There’s nothing dangerous about pointing out flawed logic.
Finally an honest argument. You have an opinion, based on vibes.
I do not like “iron dome meta”. But i also don’t think 5th gen fighters will be remotely useless because of it. any stealth plane would be able to launch from an angle or aspect which wouldn’t be able to be countered by this tactic, as they would be able to position themselves without being detected unless in close range.
You could give the F-22 an AIM-9B and it would still dominate.
That’s certainly an opinion.
And as with every opinion that isn’t backed up by anything else beside “i don’t like this”, disposable.
If you don’t like realism, I suggest maybe Ace Combat.
thankfully this is a video game, that takes balance liberties over realism in certain cases. And hopefully devs understand this. Considering your singular point this entire time is “IRIST can” hopefully they have the common sense to understand that, “man that missile inst actually in game yet on any aircraft. so maybe this is a mechanic we should refine.”
It seems like I have offended you by saying “opinions ≠ facts”. At least the report on my mailbox certainly indicates that. :) Looks like I hit a nerve. I do apologize unironically about this.
Kinematically, further than aircraft since the closure rate is enormous.
Sensor wise, needs to be closer to the target before it can lock it after going active. Which isn’t an issue if the launching aircraft provides DL updates until pitbull. Furthermore if the attacking missile is on a straight-line vector, even INS would suffice to an extent.
sorry, maybe it was not direct enough. Where can I find the documentation (declassified) that shows the R77 is rated for this task and the ranges. Surely if we don’t like “meta bad please change” then we should be using documentation to back this up right?"
