Why no Su27S flanker at 13.0 yet?

Can you spit out whatever garbage “bias” take you’re about to say so I don’t have to guess as to what your intended message is

DID YOU KNOW? You can simply stop typing and wait to hit post?

  1. I said R-77s are an option.
  2. We already have up to 14.0 or 14.3 in air…

Nah I’ll respond when I desire thanks.

Who said anything about bias?

AND??

Not a good look lmao

Again, you make no sense lol

@UniqueScorpions-live

look at how bad the r-73’s IRCCM is

If you preflared, you would’ve been fine.

In my experience the IRCCM seems to be very useless against pre flaring targets, and not that good in front aspect shots. However, the rear aspect performance is excellent. I still think the Aim-9M has better IRCCM overall, but that’s more of a preference and playstyle thing.

He was practically touching him lol. It took 2 secs to hit him

you dont understand the IRCCM on the r-73 is so bad that the missile will miss even without the enemy flaring

Why a block 40 instead of a block 30? it’s heavier without much benefit

better radar ig, and for historical reasons (F-16D block 40 was the first plane to get an a2a kill with AMRAAM)

That’s how you should use R-73s, they are very good sub 1km and they can easily pull in at that distance thanks to thrust vectoring.

AIM-9M is useless at that distance.

Depends on how many gs you force it to pull, it’s got 30 g overload.

AIM-9M has 30Gs, R-73 has 40 Gs + thrust vectoring. R-77 has 50Gs, but R-73 is still more maneuverable.

R-73 is the most maneuverable missile in the game. MICA has 50Gs and thrust vectoring, but R-73 still pulls harder off the rail.

R-73 might not pull in when you treat it badly and expect it to always hit, but give it the bare minimum and it won’t fail you.

Why does nobody ever mention that trying to use g-tolerance as the end all be all stat for agility also sends up blaring warning sirens that you in fact don’t know what you’re talking about? Seriously, no missile has its agility primarily determined by its G-tolerance…

True, AIM-120 pulls 35Gs and R-60 pulls 30Gs, but guess which missile is better in a dogfight.

I have never had an Aim-9m fail even in the worst cases, R-73s have failed even in the best cases.

If thrust vectoring was as good as you say. More people would play Ussr than any other nation. And guess what nation for air is played the most? By far, with ease, USA

Don’t forget tracking. So on and so forth.

I wasn’t talking about the seeker, I was talking about pulling in.

However, R-73’s seeker is also very good for dogfights.

I don’t feel like answering this slop, so
