R73s for mig29s

Then don’t, and it won’t make you look stupid.

I played Gripen and Eurofighter. If 9M is as good as o found at 14.3 and 13.7 then it will be even better at 12.7

I literally going trough US tech tree right now purely because I would be able to clown on 12.7 bracket in “fair and balanced” F-15A

I would always take an r73 over than an Aim9m

These audios need to be studied :')

we need decompression not more compression, F-15 shouldn’t be 12.7

At this point it’s just fantasies. Sure we can fantasize about 15.0 br, perfect balance and decompression, but i rather face reality and make claims based on that, rather than some hypotheticals

am I seeing an opertunity for a shameless plug?

su-27 and its deritatives at 13.0 definitely should go up to 13.3
theyre ridiculous at 13.0, best 13.0s in the game

Because R-60Ms are still A historical loadout.
And it’s cool to have a Mig-29 with the first ever loadout at a lower BR.

Not until Su-30 is at 13.3

Not at 12.7 where IRCCM missiles nowadays are as common as fleas on a stray dog

Then those aircraft move up, which is what I’ve been arguing for years.

Thats just fantasies. Reality is that 12.7 br is filled with IRCCM fox-2s. Currently MiG-29 has nothing going for it to justify 13.0

6x R-73s, which most 13.0s are stuck with equivalents to.

French F-16 has 6 9Ms at 12.7 with better flight model and avionics.

As both a mig user as well as an F-15 enjoyer, i can definitely say that Aim-9Ms are more consistent at hetting kills than the R-73 even though you have HMS on the Mig-29. Especially when most planes at that br have a decent amount of countermeasures and can spam flares.

And Kfir C10 is 13.0 with inferior weapons, but good radar.
SHAR 2, AV-8B+, Viggen Di, Gripen A, F-5TH TCU, F-14A IRIAF, F-14B, Mirage 4000, and honorary mention to Tornado F3 Late.

Mig-29 with R-73s is equal to or better than 12 13.0s in the game.
That also means F-16 is equal to or better than 12 13.0s in the game.
F-15A is superior to 12 13.0s in the game.

So unless you’re claiming those 12 13.0s should be 12.7 instead, moving 5? 12.7s back up makes more sense.

Quite few have pointed out here on forums that last major (or one prior) somehow messed up gatewidth IRCCM (missiles like R-73 and Magic 2 which rely on that type of IRCCM)

Since when Derby is inferior to R-73? It’s like 3rd or 4th best Fox-3 nowadays, right after R-77s ans PL-12

Not sure why you’re arguing Derby is inferior to R-73.
Derby is a Fox-3, they’re different missile types sir.
