The loft is insane it goes up roughly 2km.
More propellant than in game AMRAAMs and 39kg lighter, thats impressive
Israel can’t stop winning.
Question, how much better is the standard Derby we have on planes as an air to air missile now? Anyone done comparisons for close range and long range?
Worse close range performance but better at longer ranges
Thrust has also been reduced
Massive drag buff 1.9> 1.5
Turn radius is slightly worse
Has less range because of the reduced thrust but that wont matter much at high alt while going mach 1.3 in the f16 or a gripen
Overall its a good buff that was promised to us 2000 years ago

wdym?
Yo cobra is it ok if I share your video on reddit? To talk about derby ER
Worse at short range only when missile doesn’t need to turn, as in HOBS tests in statshark at least, it has more speed through turns.
All in all, air drag reductions are never a bad thing, unless they are way overcompensated by massive nerfs to the motor. And so far, regular Derpy looks like overall upgrade.
If anything, it makes F-16C block 40 in awkward spot, as its main selling point was access to AMRAAMs… which lost their “BVR” edge over Derbys, while you have neat Derby carrier at 13.3 already.
And as statshark now has ability to model dual pulse motors… I can see why Gaijin is reluctant to give air to air dual pulses yet

Question which missiles get dual pulses in the game apart from Derby ER

So far, none? From future would-be additions should be PL-15 and R-77M if google serves me right?

Sure thing
Went through similar changes to regular Derby ie reduced air drag, somewhat degraded motor, so it should be similar?
No thats 12.3 max considering the missiles are still kinda slow, ez to notch,radar still bugged, no close range solution cuz p5 is bugged asf
Let me remind you pantsir is 12.0 and it has like 17-18 effective range
If being playable is winning then what can we say about russia with its new unnecessary op pantsir, op heli ,op cas, strong mbts and dont let me start on bmpt
Man i guess russia is the new god isnt it?
