Oh no Ron we have enough of that with the roundabout painters and hotel shouters in this country.
up to 3x and up to 6x compared to AIM-9L, not AIM-9X.
Oh, my bad, thought it was 9X
shouldnt it effectively not matter since the 9x uses the booster of the 9m and the 9m is more or less kinematically the same as the 9l
The AIM-9X is likely quite a bit less draggy than the AIM-9L/M, but the TVC module probably degrades motor performance slightly. Personally I expect AIM-9X to have a bit more range than AIM-9L/M.
fair enough
Yeah I don’t get it, why bother adding such a feature if you are going to just break it and leave it dead for ages?
Also off topic and not related I know but I know there’s a few people here play Skycards, currently the Super Guppy is flying from El Paso.

Cool
If anyone cares to report it:
Ataka missile should go from 6km range → 5.8km
Vikhr missile penetration should go from 800mm → 1,000mm
Vikhr missile speed should go from 600m/s → 610m/s

Yeah I agree they should add another Ka-52
Spoiler
Birds are OP AF! Imagine Missiles and Guns just giving “HIT”…oh wait -_-
Also i noticed that despite the video talking about the Ka-52K which is the ship borne variant, the the variant being shown in the walk around is very clearly not a Ka-52K but most probably a Ka-52E due to the fact it doesn’t have the short folding stub wings of the K and has Antennas for the the L-150 rwr which neither the Ka-52K or normal Ka-52s for that matter have been seen with.

Yeah no Ka-52 for Russia should really have an RWR but gaijin based the on we have in game after Rosoboronexport’s Ka-52E display, hence L-150
(Both pictures from Kalashnikov’s website)
For the Vikhr penetration bit, I doubt it’d get passed by the devs… seems like others have tried to report it but they seem to be stuck on 800mm even if it’s probably more than that since most figures out pen are “Behind Dynamic protection” or something like that…
Personally I am fine with it having an RWR and its not the only instance of this happening in game either. The US F-5Cs countermeasures come to mind for example but i am sure there are more than a few other instances of this happening in game.
Me looking at the scout drone as it eats the 5th AIM-92K i fired at it…
Spoiler
but yeah they need to fix Drone damage and they also need to make it so you can actually lock them with both radar and IR at a reasonable distance, I highly doubt the 90s era stinger K seeker has trouble locking a drone of that size past 1km irl.
also as an aside giving recon drones the ability to do spotting assists was a mistake.

well… yes Denying Meteor because it has more range than AiM-120D is absolutely possible

i dont think the range difference is the issue here. the no escape zone is
do you mean the 100km No escape zone of the Meteor or the 25km one of the ASRAAM now?
