SRAAM as the potential comparison here…
This post is not saying it currently is.
Of course, it’s irrelevant to bring up the fact that SRAAM is meh.
that one was removed very early on, the kormaran doesnt have that ability since god knows how long

Well, there is verified evidence that SRAAMs have actually had multiple test firings. So whilst they are a prototype weapon that was canceled before entering service, they did at least exist in their entirity and were functional. Which is likely the bare minimum requirement for a weapon system to be added.

The Yak-141 at least took off, but the F-16AJ doesn’t even exist.

Even we - Russians can’t change IRST.
- Need 2 sources
- Need to indicate which plane will be found from 50/90 km, but the book doesn’t say this

Similarly there are Russian IR ATGMs that we don’t have in game.
There are many weapons not added from many nations.

Any serial ones?
From what i remember - there was only few KH-25MTP with IR seeker and thats it
there is also an IR Kh-29
Remind them that Rafael’s maneuverability has been changed by video
there wasnt
to make it a level worse it sitting on the sarh pylon so you cant take 2 of these and 4 phoenixes
Kh-29D? That thing doesn’t exist iirc, only being mentioned in some papers. As for KH-25MTP, I think it was made, but unsure if it was tested, so idk if it’s something like a valid replacement for the 38MT

well then consider me corrected
It’s a form of KORNET, I can’t remember exactly rn, I linked it to someone before I think it’s 9M-133D or something?
So they just guessed the missiles infos and capabilities at this point? And they deliberately made it so OP?

kormaran can track air targets though :) (friend streamed it 2 weeks ago was really silly)
F-16AJ was on paper
It wasn’t changed because of a video.
It was changed due to multiple documents.
The video, which wasn’t a video on time, was only used as supporting material.
No, they guessed the IR tracking method to be similar to that of AGM-65.
The range has documentation cause the Kh-38 itself is real and the motors are the same.
What’s in contention is the seeker + missile combo, which we know the seeker exists, and we know how it works which isn’t like what’s in-game.
What we don’t know is if the Kh-38MT entered mass production.

Yes, i know, however the plane the proposal was based on was very much real. The F-16J was gonna be a YF-16 sparrow testbed with a different radar. Think of it like a proposed export sale of a vehicle then something entirely made up. Assuming, of course, gaijin gave us the right vehicle, which they didn’t. The F-16AJ in game is basically entirely made up, i wish they would’ve gave us the real one though, lighter weight and 6x sparrows would be so fun.
