I think it’s definitely possible. The last I saw Smin write about modern missiles was this
Yeah I saw that which makes sense these new gen IR missiles will be ridiculous. I’d curb all expectations to a Magic 2 buff and then late block AIM-9L/i’s and 9M’s. I doubt we even see ASRAAM this year which is the earliest of the new gen IR missiles.
But yeah I personally think that the R-Darter and AIM-9M loadout could be quite good and balanced versus what we could reasonably expect this year. Particularly as they could always nerf it accordingly as it would only effect one nation.
Although seeing we are not close to the F-18 i am very interested as to what the next year will bring. It seems the F-14 through to F-15 updates were a touch faster than Gaijin would now have liked and they’re slowing it down a bit.
like its only advantage to the F15 is just how much it carries like it flight performance will be worse
I suppose it’s just a case of carry capability and weaponry for a well-rounded aircraft. Although the F-18 is a somewhat monstrous low speed dogfighter.
Who knows. Would rather just focus on backfilling now to make the tree more viable and introduce more legacy aircraft.

Immediate buy, but if it ends up as anything but TT I will be so incredibly disappointed.
I might have to get the early jets wishlist out again.
Right now, its too early to talk about these two missiles specifically for the aircraft. They are quite advanced compared to where we are currently, so there are no specific plans to mention of them right now.
We are aware of what the aircraft used for sure.

Makes sense, thanks for the response.
Sorry im kinda confused on one thing.
Did you denied IRIS-T compeletly or is it too soon to consider it?
Cause i saw your reply on other thread about IRIS-T.
way too early to be considering these missiles.
Especially for A2A jets
We have never outright denied any missile from ever coming to the game to my knowledge. If we deny one, its always talking about the current situation and never a “forever” type of thing.

So does this mean we still have hope for De-Chirped Aim-9L at some point?

No hope

We have already said variant modifications are not planned.
Even AIM 9L(i)
So that is one missile to your knowledge that has been “denied from ever coming to the game” then.
^^
Understood, thanks for the explanation.
They said they would never add afterburning jets, make premiums after rank 5, or add air to air missiles at one point. Are you certain that they have ‘never’ outright denied such things? Perhaps I am mistaken.
