Day 1154 of waiting for Polish tech tree

I’m actually surprised Gaijin hasn’t added this yet.

Not pure cas but has a good amount of ordnance. Basically the ground kit of the F-16A but with 4 x AMRAAM and 2 x AIM-9L at the same time. Could potentially carry up to 6 x AMRAAMs but it was only ever seen with 4 x AMRAAM mockups on the belly pylons.

IRL it was meant to be an F-16 but able to carry both full air-to-air kit and air-to-ground kit at the same time but then it lost the bid to the F-15E.

If it is a TT vehicle then most likely would go between the F-16A group and F-16C.

Huh does this mean MiCA and R-77 and such should also lose their HOBS?

We’ve got updated BR changes

TLDR, they make us too much money and so we want them at a BR where they are the best aircraft by a country mile and significantly out-perform all other aircraft so people will buy them.

Just because in-experienced Premium players dilute their apparent performance, shouldnt mean they are allowed to operate at an oppressive BR. Especially when Gaijin refuses to decompress properly and instead focuses on compression

There isn’t any primary sources or sources at all for that matter attached to the report.

Well why do all other MRM work at short distance and close ranges par the 120’s? Like i am sorry but what

Different missiles have differing performance levels.

Reports cant be made simply on the basis of other misisles with no source based information to support them.

Well then china bros give it up our missile is now a glorified sparrow and seems like itll stay like that

Smin, are the names of Mods working as intended?

okay but can we get an explanation as to why there was a shadow nerf to the PL-12 turn. the value changed with the PL-12 was not the values said in the server update log. and there was no report or reason to do so because the value changed only affects turn not stability.

I’m sorry, but a modern ARH missile being outrolled by a MiG-17 from the 1950s seems unrealistic

I highly doubt this should be possible

Yes.

“Volunteers” are memebers of the community team.
EG = Tech Mods or Alpha Testers.

“Bug Report Manager” will now be for QA, Developers and CMs only.

Ahhhhh, thanks for the answer :)
Btw, could you maybe pls look at the report I send you a few days ago with the Jettison?
:)

Ive not really got any personal stake in this, but was their any sources to justify the change in the first place? Or was it a bodge job? (i.e fixing an issue, such as instability, resulting in the loss of performance elsewhere)

We have seen directly with the AMRAAM that changes were made that actually took the missile further away from IRL performance, despite accepted reports being in. nearly 3 years later, a second bug report regarding the same missile performance has yet to be actioned.

Original report

Updated report after changes

When it comes to missile performance, it seems to be largely Gaijin discretion and not actually based upon any IRL data

Iirc they reduced the distance between center of mass and stabilizers of the missile from 0.3m to 0.12m and adjusted it from there. If this is wrong it should be easy to disprove.

The only issue is that datamines that figure this out can’t be used in reports, and all inaccuracies need to be done only with in game comparisons and sourced numbers. So this might be impossible to report in ways that Gaijin accepts.
