Because the r74M is literally a slightly better r73. It could be added now and you wouldn’t exactly notice much.
Spoiler
This is ofc compared to other modern ir missiles where Russia has nothing since k30 failed
I’m getting that badboy as soon as I get home if the update is this week or I’m getting it on release day if it releases next week.

Oh maybe they meant R-74M2
That’s also not a upgrade. Or even close literally r74M made to fit in su57

literally all it does is finally add IIRCM and make it smaller to fit in the Su57s weapon bays
The RCAF called then Sabre Mk 4, not CL-13. Tho indeed the UK really should have the Sabres they used, even more so as the Mk 4 was custom-built for them.
Self-plug for one of the many RCAF Sabre suggestions I did. Using the name Canada called them Sabre Mk #.
If it’s the same, then R-74M would be an actual upgrade.
R74m has irccm. It’s not special to r74m2
Not really it’s just made slightly small to fit in the su57 bay 🤷♀️

I get that R74M2 is the same practically to R74M is what you’re saying. But I’m saying R-74M would still be an upgrade over the ingame R-73 then.
My understanding is that R-74M2 (over ingame R-73) has:
- More range
- More gimbal limits
- Dual seeker shutoff + seeker fov reduction
- Datalink

It’s a upgrade. Just ass compared to every other modern middle since k30 failed
Yeah I get that it’s not a real IIR missile irl, I don’t get how it would be bad ingame though when all the other IIR missiles would be downgraded to the same seeker as R-74M. In fact, R-74M would be modeled to be better than some missiles.
I think it’ll be a good sidegrade to IIR weapons, especially once they model datalink properly, on top of the seeker capabilities.
Because it’s worse then literally everything. Iris-t, asraam, 9x, p4-5 everything is more agile has a better seeker has a longer range r74M2 is just not good it’s a late 80s (if that) missile dressed as a modern new missile.
It’s not a bad missile it’s just the worse by alot of its competition
Guys omg it out, update is tomorrow
Spoiler
ha it’s a joke lol
what about IIR missiles that also have datalink?
Guess no update tmrw
