What lead to the nerfs to the seeker was looking at various primary sources, and proceeding to selectively implement features(skipping over illuminator’s HPBW) that would tamp down on issues with the seeker and transferring a track. and then coming in over the top with Gaming conventions to allow them to continue to ignore subsequent reports on the issue because the mechanic is not found elsewhere.
Also Sparrows have never really been strong due to the G limits being low enough to permit them to be dodged procedurally by maneuver(similar to the AIM-9M); by aggressively counter-rolling defeating them kinematically without needing to adjust the aircraft’s heading so an aggressor can continue to support an R-23, -24 or R-27 freely.
It doesn’t help either that the AIM-7F still doesn’t have a fully dynamic autopilot, but procedurally increases the Available maximum commanded G’s based on predicted remaining Time To Go and that this hard limit is specifically crafted hard limit allows for this to occur with the full 25G’s only available to the autopilot in last two seconds of flight.
Sure there was a time where there was no direct counterpart (the addtion of R-27Ex was a massive overreaction and effectively ruined top tier at the time, by ushering in the IR meta) but the guidance of the missile left significant weaknesses that were exploitable if you knew what to do.
CAS player crying that he cant kill 7 people each pass? good i hope it gets even harder, I hope other countries get their own SPAA thats the same power as the new pantsir so you can play top tier without having to worry about kh38 and LMUR or any other FnF munition from any country.
Hence why im letting my remaining oremium time lapse and im done with thus game. 42 matches all different nations and if russia isnt on your team. You lose.
Best cas, best aa, best tank destroyer BMPT, its unreal.
