How does it feel to be in the same situation as a RU main?

So according to the dev stream. The only difference is guidance and battery life. The guidance is set for the aim120 to make less maneuvers overall until its active. So instead of always adjusting to intercept target it will fly high towards the general direction and making slight course adjustments if the target begins to turn away or gets low. The idea is to allow it to keep more energy in the end game compared to the C-5 And since it has GPS +DL guidance it knows where it is in relation to the target allowing it to adjust its flight path further and keep more energy compared to standard IOG +DL where C-5 may begin to nose down and hit a mountain the D may keep itself a bit higher and avoid the mountain or the idea behind it and of course the mentioned above. So essentially a C-5 with no upgraded seeker and potentially better energy in the endgame

I am not crying, stop projecting brother :)

and yet there is one particular nation that you love complain about more than others, quite curious.

you are desperate

Wha? Brother is high or something?

Gaijin would have to code GPS guidance to bring more than 0 IOG drift, which in turn would be buff to 9X and IRIS-T SL missiles, as those also have GPS in their guidance package.

i dont get how missiles get 0 iog drift just by having gnss.
Considering ground weapons still have a CEP when having gnss, imo missiles with gnss should still have some level of drift

Isn’t it just a placeholder at the moment? Considering that we are getting dev only on monday gaijin definitely didn’t finish a lot of stuff in time.

CEP isn’t IOG drift.

9X and SLM sure as hell don’t seem to be placeholders, given they are in game for what, 9 months by now?

You know gaijin, i wouldn’t be surprised that they would leave a mechanic in a half-cooked state for a year until some new weapons get it as well.

not even close

Yeah, maybe you right. There are problems with some USSR stuff that come unadressed by literal years because “performance is close enough”

Now we wait some 2 years

I was thinking three plus years at least.

Some of them have extremely small CEP irl with GPS, maybe higher end components

What is this?
Because of what??
Genuinely, if you have official U.S. Air Force sources stating HOBS, what sources or who are you to say this??
Based on what?
If you guys want to play like this, go ahead and remove “realistic” from your games promotion ads
It’s unacceptable.

Sources have no any useful data.
