Update 2.55.1.126
“A target filtering mechanic has been addded to radio fixes of some ARH and SARH air-to-air missiles — the fuze now ignore small targets like missiles if the launch was directed at a bigger target, like an aircraft.
So you can still launch at missiles.

nothingburger change, does basically nothing to fix the issue

it only removes the MCM with rockets and brimstones, at least one part of the problem is gone
By this point i’m wondering if the snail is trying to figure out if iron dome defense is a viable counter tactic against stealth aircraft in real life.
That’s would only be a problem if the snail wills it, even if the spaa was using the same missile model as an airplane all they have to do is to copy it and change that proximity fuse toggle for that specific version.
I am pretty sure that does not work IRL. Besides ECM and EW exist IRL so why would snail even think about that?

Because stealth aircraft become more visible to radar when they launch their missiles (and the Air to Air missiles themselves aren´t stealthy), so while they would in principle get the initiative and first launch, the snail might be trying to figure out if defeating this first volley with missiles would even the odds as the element of surprise would be lost and stealth aircraft necessarily have fewer missiles available for launch as they have to store them internally.
Just a thought, given they have announced the intention to add stealth aircraft to top tier for a while now.

I can see the following happening if stealth/5th gen gets added: Missile truck 4th gen sees missiles on radar, shoots all of them down, eventually sees stealth aircraft on radar and has a missile quantity advantage, shoots down remaining missiles and 5th gen… The Super Hornet would be a more viable jet than the Raptor, if the prior can just shoot down all incoming munitions and overwhelm the latter.
At this point we can say, the Iron Dome isn’t “an issue”, it’s a feature.
its not a viable defence tactic its waaay to risky
I died laughing holy 😂
what he says makes a lot of sense though i dont see anything funny there…plus imagine seeing a missile first and not the plane
It’s funny because that’s how gaijin wants u to play it so for realism
so far only missile shown to be able to do mcm is the mica…if was for realism they wouldnt be a 100% survival strat
Eh sure, but the worst offender is still around unfortunately, which has not only completely affected top tier, but has long started spreading the lower BRs too
f22 can technically carry more fox3s than f18
I mean, the issue is that the ‘MUNITION ELIMINATED’ prompt is kind of the only way to know if your missile didn’t miss the plane you thought were aiming for and in fact was locked onto a missile if you don’t know how to tell that what you’ve locked onto is a missile yet in pre-NCTR jets. Removing that feedback is going to punish new players’ learning phases a lot

they’ll fix this before the F-15EX is added, I’m willing to bet.
What takes less skill?
- SPAMRAAM
- Iron Dome/MCM

This is assuming spamraam’ers hit the notch and chaff to survive, while MCM’ers fly straight & point-click.
…or
C: They’re both equally brain dead
