The r73 is laughably easy to flare in most vehicles, by just dropping the AB and popping a few flares.
Aim9M can be used from above 3-4km and still require lots of maneuvering to defeat the IOG, especially in side aspect.
All missiles can be flared, even the IIR are way too easy to flare as of now. It’s just that the aim 9 requires more work to do so
Wayyyy to early for that
rice with egg and vegan “bacon” (nothing like bacon, but tastes pretty good, would typically use tofu or potato or something, but it was on special thus cheap)
fair enough, I’m not a big fan of the vegan stuff due to being like super sensitive to texture but I do see that being pretty good breakfast.
I think its doctrinal. There is no world where the USA goes to war without fielding huge numbers of aircraft, all equipped with Link16 and with AWACS support. So when engaging off bore, beyond that of the radar they would be leaning on Link16 and AWACS queuing.
So makes sense to me that there isn’t much in it for them to develop a gimbled AESA.
That’s my theory anyway.
I wonder if we might see AWAC’s in future like as a part of maps and as a target objective to allow these aircraft designed around awacs suppourt the ability to fight at their full potential. plus its not like only one nation benefits from its implementation all would get a massive boost in awareness and fight capabilities
Would be cool for sure, but our maps are far too small presently for that kind of game play.
It seems to me one of the main advantage of a gimbals AESA is when you dont want to have at least 2 (or better 4) aircrafts circling in opposite direction to keep a complete radar coverage over an area. Things like the gripen, which might be doing « guerilla » type warfare, taking off alone from a runway, defending an area of the sky alone using its gimbal.
On the other hand, the US generally never operates without a pretty massive military presence, as you said with AWACS, but even then they also use dozen of aircrafts at a time, which almost no other country does
your right and I know it but damn is it growing to be annoying not being able to notch while guiding missiles while everything else can.
Only hope I actually have is aircraft sharing radar info but how would that work if along side like a j20 as an f35 do you allow it since teammates or not because they would never be able to share battlefield data in real life.
ah fair, I cant say anything against that. Half the reason I’m veggie is I can’t stand the texture of most meats
👀
dont give cope i already have two much of this as a titanfall2 player
Haha fair enough. I’m sure it’s nothing, but I remain hopeful!
hahaha
okay today is the day
Link16 at the minimal plus loads more systems in play
I’m awake but I will allow it because its cool =p
Yeah they can support each fighter by sheer quantity of other fighters in the air all equipped with Link16.
