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

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

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?

wheeze
My bet is on the RHA-66 or the Roma

45° =/= 90°

That still doesn’t explain why they spin out at very low dogfight speeds which is where they are meant to do well in.

Do you have access to the MICA VL source code? And guidance computer?

you still can’t understand.
it’s just gaijin’s poor code.
if you are right, it’s just designed for a2a, it still loses control
just search you can see many videos showing mad R-73 or mica in game
