Astra mk1 being better is also a big question mark, while it pulls 40g, its burn time is 8 seconds +, more than aim120c5 with the same range, so gaijin might give it some mediocre accel which would hinder it in this meta
Knowing gaijin, he will roll a dice to decide its performance
iirc they’ve mounted ASRAAMs on TMCs so they could just, backport that to older IRs, so you get 4 + 2
I am aware of the ASRAAM double racks, but I don’t know if those would be compatible with other missiles, especially since the only other IR missiles the Tejas is compatible with are Python-5s and R-73s
R73 isnt compatible with that pylon
The Astra is said to have a max speed of Mach 4.5, but yeah, the acceleration would definitely matter
I wouldn’t compare it to the AIM-120C5 tho, as I don’t think the Tejas would be a good BVR platform and the AIM-120C5 is best used in BVR rather than WVR. I’d compare the Astra to the AIM-120A/B and the Derby instead
Yeah the Tejas would probably be a dogfighter more than anything else
Have there been any updates regarding the J-10C’s WS10B and other bugs?
Isn’t it more like 4 + 2?
Cause the Ir missiles have double racks
It’s so cursed but I love it lol
How is it cursed? Aside from you having no crew levels
Well for one thing both of these aircraft are in Britain a nation that never fielded these types but also it’s two aircraft that meant to be polar opposites are now in the same line up.
I guess, counterpoint muh common wealth
Man, the UK air tree will be so curse in the future, that’s why I’m doubting about what buy first, if the F-2 for Japan or the CF (the Bison it’s a mandatory buy for me this year) lol
Since I got the F-2 via Christmas I don’t need it this time but the Hawk is calling me since I want to challenge myself to only grinding sub tree stuff with sub tree tech so the Hawk would be alright for that when Indonisia comes lol
There goes my hopium of a South African Ratel gang pack :<
Britain already has a 3 vehicle pack anyway.

Isnt South African though and sadly vehicles I aint to fussed on. I do hope gaijin look into making those for the sub nations too where reasonable (and given South Africa is the first sub nation tree IIRC, having 1 for them would be neat, a Ratel 90, Ratel 20, and either G6 or a new Ratel twin 23mm SPAA would be pretty neat)
Even call it something like Ratels Revenge xD. Full Ratel lineup, imagine!
Maybe… 1 day…
Smin, would it be possible to maybe get also Higher tier 3 vehicle packs?
Like in the 9.7 area?
In theory it could carry 8 missiles, but there seem to be no images of the Tejas carrying 8 missiles (the in-board pylons seemingly never carry missiles, despite documentation claiming them to be capable of carrying and firing AAMs)
If only missiles that already are in the game are options, the Tejas would be limited to a 2 R-73 + 2 Derby loadout
If we include ASRAAMs, the max missile loadout would be 4 ASRAAMs + 2 Astras/Derbys
