Ill try compile videos if i can for the skyflash to see if it cant go somehere man worth a shot!
yeah, would be interesting to see, Save the replays too, the sensor view is awesome for seeing exactly what happened

I know. I just dont like how short range they are.
Wild. R24r is probably at least half of mine.
I just use the acm. It tends to lock things well regardless and i dont fire the r24r past 12km so the acm’s 10km range works well enough for me.
cant do sht with it if you cant get a stable radar lock.
Ill show you my last match, 3 kills, 4th dude a mig23ML flying directly towards me, 7km distance, at an upwards angle, my ACM wouldnt lock him, at all, nothing around him, no clutter, nada. Yet his R24 somehow manage to bypass the multipath and pull about 35G s in one go xD
the game definitely has RNG on the missiles it feels.
R-24R are worth about 1.5 maybe 2x Skyflash DFs in my book. They are insanely good and the only way they are even slightly balanced below 12.0 is because of the poor radar and limited count

The missile is good, wont argue that at all, but the major issue is getting it off the fkin rails, know what I mean.
Teh DF skyflash would be a lot better had we actually a decent PD radar on the phantoms that use em too
Doesnt the mld get more modern avionics? That is kinda a big deal in sim at least.
No, its functionally identical in game to the ML apart from it has slats on the wings.
So well itll have a better AoA and instantaneous turn than the MLA, ML it loses more speed…
It has i believe the best RWR out all the floggers.
you are missing peak tbh. you can RELIABLY BVR in mig23ml and mld with r24r. ive gotten 20-30km bvr kills with this missile. chaffing is technically useless if you are going straight. Only strat to beat is to kind of notch and chaff or go cold and chaff to beat the missile
but still id prefer MTI at high alt if i had a option
Sorry what? xD as soon as I lock folks even past 10km they just ping one chaff and the lock breaks.
The missile is more chaff resistant sure but 30km shots? thats AFK folks mate sorry to tell you.
Can do the same with an Aim7 at 20km if theyre afk…
Ive got thousands of games between rank 7 and 8 alone, the R24R aint all that. Don’t get me wrong it isn’t bad, but genuinely its not some super missile
It barely does ever since they buffed the src radar on f4e and mig23 recently. However even if it locks to chaff after launch, your missile will very reliably home into the enemy, considering you don’t break the lock on the chaff and keep the enemy in the general forward direction. Go try it today in a downtier
Ive used both and aced both in the last week…
The radars still break for chaff regularly the difference is the R24R has a chaff filter or something to that effect so once it launches, if the person doesnt change direction the missile in theory should land.
Or i could just shoot the person and then use the 24r when folks try to run away.
Today, a f4 chaffed my lock and turned around 80 degrees at 10+km. At first my missiles was slightly confused but then it simply homed into the target. This is prob due because even if the lock is chaffed, the target still comes in front/side lobes of the radar. With the chaff filters, it knows what reflections are chaff and what is the target hence it rams into the target. Its kind of similar when you lock and launch a sarh on a target but it ends up hitting another maneuvering target.
I will try to show you a clip tmmrw
Problem I noticed trying to bvr in mig23, is the rwr cant pick up other mig23 so you have no idea if you are being locked or even visible. I fly the MLD if that is the problem.
Lol maybe were using different R24R’s mate xD mines barely even track half the time theyve got a full solution.
again I tend to get gun kills or R60 kills n use hte R24s when someones legging it away
again, go try bvring with the r24r today, dont break the lock even if it is chaffed
Why would i bvr with it, ive spaded both the mig23MLD and mig23M now.moved onto the mig29
Must say the fulcrum is banging fun.
(Btw i was attempting to bvr with the r24 and it would never hit, i changed my tactics with it and got tbe mld into a positive KD)
I would not fire the r24r outside of 12km.

Yeah i read up in tbem when i got the r23 on the M variant dw, i was using them between max km and min 1.3 in the headon.
