So long as the fight doesnt actually become a 1 on 1 dogfight (between equal airframes). I agree. Though 9Ms limited lock range does make those ambush tactics trickier. You should be able to fire one at much greater distance. Been using them (on the dev server) and im well inside the LSZ and nearing the min range before I even get a lock.
as if that matters when its invisible

Well… When you are attacking the target in a headon and dont get a lock until the target is passing by your wing, it does actually matter quite a bit. You only get a 3km lock range if the target is on reheat. If the target isnt. then you basically wont get a front aspect lock. You should be able to lock onto a reheat target out as far as 14.45km. I dont know specifically what a non-reheating target would be. But I guess at least a few km.

How Su-25 players look whining about “invisible AIM-9M” (Apparently the 43 foot wingspan of an F-15 Eagle within 3km of them is not visible)

So what? I should be complaining about how X vehicle performs when stock? MAWS is a tier 1 upgrade, and it gets it’s missiles stock.
Maybe we should base BRs of stock performance too? The A7s are pretty crap stock. 8.0 they go!
Also, if you don’t have the stuff unlocked, you shouldn’t be looking through the targeting system anyway, so how do you miss a whole plane within 3km of you?
I just don’t get the point? Why is it being crap stock relevant? EVERYTHING SUCKS STOCK
Imagine dealing with enemy Tanks and you gotta counter broken CAS at the same time lmao
Imagine having situational awarness of the battlefield.
Skill issue you can’t keep track of 11 seconds of smoke at 20km out in your tank trying to actually fight things??
/s you never know with these CAS people
Situational awareness against what? a broken Jet thats already shot a missile at you and the moment you see it getting 3 kills and you’re the 4th you can’t do shit then, smoke or anything you’re already dead buddy.
If you spawn SPAA it’s already so far away you can’t even lock onto it, so again how are you still defending a broken jet?
Crazy how so many su25 spawn in its like 3-5 of them i have only a lil bit of smoke, once it hit a building and went through it and killed me while i was hiding and smoking lmao and this guy talking about smoke.
No, no
You’re supposed to expend half your AAM capacity intercepting the missiles it fires, you know, because the only SPAA that can fire against it is the Pantsir
It’s the only ATGM in the game with inertial guidance, the much slower maverick just suicides after a couple seconds
And guess what, they’re on the same team, so maybe DM a pantsir on their team to shoot it down
You say that. Did see a pantsir TK a friendly strike drone yesterday 🤣
