And u also have a typhoon or rafale about 5km from u. U have just notched an AMRAAM, so ur nose is not pointing at them. OOps.
It had no buffs. Just seeker.
Really can’t compare them. I tried R-77-1 once yesterday, pulls worse than R77 to me, might just be that it is faster.
For less cm, speed and manoeuvrability as well?
Rafale is a different animal, it can sit in the notch and sling MICAS at close range though you are at worst going to trade with a Typhoon at best beat it down with R-77-1/R-27ERs
Typhoon uses BOL pods which are modelled in game to be 4x less effective than regular sized Chaff…
So while you have lots of it. They are nowhere near as effective.
Typhoon is fast, too fast to use at full speed. you cant notch and defend and you risk wing rip!
Su-30 is slower turns similar think both are limited to 12 or so g
has a far better Radar and a better payload
The problem I see is when Su-35 comes and you have Typhoon levels of performance while carrying 14 R-77-1
Except f14 can engage targets while going cold, as missile is arh, and other have to ditch their missiles because it’s sarh
At that point I don’t minf AMRAAMC even C5.
Ok and? The Phoenix is a bad missile. If you can lock the F-14, then you know its position and can easily defeat the Phoenix.
Why are you making me repeat this again?
Aim-54 currently is kinda a mid - ish missile, due to better RWR and more public info about multi pathing
Earlier people had barely usable RWR (pre RWR overhaul era). And people didnt knew about multipathing either, yes you could outpull the missile but without knowing where it is (after the motor is burnt out), you dont know when to perform the maneouvre, do it too quick and you are a sitting duck, do it too late and the missile slams into your face.
This is also highlighted by the fact that the opposing plane was a mig23, at altitudes it didnt have access to MTI hence you could barely lock a chaffing target. Other than that to defeat the missile, you would essentially have to ditch your own SARH missile as the target is out of your radar gimbal, whereas f14 with 6 arh compared to 2 sarh could lobb all its missile, TWS it for a bit, turn around, go to the deck for glound clutter. easy win.
We’re going back to the danger zone update to talk about the even worse Phoenix somehow being overpowered. The problem was the same as any other strong plane.
This sounds like a critical skill issue as this was also the era before the 54’s doppler shift gate was expanded. At launch you only needed to make a 30 degree turn or more from head on to defeat any incoming, head on 54 due to it’s abysmal gate width. No you did not need a superior RWR because the notch that you could slide into was 300 degrees in width, to that same end the 54 was completely unusable outside of that 60 degree aspect unless you were below 5km and at that range, due to the 54s lacking any form of dynamic G limit ramp up as it was hardcoded out to 15 seconds of flight time, it was fully unusable in such situations.
Ok now I know that you guys have 0 idea what you are talking about given that the Mig-23 series had access to a MTI mode just like the F1C back when the F-14A was first added. The 23’s MTI being restricted to a automatic mode that kicks in when pointing towards the ground is a very recent change.
