Without IFF it’s terrible in sim.
Really waiting for a decent Chinrse premium to play in sim
IFF? What is it?
On the radar it doesn’t show which targets are friendly.
That thing is a fratricidal nightmare in sim
Yeah it’s speed puts it above the rest but even then if you take the J-7D it’s still close behind, also 4 missiles that pretty much the best non-IRCCM missiles (granted they are rear aspect only but still some of the best) in the game make up for it’s slightly slower speed.
Well, his carrier itself is worse. The Mig-21MF seems to me to be worse than a mirage. But actually, I think yes, they both should be on 10.7.

I love the Kfir Canard, hell, I grinded the almost the whole Israeli tech tree with it. It’s good at dogfighting and can take out atleast a single base. I think it’s my 2nd most played vehicle.

I mean still behind the 9L and Python 3
That’s only on super hornet, aim-260 supposed to go to literally every fighter in US service
F-16, F-15, F-18, F-22, F-35 all are getting it
Currently it looks like AIM-260 integration is only expected on F-22 and F/A-18E/F with the F-35 and F-15EX coming later
If an EX can fire it so can an E or C
F-16 would be software update away
Would genuinely rather take PL-5B’s instead of both of those missiles. Sure it isn’t all aspect but it’s flare resistance is unparalleled with other non-IRCCM missiles. I’ve had more of them hit through flares than both the 9L and Python 3 combined
I mean that isn’t a guarantee, they could add capability if they wanted I’m sure, but there likely isn’t much merit in doing so when the F-35 is going to be taking the frontline role in future wars and the older F-15, F-16, and F/A-18s can all use the AIM-120D which may be seen as perfectly adequate for their intended roles, the F-16 particularly and maybe the F/A-18 might not have the radar capability to make the AIM-260 worth it.
They would have the hardware but doesn’t look like the AF is planning to spend the money on upgrading them to fire it.

Are you sure flare resistance is better and you aren’t just being forced to take better shots with the PL-5B?
thats cool asf
should come probably around march/april
I’ve had PL-5B’s go through F-5’s flares and colder than ice engine whereas the same shot with the 9L and Python 3 have gone straight for anything slightly hotter than a wet fart.
but i think we are skipping some su30s, before sm standard there was just su30M,also sm might be too op
Pepernoten must stay indeed.
