in a 1v1 yes it wont really matter, in a arb match it does
barely worse.
If it wasn’t for the seeker 77-1 would be superior to MICA
easily
rn they’re almost tied

Bold words from someone saying missile count doesnt matter, and that MICAs beat R-77-1 at range, and that datalink doesnt help ARHs.
But i digress.

You mean scan presets? Because the SM2 radar has a much larger FOV
yeah, vertical scan specifically.
but they’re both incredibly cracked radars so it doesn’t matter too much tbh
What’s funny is, the R-27ER has the most busted seeker when it comes to fox-1s, the seeker is more resistant and busted than even any fox-3s including MICA, and this is on a missile with better kinematics than most fox-3s and this isn’t looking at the relock capability it has. I’m actually curious what sources Gaijin has to model the R-27ER’s seekers as being the most busted as it is, when it also isn’t even supposed to have a relock capability either according to a bug report.

Correct
Sm2 is ±30 in elevation, against spherical on the rafale.
Might be subject to change though.

Youre missing the point. I said R-77 is worse because of seeker, so themica is harder to notch. I know R-77-1 has a longer kinetic range.
Why are you making shit up?
It was but not so much now, it’s lack of true BVR capability hurts it. The 120D and even C outrange the MICA and upgraded Radars make these missiles more dangerous at longer ranges.
But if you get within 8-12km of a Rafale and they send a MICA it’s GG.
This is not the case, Most TSS players would prefer the SM2 to the Raf due to the ability to sit in the notch and fire off R-77-1s, plus the overall missile count is better than the Raf.
?
You can still notch at that range, that’s standard notch ranges for me lmao.
It quite literally is worse than the R-77 rangewise (not -1, I mean the base missile)
You can notch a MICA at those ranges but it is hard unless you see the launch.
Well R-77-1 doesnt have upgrade numbers like a 120 we have R-77-1 that has been in service since the 90s
I feel Gaijin use current performance for the missile. While the 120C and D are scrutinised more.
it’s not particularly difficult, tbh I don’t feel a huge difference over other missiles.
You fly a Russian jet with large chaff, try it in a Typhoon or Gripen with BOL
MICA does not bite on the BOL chaff because Gaijin dont want NATO having an edge they nerfed the effectiveness of both Chaff and Flares from BOL dispensers.
I primarily play vehicles with medium cal chaff.
Even BOL chaff…
When I fly the Su-33 it is far easier to decoy missiles than it is the Typhoon and as range is reduced the less time you have to get into the notch window and try and decoy the missile.
BOL could do with being classified as medium, what is funny is well BOL Flares are the only ones that can deter IIR missiles…Yet they can struggle in game with basic R-73/Magic 2s
As long as this little dash is above missile target the missile WILL recieve DL update.
Purely examples, nothing else
