They might have the better IR missile at 13.0 but worse avionics and flight performance
And you guys like to use the introduction to service that much so let me give it a go:
r-73 introduced to service in 1983
aim-9m introduced to service in somewhere in between 1977 (introduction of aim9l) and 1991(aim9m deployed in gulf war)
So maybe the US should have just build better IR missiles
They aren’t similar in capabilities, so no.
i want a feature to opt out of arb EC, its absolutely atrocious and solves nothing. Its also a pain in the arse for planes without any Fox 1 or Fox 3 kits. Maps like red canyon are an instant j out for example.
And we need more map bans seriously, its 2025.
Average silly forum post
Could be worst. We yet hitting the “request” for F-22 and full on IIR missiles yet
Nation main cope is always fun to read, although them constantly ranting about russian bias gets a bit boring (Yes the pantsir needs counterparts and Kh38s are BS, but their ground stuff hasn’t been top dog in a while).
and honestly they usually think things like Pantsir can do anything and ignore they still have limitation or disadvantages
putting everything into Russian bias or “if it’s Russian it will not be like this”
Well we are getting IIR next update but just ground based so we are not far off
But any IIR air to air missile will come with the rest and the US one is the worst
Zimbabwe ? it’s Rhodesian for god sake !
Add Jugoslavia to the game.
uhm actually we already have IIR missiles like AGM-65D
It is not the same kind of seeker
IIR on AIM-9X and ASRAAM is not the same
…yikes dude.
They did, it’s called the AIM-95 Agile, and even had a short production run of about 270 “production representative” missiles produced, before the decision was made not to scale up production but instead halt it, and subsequently not being funded in proceeding Financial years, in the relevant budgets finally leaving it dead in the water.
so they didnt put it into service
then it dosent matters
I mean sraam, f20, yak141 is right there
Same thing with kh38mts no proof that they even exist lol and yet it’s still in the game. At least with aim95 they had a limited production run and actually exist.
What plane would get the aim95? Bc I don’t think you want to fly a f8 at 12.7 or a phantom at 13.0
The 9M is superior in the real world do not let Gaijins interpretation fool you.
It has superior lock range, superior range, superior IRCCM and counter measure rejection.
Stated by someone (not me) who is using them IRL.
I have some trial papers of 9m saying that they were pretty mediocre in flare rejection tests. I think irccm is just too strong for not obly 9m but also probably other missiles. Irl stuff like 9x have been flares while in game we some times struggle flaring them in front aspect
