Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Brother the thing isn’t even in game,
your “custom testing” is meaningless

He might have tried it with the R-73s

MICA as well, I suspended the aircrafts mid-air to replicate vertical launch platforms.

Ok… R73 = IRIST-SLS ?

In no way, but they’re thrust vectoring too, so in-game, they might have a similar way of working.

Our MiG-29 was made from F-14

Or. Hear me out.

Just wait for it to be released before jumping to stupid conclusions…

That is possible but I foresee them coming back and saying it was always planned to be re-worked once/if there’s backlash to it constantly spinning out in certain situations.

Or they just might give it guidence delay untill it speeds up enough.

Yes, whatever. What he tried to do is recreate a thrust vectoring missile launch from a low altitude/speed and it seems it didn’t work as well as one would’ve intended them to.

It’s almost like airlaunched missiles behave differently compared to ground launched missiles or something 🤔

Correct, when targets are close where the missile was forced to use thrust-vectoring in vertical launch platforms, it would consistently spin out.

Good sir, could you please tell me what the difference is between a suspended aircraft in mid-air that has zero moving speed like in the video and a ground launched platform?

That would severely screw over its close range capabilities, can’t say it’s not Gaijin’s typical solutions though.

Hmm might I have something to do with the fact that the MICA isn’t designed to be launched from a standstill vertical position in that configuration

They obviously are different, however, he tried to recreate it as much as possible. It’s obvious that he asks that, as they behave in a weirdly manner in air battles.

The MICA is designed to be used this way.

He’s waisting his time and the mods time by @ them.

There’s such a thing as MICA VL in real life. I still fail to see how thrust vectoring isn’t thrust vectoring. Are you implying IRIS-T would get a completely different thrust vectoring configuration? Not sure what you’re saying.
