Can confirm.
Some other missiles (pretty much all ARH missiles?) got changes as well. Most of them are drag (buff) changes.
Did they fixed the agility or?
PL-12 yes got changes first glance, but I can’t tell in actuality if it’s a positive change or no.
Someone with access to dev server has to confirm
Yes

Unfortunately no R-27 changes this update :(
On the bright side, the base R-77 doesn’t have as high drag anymore so that’s nice.

Indeed.
MICA is now Mach 4.5 top speed, (slightly) lower drag, TVC angle looks like a nerf (probably to make it better long range?) , max range changed from 50 to 80 km, same ish loft angle as AIM-120, etc

Did the R-77 get changed?
Yes. Drag buff and some other stuff. Standby
Base R-77 should in theory not lose as much energy as it does now.
R-77-1 same deal, but thrust is toned down slightly (like 2%?, not much, basically an adjustment due to lower drag)
Noicee
yeah, in test drive it still turns. like absolute crazy tho. Picks up speed a lot faster and TVC with stronger boost is insane
The TVC nerf shouldn’t matter. It’s still a 50 g missile so in theory the fins should be working in tandem with TVC a lot more (to achieve roughly the same AoA)
Does the buffed data for the PL-12 feel like it was just arbitrarily filled in this time?The normal ToStab distance should be 0.22–0.25 cm, but 0.5 was entered here.

Sees to just be some missile changes, bomber damage model tweaks, TT and statcard icon changes, and some more stuff for the NE maps.

Want to get on the dev rn but stuck at work for another 2 hours :(
It’s jkust not a nerf. Fin angle was finally buffed, and the TVC with a stronger booster and lower TVC angle still outperforms the previous turn radius. I actually struggled not making the missile spin out before this clip
Obviously this is test dive and we will see how it performs on live servers
How much is the range improved by?
For now, just a feeling, but it seems to be about 10-15% (maybe a bit more) better ?
I usually test fire the missile in test drive (1km altitude spawn) directly at the furthest mig15 AIs. Previously they were outside of the max range when spawning, but now they are inside the max range but about twice as far as the NEZ
