The Gripen E is being artificially held back: We need IRIS-T, Meteor (or Derby!), and ARMs

I assume you mean the Tornado? If so, it’s above supersonic and has more than enough room to get energy on its missiles.

And?

Still slower than most at 12.3, and one of the weakest aircraft at its BR.

Just pay attention, it will only kill people not paying attention, especially if they are easy to flare

tornado GR.4 in its current state could probably be 11.7 without issues, same with Harrier GR.7

A bit of a strawman. I’m talking sub-sonic CAS jets, not a supersonic Tornado. If there’s an issue with its performance, drop the BR.

Then ASRAAM on the GR7? Totally useless at 12.3 at the moment, I dont really understand why its not 12.0, maybe even 11.7

I don’t really see the ASRAAM as particularly scary, but they have room to go down in BR. I would rather fight IR missiles over a radar missile any day.

The issue here is that a new A-10C needs to be added at a higher BR for many of its weapon systems to be included within War Thunder. I listed these weapons already.

The AIM-9X is just a simple way, following an already existing pattern in the series, to make it fit within War Thunder as a usable air vehicle.

you don’t see the long-range high-maneuverability infrared imaging death pipe as scary?

No, because it has a missile diamond.

yeah and that missile diamond is inside your ass now because you completely failed to flare it

It’s very obvious when someone is attempting to launch an IR missile at you. You can easily preflare them, and I do so extensively when playing high BR aircraft across my US, German, Russian, and Israeli tech trees.

note to self, pay attention to the AIM-120C spam from braindead F-15E players instead of arguing on forums

Its Gaijin. and its British.

If it reaches Mach 3 we will be lucky (should be Mach 5+)

if it reaches 30G we will be lucky (should be 50, CAMM is currently capped at about 28G?)

If its not 1 flare defeated we will be lucky.

It should be effective out to 25km+. But CAMM-ER is capped at about 20-25 rather than 45km

So it could easily be the weakest of them all because Gaijin.

though we all know the R-74 will be the strongest by a long way

preflaring is hardly gonna do shit against an infrared imaging missile, and you don’t have enough flares to drop high enough density forever to cancel launches.

Out of curiosity, when you say “Infrared imaging missile”, you are referring to it recognizing the plane itself, not the heat signature, right?

what do you think infrared imaging is, lol?

Cool. Cause the Python 5 already does that and is easily flarable.

because it doesn’t have infrared imaging in the game, that’s not modeled yet.

And won’t be when you get your ASRAAM lol

Gaijin’s lazy. You’re acting like this will be some super missile when you should know deep down that Gaijin will fuck it up.

when next gen IR missiles drop for aircraft, like the 9X, Py5, AAM-5, IRIS-T, MICA IR, etc. they’re going to come with proper infrared imaging seekers and you won’t preflare them

Tbh, im not expecting it to be.

Not only would that be unfair on the soviets that dont have an IIR missile. But I can see IIR just being 2x IRCCM, both buffed to be stronger than their individual versions are currently.

But they will remain pretty easy to flare.

We have IRCCM and they still havent actually modeled IR signatures yet.
