Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

the deal did happen, russia just never delivered any of the tanks to india and tbh with out that india has literally nothing that could be considered 12.0

Yeah I saw that they tested them. Don’t know if the integration carried over. Doesn’t look like the navy kept interest in BOL.

Well good thing India is a sub tree and not its own

The Typhoon cant find the Rafale the radar is terrible.

All the Rafale had to do is defend the 120s and then
Get to the medium/short range where it dominates.
If you are getting intercepted by 120s from a Typhoon at 40+ Km that really is a skill issue.

yeah shame the UK gets lumped with 2 Sub trees that provide zero top tier tanks but every other sub gets to have 12.0s

They didn’t deny the R-73M for the SU-30SM so there is a chance for that

Which line Will su30sm be added ?

Su-27SM

Wouldn’t be the first time they gave a US aircraft less CMs than a foreign operator, 120 is low but not unusable, guess we’ll have to wait and see

Just means India is going to have to provide its value for air, so MKI is almost necessary without a top tier MBT.

I would like to see the NAMICA at some point though

listen bro I’m not in the mood to debate with someone who keeps shifting the goalpost.

The original point was that the comparison of the MICA to the AIM-120 was ridiculous because they’re missiles that excel at two different things.

I added on to that that in spite of the MICA existing since Seek and Destroy, the meta jets at top tier have (and still are) the fastest jets with AIM-120s due to BVR performance.

You then came out of left field with this out of nowhere comparison of “well what if the MICA had the same range as the AIM-120” (which is a stupid hypothetical because it doesn’t, but I entertained it)

The Typhoon still has the speed advantage which matters a lot in regards to BVR. (it’s the reason the F-15E and Typhoon are considered the best jets for their respective times)

Then you run to the next excuse of “well it’s just skill issue”

Wont be BOL thoigh so large cms are much better

I assume they’ll be medium not large

After only 24 J-10B were manufactured, they were all upgraded to J-10C for production

My point is;

AIM-120 excels at theorically reaching ranges that add no true combat value because everyone just defends easily from said ranges.

MICA excels at anihilating anything from existence within the ranges most of the gameplay actually takes place at.

do you have the two planes in question out of curiosity?

Is it planned to rework and refine the accuracy of target tracking radars? At the moment, they are several times less accurate than in reality. There are problems with tracking targets at a distance of more than 10 km, although almost all radars in the game can confidently track targets at least 15-18 km and further (depending on the model), all targets are targets without stealth systems. The same applies to optical IR target tracking machines, they capture targets much closer than they should in bad weather.

Sounds to me like you wont accept the Rafale is the most played and the has the highest WR of any of the new jets.

Someone showed you a video of a MICA pulling a 180 and your response was yeah but AMRAAMs have longer range.

When launched in same conditions, MICA EM is slightly faster or equal to AIM-120A/B in-game.

I do not- but I DO face both. And all I know is that I can evade AIM-120s launched from 3912 km away because it’s relatively easy to just notch and chaff the RWR signal you get for 20 seconds before the missile is even close to me, but, on the other hand, I can hardly do anything against MICAs launched at actual gameplay ranges, particularly from comically extreme angles of attack in dogfights.

Most of the few times I die to long range launches is because I’m alt-tabbed. However, the moment a MICA is launched from actual gameplay ranges, there’s little to nothing that can be done about it.

I wish I had the Rafale and its multiversal travelling MICAs, but the grind is too time-consuming and expensive, so I feel like I can’t really grind any more trees at the present time.
