While we’re at it, pls add Kh-31 to Phantoms.

YF-12 AIM-47 missiles
How many does it Carry you ask 3
it faces AAMRAAM in uptiers which are close to undodgable in most situations, I’ve never had one miss when I’ve fired from under 4km and I’ve hit from 35km a few times too. an FPA-guided missile with notably less range on a plane slower than all fighter counterparts in the game would be crazy powerful if you go near the nose of it, but its an easy plane to avoid due to its leisurely pace, its still a shorter range missile so wont be like hitscan
Learned to notch and chaff, or just multipath it?
I know how to, most of my deaths to them are from getting third partied or when I’m over terrain that I cant safely multipath over. AMRAAM is notably chaff-resistant compared to a R27 or sparrow. Allthough I favour facing them over Pheonix and Farkour volleys. I tend to take the GR7 out to 13.7 when in a squad while I’m grinding towards gripen
correct me if im wrong, this thing carried a single AIM-54 and a single AIM-54 only.

It is closer than just slapping some AIM-54’s on the F-15A we already have in game + it would make for a cool event vehicle
Sparrows, 9L’s and the AIM-54
I know i am very late to reply, but…
What even? Any of the FOX-3s are extremely easy to defeat. AIM-7s, it depends on the radar. (F-4 vs F-16, F-15) R-27s have a very strong seeker and are the hardest missile to defeat by far.
I’d say get out there and try it yourself, but snail spaghetti code broke chaff recently.
I can fire out a ton of chaff periodically and still get merked by fox 3s. R27ER is like the best missile in the game pulling 50G and doing mach 5.8. r27R is the version I meant as it seems easier to deal with than AMRAAM. I doubt you mean R27T as that seems like a joke missile when you have ER available
Having a single pylon for the AIM-54 on the F-15 would be pretty funny.
If it’s small chaff, then it makes more sense. I still dont know if you found out how to notch yet.
Not anywhere near 50 G. Yes, of course it is fast though.
Well, R-27R is extremely slow. Slower than the Super 530. All you really get out of it is a better seeker, and not many people use it unless they are stock.
Notch appropriately + chaff = Guaranteed dodge. You’re probably doing something wrong.
R-27ER can pull max 35Gs and its actual top speed is more like Mach 4.5, it doesn’t have enough thrust to go M5.8 fast at relevant altitudes. I think the Mach 5.8 is the limit of the missile body itself from CFD data.
They’re great on the IRIAF F-14. Similar to equal effectiveness to the Aim-7F IMO. It doesn’t have the range of a 7F but its harder to dodge because it pulls a lot harder, has IOG + DL, and it doesn’t freak out like a 7F.
I do, being in a slow AF harrier doesn’t help much…
this is still so fast a lot of reaction time is lost, not all missiles give you a warning either so it can be next to impossible
Being slow doesn’t really matter as long as you’re notching.
Yea the R-27ER is a deadly missile.
idk whether chaff is bugged at the moment but I’ve been getting unlucky a lot
Don’t really know what to say but make sure the missile is on your 9-3 line on your RWR and just drop chaff.

As far as i know, they managed to break it yesterday or wednesday. At this very moment, an AIM-9C or R.530 will ignore chaff and behave as if it doesnt exist.
explains why ive been doing worse this week
