Countermeasures advance along with the missile…
not really, they definitily have not advanced as much as missile seekers, and thats including ECM. Chaff is still a very simple concept
but in game AMRAAM seeker is very much under preforming along with agility so unless they fix those even the later ones wont be much better for GBAD
To be fair, these are still far more advanced in the game. Newest we have ingame is the B which IIRC isn’t all too much of an upgrade over the As, but the C-7? I think? That the SL-AMRAAM would be using would be miles better

thats true, however I doubt gaijin will model seeker improvements for the C7, they will probably only give it motor upgrades
if they were planning on realisticaly implementing AMRAAM seekers they wouldnt be underpreforming as much as they are RN
Except Pantsir can’t deal with top CAS, thus the imbalance is still in favor of CAS not Soviets.

Oh, yeah, at the moment. If the Magic II is any indication, it’s likely the current missiles (and upcoming ones) will get upgrades to their seekers and other stats as the game develops, so it’s likely that while they’ll be added undercooked eventually the AMRAAMs will get more realistic stats (hopefully)
I say this as an AAM-3/4 believer, lol
given that RN R77 seekers feel more reliable than AMRAAM I am not very hopeful about them ever getting realistic stats

I believe that’s currently to compensate for their performance, though I’m not too sure about even that
From what I’ve heard, it’s something about the R77’s flight stats being busted due to not modelling drag correctly at different speeds? Therefore their waffle grid fins hamper performance at every speed, rather than improving it at high speeds as they should.
my understanding is that in linear flight grid fins do have increased drag over conventional planer fins of the same size, including at high airspeed, but the fins have a higher lift to drag ratio at high supersonic speeds.
this would mean that maneuvering at those speeds would have less of an increase on drag than a missile with planer fins, and that smaller adjustments to fin angle would be needed for a corresponding change in missile course.
this is a somewhat indepth article on the topic

Fancy seeing you here
BTW I think you didn’t see my question to you in a different thread

I can avoid the pantsir in my F15E because its insanely fast but i wont be able to kill it if its paying attention to me. AGM65s are way to slow to kill the pantisr without being easily shot down

Try launching glide bombs around it in a large perimeter.
Lol funny you mentioned that i tried 🤣 they were all shot down it was a crazy kill feed
You could always climb outside its range and hit it from orbit.
While KH-38 slinger can kill any ground without even a single braincell being use.

even that doesnt work too well because at very high altitude f15e is a brick and an easy target, even more so if it is going slow enough to launch ordinance
Thats not the issue i was referring too. Its the issue that AGM65s are so slow the Pantsir can easily shoot them down
So identical to what Scorpion said about the F-15E.
