If we are talking 1991 it would be APG-70.
And the -135 one literally says it’s part of a system, so I think it is integrated
We should not only look at the missile’s range but also at the technology. Maybe the HN6 is just a manpad, but the HN6B has been much improved

“FN-16 is a new generation of individual air defense missile that uses infrared/ultraviolet imaging guidance heads, which can attack in all directions. It has the ability to ignore launch, high accuracy, and strong anti-interference ability. It is mainly used for field air defense, intercepting fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, and drones invading at low and ultra-low altitudes. This is the foreign trade version of HN-6B, so the performance is almost the same.”
- Missile diameter: 72mm
- Weight: 16kg
- Max speed：750m/s
*Overload：18G - Range: 500-6000 meters
- Fuze: Laser proximity fuse
- Reaction time: 5s
fires a missile with almost the same stats and the same IRCM as the TY-90=PL5EII=PL8B, I can see that a Chinese DCA with the HN6"B" can be more effective than a 2s6 even if the range is less
I’ve not been paying attention today, please tell me you’re just continuing the joke and it’s not actually that
Interesting to have the devblog season kick off on a Monday as I think that’s one of the least likely weekdays
Interesting how short the devblog seasons have started since last June, I need to look at the list again but I swear if it’s a Monday start the dev stream is on a Friday on the same week

I just hope we don’t get that awful presenter in again I’d have more fun eating sandpaper
The new one instead of mike?
Yes, god he was annoying.
I definitely do miss mike but I just assumed the new person was shy/anxious and acclimating to the role
Yeah due to that he was terrible, in fact ngl I would rather have BvvD and Oxy together. I know we like to joke about BvvD sitting in Russia for most of the stream but at least he give us info that we never would of gotten.
The APG-70 was used by the F-15C? I thought it was only the F-15E that used it… In any case though, the APG-71 is still better than the 70. With vastly more range and all those Air-to-Ground resources put to Air-to-Air focused stuff like tight notch angles and stuff.
I don’t doubt the ALQ-135 was integrated. I was just saying the F-15E/C’s lack of IRST and TCS to help the Radar and RWR naturally make it inferior. This translates to EW/ECM too.
Before 1991 and later in 1991 F-15 is clear winner though. Only for a couple months F-14D was dominant
Debatable. I’ll give you from 2006 onward the F-15 was 1000% dominant :)

just in the bore, remember T-90A’s airburst HE? it’s same
It was over as soon as the AMRAAM hit IOC
But nice joke
When i looked at Eldenhet 98 (Giraffe 1X) i needed to look it up. It is a nice lunch SAM box. But when i looked up the missles it has i wonder where it will be as the range is 10-12km (So same as ItO), but it suppose to have greater manouvrable. So, dont know at what BR it should be if they will add it

Sabrah honestly gives me Booker vibes.
Both are like, taking a Merk/Abrams, weakening the armament, weakening the armour dramatically, somehow keeping the thing huge, and somehow ending up with an even worse HP/T for all this sacrifice.
(I get the whole irl logistics / cost angle but I’m just viewing it from a WT lineup viability perspective)
