Usa f-18c premium should get a buff or lower br!

well, sparrows are getting buffed on next update.
So let’s wait what they will cook em.

And saying that prem su belongs in 14,0 is ridiculous. Wont happen in that Radar and rwr.

But hey, luckily there is F16XL coming pretty soon to ruin more peoples games in 13.0 :D

Apparently its getting a buff. While it wont scan faster, it should be more agile and properly adjust antena like western radars do.

That is massive buff.

best fox-1 in the game next update

unless gaijin changes something on the dev server

it still is stuck with a single scan zone option which isnt too great

i noticed them be quite good, but are they actually overtaking R-27ER on dev? I don’t have any 7P carriers to test in a combat scenario

yes at high alt

the 7F/M has the same kinematics as the 7P

I beg your pardon?

Now i wish F-15A actually had those. DL reconnect would made it quite a bvr monster at its current br (not like it struggles anyway, but it would be hilariously fun)

at 10km alt

In terms of range, where do sparrows overtake 27ER?

iirc at around 35km

but the sparrows also pull alot harder than on live

what is the carrier speed for this one? Or is it from stationary?

for that one it was around 1200kph iirc

time to target remains unchanged, no? So not that much of an improvement for average engagement ranges.

Welcome change, but sparrow pull was sufficient for its BR IMO.

idk
i would have to play around in statshark a bit more

i doubt it tho sonce drag was decreased

(it cant be outrolled on the dev from what i heard)

What i meant to say is that while it obviously keeps more energy at 35km+, no one will sit there for whatever long it takes for sparrow to arrive at that range, and at closer ranges 27ER outaccelerates sparrows still.

That will be funny if it goes live


old 7P times out, new version hits almost 20 seconds before old version
same 10km 1200kph launch parameters

even half a second after launch there is a small difference and it only grows more with time

R-27ER still has better TTT but Sparrow carries more speed at the moment of impact at 40km
