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.
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?
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.
It’s not just the missle, it’s more the lethal combo of the MTI radar mode on the MiG 23s and the R24 which make it work really well at low altitude.
It should go up, but so should most things to decompress the BRs. The MiG 23s vs later F4s variants like EJ KAI or F4S and Tornado F.3 is quite an enjoyable matchup because they each have their strengths and weaknesses that balance each other out quite well
nah, I played against it and with it and it was crazy op and now it likes to just go straight without following the lock or dive into the ground more often than it used to with that SARH bug or whatever it is
high acceleration, harder pull than that of sparrow, insanely chaff resistant (despite the mti radar somewhat sees high concentrated chaff puffs) and a 100m proximity radius. This missile would place the f-4e at 12.3 if it had four of them. And yet the MiG23 ML has two of them, better flight performance, a great radar and sits at 11.3. The only ways to deter an r24r is by shooting it down with your own missile, going down to make it smash the ground since it has the same archaic “follow target’s every move” like the sparrows do, or go cold.
