Fixing the flight models in the game would go a long ways towards making American planes viable again; especially in supersonic flight regimes.
Alternatively, Gaijin could just arcadify the flight models in the same way Flanker flight model is, or the way Mirage 2000 flight model is and give them supersonic turn rates that are massively over their book values.
Oh look someone brought skill issue card to the table.
What makes you think I suffer in current environment? Try not to get too cocky buddy.
Goodness me I had no idea how you have your current opinion.
9M dueling is very scary for the plane that doesn’t have them.
9M doesn’t even have its correct G pull in game.
ASRAAM has a better seeker more range and a much better G pull and RMIN.
Gives you a decent fighting chance.
I think you still don’t understand what I meant.
ASRAAM/IRIS-T, Python-5 or Aim-9X are basically guaranteed kills irl while in warthunder they will be gimped to the point where you can effectively counter them because Gaijin will not allow you to press single button and win the match.
notice how F14 was not mentioned
clearly F14 is the G.O.A.T
Heroes never dies.
I get that it’s the same with 9L but it still allows worse planes to defend themselves at close range.
kinda different cause the planes the fought the 9L irl where flareless in the falklands and this holds true in game but the AIM-9X has been flared before its not immpossible to dodge just unlikely
Not really my point the 9L has a 80% hit chance against an afterburning target rear aspect irl. Even when flaring.
In game it’s a 1 flare basically
yeah i think that and the bad heat sig modeling
Cause the F14A was not the sun IRL same with harrier
Could be but you get my point with the missile thing. Even badly modeled, a bad plane can do well enough.
As for the harrier it’s almost as cold as an alpha jet irl. Its highest heat output is from the front where it is only as hot as a dry power F-4 phantom.
yeah
Any next gen ir missile can actually get flared if you jam the WEZ.
Problem is its much harder compare to previous generation missiles.
this holds true its far more flares you have to use to flare a AIM-9M compared to a AIM-9L you have to spam then move for the M AIM-9X will probably require whole new strategy
If you got the proper technique and angle you can actually flare 9M rather easily.
Problem is most of the time you will not be in proper angle Xd.
Well realistically the strategy should be “acknowledge the threat of a 9X and stay out of its range”
Hey, Do you have rough idea on how much AIM-9X pull? Is it 50g or 60g?
yeah thats how most people i know stay away from the Claws
check the claws its got a 9X
Iırc it pulls around 60G’s however I don’t know if it can pull those number in single plane mode or dual plane mode.
