@@AirRBnpcit’s definitely not the best missile, 9M is better for the meta, and it’s immune to schizo flaring, it also has a much more effective range within its IRCCM then the R-73, the Magic 2 is better in the meta too since it’s much faster than the R-73
@@AirRBnpc it's not best. it's just very maneuverable and at same time it can spin itself to hell if you try big angles which is fuckin funny in fact it should do insane angles. same happens with mica though
It’s a decent missile but in most situations in ARB the 9M is just superior, Suspension tracking is the more useful IRCCM type since it’s immune to schizo flaring, and also you have to actively be trying to flare it properly, I would say it’s harder to flare gatewidth IRCCM due to you having to actually aim your flares to put your flares between the missile but overall for the meta 9M is a better missile, especially in GRB and Sim
+ the 9m is especially effective against the russian jets, the fucked up flight model and the speed bleed makes it close to impossible to defeat 2 9ms in a row
@@elkrumb9159 I still remember before they added the fox 3s how painful it was fighting against aim9ms, I would dodge one missile and after that i'd be so slow there was close to nothing I could do anymore to survive
@@igoralecu6673 I mean I never had that much trouble dodging them, but depending on the flare pattern and plane, it could be harder, the missiles for me hardest to defeat are the gatewidth ones, Angling your plane and aiming your flares is still very hard for me
the R-73 is a very good missile for close fights cuz u can carry a lot and can... well, the bias helps the R-73, no more but its a very good missile for close fights 1v1 obviously, the best missiles are the R-27ER and ET, that shits are impossible to dodge cuz they are guided by the radar of the plane of the pilot
unpopular opinion i hate it so much. i literally find r60ms more useful i completely gave up on grinding su27 mods because of it (and also because gaijin and shit jet flight performace)
@@specc_s1452You are on crack, 9M is immune from schizoflaring, and it’s IRCCM is active at all ranges, unless the Magic 2 and R-73 are within at 3km range it’s essentially just another Fox-2, 9M’s IRCCM is harder to counter all the time, making it more effective, especially in this meta, The R-73 is worse off in most situations to even the magic 2 due to it being much slower It’s not a bad missile but it’s more of a gimmick than a meta defining weapon
Classic Music , Memes and War Thunder is always the best :D
It's such a shit missile - it was actually perfectly good when it first came into the game in Apex Predator Dev.
Skill issue it's still the best IR missile

I am having a blast with it. So fun to use and 95% of my shots Hit. And being in a dogfight this thing is op

@ not really my dude, you kind of just need to roll, at least from behind
But you are correct from side aspect due to the flare placement

You cant fly low anymore you need to noch the missle

Im the opposite imo R-60M is almost as bad as aim-9B
Aim9m is for sure better
Absoloutely not, the only good thing about it is that it has a smokeless motor. Easily one of the worst

Doesn’t match my playstyle,
ofc 9m better in grb
I agree the aim9m ABSOLUTELY dominates in air sim, especially head ons because enemy can't even see the missile
@@elkrumb9159drink water bro. Your dad is not 9m producer.
