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

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.

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.
