zerO_crash Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Every single time I manage a hit with it from my MiG-21Bis, the other aircraft gets close to zero damage. It practically never manages to take down a target, absolutely never. Direct hit or not, he flies off like nothing ever happened... When fired from 150-300m, the missile won't even be able to sustain turn rate of a fighter going at 9g in front of it. Are these missiles really as bad as Korean war missiles? Not once have I`ve been able to get an R-60m to follow and hit a target at max g pull of chased aircraft, since update for this missile. #2 What`s up with the damage of this missile. It takes 3-4 to take down an A10... Is this really realistic? Hit an F15C today on Blue Flag from the front, splash direct in his face. I look back, and see him igniting his AB and RTB... Nothing missing on his aircraft, no sign of abnormality in flight due to damage. Comparison wise, the Aim-9p5, which has similar explosive power, when fired from F-5, seems to nearly always take down the enemy that it`s being fired at... Even better comparison for damage, Mistral (Sa342 mistral), has precisely 3kg, so exactly the same, fired from a slow platform (less kinetic force), and takes down opponent, even AI (yes, the invincible AI) with a single (uno) missile. What is going on here?! Is this in any way realistic? EDIT: Keep in mind, this is based on observations of typical engagements, not just single occurances. It`s been bothering me for some time now, that the missile has close to null ability to take down any aircraft, whereas a 23mm GSH L can do the job with 3-4 rounds. How come?!
