No and Yes, I wouldn’t call it shit. They just are made to fight the rule and they do it perfectly.
Example 1 : Hey we need something better than the aim-120 for inside the F-22. Well how about we improve the design of it and make it better? It still fights inside the internal bay and has a longer range making it a very deadly weapon but only with a aircraft that is designed for it that is what a lot of people end up missing. Yea if you put a Aim-260 on a F15 it’ll always get outraged but you won’t be able to detect F-22 until you’re in the aim-260s range making it good in its role.
Example 2: Guys the Russian bombers are able to drop guided munitions outside of our interceptors missile range. Well we put a sea to air missile on them so they can get more range problem solved. But what about the their fighters longer range weapons. Well that’s what the F22s internal bay of aim 260s is for.
The point is yes they get outrages yes they are worse directly compared but they excel at what they are made for no F15 is going to be flying into contestant sky’s when there’s an F 22. I know this isn’t in the game yet but it will be competitive later on due to this.
But to wrap it up it’s our aircraft that make our missiles strong.
Nobody plays GSB because it’s a steaming pile of garbage as a mode. It’s just GRB but no third person and you can spawn CAS first spawn, and a lot of the vehicle choices are… poor.
Typhoon with meteor doesn’t really have that many peers. So will either have the advantage in down tiers, be disadvantaged in up tiers against stealth or just be full typhoon on typhoon lobbies.
Id say the biggest issue of GSB is that you cant just play the BR bracket you want like you can in ASB.
Id play it all the time, if I could play the vehicles I wanted to all the time. Its once in a blue moon that the 2 brackets I actually enjoy in GSB appear.
Well 9M was around before aam-3 even started development so it isn’t a very fair comparison. AAM-4 is better than AIM-120A irl but it’s also the contemporary of the 120C so the same applies
It’s a pure multirole, it was made to replace A-4, F-4, and other naval strike aircraft while leaving air defence to tomcats, so naturally won’t do as well vs more dedicated fighters
I always find it amusing when I hop in here and people are talking about a missiles preformance that noone besides a select group of people know about.
