"Spearhead" Update Trailer!

I’ve just bought the F15C after like a year sitting there man so I need to try it out when i can be bothered

Confirmed that on stream. The Saab J 21 and Fokker D.XXIII just happen to look similar, but that’s mostly coincidence. The Fokker D.XXIII was designed by Marius Beeling, while Saab (Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget) was independently tasked with developing an interceptor for Sweden.

That said, since the Fokker D.XXIII first flew in 1939, it’s entirely possible Saab engineers were aware of it, or at least of other similar twin-boom like the BV 138, De Schelde S.21, and experimenting with pusher-style projects From when doing their own studies. Saab had been exploring fighter concepts since the late 1930s

I ground out the F-15E after getting slaughtered by it game after game in my Su-27. Was worth it

Are they ? Genuinely asking as last time someone did a comparisson on them they where about on par bar in the close range situation.

R-77s though are pretty poor in my experience with em , R-77 not R-77-1s.

Also, any advice on using the F15C ? same general idea as the F15A just fatter?

The real question is why this:

And not this?:

My advice. Amramms are far better beyond 6 miles vs an R-77 carrier, but under 6 miles the R-77 carrier will likely win, of course you can add in potential mistakes xyz.

I’d still rather take an Aim-120B over an R-77-1 I think the biggest reason why people hate it is the Su-30SM has a great radar, thus being able to make good use of all its aams

Incorrect

Okay mate. Anything to actually add or just gonna be that guy?

Also when R-77-1 was introduced it was comparable stats wise to the Aim120B, that’s not a debatable fact. they had been shown side by side the drag coefficients and such to be almost the same.
The massive difference was in the close range capabilities of R-77 due to the ability to thrust vector.

I am assuming since there have been changes to both missiles since then they have changed in what is more effective.

Tell me why

How can it have faster time to target? they go the same speeds ? or does it have substantially better acceleration?
The guidance time is an extra what , 40 seconds more than the Aim120 B on the R77-1 as it has 120seconds compared to 80.
Ofc the extra G limit but that also causes the missile to bleed more speed the harder it turns so it’s not all bonuses.

Yeah I was wondering that, the BTR-82AT in game is not the BTR-82AT we all know and love, furthermore it’s in the TD line which further incentives me not to grind it

Because the one they are adding can fire missiles without exposing anything except for the launcher.

It’s a perfect gremlin vehicle

Much stronger booster compared to AIM-120, so yes to the better acceleration. Guidance time is irrelevant as the R-77-1 needs that to go its stated max range. But yes, higher G limit is a double edged sword.

Yeah I’m not really seeing a reason to use it. I may use it if you can take the atgm off and it’s stabilized… but I see little use for it, especially for a 9.0 that can be easily .50 cal’d

That’s hard to do for someone like me, a console player. I don’t have 10,000 buttons to keybind. Gaijin seemingly forgets we exist too, and makes keybinds very hard to do sometimes.

And source for the higher acceleration? Because I don’t think I’ve seen it since I’ve last played sim.

Do you have keybinds for SPAAs and SAMs? If so, just reuse some keybinds from those.
You only need one keybind to switch from the gun control/sight to the ATGM launcher control/sight

I do but I have to hit LB (my activator key) then whatever following button to do a lot, same with air. I’m sure I’ll figure it out but this is getting annoying.

Where is the atgm camera located? Under cameras? I can’t look rn, I’m not home

Huh? I’m referencing the figures about the missile’s booster force from this

We keep getting newer vehicles than the T-14, I don’t see why it couldn’t be added.

Most likely.
