yeah and sparrows had a higher hit rate IRL yet ingame they perform worse meaning certain factors that would balance it out dont exist ingame which make it op
at 13.0 there is really no counter to these missiles other than the 13.0 AIM 120A slingers like the ICE which are far less in numbers than SU27s and Su33s which should be 13.3
My in-game hit rate with sparrows is higher than IRL, because I launched them within their parameters. It’s like well over 80% hit rate.
Others have less.
Because hit rate is a skill challenge between two opposing aircraft.
ingame theres way less factors in hit rate than IRL hence why also dubious buffs to certain things
all the kinematics mean nothing if it has a bad seeker which is why it should recieve seeker nerfs and its real kinematics
not to mention the best sparrow models are locked behind pay walls or made useless by being at 14.0
looks at AIM-7P
You have to remember, this is export r 27r seekerhead, gaijin has access to a technical manual on the r-27 that’s not available to public, that I presume they’re using to model the missile.
They’ve used non public sources before for their modeling of the mig-29/su-27 series and their avionics.
The mig-29b radar operations manual is of an export variant, and the figures in game are much better than the ones that are present in this book simply because export versions are much heavily downgraded compared to their domestic model. I presume this is why the r-27 is much better in game than it is irl, almost all firings of it in combat were also export variants and not domestic. Albeit the reason why they sucked irl were likely not due to it being ass but actually due to not being properly maintained which is not and should not be modeled in game
then they should be simply be higher BR for balance reasons zero reasons to keep them 13.0 as they have the BVR meta at that tier cornered
Yeah but air is too compressed in general and i like seal clubbing
W reasoning
Best 13.0s in my opinion are the Su-27 and Su-33
Agreed, and it’s not really close
Their seeker seems to be even better than most fox3s lol
its bias really that there this good as no other country gets to use export restricted documents they should only be based on publicly available documentation if what kizvy is saying is true
The F14 came before the R27ER
did it? damn i feel old
bro no it didt, f14 and aim54 came after r27er, ur tripping. tryna gaslight me smh
You would be surprised to know how many missiles IRL have 100% hit rate (0), so by that logic every missile in the game would get a massive nerf.
F14A came with the Danger Zone update on the 15th of June 2022 and the 27ER came not with the Apex Predators update, but a while AFTER it (23rd of December 2022) because gaijin added the F16 ADF that they themselves acknowledged made the Mig 29 irrelevant, so they prenerfed the flight performance and gave it the 2 27ERs
Mig-29 came much later than f-14
no they didnt, in air rb mig 29 had a much better flight model on release
they gave it 27ER because R73 wasnt ready to be added despite being on dev so they took those away but gave it 27ER
