
Can you prove that it is not an early block?, again the irccm capabilities can be coded by gaijing nearly at will, what we do know it that the aim 9m had upgrades over the irccm which it wouldnt be crazy to say that would perform better that what we actually have in game.
first of all the aim 9m is arguably underperforming to begin with as it lacks the flare rate bias, i am not saying that it doesnt have the performance that i think it should have, im saying that they can add a new one with a better seeker… which would be on par with the other 90s missiles like the r73m, phyton 4 or pl8b gameplaywise
From the navy the only upgrade from the early AIM-9M to the later one is Guidance Control System. Whether it is underperforming in-game is only speculative on our parts.
yeah becuase the main diference bewteen the block is the GCS.
