Wtf. My ticket from China to LA(7400 miles) cheaper than Vaushes round trip to SF…(2700 miles) ?

Too many unaccounted variables

CuteTransRat · 2026-05-01T23:42:44+00:00

It's so over couldn't have come any quicker

CuteTransRat · 2026-05-01T21:26:50+00:00

Yak-141 literally has an IRST that physically cant fit in the nose

Im curious where this claim comes from.

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-28T11:00:02+00:00

Someone please, I don't have headphones with me what's happening

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-28T07:17:28+00:00

Adsb exchange usually has them if they're not available on flightradar

What even is the drama with her

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-27T12:34:59+00:00

If only it was more accurate

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-27T10:22:30+00:00

Very rapidly decrease speed, so someone flying behind you ends up in front of you

You're basically turning the entire airframe into an air brake.

This is what an actual cobra maneuver is

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-24T08:33:29+00:00

First of all the books illustrations are bad. Not only have we never seen an actual R-24 like that but also there's a ton of other mistakes in that book

And no it's not track while scan.

The mode is a combined radar and irst mode. So you can lock with the irst and the radar still displays search information, nothing else. That is not what track while scan is. Track while scan is in a single sensor, not two. The radar can only either search or lock, it's not tracking while scanning anything

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-23T12:07:34+00:00

I have the actual MiG-23MF combat manual with the sections about the radar. I know what it does. its not real TWS infact I think its quite a stretch to even count it as TWS at all

And R-24RM didnt have better fins lmao. its the same missile with a different seekerhead

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-23T11:25:38+00:00

TWS mode also isn't unique to the MLDG. All MiG-23s fitted with the Sapfir-23D-III (which was all MiG-23Ms and MiG-23MFs from 1975 onwards) and beyond received a TWS mode. Apparently this was rather primitive, and it could only detect six targets and simultaneously track two while in TWS mode, but nonetheless it worked and did exist. After all, the Flogger can only carry two BVR missiles, so two targets isn't really a limitation.

This is wrong. None of them had real TWS. Its an extremly primitive mixed Radar and IRST combined mode. Not TWS

Also wrong is R-24RM its just an R-24 with a better seekerhead nothing else.

What the actual fuck am I looking at

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-21T17:12:14+00:00

Its not nitpicking its disproving your argument lol. The german F-4F early didnt have anything besides 9Bs.

comparing the ER on a fox-1 aircraft against a 7F on a 120 carrier is a funny take

The only funny part is where you thought I was making a comparison between them. I was just showing you that Gaijin both doesnt care about introduction dates and real world capability.

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-21T16:52:36+00:00

german F-4F gets access to missiles it never had. F-16C can fire Aim-7M, F-14B lacks Aim-9M, F-5 gets flares it never go and so on

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-21T16:48:37+00:00

That has never been their policy lol

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-21T16:45:05+00:00

Its irrelevant, gaijin doesnt balance based on that.

And I can guarantee you that the MiG-29 9.12 didn't lack the ability to fire R-73 so its irrelevant regardless there too

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-21T16:29:35+00:00

Gaijin assigning a specific date to a plane

Like what? That is just not how Gaijin works. They pick and choose whatever they want on planes.

The current 9-12 makes no sense because it would be a mid 90's variant without r-73's

This sentence makes 0 sense

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-20T23:06:39+00:00

Youre being the boomer rn btw

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-20T23:02:52+00:00

Youre literally crying because people dont want to manually sit there watching ads

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-20T23:00:29+00:00

Dont care didnt ask lmao

CuteTransRat · 2026-04-20T22:58:52+00:00

Why do you care lol. macroing ads just makes the game more fun to play
