8 with datalink )))))
I repeat, Just Deal with it
crying won’t get us anywhere, we’ve been able to adjust literally every time we got a new leap in power
and the power leaps were Gigantic in the past, much bigger than MICA-IR will be because; MICA-IR still has a smaller range than AMRAAM

Again… This is Gaijin we are talking about. They’ve removed FnF from Brimstones, they’ve made BOL 1/4 strength, Aim-9Ms have terrible lock ranges.
You are just assuming the MICA IR will be at 100% IRL strength without any form of Mitigation?

yep defeat them with imaginary flares after u run out of flares trying to defeat the 2nd/3rd iir missile.
deal with it they denied iir missiles for a while lmao
that isn’t an argument worthwhile
I can escape 100 Micas by flying behind a mountain and changing course too
the while has passed

Again… Why?
We have primary sources for Aim-9L and AIm-9M to be far far harder to defeat. Let alone Magic II and R-73s and PL-8Bs.
This is Gaijin, this is a game. Im doubting any of them will be all that hard to flare. The advantages mostly will come from the much better kinematics
It won’t change anything about the imbalance. The EFT and Rafale will still absolutely gap the F-18s, F-15s and Su-30SM up close while the EFT is also up there as one of the best BVR planes at top tier.
You could argue that the EFT is on par with the F-15E in terms of BVR.
i dont think it will be worse than magic2/aim9m and that alone would make it pretty op + DL
hey you misspelled Typhoon and wrote Hornet instead

Quite sure they turn off the DL in terminal, so not much help there.
just wait until we get the Clear marketing lie again
The plane which can barely get to and stay at mach 1?

Would be weird for it to not come with datalink, I really don’t see that happening.
Hopefully IIR does come in like December as some have predicted. Atleast MICA-IR won’t have to deal with multipath nonsense compared to AMRAAM. It also won’t provide warning to enemy RWR.

my guy it will only get better from here in terms of flare resistance. IIR missiles will have better flare resistance tham magic 2 , 9m , r73 , aam3 etc. they wont make it worse than these.

Whilst the EFT and Rafale are outliers. Is the F-15E/F-18C vs Su-30 in a WVR fight all that balanced?
Id imagine the Su-30 will get IR shot oppotunities far more often than the F-15E and F-18C
There are still ways to limit it. Like making them LOBL and having the lcok ranges be comprable to a lot of otehr things. Making the DL mostly only for HOBS
Like for example, they’ve done with every single IR Missile in game right now.

Well, if we are being true to the game, they are already on the same level. And I fully expect gaijin to just keep them at fov/shutoff and call it a day.

again, we’ve had that in the past
there was a very long time where all flares did was make it slightly easier to escape that AiM-9J that’s inescapable otherwise
