Well I have been grinding for the IAR-93B with the Mig-29smt and su-25sm3 and I haven’t noticed any changes maybe its just me.
I don’t know bro maybe it’s just me have this feeling but I highly believe that there has been a change.
The missiles file data is the exact same as before, literally zero things have changed

nup just a skill issue change on your hand then
there literaly have been no changes, you just are picking your shots worse or your enemies are smarter and flare enough / pull enough

Damn i wanna get the R73 people in this thread seem to have, cuz so far 9M is miles ahead in its IRCCM and no smoke motor. Doesnt pull?? just properly aim your missile and it hits 99% of the time.
By saying it doesn’t pull nearly enough, i’m comparing it to the R-73. You can pull some insane BS with the R-73 and it always gets a good laugh out of me. After all, games are for fun
I still need to figure out just how close i need to get for the r73’s IRCCM to work. Yesterday, i fired one from 1.5km out behind a jet. He turned, flared, and the r73 lost lock.
I agree and I don’t want to compare WT to DCS but I have to say that at least in DCS even the early r-73’s are quite scary and require proper flaring and engine cut vs WT where you need to get within high-fiving distance for it to not be one flared. The other problem is r-73’s are dog fighting missiles in a meta where the aim-9M is invisible so forcing a dogfight can be difficult especially in sim if you don’t know what your about to merge with and don’t pre flare. Su-27sm at least lets you know if it’s an aim-9M launcher because of its rwr but at the same time you get so little CM’s that you have to limit your pre flaring or else you’ll be out by the second merge
Are you trying to say it’s just better than the 9M? Because I’d say the opposite in most circumstances…

Your opinion will hardly be considered valuable due to your nickname
Issue you’ll have arguing with yanks is if their missile doesn’t pull twice the overload of the thrust vectoring missiles, they’ll call it bad. In spite of the fact that it pulls entirely good enough for most launches, has flare rejection that actually works, and is smokeless.
73 barely works in most launch aspects, can be 1 tap flared even at point blank, and doesn’t pull remotely enough to use effectively in a dogfight on account of the issues with thrust vectoring in general. But they’ll still claim that 9M is worse. The only time 73 is better is when fighting Americans, funnily enough, given their insistence on keeping their afterburner going whilst flaring.
What’s wrong with my nickname? You thinking it has anything to do with the current discussion is a flaw on your behalf.

And now you exaggerate in the other direction, I don’t agree it’s that bad either.
It is better than nothing, an improvement on R60 sure. But flying against it, and with it, 9Ms are a hell of a lot more consistent. 73 barely pulls in a dogfight (and if it does pull, spins out 50% of the time), and only really has a hope of pulling adequately to track in 1km launches, any further and the flare rejection fails immediately. At 1km, the flare rejection fails consistently but if they’re stupid it works fine. Opposed to a 9M that has effective flare rejection at most ranges unless the person goes through appropriate procedure. This is leaving out magic, which even in its neutered state (poor flare rejection, limited range compared to reality), still is better than 73.
Shit’s not an exaggeration. 73 is incredibly mediocre compared to the competition.
why lie?
Huh. I only had an R-73 spin out once, and I launch them with no boundaries, if i see a possible opportunity, might as well launch it.
I personally agree that america is better than russia in the aviation industry but in the case of R73 I must say that the americans also accepted this missile it is much better than the aim9m and that is why they produce the aim9x.
Are you still having the same issue? I’m playing sim and it feels the same when I was an ARB a couple months ago, I was getting hits with it Quite often. Now I’m missing head on shots with an A10 or other aircraft That barely maneuver or don’t And sometimes they’re not even flaring and I miss and it’s not a long Distance it’s Under 5km at the most.
