About this aircraft

  • The Milan can be tricky to fly, but in the right hands it can be a real treat. It has excellent maneuverability and is capable of reaching incredible speeds. Plus, thanks to its good bomb load and ballistic computer, it can also be used for ground attacks.

Ah yes, AIM-9B at 9.7, huge threat. No flares either. Only threat this poses is to wallets of new players who don’t know any better.

I think it should even go up, since it has better flight performance than A-10 and SU-25, and those are at 10.0. Fits Gaijin’s criteria at least.

Nonono, it sits perfectly at 9.7. Remember, after youve shot off your missiles its not very capable…

Milan is a better flying Mirage 5F, from which you only have 9B instead of magics,… I’m getting real good KD on Mirage 5F, no problem for Milan being 9.7

i wonder why the milan is ingame classified as a fighter but Dassault says its a Strike Aircraft?

I think Defyn described this aircraft very accurately in his video - Unbearable Pain.

Oh snap, does that mean you’ve actually brought it now? Or are you still talking out your bum?

Bro just go do a drag race of Mirage 5F versus Milan, you’ll see for yourself.

Basically
https://wiki.warthunder.com/Mirage_5F
Weight at 20min fuel : 8577 kg
Output in afterburner : 8594 kgf
Turn time : 28.0 seconds RB mode and fully modified
Climb rate : 140 m/s RB mode and fully modified

https://wiki.warthunder.com/Milan
Weight at 20min fuel : 8792 kg
Output in afterburner : 9142 kgf
Turn time : 27.0 seconds RB mode and fully modified
Climb rate : 160 m/s RB mode and fully modified

if both aircraft were given only 9B → MILAN >>>> Mirage 5F

Now Mirage is having Magic-1, and is rated 10.0 (was 10.3), still have no flares, no chaffs and flies worse than Milan
I still have 164 kills for 83 deaths in Mirage 5F, so about 2 of KD.

Conlcusion as before: Milan is fine at 9.7

Because Gaijin knowns better than the manufacturer as always /s

Not denying the Milan has speed, but that still doesn’t make the Milan better than the 5F. The Milan is only superior in one aspect, and that’s its moustache.

Edit:
No one is talking about the BR? Just don’t talk up a shitty cash grab you’ve never even played.
but if you think it’s that good, put your money where your keyboard is and try to replicate your 5F stats.

Thank you for bringing this beauty back, Gaijin, but… dammit, I just don’t have money to spend right now. 😣

I really, REALLY wish you’d stop removing store packs and in-game premiums. 😢
