Hate to tell you but I don’t value R27ERs that much more than AIM-7s because both for me have a high success rate when I use them correctly… I also defeat both more often than not. You keep overrating them. They are the best SARH but AIM-7s are not far off.
No circumstance are R-60 better. 9Ls are just better since they have the same flare resistance in rear aspect (making both about equal at closer ranges) but can be used at much farther ranges and aspects.
Like I said, both have similar flare resistance and in that matter both are about as good at close range… the small advantages the R60 have really dont matter in this scenario.
Don’t see the point arguing any further about this, for me its like comparing a aim9b to a aim9g, and I know the aim7f/m is the 2nd best sarh, which makes this issue even worse.
r-60 faster > r-60m gets closer to engine than aim9l in the same timeframe > flare resistance doesn’t matter if missile FOV can’t even see the flare.
That’s why I said the r60m is better in short range rear aspect shoots, cant make it more clear than this. The time window for your target to react to the missile is smaller.
When flying a mig29 I think of r60m’s as an extension of my gun, I almost only use them after getting a good position behind the enemy at gun distance, they won’t let you down, aim9L in the same circumstance will, sometimes.
even if I do agree that its better in very short range shots, the 9L would still be far better as a missile, more so than the R27ER is to the 7F/M, all of this ignoring the fact the F-16 FM is miles ahead of the MiG-29 FM as well
Yes, the 9L is better overall, specially if you are sneaky and climb. But I’d rather have 2x27er + 4x60m than 2x7m + 4x9L. At least if I care about winning. Also the mig29 flight performance is not as bad as people paint it. FM probably bad, but as far as performance goes, is still quite good, especially the 9.12. And you get a better radar in some aspects
R-60M? The missile you essentially need to ram straight into enemy pilots bottom before you even launch if you want it to connect in rear aspect, is better for rear aspect than AIM-9L?
Yes, because the aim9L also essentially needs to be rammed into enemy rear too in order for the missile FOV to not see flares, and at that distance the r-60m works better
I did, both the mig29 and the j11 worked really well mainly due to their 27ers, but that is not reflected in my stats because I didn’t play them as extensively after spading them as the f-16’s, but overall I had very consistent games in the r-27er platforms. Also I don’t main any specific nation, but yes I don’t play sim, my bad for not realising this was sim only, already mentioned that
That´s what I had in mind if I can get it -50 %. Thanks for confirming that it´s possible. Such a cool ass plane and a must buy even if I don´t have any research need for it. The earliest possible sale will probably be new year´s though.
Yeah I really liked the plane, it has its faults for sure. However I thought it’s pretty decent plane, and while it doesn’t have aim120 or 7m. The 7f got me kills, and at a minimum a lot of time it allowed me to close the distance and make them get defensive on my way there and change at least the head on’s dynamic a bit since I came on in the better position if I saw them in advance. As well, it allowed me to more easily deal with helis from further away.
With regards to GRB, I’m not good at ARB and am learning it now. I mostly got these planes and have the top tier plane I do now simply to get to hire tier GRB and leave the 1DL clickbaits behind and all.
So, I liked it and thought it was over priced for sure… but mostly worth it. If you can get it half price, I say def worth it.
Like, this is what i mean when I say you have a 1 in 10 chance of having a good take. The F-4EJ is the brickiest phantom?? There’s hardwing phantoms in game
