No, the PL-12 is underperforming and not for a balancing factor unless I’ve missed out on something. At extended ranges the PL-12 wobbles like crazy bleeding a substantial amount of speed putting it below even the AIM-120A which is should be superior to.
The AAM-4 is also underperforming as well if I recall but I’m not sure exactly where.
I think they should buff every fox 3 but usa with real range
Or maybe keep everything entirely historical including missile ranges and adjust planes which overperform or underperform with BR changes. Move the F-15E and other great vehicles to 14.0 and move vehicles like the SHAR FA.2 and Tornado F.3 Late down a step.
They cant do that, some planes will over perform by faar and i think they need to shrink the br for less waiting and full lobbys.
Legit never seen a single person calling for both compression and bigger lobbies at top tier.
(Until now)
Clearly you’ve never used the PL-12
(Or AAM-3 for that matter, with longer range and better turn off the rail)
I would love to see realistic and historycal game mode but in actual RB its literally impossible. You can give me a raffale in 11.0 but i dont think player will accept that. Or a maus in 4.0
Someone get bro out the kitchen 😭😭
Raffale was introduce into the army in may 2000 and maus is a ww2 tank? Raffale A 1986…
Barely. More like a ‘44-‘45 pipe dream than anything.
Shouldn’t be fighting early / mid war stuff.
probably unnerf the missiles and have giant gaps, or fill what would be giant gaps with other nations copypasted stuff
Actually all fox-1 missiles up to 3 have range problems because they have a massive drag that nerfs their real range, gaijin did this I think because they are afraid that the people in the portfolio will die too quickly, apart from this it is because the missiles have scopes invented by gaijin because they do not know how to balance and much less introduce new weapons
Nothing changed yet
Russian fox 1 and 2 max theoric range: 30km (80km for fox 2 as pple told me with r77)
USA fox 3 80% of max theoric range: 80km
French fox 3 18% of max theoric range: 15 to 25km and not 60 to 80km like stated everywhere on official documents.
I know what you can find online, even on military websites are not accurate and stats are kept secret but gaijin made their models on those same documents.
I’m not complaining about dying from them i know how to defend, but going sim and having usa planes spamming at 60km i had a game where i defendend for straight 30 minutes, its not fun. I just wish they could balance other fox 3.
Please share the other nations so we can compare
The R-27 and R-77 have more drag than the AIM-120s hence the lower range, just like IRL.
Infact the first versions R-77 were so bad due the huge fins acting like a airbrake, so many pilots in the operation nations prefered the R-27s
