I remember getting a talisman for the Javelin FAW the day before they nerfed its afterburners working at altitude or whatever it was. It’s just a big pile of doggy doo now.
that’s Su-11. Su-9 is 7.0
in su7 just use s-24 with airburst and become a fighter, s-24 doubles as flares and offensive weapon :))
Nothing amazing because I’m not that good but very servicable:

I deadass did not know theyre aviable to MLA.
this card info doesnt mean shit when the radar is complete dogtrash
notes taken, I will try this unorthodox approach

The German event MiG-23MF does not get r24 either, only R23R.
In real life the MLA was the first version to receive Sapfeer-23-MLA2 radar set capable of utilizing R24R, the ML only had the regular Sapfeer-23 which could only guide R23R. So technically the MiG-23ML is using armaments it never carried.
The launching distance when using a 1000 meter fuse distance and closing with a target at 1100kph (both of you) is about 1.6-1.4km depending on actual closure rate, less distance (down to 1.2km even) for slower targets like subsonics. I can link you a video i compiled of my old clips that has many s24 shots in it if you want some visual guidance.
Just be aware that (especially on the BLK) the S24 creates a lot of induced drag which makes your energy retention in turns terrible so you ideally wanna get rid of at least two rockets in the first pass you get at a player.
seems like that is a common occurance for MiGs
cough cough r-27er
i still think that the mig-29 should have the r-27r and r-73 in game,
but my hopes for that actually happening are next to zero
If they remove the er and add 6 r73s its not gonna stay at 12.7 guys, it would be at 13.0. So i say keep the 27er and add the 6 73s and shove it up to 13.0, yak 141 can stay the 12.7 for russia
so why would it be 13.0 especially since i never brought up brs
it would simply not change that the US wastly outranges anything at that br (and the US airframes would be even stronger in that regard after the Mig-29 loses the r-27er)
but the mig-29 would be able to compete after closing the gap instead of just getting stomped by everything
this is called balance
one thing is good at something (for example the F-14 at BVR) and another thing is able to counter it after playing around its strengths (Mig-29 with r-73s in WVR) and that is fully ignoring that every other 4th gen at the br has a wastly better FM so it isnt even impossible for 12.7 stuff to counter the Mig-29 even after it closes the gap
Name one plane at 12.7 that have 6 irccm missiles. All of the planes that get 6 irccm missiles and no/mediocre radar missiles are at 13.0 (f16am, gripen)
both of which have wastly better flight perforamnce and avionics
you cant just balance a plane around its weapons load
those weapons are still attached to a plane
Which won’t exactly matter, because in the average air rb lobby, the mig 29 fm is not bad. It’s has great top speed, great acceleration, and lots of power. Only in a 1v1 dogfight is when it falls off.
it is mid at best meanwhile you have F-16s flying around that will just stomp the 29 after getting close
unrelated,
that 405 error gets annoying, i had to try sending this message 3 times
Looks at Tornado Gr4 at 12.3
the brimstone is a great A2A missile
it is so good that lower BRs wouldnt be able to cope with it at all /s
but gaijin always struggeled with balancing CAS planes in ARB, even more so when they are sub sonic
Just wait till we get Brimstone 2s with a prox fuse :P
Yeah… Unfortunately, but still point stands, gaijin does tend to fixate on the loadout and not necessarily the airframe more often than not and so does the community half the time. Even mention the Tornado Gr4 or any similar aircraft going down in BR, even to say. 12.0 and its “but it has Aim-9Ms, it would be too OP”
A-10C at 11.7 with 4x Aim-9m + HMD
and then there is the Mirage F1C at 12.0 with the magic being way better for ARB
