You really think so?
I haven’t used a mica so I can’t speak to its affect, but R-77-1 distance performance is crap.
That’s why I like the Aim-120 so much, at distance I was king.
If they tried to hide, I’d turnt he radar off, pull an aim-9m out and and get them while they look for my radar ping. Not like they knew the 9m was coming anyways.
I’ve heard otherwise, that it’s distance performance is comparable to 120A/B but it’s much much better in close range and maneuverability
If we are going off of this basis, everyone does that. Except in most cases of the “big 3” Russia is typically the last to get anything substantial.
That is true. I’m not a big fan of the Su-30sm radar all that much though, it’s good, it’s just controller is very hard to use it effectively.
Short range, R-77-1 is king,
Long range, aim120 is king.
It’s all how you play it tbh.
The performance of the fake Soyuz is way higher than the other ships. The only one that comes close is the Iowa and that’s just because it was an amazing ship IRL and it shows ingame (still should be better)
Again completely missing the point.
I don’t mind if AIM-120 is worse than MICA/R-77 close in, but it shouldn’t be as bad as it is now if you get what I mean
But what are you saying by performance? They all have similar w/rs
If you’re talking kds, then that’s not the stat you should look at.
Kds in naval count Ai kills
MICAs are pretty vile at any range below 20km, and still great for forcing a notch at 25km+, just don’t be expecting to be participating in the early game bvr jousting
If they equalized seeker on the A to Mica and made C-5 seeker the improved A/B one it actually is, as well as fixing the performance, it would be more fair
i feel like they may have nerfed its performance cus its also being used by the eurofighter.
i still dont know why they secretly gave mica a bigger seeker.
Statshark doesn’t filter out AI kills?
I mean even then, if it counts AI kills for all of them then it’s still fairly representative, good enough to determine Soyuz is pretty exceptional
Idk why they felt the need to give the MICA so much angle gating, the amount of time i’ve launched on and killed something straight through their notch is insane
Possibly. I think they couldve kept it to the F/A-18C for sure but the F-15E is more debatable
Yeah go look at my KDr in the SovetSky. I think I’ve killed 14-18 players total, mostly people who shot at me first. I think I have 108 kills total or something in it.
I think the kdrs may be lower on other ships due to a few possibilities:
Fair. But it’s kind of negated by the fact that this applies to every ship, so even though the numbers are inflated they’re inflated across the board so it still shows the Soyuz over performing
Could just be how many people have X amount of ships of a whatever nation. Italy and Japan likely get played the least.
USA and Germany the most.
There’s a lot of factors being over looked, but to be short and sweet about it, I think they’re all pretty well balanced.
Soyuz is actually 2nd most played top tier ship. Slightly less popular than Bismarck for obvious reasons
Soyuz stats are also suspiciously good. It’s AP for example has way more filler and nearly as much pen as the best 16" AP shell ever made
See I can’t give an answer on the shell, only gaijin can.
Edit: to this day, I think the scharn is still over preforming, as even with the SovetSky, it doesn’t seem to die
