[Poll] Remove the R-27ER from the early MiG-29 variants

R-27R is only bested by the R-27ER among all the other SARH missiles. If anything is a sidegrade to the Aim-7P that is wallet locked

If you say otherwise, you don’t understand IOG and DL mechanics.

and the F-16A BLK10 is at 12.3 and not at 12.7

yeah ? he said F16A load out is better in its current state its about even cause R60MK is useless that high of a BR F16A has a far higher kill potential since aim9L is the best none IRCCM missle

he is talking about the F-16A in the french tech tree, which gets the 9M

OH no yeah with 9M with F16A airframe goes insane since there invisible and your OP FM makes them basically 40G

should’ve just used the netz its 12.7 and has even better python 3

Its far from useless, I often get 1-2 kills from my remaining R-60Ms on the mig-29.

They have a similar hit rate to the 9L for me, but are used in different ways/playstyle.

The mig-29 loadout is on par with the m2k s5 (amazing 2x SARH vs amazing 2x IRCCM), but inferior to the yak141 and probably the premium F-18C early. But the F-18 sparrows are very buggy and the jet is too slow to be consistently good like the mirage or the mig29

Why?

Oh I fully understand them, it’s just that, they don’t exactly tip the scales that much when your missile has bad range and acceleration to begin with… the R27R is fine but it does not do as much as you think it does.

The time to target is similar to everything within 10km. Most SARHs shot at over that distance are too easy to defeat.

Then the 27R/aim7p has IOG and DL which makes the missile much harder to notch at closer ranges, but considering the amount of bugs related to sparrows and F-18 radar guidance. The R-27R easily takes the cake as the best SARH after the 27ER

agreed, 27r/er only sarh that can’t be out rolled. actually you can’t outroll sidjeel either but that thing has a horrendous proxy delay.

if you launch the sedjil at a range where you are concerened wit hthe proxy delay then you are wasting a missile

5 seconds TTI is absolutely a reasonable time to fire a missile, it’s just horrendous because its proxy is 5 seconds. thats like 6 km headon. thing has the best kinematics in the game but is stuck on a horrendous platform in terms of radar

The decompression already occurred.

Premiums have nothing to do with the compression.
F-18C Early is 12.7 because Su-27 is 13.0. The compressing tech tree vehicle is making F-18C a victim which itself causes issues for 12.0.

Nah. Bare minimum was done.

some specific users in this thread might argue it’s actually better than mig29 radar

no ones doing that lolol, f-14 radar is horrendous and i think even the most braindead people would agree with that

IRL it is but ingame its washed cause iran still has F14As in service and we cant let them get manuals on AWG-9 to repair them radars doing the bare minimum

The manual is declassified, it is just not available online afaik

its export restricted

sorry but a faster scan rate isn’t going to help you when the target happens to be not head-on anymore
