You forgot to mention Su-34.It is literally a flying boat.
And yet every moron like MatAWG is making a big deal out of it being able to pull a lot, even though it bleeds speed like crazy

Gaijin not modeling ARHs well (in the case of the MICA it’s probably for balance but for the R-77 it’s incompetence) is something they should fix, I’m surprised they haven’t already, but it’s not really an example of bias towards the US.
The 9M might be second best, but it is much worse than the R-73; 7M is massively worse than the R-27ER; the AIM-54 can’t turn (and the C isn’t modeled correctly); and all ARHs are modeled incorrectly.
They model missiles as consistently as they model flight performance, terribly
no…

The 9M is better than the R-73.

9M and R73 are practically apples to oranges. An ideal frankenstein plane would want to carry both. The R73 is better for 1v1 duels and for making high off boresight attacks. The 9M is better for more reliably scoring longer ranged kills against opponents that have their attention focused on a different target or are otherwise overwhelmed by the information overload of a 16v16 furball.

In sim maybe.
Because they have an actually competent player base because you need a decent ceiling of skill to do well with the gimped planes. Most people playing America are Top Gun kiddies.
All RWRs got nerfed.
Not the thread to figure out how to dodge a Pantsir. Ask people in the SQRBs community, they’ll be happy to help because they actually know what to do.
They do that IRL because they bring full ammo all around the turret. Not because of the autoloader.
Whole thread for that bud.

They did that just to gimp Russia really. The MiG-29S amalgamation that we have ingame, if it carries the 27ER, should also have the N019M and the R-77. Along with the R-73 that has been missing from the MiG-29 for… Since Apex Preds.
Because the whole country fell apart in 1991. There’s a huge development gap with projects that shoulda came out in the 90s that they slapped new stuff onto and then accept into service. Hence gaijin now has to cherry pick off all of the new stuff and add their weird mixed block mixed izd. planes that they add for every nation. Because its a game.

No, it has way better range than the R-73, and it’s IRCCM is just better, because instead of shrinking it’s FOV it turns part of the seeker off once it sees flares and uses internal guidance to keep following the enemy. I apologize my terminology is a bit basic, but it gets the point across.
MiG-29 is still missing performance
The point of IR missiles in game is for short-range, high-G kills - otherwise you might as well just use a SARH.
Range still matters, with the 9M you can hit further than the R-73. I mean, the difference between the R-73 and Aim-9M isn’t really that big of a deal, moreso preference.
You are arguing with someone that has more time spent in the forum than the actual game
Reminder you can always ignore speclist his highest br plane is 10.3 lol he’s yet to even see an F4S ingame let alone something with 9Ms or R-73
You think I’ve read the forums for 800+ hours?
I’ve yet to see anyone disprove my argument, lol.
Disprove what argument you dont have one you’ve never experienced toptier gameplay

And how does any of that relate to the topic of the post being that russian toptier is just worse
