R-24R is inferior to AIM-7M.
R-24R, along with R-27R, are Super 530D and SuperTEMP equivalent.
If an R-24R or any other missile hit you, you were higher than you initially thought, and/or chose not to defeat its host’s radar.

I own the thing and am well aware of it. Just as effective as any standard PD radar in my experience.
7m is copy paste 7f at higher br, r24r is much more reliable than 7f especially at low alt

Hell nah
The R-24R is a pretty good missile, don’t get me wrong, but it’s nothing really special. The only aircraft to carry it have only 2, and the missiles have extremely low energy compared to anything with a boost-sustain. I find them to be pretty identical in performance to the Skyflash, though the better platform of the MiG-23 makes it easier to make the most of the missiles.
Just stay low in head ons, blow through, and keep your distance and outrange the enemy.
For splitting hairs, there’s 3 jets actually using those.
2 x in USSR Mig 23 Ml & Mld
1x German. (mig 23 Mla )

Idk where you’ve learned that the R24R cant be countered by flying low, but it can , just like any other SARH missile in the game
No, he’s saying the aircraft that can carry the R-24 can only carry a pair

1st of all → Radar missile counter methods is to go Cold, and chaffs.
That’s what you guys amhave to do for a good decoy answer.

I’ve had instances where certain pieces of land don’t register for missiles via multipathing feedback, but other than that I don’t what could have caused that… strange
My suspicion. SB can be buggy. Skyflash can be buggy. SB + Skyflash = Super Buggy

The R-24R is a great missile, almost like a short-range R-27ER, it’s better than every sparrow because it is much harder to notch and it has inertial guidance which works like a know-it-all all magic seeker for a short time the way gaijin implemented it. The only downside is the radars that guide them, but still very good performance and reliability overall when compared to non soviet missiles
In my experience the Aim7 is only good at killing bomber-sized targets flying in a straight line.
At all other times flying directly at it will cause it to miss, flying directly away from it will cause it to miss, actually notching it will cause it to lose lock and miss.
If it has IOG, then that will be why the R24R feels a lot stronger at low alt
He’s saying THE ONLY aircraft to carry have only two.
So it’s quite clear he’s talking about there is only one single plane what can carry those, and it’s just 2 missiles on it. Or did I read it wrong?
Have is plural, I’m talking about multiple aircraft. The three aircraft that have R-24Rs carry only a pair each.

INS as Gaijin implemented it to my knowledge just maintains a lead-course or fin deflection when lock is dropped as opposed to the Sparrow or others just going back to neutral fin position / straight flight.
It is ever so slightly harder to counter than the Sparrow, but the radar and missile are not OP in my opinion. You may have had a case for the R-24R at 11.3 back in the day… but not anymore.
Yes, Have is plural, but when u say THE ONLY it’s not plural anymore, it’s meaning changes, to only one. Now, stop and face that you were wrong. Or mispronounced anyway, that sentence made it talk about one, not many.
The only people that think only means a singular individual are idiots like yourself. They don’t realize that only can signify a group or collection, not only to a single item.

The ONLY AIRCRAFT or ONLY AIRCRAFTS , you see the difference, or are you one of those only people who cant face when they are wrong, and try to argue, you cant turn shit in to gold, no matter how much you try to speak that.

to be fair mig23 can be counted as one aircraft regardless of version, only mig23’s have r24r
