pretty fitting for that tree tbh
it seems all types of fox except mica/r77-1 are the same to gaijin, with no exception when it comes to r77 and pl12
thought id put this here for subjects about premiums
Considering that it still uses the infamous inverted Cassegrain antenna, placing it at 13.7 is already considered too high.
Given Gaijin’s confused understanding of missile performance, it may not recognize that the PL-12 is fundamentally different from the R-77, just as it considers the Python 3 to be a top-tier infrared missile.
Just that the Pl12 is so incredibly potent that it can perform in any given scenario, its a better Aim120 if you will since it sacrafices 30km+ shot performance (which is useless in the current top tier environment anyways) for way better HOBS performance while remaining tied around the mid range mark. Comparing this to the R77 which falls out of the air after like 10kms while only offering a marginal improvement in short range engagements just doesnt sit quite right with me, and let’s not even start with the PL8B vs R73 debate, its not even close, the only downside the PL8 has is the lack of TV (irrelevant unless you end up in a sub 500km/h dogfight). The chinese missile kit is just vastly superior hence why the J11B didnt move to 13.3 last patch, wheras the A did
