Hornblower, each ep is about an hours long iirc

I think in my humble opinion the AIM-120C will pull worse due to boost only motor, and higher delta v.

There is no Fox3 that will pull as well as the MICA EM, however that is because there doesn’t need to be, at the ranges where it matters, missiles like the 9X, ASRAAM, etc. will all do the same thing, arguably better, on account of the IR seeker being able to lock more reliably, so once those missile come, the MICA EM will be perfectly balanced

True, but I doubt we’ll see AESA be anything stronger than what we see with the Pantsir/ASRAD-R
I don’t need the misile to be identical to MICA, but an upgrade would be nice.
Same reasoning as with M1A2 SEPv3. I don’t need it to be identical to Strv 122 and I don’t expect it to be; but it would still be a nice upgrade to SEPv2.
The way I see it; most successful engagements are all <12 km, because, past that range, it becomes very easy to evade missiles with defensive maneuvers. So I think a missile that excels within 12 km is better than a missile that theorically can hit targets 600 km away, because people at those ranges will defend and evade anyway.
Regardless, it appears that the consensus is that AIM-120A is enough, so… yeah, I will just zip it when it comes to planes and missiles. As I said, this is outside of my area of expertise, so I prefer not to talk about something I may be wrong about and I admit it xD
Rafale compensates by having a better Radar
Carrying more ARHM than the Typhoon
And having similar kinematic performance.
So if you give the MICA the same 120 range then what is the Rafale bad at?

India never got any, Instead they go for domestic T-90S modifications.
It’s best to place the T-90MS variations in the Russian branch where they actually exist.

Shouldn’t the mica reach the target way after the aim120 would reach it even if it was unnerfed anyway?
Question comes will the SEPv3 have optional ERA.

It’s a shorter burn time but it is lighter. Perhaps it’s drag is lower?
If they’re going to buff the MICA, which they should, it should be after everyone else gets an upgrade as well, like with the Magic 2, if that thing had it’s current capability when it was added, it would have broken the game

They chose to buff the number the Rafale can carry.
Instead of buffing the range.
Then they opt to use the domestic version T90 bhishma mk III

Yeah, that was because of the Mirage 2000, I don’t think they should have done it but here we are
Question; how many countermeasures can F/A-18E carry?
Ever since I got used to Eurofighter’s 384, I feel like I could not play with any less lmao. I carry 264 chaff and 120 flares.
Yeah and even if, we could get the Wildcat Heli with Martlet LMM’s too but its just a big NO❌🚫
it’s significantly slower… which matters A LOT.
It’s evident you guys dont understand what the best plane in ARB is and why-
I mean, they contain parts from RAF aircraft.
Also, you do keep trying to move the goalposts just to suit yourself

Saw someone on here earlier post that it only had 60 countermeasures, but I have no clue if that is true so take it with a large pinch of salt.
EDIT: quick google search gives 120, so I’m fairly sure the above is incorrect.

I mean, the Typhoon and Rafale are effectively tied for first, the Typhoon performs better at the start of a match, but you’d rather have the Rafale at the end to clean up
