Smokeless motor for 1.
But
The AIM-9M has a smokeless motor.
Wasn’t AIM-9L/I identical to AIM-9M apart from smoking motor before? So now AIM-9L/I and AIM-9L/I-1 don’t have any difference, do they?
I’m just confused.
No the L/i was generally considered below the 9Ms preformance. The L/i was hardwired the IRRCM into the GCS. The L/i-1 produced further upgraded the GCS for which was then said to be on par with the 9M.
But this is from my limited research on the L/i. I could easily be mistaken.
x2 Python 4 on F-5T Tigris
But sadly I never saw image thai F-5T carries forth Python 4 max
F-16C/D Block 40 Barak BR go to 14.0 next month, and AIM-9M replace with Python 4 in the first major update
But removed medium-range Air-to-Air Missile only (such as AIM-7M, AIM-120A and Derby)
I think gaijin decompression battle rating to 14.7 january 2026, and the first major update or second major update add Python 5 & AIM-120C-7 on F-15I Ra’am
Why, isn’t that plane slow as heck and radar not great? We already have planes at 13.0 with ARH. Why wouldn’t it go to like 12.7. It’s much slower than Germany’s f4 which has agm65d’s and aim120’s.
If you put python 4’s on it. 12.7 seems fitting. Demonstrably wouldn’t belong at 13.0 of the faster, better equipped German f4 is 13.0.
I’m not asking for it, I just don’t see how it belongs even close to 14.0
Fixing around the Player Profile #3…but still no Overall Winrate / Spaded Tanks
Perhaps 14.0 is me being hyperbole, but it would not be far off. Certainly 13.0 or up.
Python-4 is just a nuts missile. 4 second booster, 80(!!) second sustainer, 60-70g pull, 15+km max range, supposedly would have both gatewidth and suspended animation IRCCM.
It would be, by a considerable margin, the best IR AAM currently in the game if added with realistic capability. In the 12-13.0 area, using them would be absolute point and click adventure gameplay lol.
I just think putting Python 4’s on a plane this low in BR is a terrible idea. We have seen constantly from A-10’s / Su-25’s that it’s extremely difficult to find a healthy BR for aircraft who have missiles that are so much more potent than the airframe itself. IMO, Python-4 should only be added to proper top tiers when the meta permits (i.e F-16D / F-15I etc)

Doesn’t it already exist? I thought Japan already has it on f-15jm.
I just realized as I was typing this and going to look it up. I have it wrong. I was confusing python 4 with aam4 which already exists. That’s why I was confused about it being a big deal.
My bad.
You’re all good mate :)
I believe gaijin set 50G overload single plane, 70G with DASH helmet mounted display
Next month gaijin increase battle rating to 14.0 before the first major update Python 4 to replace AIM-9M on F-16C/D Block 40 Barak, but removed medium-range Air-to-Air Missile only
AIM-9M stock instead AIM-9L, next month increase BR to 14.3 and the first major update AIM-9L replace with Python 4
Basically : less teamkill possible when the dude fired it’s AIM-120B from 60km, while you’re dogfighting the target,…
Still no need for MICA-EM as we can’t long-range shot anything
The Sholef reload is still way too slow and doesn’t make sense.

When is the reload buff gonna come for the tanks with the 122mm D-25T? Cant wait to fight HE-slingers with a 4th of my reload speed. jubiiiiii
Last patch before holidays today?
Given F-16As can face F-15Cs, no.
are you sure you unloaded 3 rounds not 2 lol? i can record its 11.9 seconds just for you
How it be when you type out a report detailing how Gaijin advertized a vehicle to have a faster reload than it’s other variant (80% of it’s dev blog was hyping this characteristic up and saying this would make it a viable “side-grade”) just for it to be implemented at the same BR with the SAME reload speed making the new vehicle worse in every single way that it’s other variant despite being the same BR
These types of reactions from tech mods with 0 logical explanations (if it has to do with “balans”) or showing of their own “disputing” sources is the exact reason so many people that have the sources and knowhow to file reports that would better this game don’t even bother trying.
The bug reporting system is a complete joke given that even IF you somehow get yours accepted there is like a 99% chance it will just get flagged as “accepted” and never actually implemented; even when you spoonfeed the snail details regarding a vehicle they are too incompetent to actually fix the issue.
Do these changes for radar missiles apply for the R-Darter as well? I assume so as it is a copy paste of the derby currently
