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

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.

Yes in that configuration.
not strapped to a rafale, and a ground launched one 100% has different programming

all tvc missile shares similar flight control codes, what they said is a problem since sraam added to game, and R-73/MICA also has the problem, when fired in low speed and large off axis angle, the flight control may go mad

MICA VL, = vertical launch made for it

MICA AA air to air not made for VL

Except it doesn’t……

Straight from MBDA, they said they are the exact same missiles. Nothing different in terms of guidance, seeker, or whatever else you’re speculating.

Well, no. The missile is identical. MICA VL is the name of the launcher.

Did you read the part which says “based on the proven mica A2A” So it’s literally not the same

How can it get worse? The abomination of my eyes.

Also by the way, R-73 has also seen vertical launch situations where the exact same air to air R-73 are mounted on ground platforms for air defense situations, yet in-game they still spin out.

Because the one in game are made to be launched in an A2A configuration.

Are you aware that missiles have electronics and are programed for its specific purpose

I really hope the upcoming devblog is going to be something we dont know is going to be added.

Do you have sources that contradict the MBDA website?
