IRIS-T also has it

also python 5
Yeah, we just had a specific play test of Fox-3 before the update dev server 3 months later
i don’t think they will add those kind of missiles until we have 5 gens
Nice, its a nice feature ofc, I got used to it pretty fast with the 77-1 and Mica EM
They could and probably should. But to take us way back to the original point.
I think “IIR” Gen 5 IR Missiles are going to be here LOOOOOONG before Aim-120D, Meteor, etc. If nothing else. Maps are too small
at least mig-35 will likely be immune to ir missiles due to how ldircm is modeled, so its low cm count wont matter for ir missiles at least
BVVD said something around the lines that they wont add them until everyone has a MAWs or something aroud those lines to defend against them
and that is pretty much possible without adding 5th gens
to be honest. We’ve needed smaller than 16vs16 for about 2 years now or at the very least. reduced density with bigger, more spread out maps.
Reduced inf. signature too to make flaring easier.
Spoiler
which will make the 120D and Meteor way less potent than IIR missiles
gaijin already made a solution: a toggleable button that gives you the illusion that you’ll be in smaller matches

Given no aircraft currently has an IR Signature modeled… First step would be to actually model proper IR Signatures
F-117?
eh… I dont agree. Meteor you spawn in and fire.
ASRAAM and IRIS-T you would have to still close well within range of a Derby
come on, that isnt an aircraft
it is a hopeless diamond

I hope that with bigger maps they will also start to make ARH seekers deadlier.
Map size can increase but if every long range shot gets easily chaffed, WVR engagements will forever be the main part of the match.
Its just a 0.5x multiplier applied to its thrust
Its a bodge.
Which is why the F-117 is still hotter than an F-5 on reheat

you cant unless you have airspanws
the meteor needs a certain speed to be fired because of hte ramjet the ramjet needs the missile to travel at supersonic speeds to work and the solid rocket booster of the meteor can only do so much
so you already need to be at least at ~0.6 mach or something like that to be able to fire the meteor
you jest but an F-8 crusader with AIM-95 would be a kino vehicle to play
