game wont be fun with IIR , if u add IIR to one tt everyone will start asking for it , wont suit the game unless they limit air rb to 5v5s or atleast 8v8s. 16v16 with iir would be unplayable. i wont play anything except the rafale getting free kills with mica ir.
New vehicles? Only really needed by Sweden and China.
New weapons brings nations onto closer parity and with the right additions in terms of A2G weaponary and appropriate gameplay, would add a lot more value than just adding new aircraft.

Well… I’d be quite happy with ASRAAM.
But yeah.
It would only ever be added to all at the same time.
But imo, that is still more balanced than only 2 nations getting HOBS
As we have seen many many times WT =/= IRL. For all we know, Gen 5 IRs will be fairly easy to flare and have lock range limits and limits to their HOBS

ig the trade off is that their fighters have sh1tty FM.
so where is the leaks?
anyone knows?
it’s so boring without the leaks
Rafale has a bad FM?

IIR will equalise the lethality for all ranges
AMRAAM and R-77-1 Rule at longer ranges while the short ranges are mostly knife fights rn so getting up close and personal is a Valid tactic to survive the AMRAAMs
back in the day it used to be the opposite, you did your best to stay away, outside of the IR range and used your Sparrows and R-24 to stay out of the IR deathzone
with IIR we’ll be back to the old meta, missiles will for once be Reliable and harder to escape again, yk as they used to be untill the great Flare buff that made many previously feared missiles almost useless
TLDR: we’ll see the return of a Meta only the older players will remember
addition: remember when R-60 made an Aircraft Unfairly imbalanced and R-60M pretty much ignored flares most of the time?
u do realize that mica ir will make it worse ?
Again…
- I can easily forsee lock range limits to mitigate ASRAAM and MICA IRs longer range (heck, Aim-9M has an artificially nerfed lock range)
- I can easily see IIR being no where near full strength, just like how Aim-9Ms and other IRCCM can be one flare defated and heck even Aim-9Ls shoudlnt be 1 flare defeats most of the time
- In a WVR fight, the Rafale and even the Su-30 hold a huge advantage over pretty much everything else they fight because Aim-9M sucks at close range

uh no ? mica ir will significantly outrange every other iir missile and u get 8 of those.
sounds like R-24T to me
new meta, just gotta learn to Deal with it
we always have, and oh boy we’ve cried so much harder in the past
where im originally from we have a phrase for this: Et hätt noch immer joot jejange
Rememebr when Aim-120 was considered OP because it had longer ranges and now its pretty mid now everyone knows how to turn 90°

Ask anyone the chatgpt about this update ;
oh yes, just like when AiM-7s were announced we predicted the end of the world and expected bland Spawn & Die matches that never happened

I may aswell ask the spider in the washing room for advice, but other than ChatGPT the spider is honest and won’t tell me lies
except the fact that mica ir will be the best iir missile , TVC ( good maneuverability) , highest range of all IIR missiles , u can carry more mica ir than any other IIR missile. 2 R 24T vs 8x mica ir with data link.
