Well, after comparing info sources a while ago with kizvy, there is no R-74 missile, only R-74M and M2 aka RVV-MD and MD2 in export.
MD2 is said to have longer but time for its motor. Can’t say anything about MD for now

Thanks a ton man.
Also what’s the difference between 73/74M/74M2?
I remember reading a while ago 74M had a higher gimbal limit and that 74M2 had a lower RCS for the Su-57, not sure how accurate that is.
74M has a gimbal increase, and a new dual-band seeker head. M2 has smaller fins to fit Su-57 side bays, has IOG and DL as well on top of dual band seeker

“No one is to blame for the fact that when the F-15 was created, its main competitors were the MiG-21, and to this day it is perhaps the most combat-capable aircraft ever made! It’s not my fault, it’s not America’s fault, and I’m not a fan of American doctrine! This opinion became widespread almost as an excuse from the USSR, as if they were saying: ‘We had the best aircraft 30 years ago, but then the Americans invented the F-15 and sent everything backward in time, which wasn’t fair!’ Those were simply the technological capabilities of the USSR at the time.
You’d better just play WT and watch your stats so they don’t get ruined, because you understand nothing about military technology! We’re talking about real machines, not BR and win rate!
I’ll tell you something else about the F-111, for example — the first aircraft in the world capable of fighting in all weather conditions 24/7, 365 days a year, and it entered service in 1967, which means it was designed at least 10–15 years earlier! For comparison, I’m not even sure people in the Eastern Bloc knew what a color television was at that time…
Also, the Su-27 was created as a direct competitor to the F-15 and was supposed to surpass it by 20 percent in everything! Yet despite being newer than the F-15, it falls behind in every single technical parameter! At least you should understand that, because there are statistics. The Cobra maneuver is something that in real life turns you into a flying target!
Anyone with an IQ higher than room temperature knows that a nation incapable of inventing a diesel car — or, generally speaking, a car that isn’t complete garbage — or a smartphone or a computer, simply cannot compare to the industry of countries that don’t use holes in the ground instead of toilets!”

The R-74M is an R-73 with a different seeker its capabilities are the same. The major changes are only found in the R-74M2, and even so, it still does not have the same capabilities as an AIM-9X.
You know this is an arcade game that tries to be realistic, right?
“tries”

they dont
aim 9m has a similar range to R 73 of around 30km maximum
while 9x has significantly reduced drag due to smaller fins, nose geometry, and removing the rollerons, so a 40-50km max range for 9x is reasonable
and its theoretically possible for more if the battery life was improved, because its also important to note the 30km 9m range is from the navy, so likely when launched by a super hornet meaning lower speed and altitude than something like an F15 or F22 launch

R-73 does have slightly better range performance realistically, but 9M has better acceleration and doesn’t kill itself as quickly
9X does not have a DL, it was added in BLK.2

Yeah I mixed them up
Games still a bag of pish, hand holding Russian tanks in top tier they don’t even need CAS anymore BMP-Ts and even T-80UE just rush forward and yes you may kill a few ultimately they overwhelm you and camp the spawn.
A hull down Russian tank is harder to deal with than a Leopard 2A7 or an M1A2. Took out a T-90Ms breach 4 times never once killed a crew member (you know how large and famously cavernous T-90s are!)
Unloaded 100+ 40mm darts into the side of a T-80BVM autoloader just ate all the shots and then he shot me in the face.
Game is unbearably dull at top tier.

in game yes
but in game 9m is missing some of its range
There are some absolutely massive skill issues in this part, holy.
So you shot the same guy in roughly the same spot 4 times and you didn’t either run him down to finish him or just leave him there for other targets?
The Ajax fires 200 rounds/min. So if we exclude ready rack shenanigans for now firing 100 rounds in an ajax would take 30 seconds of firing non stop.
So you were firing into the side of a BVM for 30 seconds straight and you didn’t think for a second to aim at different parts of the side?
T-series can be annoying to deal with for autocannons, yes, but if you are telling the truth 100+ 40mm shells for a single T-80BVM is an unbelievable skill issue.

He is lying. I’d bet money on it. The RR is 62 rounds, so itd take close to 10 minutes assuming he fires after every replenished round.
