I think they’ll have a hard LOBL requirement. So you wont be able to fire past your gimball limit, which is 90 for most (60 for the MICA, 100 for the P5)
Probably also a bit of a lock range cap too.

But then you still wouldn’t have balanced match ups. Again, its a weird logic.
9M is actually one of the better top tier IR missiles
seeker shutoff allows for more situations where it is effective and it preys on vehicles with low amounts of countermeasures (Chinese aircraft especially)
magic 2 is highly situational and easy to flare in most scenarios
R-73 is easy to flare and slightly less situational than magic

you said range. but yeah no so strong with irccm.
even now r73 in front and side shot will miss 70% of the time
No doubt, but something like the MICA-IR will just not care if the target already flew behind you if they model it remotely as good as the EM
ASRAAM and MICA IR should be hard to defeat whilst also having long range. ASRAAM will have insane Time to target as well.
Which is inpart why I reckon they’ll limit it to LOBL. Because IRIS-T as well would be kinda insane with HOBS shots
Fair enough I guess. I’m not taking any offense to the idea, just pointing out that its a weird arguement to make/position to hold. “None for thee until my better than your thing is added”. Hits the ear weird.
IRIS-T would literally pull enough G to create a black hole :skull:

The issue is balancing
current IR missiles at top tier are relatively well balanced
adding AIM-9X now with current IIR seekers will be like adding MICA in an environment full of AIM-120 slingers

I feel like people who complain about 9M performance in arb just never took shots like these.
But it’s not an uncommon situation. Was the R-27ER not the most dominant missile until the addition of Fox-3s? Where no one had anything really comparable and players sort of had to learn how to defeat it? Same with the Aim-54. Are US players not going to have to adopt new methods of fighting IRIS-Ts and such?
That’s the exact scenario where seeker shutoff IRCCM missiles perform best
Except we don’t have IRIS-T on planes in game, so why are we asking for 9X?
back then we had 100m multipath so I doubt it was that dominant
but I was utterly clueless then so I’m just guesstimating here
It was dominant against (take a seat for this) the average (US) player not multipathing (when it was THE meta to do so) lol
When will the M1A1 series receive its M829A3 ammunition as well?
The M1A1 Abrams variants also received this ammunition, since they use the same fire control platform, and there are documents reporting this.
(Please don’t argue that it would be too strong. The improvement from the A2 to the A3 was only around 5% in terms of pen against the T and V series armor/ERA packages.)
Wasn’t the StuG III G supposed to get to rank III with the upcoming change? Or was it announced and killed by community feedback like the leopard 1 BR decrease?
How pointless is this? Br 4.0 vehicle with just rank II, while the 3.7 BRed M44/M55 is rank III? Jesus…this looks weird. It should be swapped. Why is the German StuG III G the only one at rank II anyways?
