people just get helluva lot worse i guess
I agree, but it messed up the damage dealt to jets.
Fun fact, even after reverting it and changing the damage system, the missiles are so bad at killing targets.
Just a few minutes ago I’ve had a match in the Aesa Typhoon where my C5 headed for a strike eagle cockpit, perfectly hit him and dealt only a Crit… quite ridicolous if you ask me

i had a few days like that, but then the last 2 days its been pretty crazy, my missiles always land and do a ton of damage.
I’ve seen this with the R77s and Mica, my amraams on the other side are “HIT” simulator, idk what the hell happened, but it’s like a kill assist fiesta lately.

I liked the fact that they were adding detailed modules for top tier jets, like the f18s.
At least with that system the jet abilities get rightfully disabled when a specific component is hit.
The change that they reverted made the disabling effect pretty RNG, but the solution they brought now doesn’t really help either haha.

Complete inconsistency. One game in SM i have both of my wings ripped off and engine is on fire, but i am perfectly capable to lock and launch an R-77-1 from a nacelle mount. Other game i only have a slightly yellow parts of an airframe and my entire FCS is disabled.
Honestly, I have 0 clue what they are trying at all at this point, If the missile hits center weight, the HE damage should decapitate everything including wings and not even severe but rather straight up get you that kill. Now, if there was a proxy fuse, or shrapnel damage from an explosion away. Then yeah we can talk about severe or critical hits, that result in loss of functionality in one way or another.
Not sure why they want to cater to the audience of multipathers honestly.

idk i havent played much amraam aircraft as theyre pretty crap and ive had my fill of 13.7 amraams slingers which are the only ones that are enjoyable for me
13.3 and 13.0 amraam sligners are quite fun due to their br, their horrendous turning doesnt matter as much as you get to shoot at clueless players that just blow up
*edit was talking about amraams turning
i can see that but im not an f16 guy and dont really own any 13.0’s with amraams(although the tornado is quite literally my favourite aircraft irl lol).

you did not put F-16ADF and horrendous turning in the same sentence, didn;t you?
hes probably referring to F4F ICE and Tornado F3 Late
Or to the amraam itself, after i gave it a second thought. My brain is still a bit frozen (-33 degrees outside today)
was talking about amraam’s turning , probably shouldve made it more clear

i think Phantom isn’t the worst turner even at 13.0. Tornado - yeah, i played ADV and it is incredibly boaty, but F-4F should be much better with Agile Eagle and the fact that it is lightest Phantom airframe on the market
i dont have it but in my experience f4e and derivatives are pretty great at turning in certain situations
man i dont have any issue with playing mediocre aircraft like the f15ge but the fact the amraams are still as they are makes me stay away from it like the plague, and generally ive had such a good streak with datalink r-77-1 that whenever i try to play an amraam aircraft it feels like im playing a reserve tier aircraft compare to how oppressing the r-77-1 is.

Well, enjoy it while it lasts what can i say. Russia will probably won’t have a better missile (R-77M most certainly won’t pull as hard with conventional fins) and Gaijin can make later 120 models into pretty much whatever they want since most of the characteristics are classified to some extent
gaijin will likely shift the meta to next generation IR missiles next patch, which will likely mean us will still be pretty close to the bottom.
On par with Russia probably. RVV-MD is pretty much R-73 with dual band seeker from my understanding
