Thats how the missiles work IRL otherwise we may aswell just reskin what we have now and call them Meteors and IRIS-T.
Is it good for gameplay…Maybe not, but then neither is releasing 100s of Su-30 premiums and BMPTS at hilariously low Brs.

People still don’t know how to notch and run defensively
It’s so incredibly sad to see how many people still die to long range Phoenixes and Fakours while flying high
(not that I’m complaining, it makes grinding events so much easier lol)

Pulled from the latest video, not a leak or hint or anything. Just something funny.

F-22 confirmed March 2026?
To be honest, disregarding the BMPT situation lol,
On the topic of air and su30s, at 13.3 isnt exactly bad as they can face 13.7-14.3s which almost any absolutely smack em but you need major decompression so they can find their sweet spot but yes facing 12.3s is a bit iffy, but even smt/Jeff/f-16A/Mlu etc with 6 fox3s exist terrorizing the lower BR.
I think it is a bit low as well, because as a flanker player, those 13.3s arent hard to play at all. (Many thought they were dead on arrival but realized BR placement changes everything)
Anyway, decompression should come atleast kinda like 15.0 so 13.0-13.3 can be dispersed better.

God I love these PL spikes man. First downtier I’ve had in like 2 days and I got slung from 9k alt into the ground in 5 seconds with a crew lock just to really rub it in.
are we going to get another WT wrapped like last year

Exact thing that I was thinking
Tbf, some of the next-gen BVRAAMs are in the files for air section while IIR missiles are still not added to the air section of the datamine which makes me think the probability of next-gen ARHs coming first is higher.
They will add them and remove 90% of their actual performance making the additions feel lacklustre.
I mean they wont remove the range cap on the MICA
You think they will add Meteor anywhere near it’s real world performance?

I don’t consider Meteor as the next-gen BVRAAM but as the one after that.
Next-gen BVRAAM being PL-15, AIM-120D, R-77M, Derby-ER, etc.

To be fair the Meteor in WT could have a good seeker to start off with, since IIRC it’s an improved MICA seeker.
My point is, at the very least, it would have the current MICA seeker performance.
Let’s also not forget that the Meteor, being on the Rafale too, will be buffed by the infinite bug reports of the french Avengers bug reporting team, it’s gonna be op.

Maybe.
Yes it should be C&P of MICA, but this is gaijin we are talking about. Might have a C&P of the Aim-54s seeker because “balancing reasons”
Worst case scenario is if they literally give it the base seeker performance of all other ARH, a Meteor that gets 1 chaffed would be peak Gaijin moment.
I think we will end up seeing these and IIR at the same time and stuff like Meteor, AIM-174 and R-37M will come after.
AFAIK the Meteor should have “re-attack” capability because of its extremly long motor burn and variable thrust. Even reignition should be possible as the fuel ignites when it gets into contact with air, doing a ballistic flight path without thrust and reigniting when reaching the target area (or losing too much speed for the ramjet) to conserve fuel. Would be funny to see people evade the missile only to get hit a few seconds later because the missile did a 180° turn.
Not sure who replied to me, but that wasn’t SEP V3.

Look for the flat spots next to the gun on the turret.
Is it me or did they use AI as part of their 2025 rewind lmao
who? ( doesnt really matter who cause it isnt a massive shock lol)
The lower toned voice seems AI than the normal american voice they used since Bruce left.
Just seems off putting to have both Human and AI in the same video
