gen 5 is soon… i can see the future
I don’t know what else to call it. On a lot of the planes I use part of the RWR display includes a launch warning and it definitely has saved me from IR missiles before.
no? but how is that an argument, the r27 isnt top tier. You are excusing having an unmatched missile in a certain br, but other nations cant have unmatched things in another BR.
Exactly, that’s why it’s been so underwhelming for me, hahahah.
The last few years have been SO air-heavy… we’ve got like 25 jets per MBT.
Rank VIII Ground was introduced 2 years ago now, and we’ve only got like 2 new Rank VIII-worthy MBTs this whole time.
Still waiting for stuff like: M1A2 SEPv3, Leclerc XLR, more uparmored Leopards, modern iterations of Challenger 3, even stuff like Object 640, or hell, even T-14…
You know, the sort of “next-level step” that was hyped up back when Rank VIII was introduced.

the most low Br r27t is the bison 12.3
The R-27ET can be flared just as any other IR missile of its kind can. If it was possible to add an equivalent at that BR from another nation, it would definitely be considered. But nobody made one of that kind.
IRIS-T is not so easily flared or avoided at all. The two don’t equate. As we have said many times. Advanced IR missiles would not come to just one nation / vehicle at a time.

Personally. I think im hoping more for new mechanics and long time fixes than anything specifically new vehicle wise. I dont think the game desperately needs new vehicles at the moment for the most part.
So things like:
- Regen Steering (dual dif)
- Better Maps / new maps / new gamemodes
- ECM / ARM
- SEAD gameplay
etc etc

Not saying that they should. Russia already has their most advanced IR missiles, it would only be fair to add western equivalents for the sake of game balance.
so its possible to make suggestion for upgraded r27t ir seeker
u sure can

Smh just tape a sabre to the nose cone and parry the missile, so simple /j
No not even close

Completely agree, at least when it comes to the ground department!
Particularly, regenerative steering. But also- more MBT fixes; missing spall liners, armor holes, TYPE 10’S GODDAMN STEERING ALREADY, Oplot’s UFP armor… etc.
Could you explain? The most advanced is the r74, which is just an r73 with more off boresight and better IRCCM. Just add that and the IRIS-t, fair
Would be nice, but
this is way more important
ECM yes, ARM only for a seperate mode, CAS still easily beats the SAMs

What’s the requirement for an anologue?
The first officially listed serial production aircrafts were numbered as 39-6002 and onwards and are still owned by SAAB for testing and validation as far as i know (6001 went to Brasil). the 39-8 through 10 are testbeds and prototypes as far as i know.
The serial produced E versions that got delivered to the Swedish defence force are listed as tail number 60x (Source: Redirecting... and Redirecting...) (Interview with people from SAAB; https://skiesmag.com/features/saab-gripen-fighter-jet-canada/ They mention some of the history of the testbeds and prototypes).
Similar era, comparable specs
Unless you are asking why it would be needed, in which case I’d say that there is no need for an analogue/equivalent
My hope is that they rework the missiles before this, just imagine how laughably easy it would be to evade with ECM with the current fox 3 implementation.
It really depends on how ECM is implemented, but yeah, hopefully it will.
Though im hoping for it more for the Tonkas, especially those at 12.3
