me too i want the Python 4 it looks nice and balanced thoo this is really good gaijin giving to the most of nations good missiles to compete and buffing some to his real stats is nice thoo this what we asked for @Smin1080p thank you and thank you to all the war thunder development team!! PS: we want to see this cool missile in game really soon it would be an amazing addition to compete with the other missiles that have IRCCM technology and a unique addition exclusive for israel, it would motivate the people to grind this amazing tech tree, and making it more interesting for the players!

Also, another note on the R73.
It is a very fat missile with tiny canards. The trust vectoring is not added to augment a missile designed for high-speed maneuvering. The design is focused on over enhancing subsonic, close quarters maneuvering at the cost of high-speed stability.
That is why the R73 has tiny canards. It is for the least restriction of thrust vectoring to achieve the tightest turn radius at close quarters. The bigger its canards, the more stable the missile becomes at the nose. Again, this design focus comes the cost of stability in high-speed performance.
That is why the R73 has a top speed of a Mach 2.5 while the python can hit Mach 3.5. The missile is not designed to go very fast or be launched while going very fast.

I wonder if Italy got AV8B+, how about the US, is there any different between the US AV8B and Italy AV8B?
Thought this was a picture of an Su-47 at first.

Some differences, mainly in loadouts.
Main reaosn I guess US didnt get one is because of the F-16 addition and the fact you dont overly need a Sub-sonic CAS.
But probably soon, 2 ish updates is my guess.
I guess gaijin might consider AV-8B Night Attack (NA) to USA tech tree before AV-8B Plus
AV-8B Night Attack mounted AGM-122A Sidearm short-range Anti-Radiation Missile but no access JDAM and without AN/APG-65(V)2 radar
I wonder why we never get any CAS of Italian origin. Leased CAS is nice, but… Aermacchi(

I know at least 3 Ju88 versions that’d be completely diffrent from what we have right now and would all justify being added
there is a Ton more that they can add but they just don’t because most players won’t play them that much and now they’d probably go into folders
on most airframes the version in Game is the one before it got interesting heavy upgrades
US got AIM-9M, AIM-7M and better flight model, Barak II just got the 9M but is otherwise worse.
Oh and the AIM-9M is probably getting nerfed

I have a question, as im having problems testing this out. Does new rwr works i a sphere, or still in a plane (for example when someone is locking me from stright up, in live server i need to roll my plane so radar is facing my side for rwr to activate, is it still the case?)?
Still doesn’t work from above or below, that’s how it’s meant to work though as those aircraft have blind spots there.
Just like how the early MiG-21s had no RWR from the front
Heh i knew 9M gonna make Russian players goes crazy well they get R-73 and R-27ER/ET
While 4 nation get 9M well for me it fine even with that flare resistance maybe a little bit nerf
