Shouldn't aircrafts also deserves AIM-9X since some SPAAs already have them in game?

they are way too fast for their own good and dont really have the aoa to pull

bud at least you don’t have the a-10a early. That thing has 2 missiles

what the hell does the A-10 have to do with this?

AAM-3 always amazes me for the range comparison

100% more scarier IMO than the R-73 or Magic 2, it essentially is an all-around even better AIM-9M.

Truly is the IR missile I fear the most at 13.0ish. The F2 against sub 13.0 planes is very scary. Great radar for good battlefield assessment, and dangerous kit at this BR (obviously in up tiers it does suffer tho), combined with one of the best flight model

The AT-6E Wolverine can carry a pair and has HMCS. Preformance wise is basically a P-51 under 20K ft. It’s the prefect testbed since I know Gaijin won’t want to implement it on fast jets first, and we all remember how the R-73 was on the Su-25 when it first came.

Agree or don’t I’m just spitballing ideas.

I disagree because there is already a better test bed in game

in the form of the AH-1Z, which also only gets 2 and wont be anywhere near a painful to play as something like AT-6E would with high tier ARB map sizes

Fair enough I was just thinking of something that could give the missile a little more momentum, and you can dogfight in the Wolverine.

It was said that all next nations would receive next gen fox 2 at the same time. So it will probably be a top tier addition.

There’s not really a need for lower tier attacker testing, since SAM are already the testing platform

Thats the thing I don’t understand though. Yes we know how effective the 9X is from a stationary SAM. But AAMs and SAMs do behave deferent from each other.

Everyone talks about the seeker, but you can’t really test anything if the truck its on is just being bombed to oblivion constantly, nor is it the primary missile the SLAMRAAM is.

My point is if the goal is to use it air to air, then test it air to air.

I think the only thing that really needs to be tested and tuned accordingly is the seeker performance. That doesnt really change.

Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t people just ground mask more often then not in GRB?
