They are always guaranteed 2 kills if u use them right.
And R-60M aren’t useless if u actually shoot them rear aspect especially against un-aware Base bombers, or even F-14s since they engines after bruner is so hot missiles don’t usually give a mind about if he drops flare or not.
Yes they aren’t phenomenal if enemy is using flares so it’s an other missile that’s not IRCCM on this BRs.
Also u don’t take in mind that Both those MiGs accelerate really fast, and version of MLD have actually decent RWR as well workable radar, because ones in ML are just serviceable, they aren’t great but u are able to work with it since u have missiles that will do most of the work anyways.
I mean range yes, but higher the range the easier it gets defeated by flares.
I’d shot off R-60Ms under 1.5 km making them very hard to dodge and because they are 30G missiles unlike AIM-9G on British Phantoms that can pull max of 18G, The R-60Ms can actually pull out to enemy and not simply not being able to reach.
That’s why I said 9L it’s similiar to R-60Ms I didn’t neccessary used that it’s worse, but similar they both are 30G, they have their strenghts and weaknesses such a 9L doesn’t get “Jump-Start” from rail like R-60Ms but trades the range for it etc.
After all it’s still IR missile and if u are know what u do u can avoid them completely Or in the opposite make them deadly.
Positioning yourself it’s just a key with both of those missiles.
Imma call it a day, since there’s not much else what either me or u can say about it.
I agree, UK jets are in need of this, but not say, F-4S. I’d also like to see the FG.1 drop to 11.7 and not receive 9Ls so that there is a difference between FG.1 and FGR.2
A 18g( it’s 18 right?) missile the same as a 35-40g? Cmon man, they’re not even the same. Once I learned about ARH I can probably count the amount of times on one hand I ever died to an aim54 again. Not even close to the same thing as an aim120 even if it’s an ARH.
